Want something more than just dinosaurs for your children? Never mind, you can opt for the kids-friendly companions with which they can hang out- TEDDY! Meet them at the annual event “Teddy & Friends Day Out” at Suria KLCC during the period from 24th until 30th May 2013.
To those who have not been to this event before, it’s actually the time for your children to bring along their teddy. There will also be other assorted exciting activities which are going to ensure them to have a blastful day with the other children.

What does prehistoric life always remind you of? Raging dinosaurs with sharp clenching teeth, giant mosquitoes, or man-eating plants? Bring your children along to visit “The Ice Age Experience”, which will bring you to transcend the barrier of time and back to the historical Ice Age- in both educational and entertaining way.
It’s noteworthy to mention that the history of Ice Age will educate the audience about values and elements like conservation, preservation, migration, extinction and survival.
