Angry Birds Park is definitely the first place that you would think for family outings in JB when you have children who are fans of this popular game franchise! However, a family pass for 4 individuals with MyKad will cost RM218, which is not a very cheap rate considering the fact that there are several entry slots throughout the day.
Non-locals will need to pay RM280 for the same package. Kids under 3 years old can enter the premise free of charge but you will need to show the admission team a snapshot of your child’s birth certificate on your phone.
You can stay up to a maximum of 4 hours for your ticket, with the first session starting at 10AM – 1PM, then 2PM- 5PM and the last session from 6PM – 10PM. VIsiting during the 1st or 3rd session would be recommended if you want to make the most out of your ticket pricing.
Inside, you will find enough attractions and activities which would take you at least 2 hours to complete if the venue is not crowded. Children can freely roam the activity park and enjoy mathematics games, navigate through a laser maze like a secret agent, go down the Lazer Bird Scoot on a kiddy scooter and many more!
Active kids will definitely enjoy jumping on the Anti-gravity Trampolines and the Air Parkour Track. Meanwhile, parents who do not wish to enter the activity park can rest at the Parents’ Lounge on the 2nd floor where they can still watch over their kids.
Remember to bring your own socks! Visitors are required to wear socks prior to entering the Angry Birds Park, and shoes are to be left on the shoe rack as well. You can also purchase new pairs of socks for RM3 here.
You can also get some quick bites at the snack corner, or get yourself some nice Angry Birds souvenirs at the Angry Birds Shop. Here’s a tip: If you are planning to celebrate your child’s birthday here, there’s a Bird-day room where you can have a nice birthday party!
