🏙️ Kuala Lumpur – KidZania Adventures and Mini Careers 😄👷‍♂️👩‍⚕️
Next stop was KidZania Kuala Lumpur—and it was a total hit with the kids! It’s a mini city built just for them, where they got to try out real-life jobs like firefighters, surgeons, delivery drivers, and even pilots. They had an absolute ball running around, earning KidZos (the local currency), and getting a taste of the working world
One of the best moments? Watching them become news reporters, standing in front of the camera and going “live” on TV. They took it so seriously...reading scripts, adjusting mics, and reporting like pros. It was hilarious and heartwarming all at once, and we couldn’t stop smiling 😃
We had just as much fun watching them take it all in stride. Definitely one of the best family-friendly experiences in KL.

🌴 Gardens by the Bay – Stitch, Lights, and Island Magic ✨
This stop was pure enchantment. We explored Gardens by the Bay and were lucky to catch the Lilo & Stitch-themed Children’s Festival, which transformed the Supertree Grove into a tropical dream. As night fell, the Garden Rhapsody light show began“The Way to ‘Ohana” with the Supertrees dancing in sync to iconic songs from the movie. It was breathtaking, and honestly, no video could ever capture the magic of being there in person (video of the show to come in my next post).
The whole experience was a celebration of family, adventure, and island vibes. The boys were wide-eyed, and we all felt like we’d stepped into a Disney dream under the stars.
