Planning a family getaway during the school holidays can be a fun and exciting way to bond. With the Singapore school holidays in 2025 bringing several breaks, it’s the perfect opportunity to explore nearby destinations, and Johor Bahru (JB) in Malaysia is a fantastic choice. Known for its vibrant culture, theme parks, shopping malls, and delicious food, JB is just a short trip away, making it an easy and convenient holiday destination. And to make your trip as seamless as possible, consider taking a Singapore to Malaysia taxi for a comfortable journey.

Between Terms I & II: March 15th – 23rd

The first term break from March 15th to March 23rd provides families with the perfect opportunity to take a short holiday. With its close proximity to Singapore, Johor Bahru is an ideal destination for a quick getaway. Families can explore JB’s many family-friendly attractions, such as the Angry Birds Activity Park, the Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque, or take a stroll through the lush parks and gardens. For those looking for relaxation, JB’s spas and resorts offer a peaceful retreat.

Between Semesters I & II: May 31st – June 29th

The long mid-year break, from May 31st to June 29th, gives families ample time to plan a longer holiday. Johor Bahru, with its proximity to Singapore, makes for an excellent choice for a weekend or even week-long holiday. Families can visit attractions like the Johor Zoo, explore the beautiful Danga Bay, or take a walk along the waterfront at Puteri Harbour. For those who love shopping, JB’s malls offer great deals and products that are hard to find in Singapore.

Youth Day Holiday: July 7th

Youth Day is celebrated on July 6th, 2025, but schools will observe it on July 7th (Monday), providing a long weekend for families to enjoy. Although it’s a shorter break, it’s the perfect opportunity for a quick getaway. Many families use this time to head to Johor Bahru for a fun-filled trip.

Between Terms III & IV: September 6th – September 14th

The break between Terms III and IV, from September 6th to September 14th, is a much-needed pause before the final stretch of the school year. This short but valuable break is the perfect time for a quick getaway, and Johor Bahru (JB) makes for an ideal destination.

For families looking for excitement, Legoland Malaysia Resort is a fantastic option, offering thrilling rides and interactive exhibits. If a more relaxed trip is preferred, consider a visit to Danga Bay, where you can enjoy a scenic evening by the waterfront or explore its lively entertainment spots.

Children’s Day Holiday: October 3rd

Children’s Day on October 3rd, 2025, is a special day dedicated to celebrating kids, and what better way to make it memorable than with a fun-filled trip to JB?

JB offers a variety of family-friendly attractions that kids will absolutely love. Spend the day at Austin Heights Water & Adventure Park, where they can enjoy exhilarating water slides and adventure courses. For a more interactive experience, Fanpekka at AEON Tebrau City provides an imaginative indoor playground inspired by Finnish fairytales.

At The End Of The School Year: November 29th – December 31st

The year-end school holidays, from November 29th to December 31st, mark the longest break of the year, offering families the perfect chance to unwind after a busy school term. Whether you’re planning a short weekend getaway or a longer vacation, Johor Bahru is an excellent choice with something for everyone.

For thrill-seekers, Legoland Malaysia and Desaru Coast Adventure Waterpark promise endless fun. Those looking for a relaxing retreat can book a stay at Anantara Desaru Coast Resort or Hard Rock Hotel Desaru, enjoying beachside relaxation and family-friendly amenities. Shoppers can take advantage of year-end sales at Paradigm Mall JB or KSL City Mall, while food lovers can explore JB’s vibrant café scene and hawker delights.

Conclusion

With multiple school holidays throughout 2025, families in Singapore have plenty of opportunities to explore and unwind. Johor Bahru, located just a short distance away, offers a range of attractions and experiences suitable for all ages. From theme parks like Legoland to shopping malls, delicious food, and cultural experiences, JB is the perfect destination for a family holiday.

Booked the private car on 15 December 2024 from JB to SG. Our driver Chor (she) was very friendly and accommodating to my last minute request. While I was alone back to my home after dropping of my friends, we have a great chat along the way. Last but not least she is on time which is amazing! 😊

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our driver (William) during our trip from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur. From the start, he was extremely punctual, arriving exactly on time to pick us up. Throughout the journey, he was incredibly friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. The car was clean, spacious, and well-maintained, providing us with a smooth and enjoyable ride. He even went above and beyond by giving us helpful tips on navigating Kuala Lumpur, including recommendations for must-visit spots and local eateries. We really appreciated how accommodating he was, making sure that all our needs were met along the way. His professionalism, kindness, and local knowledge truly made the trip memorable. He even went above and beyond in returning a luggage that isn’t ours back to the hotel in Singapore. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a reliable and pleasant travel experience!
