Living In Malaysia > Kids Activities

There are numerous activities for children to become involved in. There is a wide variety of sporting clubs and most of the International Women's Groups have activities arranged for families with children. MANZA arranges the KL Junior Athletics which is run on each Sunday. There are bowling centers, indoor skating and roller blade parks, indoor play centers, cinemas and amusement and video games centers. Outdoor play areas are not as common since the climate is not particularly agreeable, however they do exist and one particularly good one is in the Parklands of KLCC at Petronas Twin Towers. There are some private social and sporting clubs that cater for families with children. Within and nearby to the expatriate areas there are numerous classes available such as dance, drama, music and art.
