Planning a family trip to Kuala Lumpur and need a kid-friendly Kuala Lumpur itinerary? You’re in the right place! We spent a week in KL with our daughters, who were 2 and 6 years old at the time. We were there just before Christmas and found loads of fun things to do around the city.
In this post, I’ll share our personal Kuala Lumpur with kids itinerary, packed with tips on transportation, activities, and food options. Let’s dive in!
Disclaimer: We believe in responsible and ethical travel, so we won’t recommend any attractions involving animal exploitation. That’s why you won’t see suggestions like Aquaria KLCC, KL Bird Park (we walked by, and it looked incredibly sad), KL Butterfly Park, Sunway Lagoon Water Park, or the Wildlife Park with many wild animals in this itinerary.

Day 1: Arrival in Kuala Lumpur
We flew with Bangkok Airways from Koh Samui, Thailand, through Krabi, to Kuala Lumpur. After a not-so-smooth flight (our oldest had to vomit), we finally arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The airport is pretty easy to navigate and well-organized.
Transport Options from the Airport in Kuala Lumpur with Kids
We took a prepaid taxi to our hotel. Here are your options to get a taxi at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA):
Option 1: Prepaid Airport Taxi
- Find the taxi counters: After clearing customs, you’ll find several airport taxi counters in the Arrival Hall. There are signs guiding you to these counters.
- Choose your taxi type: There are different types of taxis available (Budget, Premier, Family, and Luxury). If you have a lot of luggage or a larger family, opt for the Family or Premier taxi.
- Pay for the taxi: You’ll need to pay a flat rate based on your destination and the type of taxi. After paying, you’ll be given a voucher.
- Proceed to the taxi queue: Follow the signs to the designated taxi stand just outside the terminal. Present your voucher to the staff, and they’ll assign you a taxi.
- Enjoy your ride: Taxis are air-conditioned and metered, but since you’ve already paid, no need to worry about extra charges.
Estimated costs:
- Budget taxi: RM 75–95 (USD 16–21)
- Premier taxi: RM 100–150 (USD 22–33)
- Family/MPV: RM 150–200 (USD 33–44)
Option 2: Metered Taxi (Outside the Terminal)
If you prefer not to book in advance, you can catch a regular metered taxi directly outside the Arrivals area.
- Head to the taxi rank: Once you exit the terminal, follow the signs to the metered taxi queue.
- Board your taxi: Unlike prepaid taxis, these taxis use meters. Ensure the driver switches on the meter when you start the journey to avoid being overcharged.
- Pay according to the meter: At the end of your ride, you’ll pay the amount shown on the meter.
Note: Metered taxis can sometimes be more expensive depending on traffic conditions.
Option 3: Use Ride-Hailing Apps like Grab
If you prefer ride-hailing services, Grab is widely used in Kuala Lumpur. We used Grab for every ride during our holiday week.
- Download the Grab app: If you don’t already have it, download Grab from the App Store or Google Play.
- Book a ride: Use the free airport Wi-Fi to book your ride. Grab rides are usually cheaper than metered taxis.
- Proceed to the designated pick-up point: Follow the signs to the Grab pick-up area, usually located near the taxi stands.
- Enjoy your ride: You’ll be shown the fare in the app before booking, so you won’t have any surprises.
Estimated Grab fare: RM 65–100 (USD 14–22), depending on the time and traffic.
Get an e-SIM
As soon as we land in a new country, I connect to the airport Wi-Fi and buy an e-SIM. That way, I get instant access to mobile data—no need to search for a local SIM or worry about roaming fees. I can start using apps like Grab and Google Maps right away, which makes getting around super easy. It’s convenient, affordable, and saves you from relying on public Wi-Fi.
My favorite provider is Airalo. They have great packages at good prices, and I’ve never had any issues with installing their e-SIM.

Day 2: Exploring the City Center and a Science Museum
Petronas Twin Towers
We started Day 2 of our Kuala Lumpur with kids itinerary, by visiting the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. I had seen the towers 10 years ago, but back then, without kids. So it was even more special to experience it again with my family.
In front of the Petronas Towers, you’ll find water fountains and, most importantly, lots of photographers offering to take your picture. We had one taken and got it instantly via AirDrop on our phone.
After admiring the towers from below, I recommend heading up to the observation deck. It’s on the 86th floor and offers panoramic views of the city—a must-see for families!
Opening hours:
- Tuesday to Sunday: 9:00 am – 9:00 pm
- Closed on Mondays.
