If you’re a mummy like me and want to maximise the September school holidays for your little ones without overthinking it, here’s a simple go-to guide just for you! Honestly, kids don’t need anything fancy - they just want our time, a little adventure, and memories they can giggle about later. So, whether you’re after a big day out or a budget-friendly evening treat, here are some easy ideas to make the holidays count. Cake Piknik: Family Edition Image credit: @cakepiknik Get ready for a sugar-sprinkled adventure! On 14 September, the much-loved Cake Piknik goes family-friendly, turning into a playground of desserts, creativity, and community fun. Families can expect beautifully decorated cake displays, live baking showcases, and hands-on play stations where little ones can decorate cupcakes or cookies. Sunway Pyramid Fun: Gabby’s Dollhouse Adventure Calling all Gabby fans - this is your moment! From 11th to 28th September 2025, Sunway Pyramid turns into a Gabby’s Dollhouse wonderland! Kids can join themed play zones, collect stamps in activity passports, do crafts, and snap photos with adorable sets. It’s all indoors (yay, air-con!), easy for little ones, and perfect for mummies who want a fun, fuss-free outing this school holiday. Big Astro Home of Kids at Pavilion Bukit Jalil: Where Cartoons Come Alive If your kids can’t go a day without humming the Cocomelon song, giggling over Bluey, or shouting “BoBoiBoy!” at the TV, Big Astro Home of Kids at Pavilion Bukit Jalil is the event to mark on your calendar. From 12th to 15th September 2025, Pavilion Bukit Jalil transforms into a colourful, character-filled playground for children. Expect live stage shows, where familiar characters sing and dance while you watch your little one’s dream come true. Beyond the stage, there will be plenty of interactive booths where kids can play games, snap photos with mascots, and join mini-activities designed to spark creativity and fun. Kereta Api Sarong 2025: Ride the Train in Style Image credit: Visit Selangor 2025 On 13 September, Malaysia’s trains will be filled with colour, laughter, and plenty of sarongs! The Kereta Api Sarong event is back, and it’s all about celebrating unity through culture. Families are encouraged to dress in their favourite sarong, hop on the train, and join the fun as music, dance, and cultural activities unfold across 11 stations nationwide. The best part is it's a moving cultural festival where kids can see tradition come alive in a playful, hands-on way. From live performances to spontaneous sing-alongs, the vibe is cheerful and inclusive, making it a memorable outing for little ones and parents alike. Holiday Camps: Fun with a Purpose Image credit: The Red Rescue For something different, consider enrolling your child in a school holiday camp. This September, organisations like Red Rescue are running lifesaving and water safety camps in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor Bahru. It’s a chance for kids to gain confidence and pick up real-life skills while still having fun. Parent Tip: These camps often require advance registration, so book ahead to secure a spot. Mix and Match for Maximum Fun The best holiday plans are often a balance of big adventures and smaller, cosy outings. Try pairing one major trip, like your favourite staycation, with a cultural celebration. That way, the kids stay entertained, and you get to keep your budget in check. Wherever you go, don’t forget the snacks, water bottles, and, of course, your camera to capture those precious school holiday memories!
