Malaysian Family Holidays

Malaysia For Kids

If you are looking for an amazing Asian family holiday then make sure you travel to Malaysia with kids. This is one of my top 10 family destinations. It has unique attractions, rain forests, great shopping, nice weather, beaches and bustling cities too.

When you travel to Malaysia with kids you will enjoy the abundance of wildlife including the lovable orangutans and handsome (lol) proboscis monkeys. The shopping here is really good and quite cheap. Time to stock up on kid's clothes!

Kuala Lumpur is the base for budget airline Air Asia. This is my favorite budget airline as it is cheap, reliable and has extensive routing around Asia.

Visiting Kuala Lumpar

Kuala Lumpur or KL as it is known, is the capital of Malaysia. When you travel to Malaysia you will probably pass through here-don't miss out on the chance to spend a few days here with your family.

There is lots to see and do in this bustling city. Kids will like visiting the Batu Caves and climbing up the monkey filled steps. A visit to the Petronas Twin Towers sky deck to view KL is always wonderful for the children.
