Aquaria KLCC

Went to this for the first time at perhaps the wrong time of year: the second day of CNY, which was a bit miserable for me as it was so crowded with families and student groups. It’s not just fish and other marine life, they also have an insect exhibit too on the inside. As someone who’s not comfortable with the concept of animals in captivity for people’s «education» and amusement, I thought it could be worse, but it’s not. I would be more upset if I had paid full price (MyKad holders pay RM38), but…
So word of the wise: go during off peak hours or when it’s not the school holidays.
There are Groupons for this, so if you can get it, do it.

I LOVE LOVE Aquariums so when I found out that there was one in KL I was SUPER EXCITED.
This Aquarium is located in the heart of the bustling «Golden Triangle» of Kuala Lumpur and within walking distance from the Petronas Twin Towers (its actually attached). In fact you can walk inside from the Towers to the Aquarium which is GREAT when it is pouring and raining cats and dogs outdoors. VERY CONVENIENT and a well thought out plan!
Aquaria KLCC is a state-​of-​the-​art oceanarium showcasing over 5,000 different exhibits of aquatic and land-​bound creatures over a sprawling 60,000 square-​foot space in the Concourse Level of the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. It is MAAAAA-​SIVE! There is also a WONDERFUL moving walkway where the tank of sea creatures swim freely overhead and around you as you move slowly though the tunnel. FEEDING time is an AWESOME VIEW HERE and you can have your picture taken as JAWS swims by looking for something or someone to eat! hahhaa!
If your up for an adventure, you may want to consider a Dive With Sharks (after feeding time so that you don’t become a meal) or Cage Rage packages that will bring you up-​close with our ferocious exhibits. This is by far ZZZ-​BEST way to see the underwater nature UP CLOSE and PERSONAL! Or if your game you can try out the ROCK TOUCH POOL and observe, touch and feel our exotic exhibits such as the Sea Cucumber, Chocolate Chip Sea Star, Box Crab, Horseshoe Crab and our gentle Bamboo Shark. I LOVE horseshoe CRABS! Get a pot were about to chow… Oops did I say that out loud!
There are so many nooks and crannies for you to pop your head in and see underwater life!
At the end there is of course an gift shop for you to buy a picture of yourself in the movable walkway surrounded by fish or purchase a keychain or other stuffed animals, wall art, etc. Pretty much your standard gift shop of the aquarium exhibit.
Perfect way to relax and enjoy what the water around KL have to offer!

I have to give this Aquaria a four star. Firstly, a variety of fish — large and small from around the globe. Second — they have this belt that you can stand on and it moves you through the Aquarium. Lots of kiddies on school field trips. Well laid out. Been to the one in Pusan (Korea), and even though the Aquaria KLCC seemed to have more of a variety of different sea life, the Aquarium in Pusan seemed to be better organized vis a vis crowd control. Still definitely worth a visit.

Fish are friend not food!
Not the most extravagant aquarium but it’s a great way to get close to our marine friends in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur city centre. I’ve been there twice, once during a school field trip (that was years ago) and the other visit took place recently. It’s better to come early and line-​up to get tickets, the aquarium is not that big so if you go during peak hours it might get a little too crowded and it’ll be hard to get a good view of the exhibits.
The stars of the aquarium has to be the sharks, you can get a great view of these magnificent underwater beasts at the Oceanarium exhibit, which also happens to be the best part of Aquaria. I went through the Oceanarium a few times and each time I spotted different marine life in different size, colors and patterns. It was surprisingly colorful and it was always a surprise when the great white presented itself (even though I’ve seen it many times before). This is a great place to bring kids, I think that they would really enjoy seeing the different kind of fish and marine life displayed here.

When I was a kind, I dreamed to become an explorer someday. Travelling to the foreign regions and discovering some new species of living creatures. But I’m not that tough. I’m not willing to leave my comfort bed for a jungle.
So, the closest place that could makes me feels like an explorer is the Aquaria KLCC that located just beneath the Twin Tower. I’ve been there for couples of time already but still mesmerize with the places.
Basically, it’s a huge aquarium but considering there’re more than just sea creatures there, it practically a new whole world down there. Trust me, this place is worth your money. As for students, you might wanna regret if you don’t bring your student card along with you.

I’ve been talking a lot about KLCC and I have to say, there are quite a few things to see here. The Aquaria KLCC is one of them. It’s like a huge aquarium basically. It’s not that big though. To some it might be a plus point but to me, I really wished they had made it bigger so that everyone can enjoy the beautiful marine creatures more.
There are all types of fish here. Sharks, sting ray, seahorses, little Nemo (clown fish) and many more. You can enjoy looking at them as they swim above your head. It’s simply amazing to see them up close. The times that you need to look out for is the feeding times.
These times one for you to see. It’s so fun to see the fishes gathering around the food fed to them in the tank, especially the sting rays which seemed to almost jump out of the tank. The entrance fees are quite reasonable so why not give it a shot some time soon?

