Tractors: Tractorland!

When we heard Tractors Malaysia was having a Caterpillar Exhibition — the Construction & Infrastructure Equipment Exhibition (CIEX) 2012 — that was opened to the public, including kids, it was like a dream come through.

Forget Legoland or Universal Studios. Tractorland rocks!

The place was thankfully quiet on a weekday. The kiddos got to get real up close with real-life gigantic excavators, bulldozers and trucks with tyres taller than them. They got to trek a muddy construction site, climb aboard and work an excavator, spinning it round and round. They also got behind many large machines and tooted the loud horns.




 Our friendly tour guide, Eddy Oh, took us on a personal tour of the various CAT exhibits.
A mammoth off-highway truck

An excavator simulator (it wasn't working then, but the kiddos got to sit in it)
 
A CAT engine for boats

A special ride on the Land Rover


Thank you Tractors Malaysia for a fun-filled experience. Looking forward to CIEX 2013 (I hear plans are in the works for a special sand play area for kids!)

Who needs elephants?
