9 attractions to visit at KL Tower, Kuala Lumpur

A great masterpiece of modern Malaysian architecture is the KL Tower — Kuala Lumpur’s most recognisable structures at a height of 421 meters.

While controversial, we find that the KL Tower observation deck has better views than the Twin Towers because of its hilltop location. Aside from its main feature, the observation deck, it also has a number of side attractions. The 6D theater is recognised for its unique sensory experience, the Blue Coral Aquarium houses variety of marine species, while the rotating restaurant and F1 Simulator Zone features simple computer arcade activities, while allowing visitors to enjoy scrumptious snacks with a view.

Here are the nine attractions you have to try out when you’re visiting the KL Tower.

1. KL Forest Eco-Park

Despite the park being one of Malaysia’s oldest permanent forest reserves, the stunning 200-meter canopy walk at KL Forest Eco Park.

It is one of Kuala Lumpur’s newest attractions, offering visitors a wonderful aerial view of the treetops and the city beyond. Originally known as the Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve, the last remaining tropical rainforest inside the KL city boundaries is located in this park.

Entry fees: RM 12 (adult), RM 4 (child)

2. Blue Coral Aquarium

With the KL Tower tickets , visit the Blue Coral Aquarium with your family and friends. Discover numerous fish species there with an informed guide. Be mesmerised by strange fishes like young white tip reef sharks, Skunk clownfish, Percula clownfish, and more as you discover thousands of distinct marine species that live in an aquarium modeled after a rainforest.

Entry fees: RM 18 (tourist), RM 15 (Malaysians)

3. Upside Down House

Upside Down House is newest attraction at KL Tower.

Its concept will change how you view modern architecture. This two-story house is practically built upside down. The roof becomes your floor, while furniture hangs above your head.

Entry fees: RM 25 (adult), RM 18 (child)

4 . Mini Zoo

This attraction is ideal for both adults and children. Despite its relatively smaller size, it houses breathtaking exotic animals, including giant pythons, which you can wrap around your neck and snap pictures with. There are also a variety of parrots, adorable rabbits, and llamas, so stop by for some fluffy magic.

Entry fees: RM 33 (adult), RM 27 (child)

5. Sky Deck

The KL Tower’s Sky Platform, an open-air deck 300 meters above the surface of the planet, is without a doubt its finest achievement.

This location offers a 360-degree skyline perspective of Kuala Lumpur, giving you an unobstructed view of the city that will leave you in awe of its splendor. It’s perfect for any type of photoshoot and is totally Instagrammable. However, access is prohibited during lightning warnings.

Entry fees: Adult: RM 93 (tourist), RM 61 (Malaysians); child: RM 51 (tourist), RM 34 (Malaysians)

Note: Entry to Sky Box is included

If you want an adrenaline rush, you can take it to the next level by visiting Sky Box.

It is an added treat on the Sky Deck and a strange experience. Both magnificent and slightly disturbing describe The Sky Box. These boxes, which are actually large glass boxes with protruding glass so you can view what’s below you, are two in number and are located on the deck. You are urged to give it a try because it is risk-free.

Entry fees: Adult: RM 93 (tourist), RM 61 (Malaysians); child: RM 51(tourist), RM 34 (Malaysians)

7. Observation Deck

If you’re afraid of heights or simply prefer the indoors, the Observation Deck will be a more appropriate attraction that the Sky Deck. Its elevation of 276 meters offers a unique view that is worthwhile for a photoshoot.

Entry fees: Adult: RM 48 (tourist), RM 26 (Malaysians); child: RM 30 (tourist), RM 16 (Malaysians)

8. Jelutong Tree

Don’t forget to take advantage of the outdoors during your visit by marveling at the 100-year-old mammoth.

The gigantic Jelutong tree, also known by its botanical name Dyera Costulata. is located to the left of the entrance. This species is solely native to Southeast Asia and is a member of the Apocynaceae family.

Fun fact: to avoid ruining this beauty which existed before the construction of the KL Tower, various modifications to its blueprints were made.

Entry fee: No Fee

9. Tower Facade Lighting

One of the most stunning things you will see while visiting the KL Tower is the illumination on the tower facade. From a distance of 10 kilometers away, the lights may be seen reaching all the way to the summit of the tower. The tower occasionally changes its lighting to demonstrate its support for the events occurring throughout the world.

Entry Fee: No Fee

Location: No. 2 Jalan Punchak Off, Jalan P Ramlee, 50250 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Opening hours: 9am-11pm

Guide To KL Tower: Malaysia’s Landmark With Panoramic City Views, A New Revolving Restaurant & Hiking Trails

KL Tower in Kuala Lumpur

Even as a local, you’ve probably glanced up at Kuala Lumpur Tower and wondered “what’s so special” about the building. It isn’t the tallest tower in KL – the 5th, to be precise – nor does it contain a shiny mall with rows of branded shops to magnet visitors on its ground floor.

But it stands next to Petronas Twin Towers as an iconic symbol of the city for multiple reasons beyond just providing telecommunication services. It boasts several attractions that both the adults and kiddos will enjoy – from an observation deck with a “glass box”, to KL’s highest revolving restaurant .

Here’s our guide to all you can do and see at KL Tower.

Table of Contents

Soak up views of KL’s skyline at the observation & sky decks

Face your fear of heights at tower walk 100, dine at kl’s highest restaurant, aras, go on a hike at kl forest eco park, what you need to know before heading to kl tower, marvel at kl’s beauty at the city’s iconic kl tower.

Kuala Lumpur Tower, also known to locals as KL Tower or Menara Kuala Lumpur, comprises three zones in its building. First, there’s the upper ground level, or lobby, where you’ll find souvenir shops, ticketing counters, and elaborate glass-clad domes overhead.

