Dinosaur attractions in Klang Valley allow children to experience stepping into a prehistoric world filled with life-sized dinosaurs and interactive displays.
Parents can enjoy quality family time while watching their children learn and have fun together at these popular attractions.
I’m Sue, and I compiled this list of 8 dinosaur attractions in Klang Valley (some of which we have personally visited and others we plan to visit in the future) when looking for Jurassic themed places to bring my son who is in his dinosaur era. He knows many of the different dinosaur names, their types and characteristics by heart!
I hope this list will be useful for parents who have kids who love dinosaurs and want to bring them for a fun day out in Kuala Lumpur or Selangor.
