Slide 1 of 30
We purchased the tour tickets in advance as it can get sold out quickly especially during the weekend and school holiday. The ticket can be purchased at their website. We gathered at the front of check in counter before the tour started. Security check was done and small backpack or food and drinks must be left at the lockers as it were not allowed. Then the officer in charge brought us to the Level 41, where the lower deck of suspension bridge connected with the twin towers. After spending around 10 minutes on the bridge, we were then moved to the Observation Deck which is located at Level 86. Here we can see the whole Kuala Lumpur with 360 degree view.
One of the most beautiful modern buildings that I have seen so far. The hype is worth it and it looks beautiful as during the day as it does in the evening. We marvelled at the structure from the outside and then we also took one of the tours inside, where we were taken to 2 different levels and we viewed the city from the top. It was one of the best experiences and the ticket fee was worth it.
A must to do!!! Iconic PETRONAS Twin Towers are the tallest twin towers in the world, and its status has remained unchallenged since 1996. Offering outstanding views over the KL. Purchase tickets in advance to secure your visit and escape the line. Evening is the best time to visit. Guided tour is around 45 min. Highly recommended!!!
I bought the tickets for the experience in advance and they cost around 20 dollars per person. The tour is guided and lasts around 45 mins, I would loved to be able to stay more in the observation deck, but I understand why it's that way to give everyone the chance to experience it as well
There is two main stops in the tour, the first one is the suspending bridge between the two towers, it is fascinating. If the weather is too sunny, the reflections of the sun rays could be a little annoying. The second stop is the observation deck which is located on the 86th floor at a whopping 370m above the ground, the views of the city were magnificent
The highlight of KL at night,which is why KL is also affectionately called the City of Lights. A wonder in its own right,one can only admire the sheer beauty and elegance of these twin towers as they light up from top to bottom. You cannot simply miss a photo opportunity be it under the towers or in the observation deck right at the pinnacle.
The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur are an absolute marvel. Standing tall and proud, they represent a symbolic and architectural wonder. The sheer grandeur and beauty of these towers make them a must-visit for anyone traveling to Malaysia. The view from the top is simply breathtaking, offering a captivating panoramic view of the bustling city below. Whether appreciating them from the ground or from their dizzying heights, the Petronas Towers are an unforgettable and iconic experience.
A must-visit destination in Kuala Lumpur is the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, renowned as the world's tallest twin buildings. These architectural marvels stand as a symbol of modern Malaysia's progress and innovation. The towers offer a breathtaking sight both during the day and especially in the evening when the water fountains near the building come alive with mesmerizing displays. Whether you're admiring them from the ground or experiencing the breathtaking views from the observation deck, a visit to the Petronas Twin Towers is an unforgettable experience.
It was the roof of the world for many years. Of course, although Dubai has taken this attribute from these towers, it is still a very valuable place here. Two high quality skyscrapers with all facilities in one of the best cities in the world. The Petronas Twin Towers can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. Existence of different shops with different global brands has increased the quality of this place more than before. Here we can mention the Malaysian signature. Even small sculptures of these two skyscrapers are sold in different parts of the city.
The materials used in these skyscrapers are also very special and different. The interesting thing is that although the skyscrapers are made of metal and glass, they are always clean. It seems that the workers of these skyscrapers is routinely cleaned 24 hours a day. During the twelve years of continuous travel to this city and visiting this great city, whenever I came to these two skyscrapers, I always admired them for these huge structures. amazing.
One of the most iconic places I have ever seen so far. You can see this place from all corners of Malaysia. One thing for sure, you won't keep your camera or phone inside the pocket until you move out of the place. That means to say, every corner of the building is mesmerizing. This place looks amazing in the morning and magically damn beautiful at time. On special occasions they change the color of the lights. Best time to visit??? Whenever you visit that's the best time. But I suggest visiting during night time
The PETRONAS Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, are an architectural marvel that captivate with their sheer grandeur. Standing at a staggering height of 452 meters, they exude elegance and sophistication. The towers boast a striking design, with sleek lines and a gleaming facade that reflects the surrounding skyline. Inside, visitors are treated to a world-class experience, with an impressive observation deck offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The PETRONAS Twin Towers are a symbol of Malaysia's modernity and are a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Kuala Lumpur.
The famous twin towers of KL. Definitely exciting to see from down below. Absolutely amazing views of the city from above in the sky deck and bridge sections.
Apart from that though, there isn’t a heap to talk about with the towers, other than the fact that they illuminate very well at night!
I had the chance to visit the Petronas Twin Towers in KL, and while the tickets were a bit pricey and required advance purchase, the experience was quite enjoyable. We timed it for sunset, which added to the beauty of the view. The cityscape from the bridge was stunning and offered a unique perspective.
However, a small downside was the staff's persistence in pushing us to buy a family picture they had taken. While it dampened the experience a bit, it didn't overshadow the overall positive impression.
In summary, the Petronas Twin Towers are definitely worth a visit, despite the ticket cost and the occasional push for purchasing extras. The view is incredible, especially during sunset, and it's an iconic landmark that provides a glimpse of Kuala Lumpur's charm.
It looks good at night. Ambience in front of the tower is good.
If you have been to the top of any tall tower in the world, you can safely skip going to the observation deck or the bridge connecting the two towers. There is nothing extraordinary even at night; you can save the hefty RM99 per person ticket charges.
You take three elevators to the top of this 88 story building standing at almost 1500 feet. There is a stop at the catwalk between the buildings. Spectacular views.
I had just a 15 minute wait at 10:30AM.
Highly recommend a visit to this iconic building with Muslim symbolism in it’s structure. It was designed by a Argentinian architect and completed in 1988.
Highly recommended.
Definitely worth visiting although if you want to visit the observation deck for views I think KL tower is better especially from the skydeck.
The main entrance provides great spot for photos.
A great place to visit and take in the views. The landscape is good to take in, especially from the 2 levels you get to explore. You are not overly crowded during the visit, with groups being made of about 20 people at a time. You get a good amount of time to explore the levels and take photos. A few facts given when you come off the elevator, but not a lot - would be nice to learn more whilst being shown around.
Highly recommended!
The night view at the Petronas Twin Towers was absolutely stunning! It’s hard to put into words how amazing it was. The towers lit up against the night sky created a magical and mesmerizing sight. I highly recommend visiting the Petronas Twin Towers at night to witness the breathtaking beauty for yourself. It’s a must see attraction in Kuala Lumpur!
We booked the tickets online and choose the best time. Sunset. The weather was cloudy that day but still manage to get a glimpse of the sunset.
You cannot bring any water bottle or small bags up. You need to store it in their facility.
You get 10 minutes at each section, so take many photos and use your time wisely .
The glass can be dirty at some spots, and it is very bright with the spotlight, so it will be hard to take photos at night .
We saw a family that was turned away as they came at the wrong time slot, so choose your timeslot and buy your tickets .
Outstanding structure. Still the most beautiful skyscraper amonst all top of the world. The best part of it is .. that a natural space is reserved at front of it. That has a lake, plants and trees.
At night dancing fountain show is also must watch thing.
While the mall inside isn't that interesting, honestly 😋
This place is crazy nice.
Next time I will visit inside. But also outside it was amazing!
Attention! It's very hard to get a taxi away from it. We walked to the next big crossing road to finally get one.
It's much better and b'ful to see from outside than to go inside to get the view around from the top. To get the best views of the city, go to KL tower(Menara KL) instead.
In the daytime, the twin towers look just like usual buildings, but the real beauty is at night when it glows.
It gets too crowded at night.
The ticket agent gave good directions to the towers, I visited from KL Sentral. Checking in was easy, all I needed to do was provide the QR code which was scanned. We had some briefing afterward, proceeded to level 41 and spent some time on the sky bridge for sight seeing and photos. I'll recommend the professional shoot on level 41, Fraiz did a good video editing; any tourist would love it.
All the company guides were professional and friendly. The elevator was very fast and I learned it's one of the fastest in the world at about 8 m/s. At level 86, we have a sort of 'history gallery' and can view the peak. There are also many souvenirs to get, which was cool.
Enjoy your tour.
Glad to visit this place. If you wanna see an amazing piece of engineering, must visit here. 88 storey and 450 meter height, will amaze you. The Petronas Twin Tower, Majestic by the day and dazzling in the night.

A MUST VISIT IN KUALALUMPUR !!!! Beautiful twin towers in KL city….🏙️The excursion is also beautiful, we entered by groups by timing, it was amazing crossing the bridge on the top. The only thing I didn’t like was the thing that we had to go always with the group and couldn’t start and finish at anytime we wanted. We enjoyed the visit and specifically the views.
After 6 years, I came back to this place by a positive surprise. The city and the area looks clean, modern, and overall they renovated the area in a nice way, with gardens, and fountains.
I loved the hall with the piano to enjoy and play for the people around.
I recommend coming to see it at night. It's incredibly beautiful.
There are many people who will offer to take photos for you. It costs 10 Malaysian Ringgit for one photo. They'll take several shots for you to choose from. Once you've made your decision, they'll immediately transfer the photo to you via iPhone's AirDrop. (Not sure what happens if you don't have an iPhone 🤔)
Petronas twin towers are iconic KL tourist place to visit.
Plan in advance and book tickets and get the timing to see the towers.
They arrange the visit in groups so please plan accordingly to that when you get there as they will group you only once you get there.
The place has instructions how to get to the visitor centre.
There is huge mall below so you might get lost in that.
If you want to enjoy the place plan to visit the tower the later half of the day so that you can see the illuminated tower at night and the fountain show planned.
There could be showers and that can delay the fountain show.
The tower it self is good place to see the wonders of KL cityscapes.
They stop at the 42 floor to view the connecting bridge between the towers.
They give 10-15 mins for pictures here.
They then take the group to 83 floor and change lift to 86 floor.
This is the observation deck and has a lot of details and good place to take pics.
They then get back to 83 floor which has a small cafe and gift shop.
It also has a small video show on the tower history.
The total cost for the tower tour is about 100-130 Malaysia ringgit.
Glad to visit this place I mean, how can you not give this five stars? You can read all the facts and figures from the other reviews, but just imagine standing in front of one of the most iconic buildings in the entire world. Taking pictures from the Sky Bridge. Going down to the bottom and seeing it all lit up at night, with the accompanying water show by the convention center lake? It may not be on your bucket list, but it is on many.
The process of getting tickets was effortless, and you definitely must do it online in advance! If you plan to visit any place in KL, I highly recommend going here. ;)
The tour is nice. They divide visitors into smaller groups based on time of arrival on the same slot. You are given enough time to have lovely pictures of KL. They take pictures for you at the entrance which you can buy for 150 RM. There is also storage for backpacks.
If in Kuala Lumpur, this is number one place to visit. It is really impressive from outside as well as from the top. View from 84th floor on KL is incredible. In the evening, after the sunset, lights illuminate the building giving different perspective. I recommend buying tickets in advance

Very nice park, love the way they design and manage space there. Good for taking kids there to have fun. Adult can enjoy walking around or donsome exercises. Lots of trees on top with very nice contrast view of surrounding sky scrapers.
Beautiful place and never fails to fascinate me since past many decades. Some shops are new and spotted more new brands coming up too. The atmosphere is good and worth taking a walk around the place. Evening water fountains with colourful lights is spectacular. Best place to take the pictures of the one of the tallest buildings in the world and it held that record for many years. KL is known for this place more than any others. Plenty of food options and staff is friendly.
The view is delightful, serene, and excellent. Numerous playgrounds are available for recreation, and the outdoor pool, particularly enjoyed by children, adds to the overall pleasant experience. Additionally, the jogging track is well-maintained and contributes to the broad appeal.
This is a very family friendly park with a lot of green trees and a little water fountain. There is a kids playground as well. This park is alongside the twin towers that is very charming to take family and friends photographs. It is a great place to hang out with family and friends for hours and even can arrange picnic. The park is completely free for the visitors.
People jogging every evening here. Many p we people just sitting and enjoy the scenery during afternoon till late evening too. Water fountain absolutely main attraction in intros area. With beautiful landscape and surrounded by greenery. Small recreation park for those wanted to do short and quick exercise after work. Another nice place to hang out and meeting friends too.
Small but lovely park on one side of the KLCC. There's a fountain, a wading pool (a favourite with kids), another pool with sculptures, a children's playground, all linked by a wide footpath.
You can have a great view of the twin towers and the connecting bridge, and an interesting view of the skyscrapers around.
There were a lot of people in KLCC when I was there on New Year's Eve, so it was really nice to step out into the sun and get some fresh air away from the crowd. It's a wonderful haven from the hustle and bustle, and I recommend it.
They do have a big playground area for kids. Water park water consider quite clean as for a public splash area. Good place to take nice photo. Lots of people come for jogging. The down side is the toilet nearby the splash area do not provide proper bath area…
Nice. Many variant and type of slides, hanging, and others for the kids to play with. Even got free pool for kids, not more than 1 meter deep. Lot of parking option to reach here. Only thing to consider is the area is out of wind as many trees, building blocking so its bit warm, no wind. The rest, nice. No food and drinks stall around so prepare your drinks.
Beautiful and huge Park just next to Suria KLCC. Good place to take a walk if you happen to come here. Have water fountain and water features for kid to play. May be quite hot during day time, but evening time will be great.
Lovely spot to chill and enjoy the dancing fountains beside the iconic petronas.
Visitors can sit beside the late and watch the show or have a walk around.
Best part that the place is having a lot of trees although it's a major part of a modern city.
Place is free to enter and open to all people.
It’s so beautiful 🤩 do visit this park and spend good amount of time when visiting twin tower !!