Aquaria was one of those places that I had heard of many many times but just never had the will to check out. For one, the admission fee felt a little steep (RM 40 for adults with MyKAD) and second, I wasn’t really interested in looking at fish.
All that changed when my toddler started learning about sea animals in her daycare, and started pestering me to visit the aquarium. So we went one day (on a weekday) to check it out. I must say, for a non fan, I was pleasantly surprised with the experience.
When we got there, the line was quite long but it moved very fast once the doors opened to the public. Aquaria was very well designed, and I liked that the place was just the right size, and stroller friendly to boot. My little toddler enjoyed shouting out the names of all the different fish and other sea animals she saw while the little baby marvelled away quietly in her stroller.
As someone who didn’t really want to go in the first place, I found the experience enjoyable. Actually learned a few interesting things along the way (like there are fish that look like dogs!). All in all, I would definitely go back. It is a great educational outing for kids and adults alike, and given the first class facilities, the price is definitely justified.

This is one of the attractions in Malaysia. You can see lots of deep ocean fish here. The fish that i was amazed is PIRANHA is real. Mannn i saw piranha with my eyes. okay okay before that the fees for entrance is RM38 for Malaysian while for foreigner RM50.
Aquaria has a good services they provided. They do the commentary and explain and have a feeding time. So that people will acknowledge those fish. Not just sightseeing. The most section i love is the Amazon area. I got the opportunity to see the Arapaima which is the biggest fish in amazon area.
after that you can see the shark in the tunnel. Not to forget you got to see the shovelnose ray and also biggest stingray which is known as the ribbon ray and the name for the stingray is KUDSIA. Aquaria has the longest tunnel in asia which is 1.8 m.
Not to miss, i got the opportunity to see the seahorse. it’s so incredible. I do read at the touchscreen which is they female will transfer the baby to male when she gets pregnant. woww right.
Last but not least, you can buy your souvenir for your family members, friends and your closed ones. they do sell t-​shirt aquaria, teddybears, colors, keychain and lots more.

Aquaria KLCC is such a fun place to visit. The first time I visited was when my boyfriend surprised me for my birthday. He knows i love animals and knew me well enough to know that i would be over the moon to visit Aquaria. We had such a blast and it was a really memorable birthday. We played with the bamboo sharks and yes you can touch them! we admired the stingrays and were awed by how weirdly unique they are. i mean think of it, what else looks like a stingray? I was also really obsessed with watching the piranhas. We all watched the movie piranha 4D right? freaky. And yes they move in the same scary manner and in schools of course.
I cant remember how much it was that we paid but i do know that now its RM50 without a mykad and if you have a mykad you pay RM38. A visit to Aquaria is so worth the money as we dont have many aquariums here in Malaysia. The only other one i’ve been at was at Langkawi.

I love fish since I am a little kid, so it’s like a dream come true. It cost a fortune but it really makes a eventful day. It is one of the highlights in Kuala Lumpur that you probably you won’t forget.
Aquaria KlCC is the first aquatic world I been to and I have to say I am loving every second. Aquaria KLCC has various fish species and some of them I don’t even know of their existence. One thing that I like the most is their aquarium interior design — a water tunnel are marvelous. You could never experience anything like this, shark, jelly fish, sting ray swimming above you. It’s like you’re under the sea. Come on! How often you could experience that? Not to mention, they have precise and delineate information to every species. You could probably find one of the biggest ‘sting ray’ here in Aquaria KLCC. Plus, they do have divers that feed them food as well.
How could I resist to this?

This is a great place to visit, for people of all ages!
For me, I found it the perfect place for a first or second date, since it is full of things to observe, so it will spark conversation.
There is a variety of animals, such as turtles, exotic fish, otters and even tiger sharks! Depending on the time you go you get to see the sharks and piranhas being fed, which can be quite interesting.
Check the schedule at
to see when the best time to visit is depending on what you would like to see —
. The ticket is 50RM and it is definetely worth it.

Luckily for me, I was given a free ticket bought by my friend on Groupon at only RM25 that cost half it’s original price! Being a diver myself, I have to say, this is one of the best aquariums I’ve ever been to. And I wasn’t even sad looking at the beautiful aquatic life. (I’ve been to one which had spray-​painted corals and tiny tanks for fishes)
They have schedules for feeding times and you should try to catch as many as you can because they are mostly at separate times and that’s when all the fishes come out to play! My favourites were The Stream — cute energetic otters that would perform tricks to be fed; The Deep Forest — a tube tank which was simply beautiful and captivating; and the Oceanarium — the 90 meter underwater tunnel where you stand on a moving belt that makes you feel like you are inside their world! They also have this huge glass window where divers would feed and all you do is sit on the floor in front of it and stare in awe like a little kid when the huge sting rays circle the glass and smile at you.
You’d see almost all bizarre and mysterious marine creatures from the deep, things that I don’t even see when I dive. We spent hours in here and I am really looking forward to visit again. The place is absolutely huge and you’d need the whole day to truly appreciate everything.
Do check out deals on Groupon because they always have good discounts.

Aquarium in KLCC is definitely an experience! It costs 50 RM, but you will have an eventful afternoon, I can assure you!
I haven’t been to many places like that before so I was definitely impressed. So many varieties of fishes and all the different animals in the water that I didn’t even know existed.
Sharks swimming above your head, jelly fishes, different shows and performances. And don’t think this is something for kids and family, it is something that can be enjoyed with a group of friends. What a blast! :)