Ticket prices:
- Adults: RM 80 (USD 17)
- Children (ages 3-12): RM 33 (USD 7)
- Seniors (60+): RM 42 (USD 9)
Petrosains Discovery Centre
Afterward, we went to Petrosains Discovery Centre, a science museum in Suria KLCC Mall, located at the foot of the Petronas Twin Towers. Kids can explore science through games, experiments, and simulations, like pretending to be an astronaut or riding in a helicopter simulator.
The Petrosains Discovery Centre covers a vast area of 7,000 square meters and is divided into 11 interactive exhibits. One of the highlights is the Dark Ride, which takes you through the history of Malaysia’s oil and gas industry in a fun, engaging way. There’s also a 3D theater where kids can experience immersive science films.
My daughters loved visiting the dinosaurs. I think that was the highlight for us. But honestly, for our 2-year-old, it was just too much. The museum was packed with school groups, so we had to wait at every station for our turn.
I’d recommend this experience for kids 5 years and older. It might also be a good idea to visit in the afternoon when it’s less crowded.
Opening hours:
- Tuesday to Sunday: 9:30 am – 5:30 pm
- Closed on Mondays.
Ticket prices:
- Adults: RM 49 (USD 11)
- Children (ages 3-12): RM 18 (USD 4)
- Seniors (60+): RM 21 (USD 5)
Kuala Lumpur Tower
In the evening, we headed up the Kuala Lumpur Tower for some incredible city views. Standing at 421 meters, it offers a full 360-degree view of Kuala Lumpur, including the Petronas Towers and the city lights. It’s a great way to see the city from above, but the wait can get long during peak hours, so it’s better to book ahead or go earlier.
Opening hours:
- Daily, 9:00 am – 10:00 pm
Ticket prices:
- Adults: RM 49 (USD 11)
- Children (ages 4-12): RM 29 (USD 7)
- Seniors (60+): RM 29 (USD 7)
Dinner at Sala in Bangsar
For dinner, we visited Sala in Bangsar, a fantastic vegetarian café serving plant-based tacos and burgers. The portions were generous and the flavors delicious.
Unfortunately, most of the cafes and restaurants we found in KL were located in malls. I don’t find that very charming, to be honest. But we got used to it pretty quickly!
Day 3: KLCC Park and Interactive Fun
KLCC Park
This day of our Kuala Lumpur itinerary was all about fun learning. In the morning, we spent time at KLCC Park—a kid’s paradise! There’s a massive playground (over 2 acres!) with swings, slides, and all the fun stuff. Plus, there’s a free wading pool where kids can splash around and cool off. We relaxed in the shade while the kids had a blast. Afterwards, we took a nice walk through the park.
I always think, especially when you’re doing city trips with young kids, you need to plan enough time in nature to avoid that “city overload” feeling.
Don’t forget to bring a change of clothes, swim gear, sunscreen, and towels!
In the afternoon, we went to Kidzania Kuala Lumpur, which was another highlight of our Kuala Lumpur with kids itinerary. There, kids can try out different professions, like being a pilot or a chef. Our girls loved pretending to be doctors and bakers.
Opening hours:
- Tuesday to Sunday: 10:00 am – 6:00 pm
- Closed on Mondays.
Ticket prices:
- Adults: RM 90 (USD 20)
- Children (ages 4-17): RM 60 (USD 13)
- Seniors (60+): RM 35 (USD 8)
Dinner at The Ganga Cafe
For dinner, we enjoyed a meal at The Ganga Café, a simple vegetarian Indian spot with delicious curries and chapatis.
Day 4: Adventure at Batu Caves and Taman Tugu
Batu Caves
In the morning, we visited Batu Caves, one of KL’s most famous landmarks. We knew we couldn’t miss it on our Kuala Lumpur with kids itinerary—it’s one of the most iconic sites in the city. But honestly, I had no expectations because the most photographed tourist attractions are usually the most crowded. So, we took a Grab taxi right after breakfast and were pleasantly surprised!
Sure, it was busy, but not overwhelmingly so. The atmosphere at this religious site was truly special. Plus, most of it is in the shade, so it’s manageable with kids.
Batu Caves is a massive limestone hill with caves hidden inside, and at the entrance, there’s a huge golden statue (140 feet tall!) of a Hindu god named Lord Murugan. To reach the main cave, you have to climb 272 colorful steps—don’t worry, it’s not as tough as it sounds, and the view from the top is totally worth it! Inside, it feels like stepping into another world with towering rock formations and ancient temples. It’s also a major site for Hindu worship, especially during the Thaipusam festival when tons of people come to celebrate. Plus, there are cheeky monkeys running around, which adds a bit of adventure to the visit!