Great park, small but compact with 1.3km of rubber jogging tracks. It is a green lung for the city centre, fringing the KL Twin Towers and its shopping complex.
A must visit for if in KL, perfect for jogging whether morning, afternoon or night.
However it is dimly lighted at night but safe.
AA very nce for 2-4 hours of fun time with kids. They have many slides and swings. Also they have a pool area where kids can enjoy. A must visit place.

Great park for kids with ample play grounds and wading pools.
Fountain shows after 7.30 pm.
Beautiful park right in the middle of downtown. It's surprising peaceful once you are in it. Nice little lake with dancing fountains, a splash pad, playground and other activities available for kids. Lush green trees make it an unlikely respite from the concrete all around.
One of the best public parks to visit if you want a morning/evening walk, or just want to breathe fresh air. Make sure it's not a weekend or public holiday, it's very crowded these days.
The park is super clean and maintained. There's a pond with fountains too. I did not stay for long but I heard there's a light show every night. Just like a dancing fountain at Dubai Mall (but I am not sure). What I am sure is that usually those fountains are synced with music and it's lovely.
Make sure you are always walking on tracks and not on grass, it's not allowed.
Overall, a good picturesque spot with all public amenities.
It's a perfect picnic place. Do visit with your kiddo, they enjoy a lot. The place is very beautiful. Connected to Suria KLCC and Petronas Twin Tower. It's amazing in the night. Don't forget to attend musical fountain. The place is very picturesque in the night.
The park is a must visit day & especially at night! There are plenty of nice walks, with seating under cover, just in case it rains which it will do!
At night the fountains are light up & dance to music. The trees around the fountain are also light up & also produce a displace. You will enjoy your visit.
If you are visiting with children there is also a large play area:
A must visit place if you're in kuala lumpur. The park is very neat and clean, This place is having one of the best view of Petronas twin tower. We have visited the place in the evening a bit crowded but it's not spoiling the view. A water fountain show with the music and light is also there in evening time. KLCC Park is an adequate space with greenery to spend your evening.
Words cannot express the feelings when you visit this magnificent place and a landmark of Kuala Lumpur. It's huge and equally beautiful. The building itself is alive and becomes charismatic by evening with brilliant lighting and is topped up by a fountain show. It's a hypnotising place and you want to be here again and again.
For the first time brought my pup walk at the klcc park , he was so happy. A spacious park , green and fresh air ,, just the water didn’t well kept , too many dried leaves 🍂. made it looks dirty,,
Nestled beneath the renowned Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, KLCC Park offers a serene sanctuary within the bustling city. There are exquisitely constructed gardens and a symphonic lake in the park.People can unwind and read books on the benches around Fountain Lake. Kids will love this park because it has lots of open room for them to play in, including a tiny water park at one end. KLCC Park is a great area for gatherings with family and friends, as well as for joggers and photographers to find some peace and quiet in this urban haven.
It was Christmastime, and the mall's entryway had a massive, exquisitely decorated tree.
It’s really nice here. Plenty of shopping and eating to do. The park is well maintained and clean. Obviously great to visit the tower while you are here. I visited during lunar new year and it was crazy busy! The park is prettier at night with lots of light decorations.

Slide 1 of 24
We went just in time for sunset and it was quite a line at the ticket counter, which you can avoid if you get tickets online.
The Observation Deck is an enclosed space so we chose to go to the Observation Deck, higher up in open air. The view over Kuala Lumpur was magnificent, especially as the sun was going down. We also went to the Sky Box which is fun simply for the fact that it's a balcony with glass floor. Be advised you're only allowed 1 minute and 40 seconds in the Sky Box so make your photos count. And shoes have to come off.
RM30 just for being at the observation deck and not able to go to other floors. To me, I don't think it's worth the price. There are other cheaper options to get a 360 views of KL.
Plus, I was hoping that they could have a section on the floor where they put benches across a TV that plays a video explaining about the tower since there's no tour guide around. At least we get to leave the place with more knowledge instead of nice pictures only.
Enjoyed the view at KL Tower. Kids enjoy the breathtaking view at the observation deck. Special offer during Aug up to 66% discount.
It was raining so other areas were closed due to safety concern. Very hard to find parking though
A must-visit in KL, offering a hilarious city view perfect for striking great photos. Remember your tripod for the best shots. Optimal visiting time is around 5 to 6, allowing you to enjoy both the captivating day and night views.
I’ll say a good place to take family, graduation, and marriage pictures. The artificial grass design is quite a picturesque scene.
Otherwise, be ready to enjoy an extensive citywide view when you visit the top of the tower. Night views seem the best with coloured lights.
Hospitality is excellent.
It is also close to the KL Ecopark, where you can enjoy nature. A big park with robe walk, but beware of insects and mosquitoes. Facilities in the park are dysfunctional.
Not sure if it is worth the price to be honest.
The view is great but there are other ways to see it. It viewing deck area is full or tourist stalls and the constant photographers asking to take photos of you is very annoying. I did this with my lunch reservation at the restaurant.
Which if you must must see this tower. Then the restaurant is also an okay way to do this.....
I don’t think I would go back here again.
Admittedly though, given the state of the world right now it would be nice to be allowed to go anywhere right now.
Going to the top is very fascinating. I would like to advise others to get the brunch option at the 360 revolving restaurant which is one level high above the standard observatory tower. The advantage is that you will get the brunch along with 360 degree views, beautiful ambiance in a fractional price difference. I didn't know otherwise I would have taken this option for my whole family. The standard level is also great to be there and you can capture beautiful sky scrappers from the windows. Enjoy your time out there!!
Was recommended to go here instead of Petronas. The view is fantastic and I believe you can see very far on a bright day. There were no queue so we went right in. We had a pizza at the ground, which was a bit expensive but good tasting. We only went to the observation deck and regretted not taking the sky deck as well.
We visited during the day and wandered the grounds and ate at the little pizza place there (great value). We come back at night to go inside and do the 360° walk. The city at night is magical! I do think the price is high for what it is but definitely a beautiful sight to see.
Nice tower to visit and to see town from high. Recommend to buy tickets online will be cheaper and you can get offer to visit K.L aquarium aswell. I paid for both 98RM.
The same recommendation is to come in the morning, as queues will be small and you'll be able to do it quickly and enjoy time up without too many people around you.
Unfortunately, it started raining, so I couldn't do Sky Box, but they will give you new tickets, and you can come back once the weather is improved. I got 7 days to come back to use my sky box tickets.
A must-visit place in Kuala Lumpur is the KL Tower, where you can experience an amazing view of the city from the top. However, the experience depends on the weather conditions. I suggest opting for the Sky Box ticket, albeit a bit pricier, for a better experience. With the Sky Box ticket, you can spend 45 seconds in the box and unlimited time on the sky deck. Additionally, there are hotels available within the area.
It is a breathtaking view over Kuala Lumpur. You need to buy a ticket to go to observation deck. Before reaching the basement of the tower, one needs to walk hundreds of meters from the main entrance, aside from traversing several blocks from downtown area. This has historical and cultural significance in Malaysia so we really exerted an effortv to check the facts and figures ourselves, despite the sweat and brisk walking. There are food stalls from the main floor where the ticket booth is located. There are small shops selling souvenir items in the observation deck. There is a photo booth at the entrance. A must try when visiting KL.
Went to Sky box and Observation deck and it’s quite a nice view up there, especially Observation deck ‘coz it has 360-view of the city. Not for those who are afraid of heights, but definitely a must try. Tickets are sold on the spot, but can also buy via Klook or traveloka website (around 49RM for foreigner adults, 29RM for kids.
Recommend the lunch buffet! A great way to spend the afternoon with the beautiful skyline of KL and so many delicious foods to try. It was worth the additional charge beyond just going to observation deck. And lunch is less expensive than dinner. We had a hazy day, but still happy about our visit.
I took the observation deck tickets, and it was quite decent to see the skyline. Recommend going during evening time to see the transition from day to night. When I visited there was a waiting for sky deck and after sometime it was closed due to rain and winds.
Must visit tourist area of KL. Take a grab to reach here, it may seem near to KLCC in the map, but it's basically built in a small hill. There are 2 ticket counters, the self service or the normal people counter. Take the self service, it has lesser people. You can either go up to the open sky deck, the observation deck or tower walk. Best time to visit is during sunset and at night. I went to both the observation deck and sky deck. I think visiting only the sky deck is worth it as you have the open sky and you don't feel claustrophobic and less people come here. Also you have the glass sky box in the sky deck. However, you may have to wait. My tip: always visit the sky deck after the rain, because the sky deck closes during rain and opens only 30 mins after rain, so you may be able to be the first person in the deck! The observation deck is kind of crowded and the glass and rods don't let you get the perfect picture. Definitely sky deck for the best pictures. But all in all you get a beautiful view of KL. Incredible!
Visited KL Tower for the first time with family. It is a wonderful excursion for my little one.
Limited parking around the tower area, so understandably the parking fee is RM 12.00 during public holidays.
No covered walkway from the parking area, you will be exposed to sun or rain.
I enjoyed the breathtaking scenery of Kuala Lumpur from the tower.
There are other attractions around the area including aquariums at a chocolate shop, mini zoo and upside down building.
I recommend you to visit this once in a lifetime. I will come here again with other family members.
This is the best place in Kuala Lumpur to see panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains, for sure. I just gave it 4 stars because of the price- about $24 US per person for access to the upper deck and glass floored sky boxes.
We did not have to wait long for tickets, and lines for the elevators were fairly short, but once we got to the top deck, we had to wait almost an hour to get into the sky boxes for photos.
We really enjoyed the amazing views and got some great photos, and I would recommend considering this stop when you are visiting Kuala Lumpur.
The moment you approach KL Tower, its imposing stature is awe-inspiring. As one of the world's tallest towers, it commands an unrivaled view of the sprawling cityscape below. The journey to the observation deck is a swift ascent, courtesy of the high-speed elevators, which is an experience in itself.
For the more adventurous souls, the Sky Deck, which is higher than the regular observation deck, offers an even more thrilling experience. The glass-bottomed Sky Box extends out from the Sky Deck, allowing visitors to stand over a transparent floor high above the city – a memorable photo opportunity for anyone wishing to capture a unique memento of their visit. KL Tower is not just an architectural marvel but also a testament to Malaysia's cultural and technological advancements. It offers a unique combination of stunning views, cultural experiences, and entertainment options. Whether you're dining at the revolving restaurant or simply taking in the sights from the observation decks, a visit to KL Tower is a must when in Kuala Lumpur. It's an experience that leaves you with a profound appreciation of the city's beauty and ambition.
Magnificent views from the observation floor.
I purchased the ticket from Klook and the price was reasonable and friendly, not mentioned I could avoid the long queue at the ticket counter.
However, it’s quite hard to get there through public transport, grabbing caps seems to be the only option for tourists.
Great place to see KL skylines. Worth every penny. Better to go before sunset to see both day and night view 😎 Since it has open 360 degree observation deck so you won’t miss any view of KL city.
KL tower is definitely a building you should see if you go to Kuala Lumpur. By the way, I'm not just talking about seeing from outside from afar. You should definitely go up. When I went out, only the observation deck was open. There was a storm coming towards the city at that time, so the top floor was closed for security purposes. But it was a really nice experience to watch the clouds slowly swallowing the city from that height and observe the lightning. You can also plan your trips more easily after seeing the entire city from above in detail. If you like walking around the city, of course.
We visited the tower as part of an overall excursion, to make sure we did the Batu caves as well. Its not quite as iconic as Petronas but still offers some fantastic views. You can see Petronas from the observation deck, but only at an angle. It offers fantastic views all around and is well worth a visit. Tickets are probably to be booked in advance, it was fairly busy but minutes not hours to wait.
It all depends on weather. If you have a clear sky you will get an amazing view. There are three things that you can do at KL Manara:-
1) Sky Deck - Open place on top of the Tower(110 RM)
2) Sky Box - A glass box on top of the tower at sky deck, has a waiting and many people are waiting, so only buy ticket if you have time.
3) Sky walk - I personally didn’t like the Sky walk because it was very close to the ground. It would be more adventurous if it had more height to it.
5. KL Bird Park

