Are you too bored during weekend or school holiday? Desired to have some outdoor activities or maybe enjoy natural clean fresh air? Here is the Malaysia Agriculture Park believed can fulfill your desire.
Malaysia Agriculture Park located in Shah Alam. It is Malaysia’s first agriculture park and opened to the public in 1986. The 1,295 hectare of Tropical Rain Forest and Agriculture Park are believed one of the largest in the world. Most of the visitors come here for cycling or maybe to have some Skytrex high elements or even a flying-fox adventurous.
You maybe don’t know that there are bicycles available for rent and a free bus ride provided to ferry visitors inside the park.
While waiting for the shuttle bus, visitor can enjoy the nice album.
Due to overwhelming cycling activities in the park, we decided depart early from KL City. Spend 35 minutes on the road and finally arrived. Well, a clear and sunny sky turning into dark and cloudy sky and at last, heavy rain. We have no choice wait inside the car and pray for the rain stop. Another 20 minutes pass by and finally our pray apparitions.
Rain has stopped and allow us disembark from the vehicle. We then proceed to the Park HQ and purchase entrance ticket.
There are two (2) main trunk in the park, towards to the North (3.5KM) and also West (3KM). After chosen our bicycle and prepare for our journey, another heavy down pour. Again we wait for the rain stop. When the rain turning into drizzle. We start our journey to the west side. A tar surface track, up and down hill, plus a 26 speeds mountain bike, make the journey as easy as 123. But safety always first, I don’t want to fall from bicycle again 
What to see inside the park?

Fish Feeding at “New River Dam”
By taking the free shutter bus from Park HQ or cycling, heading towards to the North side and ended at the Dam. Fish pond is build beside the lake. Visitors can have a close look at the fish and fish feeding. Very strange that the fish anti-clock nonstop swimming, it will stop once people get closes to it.

Hi Simon
Planning to bring my kids there. The problem is they do not know how to ride a bicycle!
Qs are
1) Is there other mode of travelling beside cycling?
2) If not, does the bicycle for kids have 2 extra wheels?
3) Can we adults take the kids on our bicycles as back passenger?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Shereen,
To reply your questions:-
1. Yes, there is. A free shuttle bus was provided inside the park. You may board the shuttle bus at Park HQ.
2. No 2 extra wheels bicycle what I can see inside the park. However, limited normal 2 wheels kids bicycle available for hire.
3. Yes, you can. Limited mountain bike equipped with back seat. However, it can’t fit in 5 years old and above kid.
Fyi, riding bicycle inside the park is tiring due to the distance and up/down slope.
Highly recommended Parent’s with kids, elders and physically not fit board the shuttle bus.