Guide to KL Tower in Malaysia - aerial view

Then there’s the 22-storey tower shaft, which holds 4 high-speed elevators and stairs with a whopping total of 2,058 steps. These take you up to the tower’s head, where you’ll find the skyscraper’s main attractions – the Observation Deck and Sky Deck.

Now, you’re probably wondering what the difference is between the two decks – they’re both panoramic platforms after all. The answer is: they offer unblocked city views from different levels of the tower’s head, at different price points.

Observation Deck

Guide to KL Tower in Malaysia - view of KL

The Observation Deck at KL Tower is set 276 metres – about 84 storeys – above ground level. It’s an indoor and air-conditioned zone that encircles the tower’s head, with wide windows and free binoculars for a zoomed in view of the surrounding Klang Valley.

If you have a fear of heights, but still want to enjoy the views, we recommend this panoramic platform over the next platform.

Opening hours: 9am-10pm, Daily

The Sky Deck , on the other hand, is located 300 metres above ground level and is set outdoors – so there’ll be no windows standing between you and the 360° skyline view. KL Tower is open daily from 9am-10pm , so you can opt to come up here in the evenings to get one of the best unblocked sunset views in the city.

Guide to KL Tower in Malaysia - glass box

Tickets to the Sky Deck will include access to the Observation Deck and also a Sky Box . The latter is an area that protrudes from the Sky Deck, with glass floors and walls that – you’ll feel like there’s literally nothing between you and the city below and around you.

Guide to KL Tower in Malaysia - Tower Walk 100

If you have a craving for a heart-racing activity in the city, there’s Tower Walk 100 at KL Tower.

It’s a newer attraction in the building that offers the same unblocked views of the city from the observation decks. The main difference is that you’ll be harnessed in and stepping out onto a glass and metal platform at the edge of KL Tower, with no barriers around you whatsoever.

There are some things that you should take note of if you’re coming by to try this activity. First, all guests must wear flat, laced-up footwear and pants. Kids under the age of 4 years old will have to sit this activity out, while those under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult.

You’ll also have to book your tickets for this at least 1 day in advance.

Guide to KL Tower in Malaysia - revolving restaurant

We Malaysians love our superlatives. Here’s a new one for us to check out – ARAS , the highest and only revolving restaurant in KL. This newly-opened restaurant inside KL Tower replaces Atmosphere 360, with the same revolving concept located 282 metres above ground level.

You’ll get to dine on a buffet spread of traditional Malay dishes, as well as Japanese and Chinese cuisines, on a rotating platform that gives you a true 360° view of KL’s skyline, including the Petronas Twin Towers.

Guide to KL Tower in Malaysia - ARAS Restaurant

The restaurant now welcomes diners for high-tea and dinner buffets. The first is available between 3pm and 5.30pm, with dinner served after. Do note that there is an additional fee of RM50 to fork out if you want to snag one of the coveted window seats during dinner service.

The prices for the buffets at ARAS are as follows:

Opening hours: Fri-Tue, 2.30pm-11pm (Closed Wednesdays & Thursdays)

Guide to KL Tower in Malaysia - canopy walk

It’s not all views of KL’s skyscrapers at KL Tower. If have your walking shoes on, here’s another activity for you to check out while you’re here – KL Forest Eco Park , or Taman Eko Rimba KL, which has a forest trail with an entrance at the foot of the tower.

The park is the last piece of tropical rainforest in downtown KL and a habitat for local wildlife such as long-tailed macaques and silver leaf monkeys. Inside, you’ll also find a 200m-long and 20m-high canopy walkway , where you can get some of the best views of the surrounding greenery and also KL Tower.

Guide to KL Tower in Malaysia - hiking trail entrance

Exploring the park will take you around 30 minutes tops. If you’re up for a more serious, yet still beginner-friendly, trail, there are two main forest trails here – Jelutong, which is around 300m in elevation, and Merbau, which stands at around 361m.

How much does it cost to go up to KL Tower?

The main lobby of KL Tower is open to all to explore. But if you’re looking to check out the tower’s various attractions at its head, they come with individual admission fees. We rounded them all out below:

If you’re a Malaysian, be sure to bring along your Identity Card as you can get special prices for tickets.

How do I get to KL Tower?

There are several ways to get to KL Tower, if you’re opting for public transportation.

If you’re coming by train, you can get on the Kelana Jaya Line and alight at Dang Wangi LRT station. It’s an approximately 20-minute walk to KL Tower from there. You can also opt for an e-hailing vehicle from the LRT station – you can skip the walk uphill to the tower this way.

By bus, the GoKL City Bus stops at KL Tower on the Purple Route. This bus services both Malaysia residents for free and visitors for a small fee of RM1 per ride.

Those coming by private vehicle can find a parking spot at the foot of KL Tower. There are indoor and outdoor parking bays, with fees starting from RM4/hour.

Is there a dress code for KL Tower?

There’s no dress code to enter KL Tower’s panoramic platforms. Shorts and slippers are usually permitted to the decks. But if you’re opting for the Tower Walk 100, be sure to come in with proper covered shoes and long pants for safety reasons.

To enter the revolving restaurant at KL Tower, you’ll want to consider ditching the casual mamak ‘fits for more smart casual attire, as it is a fine dining restaurant.

When it comes to exploring KL’s must-visit attractions, KL Tower shouldn’t be left out of your itinerary. Whether you’re here to experience a revolving restaurant or just ogle at KL’s skyline and landscape, you can get a piece of it all here.