(13773)
Animal park
Nature & Parks
Thousands of colourful birds in free-roaming areas, walk-through aviaries & traditional enclosures.
Slide 1 of 28
Great place to go with kids. Open air, like a walk through the jungle. But the birds will walk besides you and aren't afraid of people. Not too crowded, even on weekends. Ticket price is very reasonable for the experience too. Friendly staff there who are happy to talk about birds. Even on a hot day, there's plenty of shade. Tempted to just come here one day with a laptop and just hang around.
The park costs RM35 for Malaysian adults. They have interesting species of birds and some of them are free roaming like the peacocks, which was nice. You can get quite up close and personal with some of the birds that are not caged. You can also pay to feed them, which makes for an interesting experience.
The park is quite big, but we didn’t see a huge variety of birds. There’s a huge waterfall aviary which was quite beautiful but it was underwhelming as there were not many birds there.
If you would like to check out a variety of feeding sessions and also the bird show, plan your time accordingly. The daily schedule is on the website. Parking is also limited but you can opt for the multi level carpark which is a 10 min walk away. Expect to spend around 2-3 hours in the park, depending on how much you love birds.
Good place to get to know better of the birds. Most of the birds are roaming free and friendly, just make sure you not being too friendly or hostile to them.
You could easily spend 3 to 4 hours so make sure you are prepared. They have bird show programmed at 12.30 PM and 3.00 PM.
Bring along camera as you may encounter candid moment, and some 50 cent coins if you want to buy some bird/fish pallet from the vending machines.
The park also provides accessibility for the disabled with wheelchair.
A good place for bird lovers. Kids will also enjoy seeing different varieties of birds. They conduct bird show & have Photo Booth too. There is a bird school & education station for kids to learn more about birds. 👍 must visit place for parents who think their child should utilise his/her weekend usefully.
Went there at 3pm and left at 4:30pm on a weekday. You can feed fish there and there were many things to do. You can pay RM2 for a cup of bird milk (to feed them) and there were many birds. There were baby chicks in some rooms and there was some taxidermy birds too. We saw a snake and a monkey around the park and there was also a planetarium and butterfly park nearby. Recommended for families and if you plan to bring kids, PLEASE make sure they aren’t loud or noisy, some kids scared the birds away. It is a good educational trip for families. Make sure to bring drinks though, it was tiring.
One of the best parks as most birds are free to fly around. The eagles were inside a very large enclosure, so yes, its one of the things that made me love this park. The birds were lively, happy and in good health. They are fed mostly everyday. Most amazing sights were the owls. Such cute creatures
It's a lovely bird park in the middle of the city. We reached early in the morning at about 9.15. There is a reasonable entry fee. They have different birds and feeding shows throughout the day. They have four zones. The bird feeding shows are zone wise. Most birds can be seen in their natural habitat. Good varieties of birds. They have a cafe inside, there is a nice restaurant with a view overlooking the bird park called on Bill restaurant. They also have a snacks corner. No food items are allowed in the bag inside. They have a nice bird show with Macau. There is a small children play area but it's not immaculately maintained. The restaurant serves decent food. We left around lunchtime. There is a botanical garden at walking distance.
If you want to just kick back and have an easy afternoon by yourself or with your family in KL I suggest that you visit the KL Bird park. There are lots of peacocks, flamingos, and other types of birds there to view with a great background of the tall skyscrapers of KL. Lots of good photo opportunities. There is also a nice restaurant and a small snack bar to pick up something to eat and drink while wondering the grounds. Hope you like it
Perfect destination to enjoy your day with nature and spectacular birds in the city centre. It's really grateful to see the way they maintain the flora and fauna including the waterfalls. The birds are very friendly and enjoy giving poses for our photograph shoot. The zones are clearly defined to plan our journey and preferences. The facilities inside the park are in good condition including the public toilets.
No line for tickets on a weekend but we came early. Avoided the crowd by avoiding bird feeding times, but generally not too bad.
The paths were a bit steep at areas and slightly slippery because it was after the rain. They had closed one of the paths that was stroller friendly and we had to carry the stroller up the stairs as there were no alternatives if we didn’t want to turn back. I think this was an oversight as the other areas of the park were fine and it was otherwise quite pleasant to walk around.
Birds looked healthy and well cared for, and there were a large variety of beautiful birds that were easily spotted. Wasn’t uncommon to see birds flying around and swooping nearby. Aviary was quite clean.
Overall a pleasant experience!
Lovely place to be. Beautiful birds and it’s a pleasure to see them closer especially the free ones. Enjoyed our time here.
Nice and clean, can maintain the birds a little more better!
Overall its a nice place to visit
Went to KL Bird Park to learn and practice some shooting of birds. It is a nice place with lots of different types of birds.
Although the bird's freedom are in restricted conditions, it is still nice and educational to pay a visit.
Hey, Malaysian senior citizens only pay RM15 for entrance for the whole day, so why not pay them a visit if you have the opportunity.
A wonderful destination for nature and bird enthusiasts, perfect for a family visit. Remember to bring your kids along to explore this enchanting spot. Given Malaysia's unpredictable weather, it's advisable to have an umbrella and raincoat handy.
I was very pleasantly surprised at how large and open this bird park was.
Many of the birds are free to wander around with the visitors, and some monkeys.
Over 3,000 local and foreign birds of some 200 different species.
A must-see in Malaysia!
The enclosure can get quite hot; bringing in water is recommended, or cash to buy water and ice cream.
Getting up and close to some stunning species.

1. Good vibes.
2. Friendly bird’s.
3. Since it’s not a summer time but it’s too hot.
4. Food and snacks are quite expensive inside the park.
5. Children’s play area is not maintained and still upgrade in progress, which is disappointed.
6. Need to improve the cleanliness. Yea it’s difficult but needs to take care because it’s a children’s loving zone.
7. Bird’s show is amazing.
One of kind experience you can watch the birds so close. Almost all birds are in open cage and you can walk inside along with them. I've never experienced anything like this. Bird show also very good but only for a couple of minutes. You can also witness birds feeding, if you reach on the specific timing.
Nice place to visit during weekdays! Weekends and holiday to many people!
Good environment, looks like management take good care about this park, birds waking around you, some of them come very much close and let you touch them(just in that case if you really calm and don’t shall at them, this part exactly not for the child). Can feed the fish at the fake mini lake.
I have to say I'm totally amazed by what the park got to offer. To be honest i was expecting it's just birds living in the cage but I was so wrong. This entire place is a cage itself and all the birds live freely within the ecosystem! You'll get all the birds appearing from no where, saying 'wild pidgey appears'. Many beautiful peacocks, and free bird show at 12.30pm and 3.30pm. Brought my parents here and we spent solid 3hours indulging in the bird heaven. Very walking friendly and well maintained. Kudos to all the staffs. Totally recommended!
Nice place to spend a few hours.
The kids will greatly enjoy this place.
The garden is well kept and the park is huge. You can easily spend 1-2 hours walking around this park.
They have wide selection of birds and the birds are healthy.
They have wash rooms and stalls selling snacks.
There are multiple resting area along the park
It was a very pleasant, exciting day for us to spend at KL Bird Park! Great place to heal in nature surrounded by thousands of birds, great place for education for children as well. The best part was the bird show! We totally enjoy it. We dined at Hornbill Restaurant & the food was delicious, friendly staff & quick service. There was a souvenir shop to bring home. Satisfied visit. Worth every penny.
Very nice bird park. Pleasant walk and beautifully organised. Most birds are living freely in a large net covering the area. They have nice bird show.. with Tommy the smart bird. The restaurant beside have good service and food was not bad.
Best for family for kids and pram.
We were in two minds about visiting the bird park due to some of the negative reviews. However, our son was keen to visit, so we spent the morning there.
Yes, it wasn't cheap for international visitors but we are on holiday & that is what we save for.
The park was a welcome cool retreat from the city as much of it is under huge trees. It had a great variety of birds that were well fed & looked in good health. There was a few moulting, but that is a natural process.
The bird show was a little bit of fun. It was about 15 minutes in duration & is held twice a day.
Agree with other reviews the park could do with some maintenance.
A lovely environment to wander through. We enjoyed the close proximity to some birds and the show was fun.
A little pricey but it's a good cause.
Our only criticism would be the amount of rubbish around the park but that's not for lack of bins, of which there are many and the taxidermy gallery is not worth it, as the exhibits are old and battered.
Otherwise, a great park.
Stunning place. Beautiful garden and more than 3000 birds. The nets are very high so most of the birds are like in their natural habitat. Only few are in big cages. You can see very exotic species!
If you buy the ticket 24 hours in advance will get 10% discount!
What an amazing place. The sound alone is incredible and that’s before you have even set sight on any of the hundreds of birds they have there. They all seem to be happy and well looked after and the place itself is beautiful to walk around . Cost was 85 ringgit Definitely would recommend to anyone !! Also good view of Merdeka 118
Amazing flight-free bird park! Brought my family here with kids.
The trails are well kept and clean. The q wasn’t long & fast. Bird watching is calming, relaxing and soothing the eyes. Kids love the experience too.
Tickets price is reasonable. The cafes are open for stopover for waffles, ice creams and chillax. Bins also around for small rubbish & cans.
Birds are friendly and non-threatening! They look well fed and taken care of. Good place to visit for a nice nature walk!
Have been here many times. Very well maintained bird park, even after all these years. Good fun for both adults & children. Takes about 2 hours plus to slowly explore the entire park. Do be careful not to walk into/onto any of the birds that are freely roaming about. Highly recommended!
We ate at the hornbill cafe before going in, seems a little overpriced for KL, but it was good to sit next to a fan on a hot day. There are several zones, though the peacocks seem to be in several. The large free-flying areas are impressive, though most of the unusual birds are in smaller enclosures. You can get pictures right next to pelicans and other birds. In the parrot walk-through you may get close to some parrots, plus you can pay extra for pictures with parrots. The Eagle feeding at 15.30 was a bit underwhelming, no commentary and a number of people drifted away before the end. At the end most of the audience was other birds that were there to be fed on the path next to the people. Saw the 16.30 show where some parrots did tricks and an Eagle flew around. The lady presenting did her best with a sparse audience. Didn't wait for the feeding at the waterfall. It filled some time while we waited for our flight.

Slide 1 of 19
Place for tourists mostly, so prices a bit inflated when comparing to other places, but must see anyways.
It is said that this is the longest food street in Asia. Here you can find a variety of Asian food.There are many exotic foods here that you can sit on the table and eat after choosing on the street!Of course, among the thousands of dishes, the only thing I chose was ice cream made with fresh coconut !!
Street food to check out while in KL. You can find anything from seafood, local cuisine to dessert.
Recommend to come before 7pm if you want to take photo, otherwise, the whole street packed with visitors
It was interesting to stroll around this area. Many stylish cafe and restaurants (different cuisines).
Funny night market but not clean
As a local, i find it slightly overpriced but oh well its a tourist spot afterall. Can find better food elsewhere. Nice vibe.
Evening time is the best time to visit here. Alot of seafood places to choose from. And the prices are not as cut throat as other tourist-y areas. Foods are delicious and fairly priced.
Long road about 500m filled with street food stalls and sit down restaurants. Lots of choice although i found there seemed to me a lot more sweet options as opposed to savoury (1 prefer savoury 🤦🏻♂️) it was so handy as was just round the corner form my hotel (citizen M) so came back twice in 2 days for snacks..
Ussually crowded and full of tourist but now lots of restaurant are still closd.During the day is a normal street.
Plenty of food choices with good vibes, walking distance from Pavilion Mall/Lot10. More for tourists but the food quality is good, though price may be slightly higher.
It’s definitely worth a visit when in KL!
Don’t be scared of the low profile, we also had very good food!
A nightlife street where You can find diverse East Asian foods, especially seafood such as lobster, frog, and fish, and the best tropical fresh fruits on this street.
Good place very busy after 5 p.m till 1 or 2 o'clock at night very noisy and dirty place all types of restaurants here but most of the restaurant is non halal so it's not good for Muslims people's and also here mice 🐭🐁 is too much everywhere so I don't eat here because of hygiene. So be careful if Anyone wants to eat here 😁😁😁
Fantastic location to taste fabulous Malaysian food and enjoy local hospitality.
A vibrant street filled with a variety of seafood eateries, fruit vendors and buskers. Place to go for durians and fresh whole coconuts
This is a great place to explore. Endless options for food on all sides of the street. Can be very busy but with so many options to choose from one should not have any issues finding some deliciousness!
So many things to do here and eat! Best time to visit is in the evening.
Nice place to visit for dinner.
A very very busy place I really like Jln Alor but over the years the price of foods has gone up due to the popularity.

Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Expansive aquarium offering 5,000 exhibits, a clear tunnel, feeding shows & shark cage dives.
Slide 1 of 31
Really cool underwater world! They have a very long tunnel, where you just walk underneath the fish! The feeding show is really impressive and fun to watch. There are so many fish, it's captivating. Total walk with stopping to read, take pictures and enjoy the shows takes about 90 minutes max. Perfect stop for a rainy day! Just remember that it closes at 7pm and last entry is st 6pm
Recommended for kids to learn and have fun! I suggest to go on weekdays. I went to Aquaria on Monday to avoid crowds, yet there are still numbers of people lined up, but not too crowded and I didn't have to wait much. Cute fishes, but I think quiet small? I expected more sections and more species honestly. But they do have one big tank and one walkaway with fishes swimming above your head. But yeah, not much. However I do enjoy my time there. Recommended for those who wanted to bring their kids here.
We visited the Aquaria on Sunday but was not much crowded. Hardly 10 minutes waiting time in the queue.
We really had a great time (around 1.5 hrs) exploring different species of the fish.
The best part was the water tunnel walk where the fishes were freely swimming above the head with some awesome jawdropping moments.
Worth a visit in Kuala Lampur, better to buy online tickets to enjoy the discounts and avoid the queue at the counter.
A small aquarium with spacious rooms to see under the water world. many kinds of fish but not that much and knowledge for helping this planet earth to protect the climate and pollution. Good leisure activity in free time. It is good for kids and adults who are still young at heart. P.S. the tunnel was very crowded, too many people to get in side.
Aquaria KLCC offers a fascinating aquatic experience, although it leans towards the pricey side for foreigners. The variety of exhibits provides a plethora of captivating sights, with particular highlights being the impressive shark displays and the intriguing presence of Piranhas. Each section is enriched with extensive information about sea creatures, making it an educational journey. Be prepared for a fair amount of walking, but the diverse range of sea life, including fish, lobsters, sea snakes, sea horses, and even preserved animals, makes it a worthwhile adventure for marine enthusiasts.
This is one of the great attractions in KL, it's located in KLCC lower ground, and u still need to walk a little bit cause it's actually at the very back side.
The place is very crowded during big events, and doesn't really make me feel comfortable in seeing fish cause the people are a lot...
I suggest u to come on weekdays or regular weekends for better experience...
Anyways, the fishes are very vary and come from different places in the world... U can also experience passing through their aquarium tunnel and feel like u are surrounded by giant fishes.. So it's really worth to try! And the price is not so pricey for the tickets..
A great place to go with family to see the aquatic life. Bought tickets online to avoid congestion during the weekend which is useful as we went on payday. Overall, the visit is pleasant and we enjoyed the place.
Nice place to go despite being very crowded due to holiday. I think it's good for kids to learn,have fun and enjoy aquatic life.You can buy a ticket easily purchased online or offline. The most amazing thing is walking under the tunnel where you spot sting ray, sea turtle, shark, grouper, and diver cleaning the water. Overall, again, it was a nice experience to revisit these aquatic friends.
Really enjoyed the numerous species of fish at the aquarium. The tunnel to closely see the sharks and rays was very personal. However, I was surprised to see a petting area for visitors to touch the marine life.
Well organised not to busy on a weekday . Ideal location as next door the big shopping centre. Can buy tickets online or on the day . Able to get around with wheelchair or pushchair. Cheaper for local residents as it should be . Plenty of car parking around . Seen lots of various oven life . Like the idea of educating people about the environment , pollution and eco systems. Yes would go again .
a good place to kill your time with family n friends. the tunnel aquarium was a great experience to watch sea creatures swimming above our heads. Can learn about many interesting information regarding the creatures. Children will love this place.
Thought it was a really nice place to visit for a few hours while visiting KL! We bought our tickets from a third party website called Pelago which offered a slightly cheaper rate (RM42 for Malaysian citizens) compared to Aquaria itself.
We spent about 3 hours reading on the marine life, looking at the different species in different types of water as well as attending some of their feeding shows!
The tunnel was the highlight for me as a lot of marine life swam past the tunnel. We could even spot all 3 of the tiger sharks and all 2 of the sea turtles while going through the tunnel!
I do agree though with other reviews that say the tanks are overcrowded. But I’m not sure how I can recommend it to be better besides installing another tunnel?
One thing I didn’t really like was how crowded and hot the place was. It says there’s a limit to how many people can enter at once but it still was overcrowded and really hot. I can’t imagine what it must be like on weekends.
I would definitely recommend coming here to visit by yourself, with your family or friends! But do try your best to come on a normal weekday because the crowds can be overwhelming sometimes. Enjoy! :)
Had an amazing experience visiting this aquarium. It’s located inside KLCC. It is recommended to book the tickets in advance. Mobile tickets should suffice here. You will be greeted with a photoshoot and then you can spend time seeing variety of fishes. The tunnel experience is something noteworthy which has a moving walkway providing you the best views. Kids will enjoy this a lot
We walked to Aquaria KLCC on a very wet stormy day, getting there was easy and the entrance welcoming, it wasn’t too busy and we’d bought our tickets online. The experience is well worth the ticket price and there’s plenty to see. My favourite - the tunnel with the sharks coming over your head , also the Turtle and the Manta Rays … just awesome,
Nice place to go despite being very crowded due to holiday. Perhaps they should do crowd control so visitors get a more in depth experience of all sea creatures. The place is quite small to be honest. If it wasn't for the "forced" photography and slow tunnel journey, it would have been a better visit.
The issue with force photography is they get everyone to take photo whether you want it or not. Then they charge exorbitant amount for the photos...that are practically just fake background. Not worth the money.
If there is a administrator from Aquaria reading this, here is my suggestions to improve.
1. Control your visitors. Limit no more than say...200 people at one time. Instead of cramping everyone in during peak hour.
2. Don't force visitors to take photos unless they request for it.
3. Review your pricing of photos. Have 3 tier pricing. Starting with basic where one could get just one photo and simple cardboard frame at low price....say RM38. Then mid tier with an album with all shots about RM90. Final is the premium tier where they get all photos in a nice album and frame including the glass ball photo for about RM180. Just be honest and publish the price up front instead of expecting everyone to come asking.
4. Introduce a guided tour at allocated time. This will really help educate visitors especially young kids going on school trip. I'm sure you have someone from your staff experience and knowledgeable enough to do this. Try giving this free to try out. Then consider charging when demand is good.
Anyways, all the best. I hope Aquaria can continue to expand in future.
Aquaria is a great place for kids to learn and have fun! If you're looking to avoid the crowds, I recommend visiting on a weekday. Although there were still some people lined up when I visited on a Monday, it wasn't overly crowded and I didn't have to wait long. While the fish are cute, they're relatively small, and I was hoping to see more species and sections. However, they do have one impressive tank and a walkway where you can observe fish swimming above your head. Even though there may not be as much as you'd expect, I still enjoyed my time there, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to bring their kids for a fun and educational experience.
Super hot and humid, like a sauna steam room, do not go during public holiday or weekend, super crowded, I can't breath, wanna faint already especially when queueing into the tube tunnel, I can't stay any longer, just want to leave the place as soon as possible. The fishes and overall presentation are good, is just too crowded, feels like no air circulation.
Crowded and not much of attraction. It took me only half an hour to finish the tour inside, not worth it. I don't even see piranhas. But most fishes are familiar with guests, they even swim close for photos.
We had a fun time visiting on a weekday evening, entered at 330pm and took 2 hours browsing. We watched the piranha feeding at 4pm and otter feeding at 430pm. Low crowd and we could move around easily. We loved the bioluminescent exhibit too, it was so amazing.
Would advise visitors to buy tickets online for example via Klook to enjoy a discount, and you don't have to wait to enter. You can buy it there and then, with instant confirmation so you don't have to buy it in advance.
We give this place 5 stars. An absolute winner for my 4 year old daughter. Thousands of fish species. It was truly an educational tour for all ages. Sharks, manta rays, eels, turtles, jellyfish and more. It's a well- maintained amusement park and even provides feeding session shows for people to participate. Amazing aquarium. We loved the walk in conveyor belt aquarium the most!
It's a great place to see and learn about the ocean.It's like being under water without getting wet. Would like to go again but with less crowd(maybe on weekdays). It was hectic when I went there which makes it hard to have a good time without bumping into random people.
Really enjoyed this facility. Found it with some difficulty because you have to go into the convention centre. The lift between the floors of the Aquarium was out of action on the day I went, so mobility access would be a problem for wheelchair bound customers. I had help to get down the stairs, after initially telling me I couldn’t have access. For someone who couldn’t negotiate the stairs, a simple solution would be giving them access via the gift shop from the outside elevator.
I had an amazing experience at KLCC Aquaria in Malaysia. It's a must-visit destination, especially if you're traveling with family. My wife and daughter particularly enjoyed the vibrant marine life and the well-designed exhibits. The highlight for us was the underwater tunnel, where we felt completely immersed in the aquatic world. For a smoother experience, I recommend booking tickets in advance through Klook, as it offers a significant discount compared to on-site prices. This place is not just an aquarium; it's an educational journey through diverse marine ecosystems. Don't miss it if you're in Malaysia!
Don't miss this place if want know about what beneath the sea. The aquarium features various exhibits, including a giant oceanarium tunnel, interactive touch pools, and educational displays. Coral reefs, beautiful turtles, majestic sharks and much more fascinating creatures makes the place special. Overall, Aquaria KLCC offers a memorable and educational experience for visitors of all ages, making it a must-visit attraction in Kuala Lumpur.
We visited this place on the fourth day our visit to Malaysia and it was really great experience. I have never been to such a place and it looked very interesting to me. For the first time in my life, I saw so many Manta Rays and lot more oceanic creatures from so near distance. Loved it.
Place was okay. It had its fair number of aquatic animals featured and there were staff designated in areas where they would provide more info and show you how the animals are fed. I think the place needs to put a limit on the number of people who can enter at a time because most of the time you can't read or even check the animals beacuse there's too much crowd but not much crowd control. During the tunnel experience, there were no staff to keep other visitors in check that's why some visitors tap on the glass which is very dangerous.
Book in advance to save time from the queue.
Nice amount of variety in the exhibits, which appear clean and well-maintained. Plenty of descriptions as well for people wanting to become more educated about aquatic life. However, it was a bit smaller than I expected especially given the price (for foreigners, at least) - not quite as big as other aquariums I have been to. I finished in half an hour with a cursory look at all exhibits. Perhaps groups or families will take 1-2 hours to appreciate everything.
The beauty of the place is too good for words. Varieties of sea creatures are there. It is very well maintained and a good experience for all age groups .Located close to the PETRONAS tower,it has a beautiful surrounding good for evening walks and good evening spend is guaranteed .The entry fee is around INR 1.2k,which is totally justified. Best option is to get tickets via Klook.
Very nice aquarium inside of the Convention Centre. Wasn’t too crowded when I went (11am weekday) although there was a primary school trip so loads of highly excitable children loving the fish.. was a surprise to see also meerkats and some other non aquatic animals.. Takes about an hour to walk around and see everything.
The KLCC Aquaria is a highly-maintained aquarium nestled in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, conveniently close to the iconic Petronas Towers. It serves as an excellent educational resource for children, offering a fascinating glimpse into marine life. Renowned as one of the top five aquariums in Asia, it boasts an impressive collection of aquatic species. However, it's worth noting that ticket prices are slightly on the higher side. Overall, it's a must-visit destination for families and anyone interested in marine biodiversity.
KLCC Aquaria delivers an enchanting underwater adventure, albeit with a relatively higher cost for international visitors. Its diverse exhibits offer a wealth of mesmerizing sights, notably the striking shark showcases and the intriguing presence of Piranhas. Each area is brimming with comprehensive insights into marine life, ensuring an enriching educational experience. Expect some walking, but the extensive array of sea creatures, from fish to lobsters, sea snakes, and preserved specimens, guarantees a rewarding journey for marine aficionados. Despite occasional crowding, it's a delight for kids and adults alike.

