Aquaria KLCC is both a family-friendly aquarium and a conservation center. Highlights include a wave tank, a simulated glass-bottomed boat ride, and a 295-foot (90-meter) glass tunnel with a moving walkway that takes you through tanks full of giant stingrays, sand tiger sharks, sea turtles, and tropical fish. If you want a closer look at the animals, you can book a Dive with Sharks or a Cage Rage experience.
Book admission tickets in advance to save time waiting in line.
You must book ahead to dive with the sharks or participate in other hands-on experiences.
The aquarium is wheelchair accessible.
Inside the aquarium, you’ll find restrooms, a gift shop, and a cafe that serves hot and cold snacks.
To reach Aquaria KLCC via public transportation, take a Rapid KL train to the KLCC station, which is a 5-minute walk from the aquarium, or take the KL Monorail to Raja Chulan station, which is a 10-minute walk away. Hop-on hop-off sightseeing buses also stop directly outside.
Aquaria KLCC is open daily from the early morning until evening. The aquarium’s staff hold animal feedings and other educational events throughout the day; check the schedule for exact times.
Though a sprawling metropolis, Kuala Lumpur is also a mecca for wildlife lovers. Family-friendly nature attractions include the KL Bird Park, where flamingos, toucans, and parrots fly free; the Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park (situated next door to the bird park), and Zoo Negara, where you can see more than 5,000 different animals from all over the world.
