Anders Finnerup
★★★★★a month agoI had an amazing experience at KL Tower and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kuala Lumpur. The panoramic views over the city were breathtaking, especially during sunset when the skyline started lighting up. The entire experience felt very smooth and professional, from the ticketing process to the observation deck itself. The Sky Box was definitely the highlight and made for unforgettable photos. The staff were welcoming, the facilities were clean, and everything was very well maintained. A fantastic attraction and absolutely worth the visit.

★★★★★2 weeks agoNice dinner buffet at the revolving restaurant on top of KL tower. The restaurant booking includes access to observation deck. Book just before sunset and arrive early to check out city views from the observation deck, then enjoy dinner with sunset and night time views of KL city lights!
