Family Field Trip to KL Bird Park

Well this is my first post in 2015! Before I write further let me wish you a Happy New Year 2015! How is your new year? What is your resolution for this year? Well I have a few but let me write more about them in my future post. As always I've been busy with life. We are homeschooling and the baby will turn 1 year old in a couple of days. How time flies! He still doesn't walk yet but I can foresee my life will get even more busier once he does. So what we have been up to lately? Apart from celebrating new year with some of our relatives, we visited the bird park! Yay! We been wanting to visit this park for some time but the weather was not too kind so we postponed the trip several times. But some time before new year we decided to go for it. And I was very happy because it was a perfect day for a 'field trip' - not too hot or humid and definitely not hazy.

We arrived at the part sometime before noon and decided to have our lunch at the nearby Hornbill Cafe. The food was okay, pricey of course but the service was good and I loved that the place was very clean and they have baby diaper changing station in the ladies washroom.

Right after lunch we proceeded to the ticket counter to buy our tickets. We are Malaysians (you need to show your MyKad or MyKid) so we enjoyed discounted rates: adult - RM25/pax and kids from 3-12yo: RM12/pax, free for babies and toddlers! There were quite a number of visitors mostly tourists but it wasn't crowded at all. My daughter was super excited and couldn't wait to go in. So here are some photos taken on that day. 

Some of things I noticed about this place:

1) This park is clean and very well maintained

2) You can feed the birds (some of them) using bird seeds that you can buy from vending machines 

3) There's a canteen where you can buy drinks and snacks and chairs and benches for resting

4) There's a playground at the furthest end of the park

5) There's a pond with waterfall where you can take close up pictures of peacocks

6) Lots of peacocks! You can even touch their beautiful feathers. 

Is this park worth visiting? I guess as a parent of young children I would say yes but make it fun and educational by providing them reading materials about birds before and after the trip. A few days after this trip I printed some bird activity sheets for my daughter just for fun. She loved it and wished to visit this place again in the future. Here's a photo of the activity sheets I printed for my daughter.

And here's the video of my daughter touching a peacock. 

And a video of us feeding an emu!