If you're a big fans of souvenirs, this place is a must visit. So many stores on the ground floor and 1st floor selling souvenirs. Public toilet located inside this facility so don't wait no more if you have severe explosive diarhea. Food court located on 1st floor.
Central market open from 10am onwards. But it is advisible for you to come at 11am the earliest. Because at 10am the merchant busy preparing their shop. Come early of you don't mind helping them sweeping the floor or something.
If you walk outside the central market you will notice so many homeless people. During my visit they are busy having breakfast. Sad. I hope the best for all of them.
If you love adventure, then central market is the place to be. They have all kinds of shops, each one having a theme and being distinct on its own. It was a very pleasurable experience. Prices tend to be on the higher side as this is a tourist area too. Great experience nevertheless.
This place is unique, quite similar to Queen Victoria market in Melbourne. Clean & comfortable. You can find old magazines/comics back dated to 1960 but still in good condition, batik, T shirts, paintings/drawings, restaurants, and food courts . Worth to visit
A very touristy market where you will get all the knick knacks to take back as a souvenir. You can find things at all price points here. We did buy certain souvenirs, the quality of those were good.
The market was not very big, atleast the main building can be covered in a hour or so. Parking is very limited here so it is better to go using public transport.
Finally revisited this place after its renovation. Lots of fun local stores and weekend market. I love their stationery stores, we can send postcards and I bought several items. Ample of places to take beautiful pictures. This place has become so clean and fresh. Would definitely come again some day. #supportlocal
🚈 Public Transport : Very close to Pasar Seni station (MRT, LRT, KTM). But from the station, need to cross the double lane road to get to the market.
Pasar Seni is one of the oldest iconic places in KL. The market has been renovated and expanded but overall, it still retain its core architecture especially the facade ever since late 1800s. It was quite surreal to think the market has been there for many decades and generations. It's truly a heritage icon.
Inside, the market packed with plenty of shops and kiosks selling traditional, cultural products. It's a 2-storey building, the ground floor mostly occupied by souvenirs sellers selling sculptures, pewters, antiques items etc while the second floor largely has clothes, outfits shop selling traditional batik, songket, cheongsam etc and on this floor, there's a food court too. At the end of the block (need to go outside of building), there's a row of artist shops selling painting, artwork. The 3D Illusion Museum building actually annexed by the end of the market block.
There's also a neat mini museum at the center of ground floor showcasing the brief history of the market and KL, highlighting the market evolution over years and decades alongside the iconic figures that helps shaping the economy sector of Malaya back then.
It's a wonderful place for anyone looking to find unique, special gifts to someone while at the same time appreciating the magnificent historical value of the market.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended
I thought it was closed for a renovation during the MCO and was looking forward to the new look but it still looks the same. Part of the ground floor is hoarded up. Although there are less shops now but still an interesting place to shop and enjoy the air conditioning. The kasturi walk outdoor is closed unfortunately. The lovely wau structures are still there.
Years ago there were many local artists painting on the spot and selling their original master pieces there. It was my all time No. 1 tourist spot which i showed off to my oversea guests. Now there are mainly souvenir shops and a place to shop for handicraft gifts. I collect fridge magnets and i still shop for good bargains here.
I used to lunch at the food court upstairs too. Now I parked here and eat at the many choices of shops nearby. Parking is quite limited though.
If you love adventure, then central market is the place to be. They have all kinds of shops, each one having a theme and being distinct on its own. It was a very pleasurable experience. Prices tend to be on the higher side as this is a tourist area too. Great experience nevertheless.
When I was studying, I often came to order design products, and later I often came to look for postcards. You can find a variety of artworks here. There are restaurants, food centers and shops upstairs, and there are shops and art stalls downstairs. There are galleries and museums opposite. It is a paradise for tourists to buy souvenirs. public toilet available at 50 cents.
Gorgeous art souvenir places. Quite a huge variety of things. They even have artists' gallery at the end of the building if you wanna purchase their works or even can even ask them to paint an art piece you want. The best part of all is the art workshop ,more like a Batik colouring where those of you have not been touching any art. You can just select some small batik designs available and start painting. Prices depends on how big your Batik piece is. Overall is's and awesome cute place to indulge a small brief part of Malaysia.
This place is in chinatown. It’s a closed air conditioned marketplace that has all the chinese shop you would need. You can get traditional items, souvenirs, clothes, fruits & juices etc here. Prices are lower as compared to other nearby malls in the area. Also the shopkeepers are very friendly.
I loved Central market, it’s actually really central everytime I stroll around the city I found myself by the Central Market lol.
Good place to get some souvenirs, shop, grocery, and eat.
They do have a food court in two floors, prices were reasonable and the food was good.
One stop place in KL to hunt for souvenirs and culinary delights. Last time I was here at the beginning of 2020 before Covid, now it is getting better organized in the inner building.
But for some reason, I feel like the prices here are more expensive than before, maybe the rental price has gone up?
The traffic in front is always congested and the parking space is not spacious enough during peak season or weekends.
Come for the art deco former wet market building, and the food court. The craft shops are catered for tourists so nothing really caught my eye. There is a private gallery with East Malaysian artefacts in an annex building.
I really happy that Centrai Market reopen again!! Many new shops, restaurants and etc. which are interesting. Don't miss when you are in KL.
This is the grand Bazaar of Kuala Lumpur. You may find traditional clothes, products, souvenirs of Malaysia in here.
There are some Chinese shops selling special stones which they believe it brings luck.
On the second floor, there is a huge local restaurants serving all ethnicities' cuisines available in here. Not the best quality but the most diverse one.
Looking for local and Asian crafts and arts, this is the place to be. There are shops, stalls, and a food court in here. There are plenty of interesting hand-made items, clothings, art pieces, wooden crafting, copper wares, and many other things. Inside this place is air-conditioning and airy with high ceilings. This place was once a wet market, a long time ago, and still maintaining the original structure of the building. Parkings can be found in front of entrance and around the place.
Old market since 1888. There are many small shops and stalls there of ladies items, souvenir, candles, handmade items and many other things. There are restrooms also inside the central market. It is covered and air conditioned by coolers not AC's. Its easy to get taxi there and u also have food options nearby.
We first time entering after more than 10 yrs. Still attractive although it was more energetic, lively and crowded before.
Still a great place to look for arts and souvenirs.
There is a foodcourt on the 1st floor.
Neat and organised market.. Consist mostly of dresses.. A superb food court is there, which is surrounded by Malaysian, Chinese, Thai and Indonesian food varieties.. Neat toilets are there on payment of fee..
Wow..I have not been to Central Market for 10+years. I was amazed and impressed with the nice changes. It is more vibrant with newer and cooler shops for Malaysian souvenirs at a fraction of the cost as compared to high end KL malls. There are many pop-up stalls over the weekend. I found two Malay style dresses for a total of USD15. Definitely will be back.
One of the places to look for typical Malaysian souvenirs. There are lots of good and interesting works of art here and the prices are still affordable. But be careful, the sun is very hot during the day…. Fiuh so tired laaaa
Good place to go for local souvenirs. There are handcrafted items, leather shoes, bags, belts, wallets, clothes, etc. almost everything you want.
You maybe lucky to get some entertainment in the evening or night. There are also eateries where you can grab your meal.
Art is a thing of the market. A place to visit for sure.
Great market, was so thankful for the air conditioning.. lots of boutique shops selling hand crafted goods and souvenirs etc etc. Food hall as well which was inexpensive. I would have bought some items if I had the space to arty them home. Had a fish foot spa at a place called Cute Fish Spa- 10 ringgit for 10 minutes which I thought was a bargain for 10 minutes worth of giggling 😂
The central market ate very crowded with tourists and local residence 🌺 the vibe here is vibrant. Lots of jelwery and souvenir stores. Food stores are on second floor. This market i believe is a tourist attraction. The interior looks amazing with the flags. Great check-in spot ❤️
Nice place, neat, not too crowded, the concept with the annex kinda unique, a little retro vibes. Few choices of culinary, little cafes with unique interior, cute and delicious desserts, but no too many traditional food here. Perfect place for a stroll.
Really enjoyed wondering around the many shops can buy clothes, coffee, cakes souvenirs, groceries etc. top floor had food court with many foods to chose from. Nice exhibition of the history of the market, was quite busy and had a nice atmosphere, definitely worth a visit
9. KLCC - Bukit Bintang Walkway

Sights & Landmarks
Slide 1 of 11
A covered enclosed pedestrian bridge towards Bukit Bintang.
Clean, chilled and dry (!), sometimes a bit busy - so remember: Walk on the left and you'll be fine. Well lit in the evening and always guarded by security - so safe even when there aren't many people around. The walkway essentially connects from Bukit Bintang in the direction of the KLCC Convention Centre, from where you can walk through a subway directly to the Twin Towers. Here's a tip.
Tip:
If you have managed to get to Bukit Bintang in the dark and have not yet seen the Twin Towers, you can experience them in a particularly impressive way. And this is how:
o Start at the intersection of Jl. Sultan Ismail and Jl. Bukit Bintang (Bukit Bintang MonoRail station): At the corner "Lot 10" towards "Pavilion", go in there (entrance WELCOM TO CONNECTION) and always straight through.
o Then go out into the walkway (if in doubt, look for the restaurant "LA BOCA" which is just before the walkway starts), keep right at the first escalator, then keep going, following the signs to KLCC (that means you have to change direction a few times). Important: Always look ahead, don't look left, right or back ;-)
o At the end of the walkway, take the escalator down, then directly left into the Convention Centre, inside directly down the escalator towards the Aquarium.
o Pass the aquarium on the left, now keep going in the same direction, manage to surround the center food court, and make a light turn left, following the sign and don't go upstairs (you pass through a nice bright tunnel under the KLCC Park).
o You will then enter the KLCC Shopping Centre, keep going in the same direction and take the escalator up 1 floor behind the 3 glass lifts in the centre of the mall. Now you are already directly in the middle of the towers!
o Then go straight ahead and out, stop behind the first fountain and now SLOWLY LOOK UP AND BREATHLESSLY ENJOY THE WOW-EFFECT OF THE LIGHTED TOWERS!
It's a bit tricky to find it. From Suria KLCC head to Aquarium and then go down to the food court. You will see a path or ask someone to tell you the way to pavillion. After that point it's quite easy.
(Translated by Google) Lengqi is not very strong, but considering the heavy traffic outside, it is better to go inside, but the intersection of KLCC passage is difficult to find, so I asked the guard directly
(Original)
冷其沒有很強，但想到外面的車水馬龍，還是走裡面好了，但是KLCC通道路口不好找，我是直接問警衛
Good concept but is the place going bankrupt? The escalator at KLCC end had been broken for over a week & the Wisma Cosway escalator is now also broken! Aircons also not as cool as they used to be.
Nice walkway to avoid traffic. Could be more cooler, AC not like Dubai
Perfect Walkway during rain time and hot sunny days.
Also to avoid being lost and losing your directions 🌞☀️😎
Great way to get around when it’s raining!
Convenient walkway connected to many places

Comprehensive shopping mall. Have Japanese restaurant area with Daiso.
Beautiful decor.
Top floor have some tea that I enjoyed resting a bit from all the mall walking.
From here can go plenty other smaller malls but this is definitely the best.
One of the most popular malls in Malaysia and its strategic location at the bustling Bukit Bintang has always attracted big crowd of visitors to come by. Officially opened in September 2007, the mall complex also consists of 2 blocks of serviced apartments, an office block and a 5 star hotel. The most significant expansion happened in late 2016, the 10 storeys Pavilion Elite that's built adjacent to the original mall block.
THE GOOD
• Massive shopping mall brimmed with loads of retailers, amenities and facilities
• Impressive array of premium brand stores (Rolex, Armani, Coach, Chanel, CK)
• Strong list of sports stores (Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, JD)
• Lavish and luxurious interior decor, akin to 5 stars hotel
• Parkson department store and Dadi Cinema as the premier screening hall in the mall
• Less than 5 min walk to Bukit Bintang MRT and monorail station
• Kitchen-sink list of restaurants, fast food chains and assorted food courts located at L1
• Themed shopping precincts such as Tokyo Street, Connection and Couture
• The Centre Court is the place where many large-scale events happen such as KL Fashion Week
• Grand-themed decorations for seasonal celebrations (Christmas, CNY, Hari Raya, Deepavali) featured at the front courtyard and the centre court
• Excellent amenities and facilities (ATM, toilets, surau, valet)
• Close proximity to Starhill mall, Fahrenheit 88 mall, Berjaya Times Square and Lowyat Plaza
THE NOT-SO-GOOD
• Due to its popularity, the mall can get very busy with visitors

Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, undoubtedly one of the city's iconic shopping centers, offers a shopping experience that's both vibrant and bustling. However, it's essential to acknowledge the full picture. While it attracts a diverse range of visitors, you'll often find a substantial presence of Middle East tourists. This international blend contributes to its unique atmosphere.
One thing to keep in mind is that Pavilion can get exceptionally crowded. The popularity of this shopping destination means that it's frequently teeming with shoppers and tourists alike. As a result, some might argue that it's somewhat overrated, especially if you're seeking a more relaxed shopping environment.
The buzz and activity within Pavilion can sometimes create a sense of chaos and havoc, particularly during peak hours or busy seasons. So, if you prefer a quieter shopping experience, you might want to consider visiting during off-peak hours or exploring other shopping centers in Kuala Lumpur. While it has its drawbacks, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur remains an integral part of the city's shopping scene, offering a diverse range of retail options, dining choices, and entertainment, making it a worthwhile destination for those who appreciate the lively and bustling side of city life.

Being a premier shopping mall in the capital city, Pavilion is synonymous with splurging on festive decorations. There's no exception when ushering in the year of the tiger.

The architecture is beautiful, delightful shopping ambiance. The variety of dining options is outstanding, from upscale restaurants to charming cafes.
Pavilion also hosts exciting events and exhibitions. Its central location of Kuala Lumpur makes it easily accessible for tourists alike.
Full of designer store on some seven floors. Good food hall on lowest level serving food for most tastes including vegitarian dishes. Bars and cafes on what I would consider the ground floor but I think it's level 3.
It is definitely the best mall in Kuala Lumpur. The shops are pricey as they are all top brands of the world. Great selection of restaurants, cafes and bars. Multiple food courts with every possible kind of cuisine. Very very clean and well designed. Staff is also very helpful. They are supposed to have free wifi there but for some time now it's not been working properly. To enjoy all restaurants make sure you have mobile phone with a data connection as they require you to scan QR code for menu and ordering. Many restaurants are also cashless now and only accept payments by cards.
Great spot for half or full day exploring, not as many options for children however as long as you can occupy them your sorted. Plenty of high or low range shops, plenty of food options from the courts down lower level to restaurants upper level. Facilities clean and staff friendly.
One of the high end malls in KL central district and just opposite Westin KL and JW Marriott. There is plenty of restaurant on the top level and basement for all taste buds and price level. There is a supermarket on the basement called Mercato. The top level restaurant from the Indian and Chinese restaurant is great. The western steak house is quite good too. Just have to avoid peak hours for the traffic jam into Bukit Bintang.
Probably one of the best malls in the world. It has everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. All the food places your heart desires, authentic foods, fast foods, desserts, authentic desserts. It has luxury shops, high Street shops and concept malaysian/Asian shops for different fashion.

