Danga Bay






The children love to go to Danga Bay everytime we went back to my 'kampung' in JB. Danga Bay is this new recreation/family activity/retail/amusement/entertainment center/ development project set by the sea side of Selat Johor. It gets its name from the nearby Sungai Danga. In the old days, people living at Sungai Danga will the main town of JB by sampans. They landed at the nearest beach of Pantai Lido. I don't know nowadays whether they still do that or they can travel by road to get to town now.
The children love to get on the tram which will go through Danga Bay from end to the other end. Once, we went to see the Royal London Circus there but now the circus have moved somewhere. There's alot of things on sale at bazaar or at the airconditioned retail center. There is even replicas of Rumah Limas which the traditional house for Johor Malays.
Usually, the children will get the stuck at amusement center and the parents will get poorer by at least a few ringgits. It will normally be quite during the day so usually we went after lunch or after dinner. It is a nice place to bring your place , a new way to enjoy the beach side. So, do come and visit the next time you are in JB!