The only downside: Taxis can only park on the main road. So after your visit, you’ll have to walk all the way across the large forecourt back to the main road. Save some energy for that!
I’d definitely visit again. For our family, this was the absolute highlight of the trip! Don’t forget to dress appropriately—shoulders and knees covered. I always bring my kimono for this. Super practical!
Opening hours:
- Daily: 6:00 am – 9:00 pm
- Entry: Free
Taman Tugu
Later, we headed to Taman Tugu, an urban forest park with beautiful walking trails. It’s a lush, peaceful forest park with over 1,000 indigenous trees, giving you a break from the city without having to travel far.
It feels a bit like an urban jungle. There are jogging and walking trails that are kid-friendly, and you can spot wildlife like birds and butterflies along the way. It’s also a conservation project, so while you’re exploring, you’re supporting efforts to protect Malaysia’s natural heritage.
Opening hours:
- Daily: 7:00 am – 6:30 pm
- Entry: Free
Dinner at Botanica+Co
We ended the day with dinner at Botanica+Co at Alila Bangsar, an upscale restaurant offering a mix of Asian and Western dishes with many vegetarian options. The taste was ok, the atmosphere amazing!
Day 5: Indoor Adventure and Windlab Experience
Berjaya Times Square Theme Park
In the morning, we visited Berjaya Times Square Theme Park—the biggest indoor theme park in Malaysia, covering a massive 133,000 square feet. Located inside the Berjaya Times Square Mall, the park is divided into two zones: Galaxy Station for thrill-seekers and Fantasy Garden for the younger kids.
With 14 rides in total, there’s something for everyone. One of the highlights is the Supersonic Odyssey, a roller coaster with loops and twists. We didn’t go on it ourselves, but just watching it zoom over our heads was exciting enough!
For families, it’s a nice spot because small kids can enjoy gentler rides like the merry-go-round. Plus, they even offer stroller rentals, which was super convenient. And since it’s all indoors, you don’t have to worry about bad weather!
We spent about 3 hours enjoying the kid-friendly rides. That said, it was a bit of a mixed experience. A lot of things were rundown or broken, and many rides were completely closed. The food on-site wasn’t great either.
Still, I think it’s worth a visit. For the kids, it’s a thrilling spot! Just don’t expect a Western-standard amusement park.
Opening hours:
- Daily: 10:00 am – 10:00 pm
Ticket prices:
- Adults: RM 70 (USD 15)
- Children (ages 3-12): RM 65 (USD 14)
- Seniors (60+): RM 45 (USD 10)
Windlab
In the afternoon, we tried indoor skydiving at Windlab. It had been a long-time dream of ours to try it out. We had to sign up online beforehand and book our slots.
Windlab is one of the few places where you can experience indoor skydiving without having to jump out of a plane! It gives you the sensation of free-falling in a safe, controlled environment. The vertical wind tunnel blasts air up to 270 km/h, lifting you off your feet and making you feel like a superhero! Each session lasts about 60 seconds, which might not sound like much, but trust me, it feels epic when you’re soaring.
The best part? It’s suitable for kids as young as 3, so our 6-year-old, Lila, could join in.
First, there’s a briefing where you learn simple hand signals and how to position your legs, arms, and head. Then you suit up with a flight suit, shoes, helmet, and goggles. After that, you wait in a room right next to the wind tunnel. The instructor takes each participant into the tunnel one by one and flies with them. If you feel confident, you can even do a “highfly” and soar to the top of the tunnel with the instructor.
You can decide beforehand how many 60-second sessions to book. We went for 5 per person, I think.
It was an exhilarating experience, and Lila absolutely loved the feeling of flying! Please note: During that time, our 2-year-old Ruby stayed with a nanny.
Opening hours:
- Tuesday to Sunday: 10:00 am – 7:00 pm
- Closed on Mondays.
Ticket prices:
- Prices start at RM 99 (USD 21) per person for a first-timer flight.
Day 6: Genting Highlands Adventure and Petronas Light Show
Genting Highlands, SkyWorlds Theme Park, Awana SkyWay & Skytropolis Funland
Genting Highlands is a popular hill resort in the mountains, just about an hour from Kuala Lumpur. It’s known for its big resorts, hotels, theme parks, casinos, and shopping malls. The best part? It’s much cooler up there, with temperatures around 60-68°F (15-20°C)—a refreshing break from the city heat.