KL TOWER, KUALA LUMPUR – Your Complete Guide

KL Tower is one of the most impressive sights in Kuala Lumpur, and a must visit attraction for any visitors to the city. Standing at 421 meters, the tower can be seen from all over the city. While the nearby Petronas Twin Towers are a natural drawcard for visitors and locals alike, KL Tower, in my opinion, has even better panoramic views!

KL Tower, or Menara Kuala Lumpur Tower, is a telecommunications tower in Kuala Lumpur city. It stands at an impressive height of 421 meters, and is ranked the 7th tallest tower in the world. This is not to be confused with the “tallest buildings”, “tallest structures”, etc. The actual tallest “Tower” in the world is the Tokyo Skytree in Japan.

Construction on KL Tower began in 1991, and was completed in 1996. It is built on the beautiful Bukit Nanas, a hill in central Kuala Lumpur that is also home to several other tourist attractions, all of which can be visited as part of a trip to KL Tower.

Many visitors to KL Tower, myself included, will wonder at why it is only 421 Meters tall, yet from the Sky Deck you seem to be looking down upon the 451.6 meter tall Petronas Twin Towers . The reason for this is that KL Tower sits upon a hill, making its height an actual 515 meters above sea level. There is no wonder that I consider it to have the best views in Kuala Lumpur!

When you arrive at KL Tower, you will have the options for different tours of the tower itself. Each has a different price attached, and it is better to be prepared for this, rather than standing at the ticket window trying to decide.

Basically, you can buy a ticket to the Observation Deck, or go all the way with a ticket to the Sky Deck, which includes admission to the Observation Deck, as well as photos in the Sky Box. I will explain a little more about each a bit later in this Guide to KL Tower.

You can also bundle your ticket with admission to a few of the other attractions around the hill at the base of KL Tower. They can be fun add on’s, to make the most of your day.

Here are the ticket prices at time of writing. (2022)

Observation Deck

International Visitor: RM 49 Adult, RM 29 Child
Malaysian Visitor: RM 30 Adult, RM 20 Child

Sky Deck (Includes Observation Deck and Sky Box)

International Visitor: RM 99 Adult, RM 52 Child
Malaysian Visitor: RM 71 Adult, RM 37 Child

Observation Deck + Upside Down House

International Visitor: RM 55 Adult, RM 36 Child
Malaysian Visitor: RM 36 Adult, RM 26 Child

Malaysian Visitor: RM 47 Adult, RM 38 Child

Observation Deck + Blue Coral Aquarium

International Visitor: RM 52 Adult, RM 31Child
Malaysian Visitor: RM 31 Adult, RM 22 Child

Observation Deck and XD Theatre

All the combination ticket options above are able to be customized to include the Sky Deck instead of the Observation Deck. Make an enquiry on the day.

This isn’t as easy as getting to Petronas Twin Towers, as they are located at KLCC. While in Kuala Lumpur, I was reminded of the saying, “all roads lead to Rome”. In KL, it almost seems as if everything leads to KLCC. It is a very easy place to find.

Not so much for KL Tower, and Bukit Nanas that it sits on top of. The good news? KL Tower isn’t actually too far from anything, so getting there isn’t that much of a hassle. In fact, I visited the tower on two occasions, and both times I walked from KLCC. it is only about 20 – 25 minutes, and mostly flat or downhill. Just make sure that when you reach the entrance at the bottom of Bukit Nanas, that you either take the shuttle up to the Tower, or the stairs that are hidden behind the signs as you enter. They cut the uphill slog down considerably.

Grab and Taxi would be the next choice, and you can get them to take you all the way to the base of the tower, so that makes it really easy.

If you want to take public transport, the best two options would be Bus 79, U24 stop Menara KL.

Otherwise, jump on the monorail and head to the Bukit Nanas station.

Neither option are perfect, however, as you still have a walk ahead of you, and have to get up the hill to the tower itself.

What to expect at KL Tower

Once you arrive at the foot of the tower, you will head toward the stairs through a small security gate. This is a simple Xray such as you might walk through at the airport, although without all the bells and whistles. Proceed up the stairs to the first level, where you will find a ticket counter, and a small bank of self service ticket machines. If there is a line for the counter, then I can tell you that the self service is very easy to use. As a matter of fact, when I was there, the attendant offered to help and did it all for me. So much for self service!

All you really have to do here is choose what ticket package you require. The best is to pay the RM 99 for the Sky Deck access, which also gives access to the Observation Deck and Sky Box. Even if you are not interested in these, the Sky Deck gives the very best, uninterrupted views of the city and surrounds. And that is why you are there, right?

Take your ticket and head to the line into the tower. Your ticket will be checked by an attendant, and you will be directed to the appropriate elevator. It’s as simple as that.

I was rather taken aback at the lack of security and how relaxed everything is at KL Tower. Especially after being at Petronas Twin Towers, and having to jump through many more hoops, security everywhere, Xray machines etc etc. It seems like KL Tower is the poor cousin in the scenario, and all the attention is given to the Twin Towers. Which is wrong, as KL Tower is such a wonderful experience. I couldn’t help but draw comparisons to the similar scenario between Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower.

On the level you buy your tickets, there are a few restaurants and gift shops. Keep this in mind if you are looking for lunch afterwards, because the café up top, and especially the Atmosphere 360 Restaurant, were made for those that arrived in a Lamborghini, not by bus.

One thing you should be aware of before heading to KL Tower, is that access to the Sky Deck and the Sky Boxes are weather dependent. During bad weather, and especially storms with lightning, they will be closed. So check before you go.

If you got a ticket for the Sky Deck, then your elevator will take you there, though you may stop first at the Observation Deck to drop off some passengers. Once at the Sky Deck, head to your left where you will scan your ticket again, and head through a door onto the Deck itself.

