Farm In The City has 17 stations to explore including pony rides. We saw alpacas, deers, horses, guinea pigs, rabbits, skunks, snakes, tortoises, fish, birds, raccoons and many other animals. It combines wildlife animals and tamed animals without cages. Animals are allowed to roam freely and visitors can feed, pet and take memorable photos. The design here is like a typical Malaysian 'kampung' and you can really feel yourself in a farm. We spent about 3 hours here and my children had a lot of fun feeding, petting and learning about these animals.
Step into the "longevity village" which houses a wide range of rare and exotic tortoises and turtles. On top of that, grab the chance to feed the giant tortoises in the farm. Get the vegetables from the zookeeper if you wish to feed the tortoises. You can also have a conversation with the zookeeper to get to know more about the tortoises such as their age, gender and so on.
Seterusnya, kami dibawak pulak berkenalan dengan Raccoon yang ada bersebelahan dengan tempat menunggang kuda ponny tu. Comel-comel dan jinak-jinak Raccoon yang ada kat Farm In The City ni. Agaknya sebab dan terbiasa dengan kedatangan pengunjung, dia pun dah tak heran dan tak takut pun dengan pengunjung yang ada.
Before our afternoon tea time at Kebun Cafe, we visited one of the main attractions at Ulu Yam, which is World of Phalaenopsis. Built on a 6-acre agricultural land, World of Phalaenopsis as its name implies, is a nursery specialises in moth orchids.
If it’s the latter, then I suggest a day trip to Ulu Yam, where you’ll find World of Phalaenopsis, a plant nursery that specialises in phalaenopsis (or moth orchids, because phalaenopsis is a mouthful. lol). Tucked within a quiet kampung, about an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur, the nursery is home to thousands of orchids as well as a myriad of other plants — and it even has its own hipster-esque cafe called Florescence.
So after a brief stroll around the beautiful orchid farm of World Of Phalaenopsis, we quickly headed to the café for a speedy nosh.
[Filmed before MCO 3.0 Lockdown]Let’s visit some birds! The first time I’ve seen so many ostriches in one place, and they are TALL. Do visit this place to g...
The special promotion for the weekend is 2 adults 2 kids @ RM 90. Comes with a pack of veggie for goat feeding, 2 bottle of milk for goat feeding, donkey ride and entrance to the farm. (The actual normal rates as the last picture in the blog. )
Ostrich wonderland semenyih, entry fee between rm10-20, where you get to see most tame animals in the farm, for eg: chickens, ducks, goose, goats, horse, ostriches.
♥Verdict: The tour took about 2-2.5 hours, short but rather fun (especially the tram ride) and educational tour for both kids and adult. However, I think it would be better if they didn’t limit the visiting time for each attraction (except the Selangor Traditional House).
Do you want to take your kids on an educational trip during the holidays? I recommend that you and your family learn more about the diverse range of fruits and plants cultivated in Selangor Fruit Valley, Malaysia, and sample some delectable fruits! They also provided a tiny petting zoo with deer park and other animals!
After our own “misguided” tour, we sat down for steamboat dinner. We can choose from 2 different type of soup flavours: Kombu (seaweed) or Miso. There are two compartments in the pot so obviously we took both flavours. There’s also an array of sauces to choose from; steamboat chili sauce (medium spicy and very spicy available), teriyaki sauce, mala chili as well as crushed peanuts. After we’ve done eating, we’re required to help them clean up by taking all the dishes to the designated area.
Hello, foodies! Bug’s Paradise Farm is where you go to enjoy organic steamboat with a farm-to-table experience!
I ordered the Lion’s Mane Mushroom Wrap, which is essentially a vegan burrito. Inside was fresh lettuce, carrots, purple cabbage and mushrooms plus a creamy sesame sauce, which bound all the elements together. I don’t like vegetables in general, but these were fresh, sweet and crunchy, and the mushrooms had a nice meat-like texture to them.
Purchase an entrance ticket for RM10/pax and you’ll get a RM10 cash voucher. You can use it to purchase animal feed, food or water or you can even use it for all the activities.
Worth the visit? A YES from us. Though it’s pretty small, we feel the amount of money and time spent there is just nice. And it’s not too crowded (for now). The kids can take their own sweet time, feeding, petting and cuddling the animals!
Last week we pay a visit to Ave's World Eco Farm located opposite to the Broga Hills hike starting point. (just across the street). The entrance fee is only rm8 for each person more than 2 years old.
Overall, Kuan Wellness Eco Park is a place you can consider visiting if you’re in Tanjung Sepat, although I wouldn’t drive all the way here just for it. The birds nest exhibits are interesting and educational, but the mini zoo needs some serious upkeep.
With a total land area of 5 acres, the ecology park consists of a 3½ storey swiftlet house and a visitor centre, surrounded by palm oil plantations and tropical fruit farms which provide plenty of insects, the swiftlet's favourite food source. The visitor centre is equipped with car park, restrooms, reception lobby, swiftlet gallery, eco theatres, bird nest processing and research centre, sales centre, smoke-free bird nest eco café , eco-garden, green promenade and more interesting features to be explored .
♥Verdict: Overall, it was a pleasant stay at Hoho Farmstay which is ideal for a quick getaway not too far from KL with family or big group of friends. Location wise, Ulu Yam town is merely a few minutes drive and there are convenient stores such as 99 Speedmart and KK Mart to get whatever you need. The nearest restaurant (steamboat) is located at the entrance of that residential area.
♥Verdict: It’s a fun and educational outing for both adults and kids. We learn new knowledge, got the opportunity to get closer to our mother nature and happy with our quality family time spent together. If you’re not fancy of outdoor activity (the farm tour), the luncheon is available for booking too.

We stopped by at TK Coconut Farm Ville for refreshment before we proceed to Sekinchan for lunch (will blog about it on next post). This place offers assorted of beverages and there are food vendors sell food such as Mee Udang, Kuey Teow Goreng, Nasi Campur and etc. (Please read the reviews before ordering the food. (◔_◔))
