Johor Bahru & nearby: Cheap things to do with Kids Part 3

- Batu Pahat

- Yong Peng

To save money, we have been taking short family trips to Johor, which has many treasures to discover and appreciate. It is easy to find places to visit via blogs, TripAdvisor and Google Maps.

For Batu Pahat and Yong Peng, we chose to make day trips as we were based in Kluang.

Although we couldn’t finish visiting all the interesting sights in these two towns, I hope this will give you a better idea of what you can do in Batu Pahat and Yong Peng.

What To Do In Batu Pahat

Batu Pahat is about a 2 plus hour drive from Singapore. It is a 40 minute drive from either the Ayer Hitam exit (same exit as Kluang) or Yong Peng exit at the North South highway.

You could stay at Batu Pahat for a couple of nights and enjoy the sights in this town. There are:

Parks (Taman Rekreasi Tasik Y, DIY Playground)
Temples (Chong Long Gong temple)
Lover’s Bridge
Pantai Minyak Beku

Traffic can get heavy sometimes especially during peak hours as Batu Pahat is quite a big town.

What To Do In Yong Peng

Yong Peng is super near the North South Highway.

Although it is a common rest stop for buses, Yong Peng has other attractions worth visiting.

For example, you can check out:

Apps we used to get from Singapore to Johor Bahru, and then to Batu Pahat and Yong Peng:

1. Booking.com — for Kluang Merdeka Hotel (Kluang was our base to travel to the other towns)

2. Checkpoint.sg and Beat the Jam! — to monitor traffic on the Causeway and Second Link

3. Google maps — to search for places of interest, save the best ones and navigate the roads in Johor

4. Qoo10 — to buy a Malaysian international SIM card

Things to pack