The main attraction is SkyWorlds Theme Park, which has 26 rides for all ages, plus the Awana SkyWay cable car that gives you fantastic views of the jungle below. There’s also Skytropolis Funland, an indoor amusement park, and even a snow park where kids can play in real snow. We didn’t visit those, but our daughters loved the roller coasters at SkyWorlds and the cable car ride.
One thing to note: Genting Highlands can get super crowded on weekends, with long wait times for rides. I definitely recommend visiting on a weekday! You can easily book a Grab taxi to take you there.
Opening hours:
- Daily: 10:00 am – 6:00 pm
Ticket prices:
- Adults: RM 130 (USD 28)
- Children (ages 3-12): RM 95 (USD 20)
Lake Symphony Fountain Show
We ended the day with the magical Petronas Towers light show, which lights up the towers and fountains in stunning colors. It’s also known as the Lake Symphony Fountain Show and takes place at KLCC Park, right at the base of the Petronas Towers. It’s a free, nightly water and light display featuring 190 water fountains moving in sync with music and colorful lights. The fountains shoot water as high as 42 meters (138 feet), creating beautiful patterns and waves.
The show runs every evening, usually at 8:00 PM, 9:00 PM, and 10:00 PM, and each performance lasts about 10 minutes.
We watched from the park’s Esplanade, and to our surprise, our two daughters happily sat through the whole 10 minutes without a single complaint!
Day 7: Last-Minute Shopping and Relaxation in Kuala Lumpur with Kids
Suria KLCC Mall
On our final day, we did some shopping at Suria KLCC Mall, a family-friendly spot with everything from luxury brands to local stores (and yes, this was the shopping centre with the Science Museum). We honestly found it to be the nicest mall we visited. They even have massage salons, where we treated ourselves to a foot massage before heading to the airport—highly recommended!
Plus, like in most big malls in Kuala Lumpur, there’s a Boost Juice store. I love this chain! It’s the perfect, healthy snack for everyone in the family, so you don’t have to settle for a sugary croissant or something similar.
Afterward, it was time to head to the airport. Our amazing week in KL with kids had come to an end.
The Best Activities for Parents (Without Kids)
We really value having some couple time while traveling. That’s why I booked a nanny for one afternoon through this Facebook group. She came highly recommended by other parents and stayed with the girls at the hotel. In general, though, I’d recommend hiring a nanny through an agency or using your hotel’s nanny service for more peace of mind.
But here’s what you can enjoy as a couple, without the kids!

Essential Tips for a Stress-Free Kuala Lumpur Family Itinerary
- Pre-book tickets for attractions: Popular spots like the Petronas Towers and Kidzania can get crowded, so it’s best to book in advance.
- Use Grab for transportation: It’s affordable and convenient, especially with kids.
- Pack snacks and water: Kuala Lumpur can get hot, so keeping hydrated and energized is important.
- Plan some indoor activities: Avoid the midday heat by exploring indoor attractions like Berjaya Times Square Theme Park and indoor playgrounds like Kidzoona.
Our Stay at W Hotel as a Family of Four
Finding a good accommodation is crucial when planning a Kuala Lumpur with kids itinerary. We had a great stay at the W Hotel with our family of four. The staff were incredibly sweet and attentive to the kids, which made the whole experience so much nicer. The hearty breakfast buffet was a highlight—super veggie-friendly and, hands down, the best we’ve ever had! Our room had amazing views of the Petronas Towers, and the pool offered the same stunning backdrop.
We paid around 250 USD per night for a room with two king beds and a lovely bathroom with a tub. The only downsides were that they didn’t have a kids club, and no 2-bedroom family rooms, but overall, it was a wonderful stay.
Final Thoughts on the Perfect 1-Week Kuala Lumpur with Kids Itinerary
Kuala Lumpur is an amazing spot for a family trip, with the perfect mix of culture, fun adventures, and attractions that everyone can enjoy.
As vegetarians, we did face a few food challenges, but we also found some fantastic veggie-friendly places that saved the day.
All in all, I have to say this wasn’t our easiest vacation. But I think that’s mostly because our 2-year-old was going through a phase where she just wasn’t sleeping well, and let’s be honest, that wore down all our nerves. Plus, I found Malaysians not to be as friendly as I expected, but then again, we’ve been spoiled by Thailand, where people are basically the crème de la crème of kindness!
Hopefully, this Kuala Lumpur with kids itinerary helps make your family’s trip to KL just as fun and exciting as ours!