This observation platform is amazing. Simply put, it is an open air deck that runs completely around the top of the Tower, giving mostly uninterrupted views of the city and surrounds. On a clear day you can see for miles!

The edge of the deck is protected by a glass fence, plastered with warnings not to lean on it. I don’t know why you would really want to, even though beyond the fence is a smaller wire fence and a bit of infrastructure anyway.

Make your way around the deck and take photos as you go. I was able to use my Insta360 on selfie stick, which was great, seeing as at Petronas Twin Towers it is against the rules to take selfie sticks or tripods up the tower. You can get some really amazing photos from this tower, and can do so without having to peer through glass to do it. Panoramas are great too, without window struts to break the shot apart.

Midway around the tower, on either side, are two Sky Box’s. These are glass boxes that you can get inside of to take some pretty great photos feeling like you are in mid air. Be aware that there might be a decent sized line up though, and security are strict. You will have to take off your shoes to enter the box, and the time taken to do so eats into your actual allocated time IN the box. So at the end, you may get some very rushed shots.

This is ok, seeing as you already paid for the use of the box. My tip is to get up the tower early, and on a weekday to cut down crowds. I have been up there during periods with hardly anyone else, but I think that is luck more than really good management. And EVERYONE wants a shot for the Gram in that box!

One of the boxes faces the Petronas Twin Towers, and is obviously the most popular box. The second faces what was once just boring city, albeit with great views. Now, though, it also faces the new Merdeka 118, the second highest building in the world. So why not opt for that, rather than the shot everyone else is getting?

Also up top you will find a small café, that is bound to be packed out, if it is open at all. It is located right next to the “Petronas” box, so personally I stayed right away from it.

Once you are finished on the Sky Deck, you can head down to the Observation Deck. To be truthful, once you have seen the views from upstairs, you get a little “blah” with seeing it all from lower and through glass. Even the big binoculars didn’t really entice me.

I personally opted on my last visit to just skip it and head straight back to the bottom. There are a lot more people on the observation deck, as you have all those that just opted for the cheaper ticket as well. So more people equals more crowd, and that means more people trying to catch the lift. Fun times.

Once again, with the lack of security, on my last visit there weren’t even lift attendants for the trip down. I called the lift myself, and with a few others just made our way down and out of the tower!

Once at the bottom, you emerge among the restaurants once again, and pass by a couple of gift shops. Have a good look around, and if you bought a combination ticket with another attraction, you can head there back down the stairs you came up.

One note about the Atmosphere 360 Revolving Restaurant. Personally I have not been up there and eaten. From all reports, and I can only imagine, it is expensive. Check it out if you like, and maybe you can let me know!

In recent times, the local tourism board have done their best to try and promote tourism to KL Tower. In my opinion, the views speak for themselves, but with everyone going to the more popular Petronas Twin Towers across the way, I can understand their thinking.

This is why Bukit Nanas has now become home to several other attractions. All of these can be combined with a tour of the tower itself as a “Combo Package”. See the pricing above for further details.

For now, let’s take a look at what there is to offer in the immediate vicinity of KL Tower.

The Canopy Walk through KL Forest Eco Park – This impressive walkway is made from 200 meters of suspension bridges that stretch above the rainforest that covers Bukit Nanas. Try this walk when you leave the tower, and you can exit the Eco Park at the road entrance below.
The Mini Zoo – This small but fun little petting zoo is great for the kids, both big and small. Have the chance to get up close and personal with rabbits, llamas, parrots, and even hang a couple of pythons around your neck!
The Upside down ho u se – This is the newest addition to attractions on Bukit Nanas, but is also one of the most fun. A completely upside down house sits near the entrance to the Tower carpark. Inside, all the furniture and contents are also upside down. A visit will make for some great photos!
Jelutong Tree – This massive tree sits right on top of the hill, and not too far from the base of KL Tower. It is 100 years old, and is held in such high regard that the original plans for construction of the tower had to be changed as to not upset it. As they should be!
Blue Coral Aquarium – A small aquarium set on the ground floor of KL Tower, that is home to many species of tropical fish including the ever popular clown fish. Come and visit Nemo!

If you are visiting KL Tower, and want to stay in the neighborhood, then I have good news for you. There is plenty to do around the area. This is the central part of Kuala Lumpur, and one of the reasons that I love it is because everything is so close! I don’t mind walking, and found that most things were only 20 minutes apart. In many big cities around the world, you could be walking for hours!

Add to this the free bus service that gets around the main city areas, monorail and trains, and you have no reason to miss out on anything. Here is a list of some of the top things to do around Kuala Lumpur and KL Tower.

Petronas Twin Towers – It goes without saying that if you enjoyed the views on KL Tower, then you will love them at the Twin Towers. The Skybridge is unique just in itself!
KLCC Park – This beautiful park right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur has a great jogging track around the entire circumference, an amazingly huge kids playground, fountains, lakes, mischievous squirrels and even free filtered water fountains!
The KLCC Dancing Fountains – Come down to the park at night time, and right below the towers you can see an amazing fountain show. The lake comes alive to a colorful symphony as the fountains dance in perfect choreography.
Jalan Alor – The most popular street in the city for finding a bite to eat at night. If you like Thai food, or Seafood in particular, then this is your spot!
Pavilion Shopping Precinct – One of the premier spots to shop till you drop in Kuala Lumpur. I was impressed by the shops, but to tell the truth, I kept returning for the food court!
Chinatown – The place to find all of your knock off handbags, jewelry, shoes and t-shirts.
Central Markets – The best place to find all the rest of your souvenirs in Kuala Lumpur!

