Traveler reviews
Daphny Chen
★★★★★a month agoWonderful and so worth it. After reading the over crowded / small place reviews we were hesitant to go. But we are so glad we went anyways. We went on a Saturday afternoon (6pm) since it closes at 9 pm. We walked the entire place 2 times, ni no rush, no crowds. We had a wonderful experience, many areas just to ourselves. We have visited many aquariums and this one is very good. We were so happy they didn't have any dolphins or whales. We also learned so much, since they have displays that explain each area and share interesting facts. The staff was nice, helpful and willing to share their knowledge with us. We stayed almost until closing time and walked to The Petronas towers to watch the light show at 9 pm. Highly recommend this place, but choose your time wisely to avoid crowds.

★★★★★a month agoI recently had an absolutely fantastic experience to visit the aquaria KLCC. The highlight of the entire visit was definitely the underwater tunnel. Walking along the moving travelator as majestic stingrays and powerful sharks glided effortlessly above and all around me was a breathtaking and unforgettable experience. It felt like being completely immersed in the deep blue sea! The best time to go is on a weekday, ideally right when they open or later in the evening to have a much more relaxed and intimate viewing experience.
