November and December are the biggest rewards in the life of primary and secondary school children. We’ve got some activities where both children and adults can have some smart fun. Hey, who said you can’t enjoy the break without ditching education itself?
1. Ice Age Alive

Back to the near-genesis of existence! The exhibit introduces visitors to the many ice age eras and creatures that once roamed the earth across America, Europe and Australia. Interactive entertainment, video documentaries, games and even facilities according to theme like snowpool and ice skating rink are also available. It’s a real-life Ice Age sequel experience.

3. Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary

Family bonding is never limited to movie sessions and jungle trekking. Heck, some of us only do those things with friends. Say, perhaps convincing them to visit our endangered elephants. You may learn a thing or two about how nature and conservation share a specific connection in a parent-child relationship. And hopefully, it’ll boost your geography and strategic planning grades!
