Is the Kuala Lumpur Aquarium worth visiting?
It is a great place to visit with children. It is also a good choice for seeing Kuala Lumpur when it rains: it is fully indoors, next to the Twin Towers and the Suria KLCC mall. The highlight is the 90 m tunnel through the largest single saltwater tank in Malaysia.
How long does a visit take?
About two hours, more if you wait for a feeding. Last admission is at 19:00.
Can I buy a ticket on the day of my visit?
Yes. A ticket from Klook is confirmed instantly, and the date you pick is only for reference: a weekday ticket works on any weekday that is not a public holiday, a weekend ticket on any weekend or holiday. A ticket from the official website becomes valid only 2 hours after purchase.
How do I use an online ticket?
Show the voucher on your phone and a valid ID at the entrance, and go straight in.
Can you dive with the sharks?
Yes, on two paid programmes outside the regular ticket: Cage Rage for first-time divers and Dive With Sharks for certified Open Water divers. Both include equipment, a dive guide and admission to the aquarium.
Is the Kuala Lumpur Aquarium the same as Aquaria KLCC?
Yes. Aquaria KLCC is the official name of the aquarium beneath the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
What else is there to see near the Kuala Lumpur Aquarium?
The Petronas Twin Towers are about 10 minutes' walk away, with a skybridge and an observation deck open to visitors. In Suria KLCC, at the foot of the towers, is Petrosains, a science and technology museum.
