If you want an aesthetic, highly comfortable, and moderately priced self-care day alone or with a partner, Lay. Retreat delivers superb value. Just be sure to book well in advance for weekends, as slots fill up quickly.

I had a very stiff neck and shoulder. maseusse was original thai and had her way of treating the core of pain. need 90 mins to sort out the stiffness with whole body calm massage. she was good. 8/10 of the pain went away.

The shop is easy to find. The staff and instructor were very friendly and helpful. This was my first time learning pottery, and the process was so much fun. Especially that moment when you see the shape of your bowl or cup forming - it feels like watching your newborn baby take shape. LOL.
I’ll definitely come back again. The only thing is the class cost is a bit on the high side 😂

staffs were friendly, esp they did brief to us on how to tuft before we start. store was clean and organised as equipments are ready before we were even there. They also provided free phone tripods to use. Love everything about tufting.

Overall, it was a great experience bringing my family there. We originally booked for 1 May, but when we arrived, the shop was closed due to the public holiday. Apparently, there was a technical glitch in the booking system.
That said, the Klook team was very efficient and responsive. They immediately arranged another session for the following day, and the café even offered complimentary pastries for my family, which were delicious.
We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the experience. We’ll definitely be back to try the keyboard-making keychain activity next time. Can’t wait!
I’ve been using Klook for several years now, and they’ve always been reliable and efficient
experience: amazing
safety: very safe
equipment: the brushes might need to be cleaned properly before using

We had a great staycation at M World PJ. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfy. The room service was great. We ordered hot chocolate at almost midnite and it was so good! We were spoilt with so many delicious options at the breakfast buffet. Highly recommended and we will come again soon!

Quick facts about Petaling Jaya
General info
What to know before visiting Petaling Jaya
What to do in Petaling Jaya
Petaling Jaya is best known for family-friendly attractions led by Theme parks, followed by Zoos & aquariums, Playgrounds, Cultural experiences and Outdoor & sports activities. Klook booking data shows demand rises and falls through the year, with clear summer peaks in March–July and very quiet pockets in November–December. If you favour lively weekends and big attractions, aim for the peak season; if you prefer smaller crowds at outdoor and cultural spots, plan for the quieter months. Decide whether you want peak-season atmosphere or quieter sightseeing — Klook booking data helps time that choice.
When to visit and price rhythm
Klook booking data shows peak visitor demand in July and strong peaks across March–July, while November is the quietest month. Prices follow a similar peak in July: the priciest month is July and the cheapest is January, so July delivers both the highest demand and the highest typical prices. For lower prices and smaller crowds, choose January or the quieter late-year months; for festival-like energy and full attraction schedules, travel in March–July. Choose lower cost and smaller crowds or peak-season buzz — Klook booking data guides the trade-off.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Very quiet | AUD 25 |
| February | Quieter than usual | AUD 27 |
| March | Peak demand | AUD 25 |
| April | Peak demand | AUD 25 |
| May | Busier than usual | AUD 43 |
| June | Peak demand | AUD 25 |
| July | Peak demand | AUD 240 |
| August | About average | AUD 59 |
| September | Quieter than usual | AUD 59 |
| October | Very quiet | AUD 59 |
| November | Very quiet | AUD 59 |
| December | Very quiet | AUD 59 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers tend to book with flexibility — on average around 1 day ahead, with the earliest planners booking roughly 2 days out — so many experiences remain bookable at short notice. That said, during the March–July peak window it pays to secure popular experiences earlier. Use Klook to compare typical prices and see real past booking patterns; being ready to book a few days in advance gets you choice without over-planning. Book a little earlier for peak months, stay flexible the rest of the year — all figures from Klook booking data.
