Mouse Mommy Treats: theme park

Mouse mommy and family were celebrating The World Animal Day at Sunway Lagoon, Malaysia!

The World Animal Day is an international day celebrated every 4th of October with a mission to raise the status of animals in order to improve welfare standards around the globe. This annual celebration which dates back to 1925 unites the international animal welfare movement, mobilising it into a global force to make the world a better place for all animals.

To coincide with the special day, Sunway Lagoon’s Wildlife Park – an interactive and educational zoo featuring more than 140 species-specific exhibits of exotic animals and a diverse range of birds, fish, reptiles and mammals from around the world – held a special campaign to urge you to do your part to create a more sustainable world.

Many species of wildlife can be found here. Family and kids will get to know more about animals by seeing real life animal here and information board sharing more about the animals.

In recent years, the Wildlife Park at Sunway Lagoon has stepped up efforts towards being more sustainable.

Among these, Sunway Lagoon announced its support towards two of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) set by the United Nations.

The SDG programme contains a total of 17 goals which the United Nations aims to achieve by the year 2030. It is a universal call to action, in a bid to end poverty, protect the planet and to ensure that all people can enjoy the diverse richness which Mother Nature exudes.

Out of the 17 goals, Sunway Lagoon’s Wildlife Park has, without equivocation, committed towards supporting two of these goals. These include Responsible Consumption and Production (Goal #12), aimed at ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns and Life on Land (Goal #15), which aims to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.

“For World Animal Day this year, we wanted to create an experience where people of all ages can enjoy the Wildlife Park, while learning more about how they can play a role in protecting our environment. All this ties in with our commitment to be more responsible and sustainable, yet presenting a unique and exciting opportunity for the public to enjoy, especially the younger ones, because they are the future of our planet, and will take on the baton towards environmental conservation,” said Sean Choo, General Manager of Sunway Lagoon.

Be an Earth warrior and make a difference for a more sustainable world. Mouse mommy and kids MR MH are in the Sun Bear team and learn about the food, habitat and enrichment activities that related to Sun Bear routine life!

Do you know Sun Bear also called Honey Bear? Because Sun Bear is a honey-lover! Ehhhmmm…. Mouse mommy and kids MR MH love honey drink too! High-five with Honey Bear!

Enrichment program for animal is basically create scenario that Sun Bear need to find ways to eat the given food. Some activities for the animals to explore by themselves. Animal enrichment is very important to zoo animals.

Animal enrichments is meant to improve the animal’s environments and care based on their natural behaviours and instincts.

Environmental enrichments can help lower an animal’s aggression and abnormal behaviour.

The World Animal Day celebrations at Sunway Lagoon’s Wildlife Park also took on an exciting yet heartwarming turn this year, when the park announced its latest project of adopting a few river terrapins from Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia as a support towards the conservation works for these freshwater turtle in the country.

“The aim of the society is to bring about the recovery of depleted wild populations of turtles, with particular reference to freshwater turtles. With the same goal in mind, we are extremely honoured to have the opportunity to work with Sunway Lagoon on this project,” said Dr Chen Pelf Nyok, co-founder of Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia.

Paradoxically, Sunway Lagoon will also be constructing a pygmy goat enclosure at Pet Village that is made out of Ecobricks. The theme park targets to produce approximately 1000 Ecobricks, made using mineral water bottles collected from the recycle bins in the park. Each Ecobrick contains about 200g of non-recyclable plastic waste. With that amount of Ecobricks, the project aims to save approximately 200kg of non-recyclable plastics trash from the landfill. The theme park aims to construct and launch the enclosure by World Earth Day next year.

Guests were specially invited to Sunway Lagoon Wildlife Park’s World Animal Day event to enjoy a host of activities and initiatives specially curated to mark this meaningful celebration.

These included an Ecobrick making workshop, a take home garden workshop, meet & greet with Bani the Wildlife Park ambassador, a display by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN), and Save the Earth Pledge wall, where visitors can mark their pledge towards reducing single-use plastics.

After that, MR and MH are happily joining the water splashing fun at Nickelodeon water park at Sunway Lagoon to have fun!

Active lifestyle is important to keep us stay healthy body and alert mindset. Being active living is a way of life that integrates physical activity into our everyday routines such as walking, running, zumba, yoga and so on.

Combination of physical activity and recreation activities are able to encourage a healthier lifestyle. It goes to MR and MH too, mouse mommy has 2 active boys that always find something to do. In this era, digital gadget is a norm. There is always an argument whether we should allow our kids to play gadget?

Computing is unable to avoid in our society now. Kids have to expose, explore and know how to function it. At the same time, physical fitness is so important to keep them alert and overall wellness too!

Do you allow your children to play physically? Yes, mouse mommy does allow MR and MH to join indoor and outdoor play. And mouse mommy will join the fun physical activities together too.

As for outdoor activities, we love to join family fun run together. That is one of the exciting physical activities that we love - run, sweat, detox, chat, bonding, explore, experience and relaxation. This is the time that we can run together.

Sometimes, MR will complaint of no energy in the middle of the run. Then, mouse mommy and MH will encourage and ganbatte for bro MR to keep going. No one will left behind but moving forward together.

Same goes to any obstacles that we might be facing, as long as we are keep going and solve it, there will be a solution / result at the end of it. Victory is awaits at the ending point always.

Sometimes, mouse mommy is too tired in the middle of the run. MR is so sweet to pluck flowers by the roadside and gifted to mouse mommy with a big hug and energy kiss on my cheek. OK let’s go! Mouse mommy can continue join the family fun run!

The kids also get to learn and know the environment surrounded us.

Through our running experience, we got the opportunity to explore different place, plants, animals and habitat at hills, animal farm, vege farm, KL city, mangrove and river. That is our real life experience!

As for indoor activities, we love to join KidZania indoor activities. Spend a day in KidZania can really make us sleep well once reached home.

There are many activities that required the kids to “hands-on” and “Do-It-Yourself (DIY)” by themselves, such as KidZania Cash and Valuables Transport as banking security service that required MR to courier the delivery items to the respective departments or stores.

Mouse mommy always believes that our children can perform if we give them a task and opportunity. Let the kids take up the responsibility to learn how, what to do and get the job done. If they did the job well, give them appraise. If not, no worries, we can do post-mortem together to see anything goes wrong. Let’s discuss and get a solution!

There are many role-play and job responsibilities at KidZania Kuala Lumpur to let our kids to explore, experiment and experience.

There will be never the same experience every time that we visited to KidZania!

Besides that, KidZania always conduct interesting sport activities for the kids such as blind football, archery, table tennis and so on. Be Active, Be Healthy, Be Kids!