Always a nice and happening place to walk around, take pictures and tagged in the sights. Every year the mall decoration is pretty grand with lots of places and corners to get IG worthy shots, even the shops will look nicer compared to other branches. The shops inside are mostly luxury shops, but you can find some nice and affordable restaurants to eat too like Sukiya steamboat.
It's another grand shopping centre, right in the heart of the city. It basically has everything you need, all the major brands. It's nicely designed, and so far we'll maintained. Parking is usually a little challenging but I guess that's a norm. The decoration for Christmas is always grand. Hope for something practical, sustainable and reasonable.
Best mall in KL or Malaysia. Lots of good food and store and the Japanese street food is great and the phone shop product is quality and affordable. Will visit again and again. Team from JOVY uniforms , Perth
Very big shopping centre with varieties of food, and shops. Parkson in many levels, Mothercare, supermarkets and many more.
Recently has the big decoration of Coach, Dior outdoor and Hari Raya April 2024 celebrations at the atrium.
We were there prior to Lunar New Year, so the centre was decorated beautifully.
A hub of activity with lots of beautiful shops and plenty of food choices. I needed a small repair done to my spectacles and the optometry shop replaced the nose pieces, tightened all the screws and cleaned them for me. The declined any payment. What a wonderful way to experience KL for our first visit.
One of the finest mall in Malaysia I would say. They maintained it well all these years. Also they give their best decorations for every festive season. My favourite is their Christmas decorations with the snow effect. Varities of stores and f&b inside the mall. Also have cinema and karaoke nearby. Good place to hang out with friends and family.
This shopping mall is impressively clean and spacious, providing a welcoming atmosphere for visitors. It boasts a diverse range of stores, catering to all budgets, with options ranging from affordable brands to high-end luxury boutiques. Moreover, I was thrilled to discover some delightful Japanese food restaurants within the mall, fulfilling my culinary desires.
One highlight for me was finding a Gindako outlet in the shopping mall, which was a pleasant surprise. My overall experience here left me completely satisfied, and I can't help but wear a contented smile on my face. 😁
Very very big mall.
U can find all you need.
From food, over casual shops to electric or gaming stores.
Little bit like a maze but all in all very nice.
PS: the Huawei store was very nice. 100% top notch staff.
Thank you!

Contemporary museum offering displays of historical Islamic items, plus a restaurant & library.
Slide 1 of 28
If you have an appreciation for the Middle East, Islamic culture, arts in general, architecture, history, anything, then you should visit this museum. There is something in it for everyone, and then some.
Islamic art has its own beauty, it is often simple, geometric and yet rich. But if you look into the details then there is a wealth of complexity that often leave you astounded. The Islamic Arts Museum showcases that really well while taking the visitors through a logical sequence of the art forms and of the different eras.
This really is a great place to visit in the weekend if you're short of things to do. It doesn't need to break your wallet, as the entry is only RM14 for some of the amazing artefacts that's on offer here. The building itself is to behold. Don't forget to look up.
This is a must visit in KL. The galleries are full of beautiful Islamic art in a very nice display. There's English text for foreigners in every description. Not only the objects displayed here are beautiful and well maintained, but also the gallery has a gorgeous architecture. This museum actually is what you will expect of a national museum. It's a great way to get to learn more about Islamic religion and history. Totally recommended
Incredible museum. If you have to pick one to visit in KL, this is probably it. There's an Orientalist exhibit now. The paintings are great, looks great even when photographed. Lighting is good and it's the kind of place you can stare at paintings for hours and be immersed in them.
If you like art, I highly recommend visiting the store. They have replicas sold. Quite pricey, but many are worth it. Even the fridge magnets and coasters are well done.
The children's library is also a nice place to bring your kids while your spouse explores the museum. It's about RM20 per person now but well worth it.
It's the most amazing Islam ☪️ Art Museum in KL. It exhibits paintings in real details to tell you about history of Islam. Moreover, it shows history about Koran (Qur'an) and more... highly recommend visiting this place. All my family love it and spend 6 hours for this.
Beautiful building and interesting museum about Islamic arts.
A lot of history about to learn, see and understand.
The entrance fees are 20 RM and can be pay by credit card.
During my visit, October 2023, two special galleries full of paintings, amazing!
Definitely recommend visit
You will need 45min of you rush, but I really recommend to take 1h30 to 2 hours to really enjoy it
I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was very quiet and empty.
Nice collection of Islamic art & architecture including items specific to Malay, Indian, and Chinese culture. Each item had English description which was nice but I wished that the museum made use of multimedia for a more engaging experience. A guided tour was only available for a group of 10. The top floor has an outdoor space with a beautiful dome. It would have been nice to access the outdoor space. Finally, if the museum brochure highlighted the must see items that would have been good as well.
It is a typical museum vibe. All galleries are nice. Arrange beautifully. Staff are helpful and respectful. It is sad that nowadays people don't really choose museum as a place to hang out or we can say to have a peace of mind. It is quite peaceful in here, at the same time adding up our general knowledge. So it is totally 5 stars for me. Of course, it is not a place where many people choose to have fun but try it once, who knows you'll get the same feeling as I am.
Such a lovely place! Some truly amazing artifacts and works of art. You can learn so much about Islamic history throughout Asia and see such cool stuff. I’d highly recommend checking it out!
There were only about three other people when I went, but it was a weekday. It’s very close to the national mosque, like a 5 minute walk if even. If you ask me it’s much more beautiful and interesting than the mosque which gets a lot more visitors. You should check out both for sure.
Must go if you like art.
They have plenty to offer from paintings to jewels.
Not many visitors so it was comfortable to walk around.
National museum of Malaysia is nearby but trust me, the Islamic arts museum is where you want to go, skip the nation museum lol.
Amazing museum showcasing different aspects of the Islamic religion and culture throughout history. The exhibits were very well maintained and their descriptions very comprehensive. Unfortunately, I was so captivated that I spent about 2 hours in one flour and were not able to complete the other 2 flours as the museum closes at 18:00. I highly recommend allocating at least 3hours if you are as fond of history as I am. The entrance costs 20MYR.
Beautiful museum with a great exhibition on several floors and an extensive collection. Very well presented with English explanations and covering many topics and geographic areas, not only Malaysia. It's very cold though, I thought I was prepared based on the comments here but had to leave much sooner than I wanted because it was just freezing. Unfortunately all the places where you could sit outside for a bit to warm up are closed.
The Islamic Art Museum is a treasure trove of beauty and knowledge. From China to Malaysia, it showcases the diverse world of Islamic art and culture. With stunning exhibits and insightful history, it’s a must-visit for anyone interested in the rich tapestry of the Islamic heritage.
What a mesmerizing museum. With its incorporation of precise and repeating Islamic geometry, there's always something to make you stare in wonder.
The whole museum is spotless, quiet and beautiful. You must visit here if you come to KL.
I had a wonderful learning experience exploring the many levels and exhibits. I spent the early morning at the Botanical Gardens and was allowed entry 30 minutes early into the museum, which was amazing as I had each exhibit to myself for the first hour or so. Shoutout to the super nice staff for letting me in early as I was completely oblivious to the opening time.
There's around 12 total exhibits, ranging from Textiles, Ceramics, Armour and Weaponry, Woodwork, etc. Each is chock full of amazing artifacts that are clearly well maintained. There's plenty of signage to contextualize these pieces which is much appreciated as some other museums I've been to in the region don't bother to fully build out their exhibits.
If you're by the Botanical Gardens or are looking for a rainy day escape, you can easily spend a couple hours here admiring all the art. Pricing is reasonable at 14 rm for adults and 7 rm for students. Highly recommend.
This is a must visit in KL. The galleries are full of beautiful Islamic art in a very nice display. There's English text for foreigners in every description. Not only the objects displayed here are beautiful and well maintained, but also the gallery has a gorgeous architecture. This museum actually is what you will expect of a national museum. It's a great way to get to learn more about Islamic religion and history. Totally recommended
The art was exquisite! A lot of representation of the Arab world painted by travellers from the west who went to visit North Africa and the gulf for artistic inspiration. It was also beautiful to see ancient Malay embroidery and an art piece where the entire Quran was written onto a fabric. Some parts of the museum were still under development such as the outdoor dome area as well as the courtyard garden which was unfortunate because it looked really pretty from outside. I also recommend getting some souvenirs from the gift shop because surprisingly they were quite cheap, cheaper than some stalls at petaling street!
Well worth the 20 MYR cost. The museum is well curated with detailed and interesting information. It’s quite big and covers the influence of Islam and Islamic art. I recommend taking at least 3-4 hours to read and process everything. It’s right next to the National mosque so you can combine the visits together.
Eye opening trip. There’s a orientalist painting exhibit right now to show the development of Muslim from west to east. Highly maintained and recommended to those who like to explore and know deeper about Muslim culture
The museum is an unique example of high level of elegance and of serenity:
The whole building is beautiful. All their ceiling domes are sublime.
The paintings of special exposition « Mirror or Mirage? » are stunning.
This museum applies the same entrance fees to local and foreigners, and open every day, except during Islamic main celebration days.
This is a very high-quality museum. The exhibits inside are stunning and have deepened my appreciation for Islamic culture. However, it might be the weekend, and there are too many children. Some of them are noisy, and some children are touching artworks with their hands. I hope the staff can increase supervision of the visitors to protect these exquisite cultural heritage pieces.
You'll need the whole day and still you won't be able to complete this museum of you start reading and looking into each item. It's really huge and the collection is enormous. We had lot of reading and looking into items here for hours and hours and we loved it. It was a great place to spend the 12th day of our visit to Malaysia.
Learn about Islamic history, culture, clothings, trade, and other ways of life and traditions over several centuries.
There evidences of pure Islamic culture, Arabian culture, and their interactions with the Romans, Persians, Northern Africans, Chinese, Indians, and Europeans.
A lot about Islamic and Persian calligraphy are captured, which are intertwined. Records of astrology and human biology are kept in the museum. Malay traditional medicine has some text in one of the areas.
Architecture of various regions and periods of more than 20 mosque compounds / study centres are kept in the museum. They’re amazing.
The museum has a very serene environment, a bookshop with good stationary, designs, study materials, etc. There is also a restaurant for individual and family dining.
It is a great place for history and calligraphy students, opened to all people irrespective of their religion.
It cost MYR 20 for an adult entry and MYR 10 for a student. Students must show their student ID cards or at least its electronic version.
The museum is very big, I would say you need at least 2 hours to check out everything. If you want to visit a restaurant inside (which is not as expensive as you might expect) you should consider at least a 3 hour visit. It's better to visit in the morning or you might be forced to leave because of closing time.
This place is good and anyone can learn some history about Islam.
The Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia showcases a captivating collection of Islamic art spanning centuries and diverse cultures. From intricate calligraphy to exquisite textiles, the museum provides a rich insight into the Islamic world's artistic heritage. Its well-curated exhibits, educational programs, and architectural charm make it a must-visit destination for those interested in exploring the beauty and cultural significance of Islamic art.
I was very surprised and amazed at how excellent this place is. The parking is abundant, and the customer service is very good.
The arts collection is astonishing and originated from various countries. The description / labelling of the arts is well designed for ease or reading.
The best part is the ambient within the museum. The air conditioning, the lighting, the smell (god, it smells soo good). It's very soothing and makes you appreciate the arts further.
I've spent around 4 hours in here but still couldn't manage to vet through all the arts.
I strongly recommend you guys to visit this place.
Museum displays art and artifacts, telling Islamic history from several angles.
Interesting to visit, will take at least several hours. Great option to take a quick lunch at the museum restaurant to give your senses a rest.
Visited on a weekday. Was not crowded and easily bought tickets at reception.
This museum is very beautiful, you can see different arts from the Islamic world. I read in the comments that you need 3 hours to visit it, but I only stayed 1 hour and felt it was enough to enjoy it.
I am not religious at all but I like to visit these places. This was magnificent. Really enjoyed it. Most of my photos were of the intricate roof domes. They are breathtaking. Nice modern building and everything is well spaced out so you can wander about at your leisure.