Where to stay for KL Tower

There are plenty of places to stay around KL Tower, and between it and Petronas Twin Towers you will find some of the premier hotels in the city. Here are my picks for the best places to stay within easy reach of KL Tower.

These suites are not only rated above 4 stars, but are also so close to the tower that you could almost touch it. With a rooftop pool and dining, and built right beside the rainforest eco park, how could you go wrong?

Luxury plus, the Shangri-La at Kuala Lumpur is set right beside the KL Tower Precinct, and only 1km from the Petronas Twin Towers. The best of both worlds!

The popular Holiday Inn Express is only a couple of minutes stroll from the base of Bukit Nanas, where you can take the shuttle up to KL Tower. It is also a quick 10 minute walk to the Twin Towers, Pavilion Shopping Centre, and KLCC Park.

If you are in, or going to visit Kuala Lumpur, then you have to take the time to visit KL Tower. It has the best views of the entire city, and offers solutions for a full days activities. You will not be disappointed!

17 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Kuala Lumpur

Written by Diana Bocco Updated Dec 23, 2023 We may earn a commission from affiliate links ( )

Malaysia's capital and largest city has much to offer visitors, regardless of their interests. A cosmopolitan metropolis with a significant religious influence, Kuala Lumpur is filled with high-end shopping opportunities and plenty of exciting things to do and places to explore. For many people, it's a starting point for exploring Malaysia .

The famous Petronas Twin Towers are not the only marvel here, though they are certainly the city's most visited attraction. Kuala Lumpur's cultural diversity means there are also plenty of festivals to enjoy here, including the Thaipusam celebration, which includes a procession that walks all the way to the Batu Caves, another well-known tourist destination.

For more ideas on how to spend your time and things to do while visiting, see our list of top tourist attractions in Kuala Lumpur.

Kuala Lumpur's most recognizable landmark is its twin towers, built of reinforced concrete, steel, and glass. Once the tallest towers in the world, the twin skyscrapers remain the tallest twin buildings in the world . At 88 floors tall, the towers are not only Kuala Lumpur's most visible structure, but also a beautiful mix of postmodern style and Islamic art details.

The towers are connected by a sky bridge on the 41st and 42nd floors . While the sky bridge is a major tourist attraction, the main reason for its existence isn't the spectacular views you can get from it-instead, the bridge provides structural support to the towers as they sway during high-wind days, as well as a fire escape route if one of the towers ever has an emergency and needs to be evacuated.

Although most of the floors on the towers are privately rented, the lower floors house the Suria KLCC, an upscale shopping center with over 300 shops, as well as an art gallery, a science center, the Philharmonic Hall, and other attractions. The towers are particularly striking at night, when they are shining bright against the ever-changing urban landscape.

KLCC Park, located at the feet of the Petronas Twin Towers, is Kuala Lumpur's largest urban park, a 50-acre sanctuary for both humans and animals.

The park was designed to blend with its surroundings by combining man-made structures, such as sculptures and fountains, with over 2,000 different species of palms and indigenous flora. The trees here were selected through a complex system to ensure they attract both local and migratory birds, promote biodiversity, and provide a wide range of stunning colors and shapes to the design of the park.

KLCC's main attraction is Lake Symphony , a massive lake with a 43-meter bridge cutting across it and a number of fountains, including one that can shoot water 180 meters up into the sky and offers light and music shows twice a day. The fountain is particularly impressive at night, when you can truly appreciate the changing colors against the background of the illuminated Petronas Towers.

The park also offers a 1.3-kilometer-long rubberized jogging path, a wading pool, a two-acre children's playground , and plenty of photo opportunities among the landscaped trails that crisscross the park.

A Victoria crowned pigeon at the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

A spectacular tropical aviary covering 20.9 acres, the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is not only one of the world's largest covered bird parks, but also an important research center for scientists studying the behavioral patterns of certain species that are difficult to observe in the wild. Most of the over 2,000 birds here are local species, although about 10 percent were imported from as far away as Tanzania and Europe.

The park is divided into four zones, with Zone 4 being one of the most popular because of its walk-in parrot enclosure, its flightless bird exhibit (which include the deadly Cassowary), a feeding station that allows visitors to come in direct contact with some of the birds, and a 30-foot high waterfall .

The park also houses an amphitheater for 350 people that offers bird shows and an education area with presentations to teach guests about birds, endangered species, and more.

Traditional Chinese steamed buns for sale on Petaling Street

Kuala Lumpur's one-street Chinatown starts behind a large arch announcing its name and extends all the way to the Chan See Shu Yuen Temple, one of Malaysia's oldest Buddhist temples . The entire street is covered by a green roof, affectionately known by the locals as "Green Dragon"-a perfect shield from the heavy summer rains and the hot sun during the mid-afternoon hours.

Petaling Street is also a popular destination for street food , and both locals and tourists come here to grab spices, ingredients, and specialties such as salted roast duck or Hokkien mee, a Southeast Asian dish made up of noodles, fried eggs, and a mix of meats.

For those with a less adventurous stomach, there's also plenty to buy here-from street stalls selling toys and imitation brands to a Chinese bookstore, souvenirs, and much more.

Once the cricket green of the local Selangor Club, this massive open park square is now a popular spot for rallies, public events, and the National Day Parade. A 100-meter-tall flagpole commemorates the raising of the first Malayan flag here in 1957.

The city's most famous historical colonial buildings line up the streets around the square-and many are open to visitors or make for beautiful photo backgrounds.

The Sultan Abdul Samad Building , heavily influenced by Moorish style, houses the Ministry of Information, Communication, and Culture of Malaysia, while the nearby Kuala Lumpur City Gallery tells the story of the city through miniature models and innovative exhibits.

