If you are planning a tranquil family outing during your holiday, visiting Taman Perbandaran Tengku Anis is one of the top things to do near Hotel Salaam Suites. Nestled in the peaceful Tanjung Chat neighborhood of Kota Bharu, Kelantan, this lush 21-acre municipal park offers a serene green escape from urban life. Named in honor of the respected Tengku Anis of Kelantan, the park provides a welcoming, family-focused environment perfect for relaxing, walking, and enjoying nature together during your halal-friendly stay.
Highlights & Family-Friendly Attractions
The park boasts well-maintained recreational areas designed for visitors of all ages. One of the major highlights for children is Taman Rusa (the deer park), a dedicated enclosure where young ones can observe gentle deer up close. Surrounding the animal area are expansive lawns, traditional Kelantanese wooden gazebos, and vibrant floral gardens that make stunning backdrops for photos. For active family members, smooth jogging and walking tracks wind through towering tropical trees, ensuring plenty of shade even during warmer daytime hours. Children will also love the massive outdoor playground equipped with slides, swings, and climbing frames. Quiet reflection ponds and open green fields offer ample space to lay down a mat, enjoy packed halal treats, and unwind in a peaceful, family-conscious atmosphere.

Located just a short 5 to 10-minute drive (less than 3 km) from our Muslim-friendly hotel Kota Bharu, getting to the park is effortless via taxi or ride-sharing service. Admission is completely free, and the park is open daily from morning until early evening. To make the most of your visit:
