During the recent Chinese New Year holidays, we went to Farm in the City (FITC) and we brought along a niece and a nephew with us. Our 3 kiddos love spending time with their cousins so we asked for our brother and sister in law's permissions to kidnap their 2 youngest kiddos so that we can bring them along with our family outing hahaha...
We left from our place at 9-ish in the morning and arrived at our destination at 10.30am. Because it was still CNY holiday, there are lots of parking space available and very little crowd as well. Staff waited at the reception and greeted us with a warm welcome. We were ushered to the counter to purchase our family package tickets (RM109 for 2 adults and 2 children below 12 years old, free 2 pony ride for children)
Once we put on our sticker tag onto our wrists, we headed into the farm. Pictures below are some of the snapshots taken during our outing. Feeding giant tortoise, rabbits, guinea pigs, catching fishes, holding baby chicks, standing on ostrich egg, feeding birds, goats, fishes and many more, this place is fun! All 5 kiddos are excited and happily enjoying themselves!
Our nephew told hubby that he can stay on until 6pm (that's when the farm closes) but 2 adults with 5 kiddos, we can only managed to hang around the farm until almost 5pm. We were very tired and ran out of water supply LOL, left the farm happily and very satisfied and capped off the outing with a small tea break McDonalds treat.
Some proud mummy moments during the outing were:
-
Our 3 kiddos braving themselves to touch and feed some farm animals (tortoises, monkeys, birds, goats, baby chicks)
-
Watching our kiddos catching small fishes at the drains near the rabbits and guinea pigs petting area. They were so happy when they caught the fishes (which were released back unharm after that)
To sum up our review on Farm in the City (FITC):