You'll also find a Victorian-era fountain here, where people often congregate to relax, as well as St. Mary's Church, one of Malaysia's oldest churches. The National Textile Museum , home to displays of traditional costumes and batik, is just a few steps away.

A white tiger at the Sunway Lagoon Theme Park

Located a 45-minute drive outside Kuala Lumpur, this multi-themed amusement park offers almost 100 different rides and attractions spread over 88 acres.

While Sunway started as a water park, it now also includes five additional zones: an Amusement Park (with rollercoasters, carousels and other rides); a Wildlife Park, a Scream Park with a massive haunted house; an Extreme Park (where you'll find ATV rides, bungee jumping, and paintball); and an area known as Nickelodeon's Lost Lagoon, which is specially designed for the younger visitors.

The park can be easily accessed via public transportation, and it offers a number of festivals throughout the year, including the very popular Nights of Fright during the entire month of October.

One of the tallest freestanding towers in the world and the tallest in Southeast Asia, the KL Tower reaches 421 meters into the sky, and it's primarily used as a TV and communications tower, an Islamic falak observatory, and a viewpoint over the city.

Visitors can make their way up to the revolving restaurant or the open-air observation platform, which is located 300 meters above the ground and can be reached by elevator in just under a minute.

There are several attractions inside the tower, including an upside-down funhouse museum; a small aquarium; a souvenir shop offering high-quality handicrafts; and the Sky Box, a glass box that extends out from the Sky Deck and offers unobstructed views of the city in every direction-including under your feet.

Malaysia's most important cultural and heritage museum, this three-story museum holds collections that include everything from traditional weapons to historical wedding apparel to restored outdoor structures. The museum sits on the space that was once occupied by the Selangor Museum, destroyed by an air bombing during WWII.

Some of the museum's most interesting exhibits are located outdoors and include a 19th-century timber palace built using Terengganu Malay architecture and a number of traditional horse-drawn carriages and early motorized vehicles.

Inside the museum, visitors can get a glimpse of the colonial history of the country and the fight for independence, as well as the Hindu-Buddhist heritage of the nation in the form of stunning bronze and stone sculptures .

Colorful Malaysian kites for sale at the Central Market

While Kuala Lumpur has its share of upscale shopping centers, this traditional market is where you'll find some of the best items in the city.

Located inside an Art Deco Heritage Site building dating back to the 19 th century, the market is arranged in a stall format, with small open shops offering a mismatched mix of everything from traditional Malaysian handicrafts and batik textiles to pewter and silver items.

Malaysia is also well known for ornamental wood carvings and pottery, both of which are well represented at the market.

Right to the side of the building, there's the colorful Kasturi Walk, an open-air flea market that complements Central Market with sales of local snacks, clothing and shoes, souvenirs, and more. Live performances and music can often be found here as well. Come prepared to haggle over prices, as this is expected and very much part of the fun here.

Butterfly on hibiscus blossoms at the Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park

The largest butterfly park in the world is home to over 5,000 butterflies and covers an area of 7,500 square meters. The butterflies are free inside a walk-in area covered by a canopy and it requires patience and a keen eye to find them resting on flowers and ferns as you walk through the jungle paths. You can also visit a breeding area to see butterfly larvae and a large live insect exhibit, where you'll find rhinoceros beetles, the largest beetles in the world.

The Butterfly Park sits next to the Perdana Botanical Gardens , a colonial-era park that covers 91.6 hectares and is located just minutes away from the National Museum.

If you have some extra time to explore, the gardens are worth a visit as well and feature a sunken garden surrounded by pergolas, a herbarium, an orchid garden, and a two-hectare enclosure home to fallow deer.

The Batu Caves are just 13 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur and can be reached via an easy and picturesque train ride from KL's main train station. The caves, set inside stunning limestone hills, are an important Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Murugan, the god of war. Right outside the entrance, a 43-meter-tall statue of Murugan-the tallest of its kind in the world -welcomes visitors.

Although there are three caves here, most visitors come for the main one, Cathedral Cave -a 91-meter-tall cave with stunning stalactite formations that can be reached after climbing 272 steps on a massive stone staircase.

Inside, you'll find a Hindu chapel and beautiful rock formations illuminated by sunlight coming through the breaks on the ceiling. Batu's second-largest cave, Dark Cave , is a protected space and can only be accessed with a tour.

The last section of the cave requires taking part in a special adventure tour and involves a lot of crawling, twisting, and getting dirty and wet-and hopefully spotting a number of large spiders, bats, and other animals.

Kuala Lumpur's shopping and entertainment district encompasses several streets and a number of shopping centers, street markets , and many upscale cafés and restaurants. This is the area where many major celebrations take place during the year, including the New Year's countdown and the St. Patrick's Day parade and festivities.

One of the main attractions in the area is the Berjaya Times Square shopping mall , which covers 330,000 square meters of retail space and is home to one of the largest indoor amusement parks in Asia , complete with a number of thrill rides and even a looping roller coaster. Starhill Gallery, the city's most posh mall, is also located in this area.

The Bukit Bintang Shopping District has also become well known for spa-related services , especially massages and reflexology, as well as a number of themed restaurants offering foreign cuisine in open-air spaces, including a "dining in the dark" experience.

The Istana Negara is the official residence of Malaysia's monarch. The name can be confusing to visitors, as there are actually two Istana Negara locations. The new Istana Negara is a massive 98-hectare palace complex with golden domes. Although the palace itself is closed to the public, its main arched gate is a favorite spot for visitors.

The old Istana Negara (the official royal residence until 2011) is now partially open to the public and houses the Royal Museum, where visitors can walk through 22 former palace spaces, including the royal sleeping chamber, a dining hall, and the Balairung Seri room (where the King would receive visitors).

