If your kids are older it's advisable to visit the Batu Caves. The Batu Caves is an amazing experience! When you arrive at the Batu Caves you are overwelmed by the beauty of the Lord Murugan statue, that is painted in gold and the other hindoestic statues. Also the caves are fantastic to see, especially when the monkeys are walking around. Climbing the 272 steps is intense and a real challange. However it is worth it, when you arrive at the top of the Batu Caves. From there you have an amazing view over the city of Kuala Lumpur
