Planning a trip to Johor Bahru, Malaysia with the kids? Here are all the best things to do in JB, from visiting Austin Heights Adventure Park and dog cafes in Mount Austin to the best family JB hotels, and tips for the journey from Singapore to JB

There are so many fun things to do in Johor Bahru (JB) with kids that it’s no wonder so many families head here for the school holidays or for a long weekend! Plus the ease of getting to JB from Singapore (if you time it right!) feels almost like a staycation. Add in the enticing exchange rate and amazing food scene and you’ll want to make getaways to JB a regular thing. But toss a baby into the equation, and suddenly, what should be a breeze can feel like a puzzle. Think extra baggage, fretting over potential diaper dilemmas at customs (or worse, in the middle of a traffic jam!), not to mention battling the heat and all its associated irritations.