Unique rooms included a royal dental clinic, a laundry room, and a cinema regularly showing short clips. Guided tours are offered by former palace guards.

A stunningly visual mix of Ottoman and Malay architectural styles, this massive mosque and its turquoise and gold domes are a beauty to photograph. Modeled after the Blue Mosque in Turkey, the Wilayah Mosque is open to everybody and offers free tours to anybody interested in learning about the local people, culture, and religion (Malaysia is about 60 percent Muslim).

While you cannot venture around the mosque on your own, the guides will be more than happy to stop by the most beautiful spots so you can photograph the geometric patterns, try to capture the grandeur of the main prayer hall, and breathe in the beauty of the courtyard.

An important cultural and national center for Indian immigrants, this 19th-century temple is best known for its colorful 23-meter-tall gopuram (tower). Designed as a five-tiered pyramid, it's decorated with statues and reliefs of Hindu gods.

The temple is dedicated to Mariamman, a manifestation of the goddess who embodies Mother Earth. While visitors mostly stop by to take pictures of the stunning outside of the building, the inside is equally richly decorated and beautiful.

During the months of January/February, the temple becomes the center of the celebration of the Thaipusam festival, where a silver chariot is brought out from the temple to join a march of believers all the way to the Batu Caves.

This 500-meter-long street section is Kuala Lumpur's must-visit food destination – especially at night, when it truly comes alive with smells and flavors. An absolute favorite among the locals, Jalan Alor has the benefit of offering a culinary experience without the touristy prices. Whether you're after sit-down restaurants or street food stalls, this is the place to visit if you don't mind crowds.

Noodle-based dishes and grilled foods rule in Jalan Alor, with some places offering unconventional dishes, focusing on seafood or doing only high-spice meals. There are also plenty of small shops selling clothes and knick-knacks here, as well as walk-in foot massage places around. Both shops and restaurants usually stay open until at least midnight.

Less than two blocks away is Jalan Alor Street Art 1, a pedestrian street famous for its colorful murals, trick 3D paintings on buildings, and great Instagram spots.

If you're craving waterfront views of the city skyline on your visit to Kuala Lumpur, this massive 95-hectare park built around a lake won't disappoint. It offers plenty of recreational activities, including canoeing, horse riding, tennis courts, and jogging tracks.

The park also houses a Remote Control (RC) Car track and a viewing tower, and there are sometimes live events organized here. Even on quiet days, you can always have a quick picnic here after visiting the National Art Gallery, just a few blocks away.

Luxury Hotels:

In a great Golden Triangle location, within walking distance of top shopping, restaurants, and attractions, the new EQ Kuala Lumpur is a re-brand of the original Hotel Equatorial Kuala Lumpur. The 5-star property offers a mix of rooms and suites with a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Many have fantastic city skyline views.

What to do there: Pass the fearsome temple guards and lions to enter the complex and go to the back of the temple for a closer peek at the formidable wooden statue of Guan Di. Two other statues stand near the golden-faced God of War: Guan Ping (Guan Di’s godson) and Zhou Cang (Guan Di’s standard bearer). You can also see various other statues depicting Chinese gods and goddesses, including Guan Yin, Wen Chong, and Choy Sun. Try and lift the Guan Dao, thought to have magical powers, and take lots of photos of the glorious building, with its embellished roof and dragon pillars.

#21 – Putrajaya – A very cool place in Kuala Lumpur to go for a day

Striking mosque
Lovely lake
Lesser-visited destination
Wildlife-filled wetlands

Why it’s awesome: Although technically a different area of Malaysia to Kuala Lumpur, the nearby city of Putrajaya is well worth visiting for a day from the Malaysian capital. It is home to a wealth of attractions and activities and sees relatively few foreign tourists. There are beautiful natural areas to discover, unusual architectural gems, historical sights, great shopping spots, and more. Putrajaya is the federal administrative centre of Malaysia and it is easy to reach from KL by bus or car.

What to do there: Visit the impressive Putra Mosque, open to non-Muslims, and admire the dusky-pink dome and interiors as well as the towering minarets. If you’re into unusual architecture, head to the Moroccan Pavilion. Showing the strong relationship between the two nations, the stunning pavilion showcases beautiful North African designs, with the finishing details completed by Moroccan artisans. Other interesting landmarks in Putrajaya include the prime minister’s official home of Seri Perdana, the Millennium Monument, the resort-style royal retreat of Istana Melawati, the Palace of Justice, and Perdana Putra.

Stand in Putra Square and National Heroes Square, learn more about the country’s natural treasures at the Natural History Museum, and shop till you drop in Alamanda Putrajaya. Nature lovers shouldn’t miss Putrajaya Lake, China-Malaysia Friendship Garden, Putrajaya Wetlands Park, and the Botanical Gardens, while attractions like Putrajaya Equestrian Park and Putrajaya Water Sports Complex add an extra thrill to your trip.

#22 – Brickfields – Cool place to see in Kuala Lumpur with friends!

Kuala Lumpur’s colourful Little India
Many religious buildings
Great places to eat
Fantastic shopping opportunities

Why it’s awesome: Brickfields is Kuala Lumpur’s Little India, home to people from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and other nearby countries. Many residents are descendants of workers brought to Malaysia by the British. Vibrant and lively, visitors would be forgiven for thinking that they had somehow been transported to the large and diverse India when wandering around Brickfields. Shops sell traditional Indian items and there’s an abundance of tasty Indian dishes. There are numerous interesting places of worship too.

