Berjaya Times Square Theme Park, located inside Berjaya Times Square Shopping Mall in the heart of the city, was described as "a great destination for families planning a stay in Kuala Lumpur".
The indoor roller coaster which loops and turns inside the mall was listed as its star attraction.
The article also highlighted the mall's strategic location to numerous hotels and shopping malls in Bukit Bintang.
As for KidZania, an educational theme park for youngsters located at the Curve NX building in Mutiara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, Hogan advised visiters to enjoy it on a weekday to avoid the crowd on weekends.
Another theme park in Selangor featured in the article was Sunway Lagoon.
"Adrenaline junkies will love the Extreme Park and scare-seekers can test their courage at the Scream Park.
"For water lovers, there's the world's largest man-made surf beach and the world's largest water ride: the Vuvuzela," Hogan wrote.