I went to Ramadan. The inside of the main mosque is unique and marvelous. It was a nearby train station and had a nice walking ground. This place is huge and the air is refreshing. Non Muslim people wearing purple robe while they're visit the mosque. Who wears a short dress and doesn't wear a hijab. You can take pictures no problem
Peaceful, Tranquil. Calm. Soothing.
This place is calm and soothing. A big mosque with parks and facilities for people to spend some time contemplating.
They have an entrance dedicated to foreigners, where they will give you a robe to adorn while visiting the mosque if you are dressed inappropriately.
The center of the mosque is decorated with delicately carved shapes of Islamic arts.
An incredible visit to the National Mosque of Malaysia! I had the opportunity to explore this stunning landmark by hopping on the Hop-on Hop-off buses, which made it convenient and easy to get there. The mosque's proximity to the Bird Park added to the charm of the trip.
The architecture and design of the mosque left me speechless - a true 'woooow' moment! The intricate details and majestic structure showcase Malaysia's rich cultural heritage and artistic brilliance.
The vibrant atmosphere around the mosque was equally delightful. The presence of small shacks and mobile platforms offering a variety of fruits, juice, food, and groceries added to the overall experience. It was a feast for the senses!
Overall, my visit to the National Mosque was an unforgettable and enriching experience. If you're in Malaysia, don't miss this opportunity to witness the beauty of its architecture and immerse yourself in its cultural richness
A mosque kept clean and well maintained. Staffs are all welcoming. The praying area is comfortable and huge. Recommended for everyone to visit. You can pray and then enjoy the art around the mosque. Muslim or non-muslim tourists are also welcomed. Enjoy the calming view here!
A good start to learn about the Malaysian history and culture.
The museum divides into different galleries,showcases different period of Malaysia.
You will learn about how the land is form,history of Malaysia(politically and culturally). It gives you a better understand ing of different cultures here.
Also it is nice to see different costumes.
After finished the visit of the main museum,coming out fro. the exit.You will see some restaurants to grab a drink or food.
Also you could check out if there are any exhibitions are available.
Now there is one exhibition about gold and another exhibition about animal taxidermy.
Despite its reputation and external beauty, Loved the rich history and culture of the mosque, go early if you want great photos ,its empty in the morning around 9am, you can sit and pray too and feel uplifted no matter what’s your religion is. An impressive mosque well located in the city. It deserve a visit! It also has a wonderful view
Wow. The National Mosque is a stunning place to visit. Amazing to see such a modern, but from the inside still authentic mosque. The staff was very friendly and carefully explained every detail of the mosque. Very friendly for non-Muslims as extra clothes are provided. Do note that the mosque closes during prayer times so carefully plan when to visit.
The beautiful gardens surrounding the mosque offer a tranquil escape from the bustling city, creating a serene atmosphere for reflection and contemplation. Inside, the intricate designs and intricate calligraphy on the walls showcase the country's Islamic heritage.
For anyone interested in understanding Malaysia's vibrant Islamic culture and heritage, a visit to the National Mosque is a must. It's a testament to the country's unity and diversity.
This is a must visit in KL. One of the best mosque experiences. If you don’t have long pants they will provide a robe free of charge. Place is self guided and a quick visit. Plenty of photo ops too
Beautiful mosque in Kuala Lumpur, must respect dress etiquette when visiting but they do have coverings if you need to use. The staff were very welcoming and gave lots of advice. Very calming and relaxing to sit and listen to prayers and very pretty at night when all lit up blue, definitely worth a visit
A good place for prayers & relaxing your mind. The mosque is fully air-conditioned with very comfortable carpets. The only open toilets would be at the lower ground away from the currently open entrance. Otherwise a good experience to be here & will definitely visit again.
The architecture of the building is crafted perfectly with its own state of the art interiors. It is a perfect tourist spot for foreigners who wants to know about the historical value and admire its architecture.
It is easy to get submerged oneself into the serene and soothing of this holy place. A place where Muslims come together for prayer but most importantly for their continuity to the Muslim community.
From its spacious prayer hall, central roof that look like an unfolded umbrella to its surroundings of beautiful enticing and tranquil gardens.
A beautiful mosque in the middle of Kuala Lumpur. What you could see inside the prayer room was breathtakingly beautiful. Please make sure you visit the area with proper clothes (no skirt or sleeveless clothing) though veils are available at the mosque. Three words for this mosque: beautiful, clean, and serene
A very big and picturesque mosque, suits for being the national mosque of the country. For tourists, it has some signages that tell people where is the best spot for pictures taking.
Several points to improve:
1) provide more parking
2)location of toilets / ablution room / changing room for women are not senior-citizen friendly and too secluded which may raise security concern.
One of the most iconic landmark in the heart of Kuala Lumpur and one of the most impressive mosque in the city with its unique features of the roof which resembles an opened & closed umbrella. No wonder it is one of the most visited place for tourists.
Just wondering whether the management has any plan to upgrade the ablution areas & the toilets. They are so in pathetic condition & in dire need of refurbishing works...
The National Mosque of Malaysia, also known as "Masjid Negara," is a significant religious and architectural landmark in Kuala Lumpur. This modern mosque, completed in 1965, blends traditional Islamic design with contemporary aesthetics. It can accommodate thousands of worshippers and boasts a striking 73-meter-tall minaret, a captivating 16-pointed star-shaped roof, and intricate Islamic geometric patterns inside the main prayer hall.
What sets this mosque apart is its open and welcoming atmosphere. The surrounding complex allows for free airflow, and people of all faiths are encouraged to visit, provided they follow the security guidelines at the entrance. Visitors have the opportunity to explore its impressive architecture, immerse themselves in Islamic culture and history, and witness daily prayer rituals. It serves as a symbol of Malaysia's rich cultural and religious heritage and is a must-visit attraction in Kuala Lumpur.
Magnificent building in the city centre. Massive footprint, over 70 metres high minaret and vast gardens surrounding the mosque itself. Was lucky i was there within the opening hours for non-muslim which was 9.30-12.30 ( also accessible for 2 hours later in the afternoon). Designated entrance, online check in, racks to leave your footwear and a changing station if you've arrived wearing shorts etc. Beautiful grounds, plenty of greenery, trees, palm trees and water features. Very opulent interior with an efficient air conditioning. 2 minutes walk from Kuala Lumpur train station, 3 minutes from the metro, 5 minutes form Chinese Market and 7 minutes from Chinatown. Highly recommended place to visit.
Islam is the main religion in Malaysia and they have a national mosque in kuala Lumpur. To get here, I recommend you take a taxi or book a grab. There's no entrance fee but there is a schedule when tourists can enter. This mosque is really large an beautiful. Amazingly it's very peaceful despite it having a lot of people inside
Good place to visit. Not necessarily the must visit in KL but you can go.
Only takes 15 minutes to have entire look.
Beautifully built from inside. Néed to follow the dress code, full pants is must.

The intricate architectural design and serene atmosphere of this mosque create an ambiance of tranquility and spirituality.

The attention to detail in every aspect of this mosque's construction adds to its overall beauty and sense of calm.
The National Mosque of Malaysia, also known as Masjid Negara, is a remarkable architectural and cultural gem. Visiting this mosque was an enriching experience. The stunning modernist design, with its striking blue and green tiles, is a sight to behold. The grand prayer hall is spacious and serene, allowing for a tranquil visit.
What truly stood out was the peaceful atmosphere and the welcoming attitude of the staff. Visitors of all backgrounds are made to feel comfortable and encouraged to learn about Islam and Malaysian culture. The mosque also offers informative tours that provide insights into its history and significance.
One can't help but appreciate the blend of tradition and modernity at the National Mosque. Whether you're seeking spiritual contemplation or simply admiring the architecture, it's a must-visit landmark in Kuala Lumpur.
The National Mosque Kaula Lampur Malaysia is fantastic—from the serene setting to the magnificent view of the mosque. Before dusk, non-Muslims are welcome to visit, and girls wearing shorts or less-covered clothing must put on a covered garment given to them by the administrative team in order to enter the mosque.
Great place to visit! The place is free of charge but registration is needed for tourists at the counter. Long pants are needed. However, the timings on Google Maps are wrong and it is only open for tourists at 930-1230 and 3-6 pm on Sat-Thu and public holidays for tourists. For Friday it’s only open at 3-6pm.

Highly recommend a visit here if you're visiting KL. It's not usually on the itinerary of KL tours but this place is interesting to learn about how pewter is mined and made into beautiful pieces that are both functional & artistic.
There is no entrance fees and you will be guided by either an English speaking or Mandarin speaking guide. The tour itself is a good 1-hour. After that you may decided to take one of the workshop activities for a fee.
The nearby cafe also serves delicious tea, cakes & ice cream and is a welcome sight to soothe your tired legs.

no entrance fee required.
we reached around 11.40am on Sunday. That time not many visitors. We are able to get in without waiting.
but after we went in not more than 30min, they are quite a number of visitors came inclusive 2 -3 tourist bus came. quite informative with this factory tour and worth it.
they are many products display here. all are very fine and of course pewter items are not cheap. but if you like it , worth to get it directly from this visitor center.
strongly recommend to visit here.
I loved it, the history of this family business, the designs, we got to see process of pouring and finishing. It was local holiday other local school kids were there and were heartwarming, wanted have pics taken with me. Highly recommend this tour. Was a tour of city from cruise.
"School of Hard Knocks" was fun!
We visited here during our family trip and tried "School of Hard Knocks" workshop after museum and factory tour.
The museum part was good to learn about the history of the company and what is the pewter material. It shows the pewter from various aspects so the even small children could learn it with joy!
The workshop took place in the class room led by friendly instructor. Finally, We have crafted a small ice cream dish which became a memorable souvenir. The work shop also gave us the "certificate of the completion" and work apron with Royal Selangor logo on it
It was fun and worth to visit! Highly recommended!
Went there for their pewter class. Was thought the basics of moulding a bowl manually. The person in charge was Hafiz, very friendly, very properly dressed & very skillful . They also have a tour about their history of making pewter products upstairs. I reccomend everyone to atleast join their class, very straightforward and easy to understand. Very good experience here ♥️👍
Really good place to learn about pewter item manufacturing process. The general visit tour is FREE. The counter will give you a touring device (like a walkie talkie) with multiple languages option for your visit. You just have to walk from checkpoint to checkpoint and listen to the narratives. There's also a station that serve you soft drinks in pewter cup during your visit. Super cool! The tour would take around 1-2 hours in general. Parking is widely available in the area.
If you'd like to experience the actual knocking and experience process by hand, there are packages (with payment) available in School of Hard Knocks. These are the extra activity.
Surprisingly a good place to spend time. I absolutely love the museum (with audio aid) and the factory. You could see how pewter products are made. By hand.
This is the first time I visited Royal Selangor Center. I know more about the founder and history of tin industry in Malaysia. Besides, walking around the factory and looking the process how to produce a product. I also try to make something as a worker in here. Finally, I significantly a wonderful things in gallery. That's amazing.
My first time visit here. So when we arrived, there is a tour guide who approached us (a family of four), gave us a visitor sticker and explain on the guide tour here.
Then she brought us inside the museum to tell the history of Royal Selangor and how a pewter is made. Finally, she leave us to wander around the sales gallery and cafe.
Overall is a great experience. Thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍
This was the highlight of the trip to Kuala Lumpur for us. We started with the free guided tour of the company history and factory floor as well as crafting methods with complimentary cold isotonic drinks provided. The tour terminates in the large gift shop and we signed up for both the workshops, School of Hard Knocks and Foundry. It was really fun having hands-on experience with molten pewter and making our own accessories. The gift shop is huge and Royal Selangor has collaborations with all the popular franchises like Marvel, Star Wars and Disney along with their own beautiful creations so you’ll definitely find something you love there. The service we received from the guides during our workshops were also top notch, very accommodating and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this for all ages!
Nice and chill place to go with your partner or family. Went on a Saturday after lunch.
There's a tour guide for every group of people.
Not crowded and entrance was free.
Even provided free 100plus to drink from a pewter cup which was cool.
Learned a lot since there's a science center about pewter. Got to see the actual process of the workers making the actual art which was cool.
Would come back for their pewter making class.
A very special place that is suitable for all family members to visit and the guide was very welcoming with free entry. It is a historical trip to the tin industry in Malaysia, but the prices of the products are very expensive. If you want try crafting some product, you have to pay 75 rm per person.
Nice place! Very interesting. Introduced pewter in an interactive way. Can see different shape of pewter and also the process. Not too big. Just nice size to visit.
We had a guided tour there, start from the museum and ended by workshop to try making a bowl. Nice experience. Oh there is also a souvenir shop available before you exit the building
Very stress relieving(?). Perfect place for trips (school, company, etc). Not many people (which is sad because there should be more). Entry is free and the guide is friendly. She explained things thoroughly. You can sign up for class as well here and make your own pewter bowl.
Make sure to follow the instructor accordingly and don't rush when making your own pewter bowl!
Enjoyed a tour of the Pewter Factory. Our tour guide spoke English and gave really good explanation of how everything is made. Took a bowl making class, really fun workshop Incase you need to de-stress and hammer something. Don’t forget to shop around. You can arrange free transportation ahead of time on their website.
Came here on a public holiday, joined the tour & signed up for the foundry workshop.
The guide & workshop instructor are very friendly & helpful. Love the entire experience very much.
The tour is free, the workshop cost RM180/pax. The environment is very pleasant & workshop experience is great! Highly recommended.
We had lunch at the cafe, food is surprisingly not bad.
Great place to bring the family members to this edu-tourism establisment of Royal Selangor Visitor Centre. It's open daily and their provide tour guide to visit the entire factory. Don't forget to take a picture at the world largest pewter tankard for momento. Here also have a workshop to us to learn how to produce the pewter from scratch to the finish goods with the affordable price offer. If you want to purchase of pewter as a gift to special one, here have a lot of collection of pewter such marvel, Harry Potter, Star wars and Malaysian heritage such Wau Bulan, Wayang kulit, Keris and many more. They also provide a free shuttle service from most well-known hotel in heart of Kuala Lumpur. Come, and explore the world of pewter
Recently visited the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre, hoping to relive the enjoyable experience I had over 10+ years ago. However, my recent visit left much to be desired. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a guide whose lousy speakers made it difficult to hear in the noisy environment. Despite voicing our concerns, the guide continued to speak rapidly, disregarding the needs of the visitors under his guidance. To add to the chaos, another guide clashed with loud, sharp voices nearby, further disrupting the experience.The premises looked poorly maintained, lacking the charm and appeal I remembered. The dull atmosphere dampened any enthusiasm I had to explore and shop at the retail section. I found the inclusion of Marvel statues to be puzzling and irrelevant, detracting from the overall experience.
Couldn't help but notice the poor working conditions for the staff. The environment lacked ventilation, and I questioned if there were functioning air conditioners for their comfort. It's disappointing that the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre seems to have lost its allure over the years. I wouldn't recommend it unless it's an essential part of the Batu Caves tour.
In conclusion, the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre requires significant improvements in various aspects to provide a more enjoyable and memorable experience for its visitors.
Such brilliant history, as well as craftsmanship. You'll be amazed by the range as well as the quality of their products.
They have even produced 11 of the F1 winning trophies for Malaysian F1 Grand Prix, including the mast one in 2017.
Very good place to visit. It's especially nice if you love some geeky figures and small statues. I went through in with a half day tour, and it was enough to inform me, but it would have been fun if I was in the factory too (I was during lunch time). The guide was very good and spontaneous, which feels welcoming if you visit.
She was well informed and was able to answer any questions.
Royal Selangor is a place worth visiting. The guided tour is free. There got in mandarin and English. You can learn about the history and how to make pewter. In addition, there are workshops for you to learn to make your own pewter accessory. After the guided, you can buy the pewter accessory at the hall. Beside that got a cafe to take a break.
A great experience. I went on the free factory tour. You get to learn a lot and see the process. After this tour l, you would understand why their products are expensive. Because it's all handmade..
Extremely good free visitor experience. Well organised right from the hotel pick up. Guided tour was excellent with well informed staff. Highly recommend during a visit to KL.

