Most mums buy toys. Some mums take their kids to Disneyland. But this mum? She built a theme park in the city for her children. And not just any theme park, either — an educational one that grows alongside them.

NEXTGEN Theme Park is a comprehensive and innovative one-stop cross-generational edutainment park. It is Malaysia’s largest indoor edutainment theme park, spanning 45,000 sq ft of play space. It features five experiential zones - Entertainment, Enrichment, Experience, Engagement, and Empowerment.

We speak to founder and Mumpreneur Lillian Chan.
