Over the weekend of the first week of school holidays, we took our kids to Farm In The City in Selangor. A place where we have heard many parents and even kids share their excitement about while visiting the venue.


And after a long wait, as it was on our bucket list on places to visit with the kids, we were glad that we could finally arrange a time to come and spend time together as a family.


It's actually not too far from where we live. In fact a mere 18 minutes away. It's definitely reachable with vehicle or public transportation like Grab.

Farm In The City is an eden of nature and animals that is now a pretty good know tourist attraction amongst the locals with its addition role in nature and wildlife research and conservation. Managed by a team of professionals, you will be amazed with its setting inside where you will be in touch upclose and personal with wildlife and nature.


The entrance was not too hard to spot, although parking was limited infront of the entrance but there was still spots outside that you can park or even along the road as guided by a parking road attendant at the gate. You can also park at the newly developed shoplots opposite Farm In The City.



At the entrance, infront of the souvenir store, there's a huge family photo board where you can pop your head over and snap a photo with your favourite animals. There's also some nice backdrop for some selfie moments and a cool car out at the yard with the "I love Farm In The City" expression painted on the body of the vehicle.

Incase you're wondering, you have to enter the souvenir shop first, only then you will be taken to another area where you can play games like hopscotch, bowling with coconuts, bubbles, kiddie rides or even sand art.


As you proceed further along the path, there's a bird house with all the birds hanging around the pathways and ledges.




Right next to the ticket counter they have a pop up stall that sells a bucket of food for feeding the animals for RM10. You can get them there before entering or you can also enter and get them when you see it.
If you choose not to get it, they also have many dispensing machines all around the farm that charges you RM2 per box of one type of feed (eg. Hay, Seeds, etc).


At some areas when you don't have any feed on hand with you, you can also see if there's any staff nearby holding a bunch of green vegetable leaves for the animals that you can also feed with, but you'll probably only get 1 piece of feed just for the fun of it.