When you're in Kuala Lumpur is hard to ignore these two towers, no matter where you go in this city, most likely you can see some parts of twin towers. Although they're modern structures but somehow I get the medieval impression from them. They have designed the surrounding area interesting enough that makes your trip worthwhile. In front of buildings is large green space with water fountains and beautiful view of close by towers. And behind the towers is gorgeous park with a lake which they have symphony lake water show (illuminated with music in the evening).
MUCH THE SAME MERCHANDISE AS OTHER HIGH END MALLS.
Mostly international chains stores and a decent food court. gets very crowded - especially the food court at lunch time! Not really a good place to go if you are a tourist looking to buy something typically Malaysian - but a nice escape from the heat and humidity!
Great park, small but compact with 1.3km of rubber jogging tracks. It is a green lung for the city centre, fringing the KL Twin Towers and its shopping complex.
A must visit for if in KL, perfect for jogging whether morning, afternoon or night.
However it is dimly lighted at night but safe.
Walk and explore around and find your best spots to shot the KL Twin Towers.
Great park for kids with ample play grounds and wading pools.
Fountain shows after 7.30 pm.
On rare occasions one could spot one or two resident civet cats roaming the park.
The shopping mall is impeccably clean and well-organized. The ambiance is inviting, and it boasts a wide variety of shops. The Japanese restaurant I dined at offers a delightful culinary experience. I ordered a steak and white rice, and the beef was wonderfully juicy with a delightful flavor. Additionally, there's an Isetan store, a renowned Japanese brand, known for its high-quality products, which matches the standards found in Japan. The mall also features a scientific amusement area and an aquarium, making it a perfect place to spend an entire day and enjoy a range of activities.
KLCC: the heart of Kuala Lumpur. At once an entertainment, commercial and business focal point, KLCC is home to some of the most popular landmarks in Malaysia, making it a popular tourist destination. With a host of options to choose from - dining, arts, culture, recreation, sightseeing, shopping and entertainment – you won’t be stuck for ideas on what to do around here.
Described by its developers as ‘A City Within A City’, KLCC offers a myriad of interesting attractions that never cease to wonder, as well as plenty of nightlife, dining and shopping options. KLCC is readily accessible via public transport with many buses operating on various routes within the area and a few train stations nearby.
KLCC is a must place for both local and tourists to shop, dine, attend conferences and events.
Lovely view from the mall's outside. In close proximity to the Petronas Twin Tower, the mall serves as the primary draw. Inside, there are a lot of eateries and stores. Since most visitors and locals come here to take a walk and enjoy the stunning view, it is frequently crowded, especially on the weekends. Even at night, it is rather bustling.
One of the lovely place to visit for an evening chill out with family and friends. Must visit place for taking picture and shopping in the mall. Lots of option to eat in the food court. Light show of the fountain was a cherry on the icing. Amazing experience must visit.
If you don't like crowds, don't come here. Especially if you're driving, on a weekend. We came here on a Friday afternoon and it was really crowded. Traffic was horrendous. Mall was super crowded. It's a very touristy place. If you want to go up the petronas towers, do purchase tickets in advance as they get filled up for the week really quick so they were not open for purchase. Parking was very expensive. It was 9rm for such a short time.
Nice and beautiful Mall, with lots of medium and high end brands.
The food court was wonderful as well serving a great variety of delicious food and drinks..
Just outside the KLCC park there’s the magnificent musical fountain show…
A shopping mall that is located just next to KLCC twin tower. Pretty much an attraction spot for locals and mostly for foreigners and tourists, hence it is very crowded almost at all times. The prices are on the highside as it is a premium mall, and a lot of stores and restaurants, such as Isetan, Kinokuniya, Lego etc.
Can see the KLCC park from within the mall.
This is one of the visited market in Malaysia. As it is inside twin towers, there is always visitors gathering there for shopping, eating, and hanging out with family and friends. Apart from a lot of world brand shops, there are good number of local brand shops as well. Most of the people are using cards for the payment but cash and digital payment are also available. The interior of the market is nice. There is a big corridor between the shops and edge so people can move without any hassle. The market is closed by 10pm.
Suria KLCC is a gigantic shopping mall located at the foot of the Petronas Twin Towers.
Even though there are more expensive shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur, but in terms of strategic location and the ambience of vibrant, buzzing liveliness, I found this shopping mall to be the most attractive one.
One can go to the aquarium though an interconnected tunnel from it. It has good seating arrangements in its corridors for the tires tourists, customers and window shoppers.
The environment is clean, bright and lovely. The air smells of savoury foods and perfumes. It's truly a lovely place that uplifts the spirit.
Surya KLCC has one of the largest bookshop of Kuala Lumpur and stores almost all the reputed Western brands for luxury commodities. Its sleek, glittering and stylish.
Awesome shopping center.
It’s got all the brands under the sun weather it’s shopping or food & beverage.
It’s connected by a Pedestrian sky walk bridge leading directly to Pavilion Shopping center as well, which is Air Conditioned and approx a 15 mins walk.
The shopping center has a nice fountain outside in the open area and a large garden next to it.
And of course the amazing view of the Petronas Twin Towers.
Recommended 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
1. Icon of Malaysia, Icon of Kuala Lumpur
2. Nice walking area and twin tower view from outside
3. Plenty of places to hang around in the nature park
4. Entrance of Twin tower
5. Most branded shops are inside a single place
6. Connected with all part of the city by Bus, Metro, Cab etc.
Gorgeous view from the outside, the view of the Twin Towers was beautiful. Great assortment of shops, was able to find a few hard-to-find items. Also appreciated the guide kiosks, since it’s a large mall. Washrooms were a bit meh, could be a bit cleaner.
As its reputation stands. This is a lovely place to visit for a tourist photography experience.
Lovely fountain spots.
Great building view.
Be it your first time or the 10th time the feel of the place largely remains the same.
Experiencing the towers from the garden in front or the fountain area is lovely.
Was lucky enough to catch the River of Life show on my last visit here (videos attached), where the fountain water dances along with the music :).
Pleasant experience.
Dancing fountain start at 730pm and music dancing fountain start at 8pm.
These malls has many brands to offers.
The toilet has premium toilet and cost u 2 RM. But i think there is no premium at all -_- just regular toilet.
We just got tissue. Which odd.
The crowd on the weekend is super crazy. So hard to get grab here.
Definitely one of the great Malls. Anything you name it you can find it. The parking is a bit complicated and costly. The design of the mall is modern, clean and comfortable. Hopefully the maintenance continue to be good. The Petro Sains the top floor, is great. It's good for both kids and adults. Can easily spend half a day there. Can do shopping in the mall.
Meets the hype in terms of visuals and a modern marvel. Gotta appreciate the work that went into building such a well planned towers, that includes mall, fountains, park and much more. Great place to click photos. Luxurious and a certain place to visit for the tourists.

We craved for a coffee and snacks after whole days fun at Aquaria KLCC and KLCC park. We went straight to this mall where we had a nice coffee, cake, chicken puff (forgot the name of the cafe but it was really nice). When we came out, we saw a huge crowd enjoying public dragon dance on the ocassion of Chinese NewYear. It was really a great day!

Nice branded mall right under the Petronas Tower.
A nice classic mall in KLCC area. The mall itself not too huge and has a decent amount of stores. Most of the stores are branded and some affordable food options can be found in the food court area. Facilities are good. It is also easily accesible by public transport by the LRT.
It has several lobbies and access to the front of the Petronas Tower square for photo spots, and better view of Petronas tower from the KLCC Park. The pool in KLCC Park infront of the mall also has watershow and it is lighted at night. New year celebration in the area also great and well-known.
Overall good.

Good ambience. Easy to park because they have dedicated parking area for customers but with limited space. They are open at 9am. I went there at 9, but most of the pastries are not ready so we have to wait about 20 minutes to order and waiting for orders to be served. Very limited main course menu which not recommed.
Ii is not dissapointed, but i would rather recommended other places which far better than this.
The food is good but the queue is super long. You can order drinks from your table using QR. For pastries, u need to queue. Make sure you remember your table number so they can deliver to your seat.
Nice building, clean, well-managed. Entrance is free
The best gallery with historical information.
Merchandise available. Worth the time
The gallery is small and it takes around 30 minutes to walk around.Not much to see but it is a good start to learn about the Malaysian history and see some fast facts about the city.
There is a scaled model of KL city.You could have an overview how it looks like.
Before leaving the gallery,you could visit the gift shop which have a collection of locally made gifts as souvenirs.
Also feel free to get some freshly baked bakery and a coffee inside the cartería.
There are some attractions nearby within walking distance.
I often come here because KL Library is just next door. I go library on weekly basis. So KL City Gallery is a unique place to explore. The cafe serve good food, but during peak hour and public holidays, the waiting hour just to enter the cafe can be long. Food can be pricey. If you don't plan to eat here, you still can just go to view the gallery. A lot interesting stuffs here. More like art gallery plus museum. Free entry. Overall, a pleasant visit.
Love that the stuff was free. I came 20 minutes before close and was not rushed out. Even got to see some of the exhibits in the dark. Absolutely come check it out. They have a miniature KL city

Free entry.
A great place to know #kualalumpur history. And you can view modern kuala lumpur model in scale. No que for KL city gallery.
A long Que over long weekend.
There is cafe attached in this place. But the system of the cafe in reserving seat and ordering food is not friendly. Do not take a seat even when you see the empty seat. Check with the receptionist at the main entrance before que to avoid any misunderstanding or disappointment.
The building itself was historical government printing office during 1898s British colonial administration. Now it becomes gallery for Kuala Lumpur city, the best place to know and learn Kuala Lumpur origin. The building consists of two floors, placed few showcase, exhibition sections. Best thing, there is confectionary restaurant at the back ground floor. Serves nice pastries, cakes, coffee. Pretty delicious, juicy beef bagel burger and tasty big breakfast of sourdough as well. However the Hainanesse chicken chop was an average. The gallery also sell quite varieties of souvenirs, great gift for tourists. However car park of the place was very limited.
Really cool place to visit. It’s in the heart of KL so there are other attractions around and tons of food. There’s also a restaurant inside that serves pastries too. You can learn about the history of Kuala Lumpur. And there is some cool artwork and installations available to see. Make sure you go to the second floor!
A small and simple gallery to learn about a brief history of Kuala Lumpur. It's also connected to a food court where you could eat but we didn't last time. Tour groups also visit here so be prepared for a flocks of visitors if your timing is not right. AC is not very strong here but good enough to cool down from the heat.
Free of charge if you want to visit this place.
Has 2 floors and you can see on the first floor mainly telling about malaysia history.
And the second floor more into decorative and photospot.
The air cond lil bit hot.
A good place with a blend of old charm of KL (the small but awesome gallery) and good selection of patisserie and beverages. The best way to get a seat is to reserve ahead or to reserve by walk in. I like the ambiance in the cafe, where there are handicrafts on sale and tour. A good place to have light F&B while sightseeing at Dataran Merdeka.
For parking, there’s ample parking lots under the Dataran Merdeka.
Soooo I came for the gallery but I didn’t know there’s a famous pastry shop here with a long snaking queue. Initially I was like wah go in gallery also such long queue, thankfully the pastry shop staffs were going around remind people that this is the queue to get pastry not to get into the gallery.
Managed to get in to the gallery with no queue. Very informative place on the past rich history of KL. Enjoyed reading every panel of stories.
The city galley (free entree) displays models of the city and icon KL buildings. Quite a small place and can be covered in less than 20 minutes. We were excited when we first visited more than 10 years ago but that feeling was missing on this second visit. There are rooms for improvement in the maintenance aspect.
A small gallery with archives and historical information about KL … we saw a long line for entry into the famous bakery which looked great but couldn’t explore
The gallery is a very nice place. It's not very big but is very interesting and describes in a concise way the history of Malaysia as well as the history behind each attraction building. In one big hall it contains a huge scale model of the entire city. Also inside the gallery there is a shop selling food and souvenirs. by the way, the entrance is free. Is a place that you must see.