What to do there: Hear modern Bollywood tunes coming from shops and take a peek inside to shop for saris, bangles, amulets, spices, and other Indian goods. Head into the large bazaar for even more fantastic shopping. Stop into a local restaurant for a banana leaf curry or other spicy speciality. Snap a picture or two of the pretty Vivekananda Ashram and visit serene places of worship like the Tamil Methodist Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Absorb the enticing Indian spirit without leaving the Malaysian capital.

#23 – Titiwangsa Lake Gardens – A beautiful and scenic place to check out in Kuala Lumpur

Great place for leisure
Varied activities
Peaceful and quiet

Why it’s awesome: Titiwangsa Lake Gardens is a large public park with a number of shimmering lakes. Covering 235 acres (95 hectares), more than 50% of the park is lakes. The large lake was created during tin mining activities in the colonial days, and the area was later turned into a pleasant park. There are various activities, both on the water and on dry land, and it’s a nice place to relax and unwind for a couple of hours.

What to do there: Appreciate the pretty lake views and take to the waters for canoeing, kayaking, aqua biking, and rowing. Stroll around the water’s edge and get active with horse riding and jogging. You can also have heaps of fun at the radio controlled car track, which is especially popular with kids and teens. There are places to buy refreshments and great spots throughout the park for a picnic.

KL Tower – Top attraction in Kuala Lumpur

Posted on Last updated: October 6, 2020

Categories Uncategorized

Kuala Lumpur Tower (KL Tower, Menara Kuala Lumpur) is the iconic architecture feature in every postcard and printed materials about Kuala Lumpur. It was completed on 1 March 1995 as the telecommunication tower and subsequently evolved to become one of the must-visit places for tourists.

KL Towers rise above all the skyscrapers with 421 meters. Today, it is still the tallest telecommunications tower in Asia, and seventh in the world

Entrances to KL Tower

Since KL Tower is located within the KL Forest Eco Park, there a few entrances you can choose.

The main entrance of KL Towe r is the most popular choice, which you can drive and park in its parking area.
The second entrance is from Jalan Bukit Nenas after you walk pass The Cathedral of St. John and St. John Institution. The downside is, there are no parking lots nearby and quite a distance from the train and bus station.
Another entrance is near the junction of Jalan Ampang and Jalan Sultan Ismail. This entrance is the easiest way to get to KL Tower if you are using the MRT, as the Bukit Nenas station is at the junction. The entrance to the KL Eco Park is about one hundred meters after turning into Jalan Ampang.

The Jalan Ampang option is not the direct access to KL Tower, as you have to walk through the trails through the park to reach the KL Tower (about 20 minutes). However, it is perfect for anyone who likes nature and plans to visit the park during the same trip.

Japan Ampang entrance to KL Forest Eco Park

The Sky Deck

The Sky Deck is located at the roof level, which is the main attraction of KL Tower. It is at 300 meters above ground level, with no rooftop and obstruction.

The best time to visit KL Tower is in the evening. You can enjoy the panoramic scenery of Kuala Lumpur, have dinner at the Atmosphere 360 revolving restaurant and taking some incredible night view of the city. Make sure to bring along the tripod to take photos of the brightly lit skyline.

Over here, you can get the best view of the Petronas Twin Tower.

There was a little hazy at the time I visited the Sky Deck, but still, manage to get some extraordinary view of the KL skyline.

The unique glass box experience

You will be given a ticket when you take the lift to Sky Deck. Since there are only two glass boxes, you are allowed to be in the box for a limited time when your ticket number is called.

There are two glass boxes at the Sky Deck. The glass boxes are protruded out from the edge of the tower. You know that it is safe, but your eyes trick you. Take a deep breath before you step forward. Are you mad?

Observation deck

The observation deck is located below the Skydeck, which is enclosed with large glass panels. It is 276 meters above ground level, and still one of the best places to enjoy the stunning and thrilling view of the bustling city.

Note : Since the glass is slightly tinted, plus the reflection of the light inside the observation deck, you will not get a clear view, especially at night. Go up to the Sky Deck to get the incredible view.

KL Forest Eco Park

KL Forest Eco Park (formerly known as Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve), is a micro-sized rain forest in the heart of the city. It’s perhaps the tiniest forest reserve in Malaysia.

It is a real rain forest , the remnant of the forest once covered this part of Klang Valley. In contrary, Gasing Hill forest, which is located at the border of Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya is a secondary forest.

There are several trails in this tiny jungle, which takes you less than half an hour to walk from one end to the other.

Entrance is free, and you walk through the jungle to reach the KL Tower.

Jelutong trail is one of the longest trails in the KL Eco Park

There is a 200-meter canopy walk. It was under refurbishment when I was there. I will come back to add some images in the future.

Upside Down House

The upside-down house is located at halfway between the KL Tower and the Eco Park. It is a fun place for kids and an ideal spot for eye-catching photos for Instagram.

There are a few rooms inside the house. They are all ideal for taking photos with outrageous action.

Blue Coral Aquarium

This small aquarium is situated on the ground floor of the Tower. It is not the main attraction, and you will not miss much if you do not have time to visit this place.

The entrance fee is inclusive in the KL Tower ticket (the comprehensive package). Do not purchase the ticket individually as it is more costly.

Mini Zoo

There is a mini Zoo situated on the left of the entrance of KL Tower. There is not much to see, according to the officer at the ticket counter. So I have decided to give it a pass. The all-inclusive package includes the admission fee of the Mini Zoo.

Useful information

KL Tower – All You Need To Know Before You Go

Victoria Heinz

May 30, 2022

While the Petronas Towers are Kuala Lumpur’s most famous skyscraper they may not be the best choice to get a view of the city. The KL Tower is slightly less popular among tourists but also cheaper and a lot easier to visit.

To go to the top of the Petronas Towers you need to pre-book a designated time slot and the popular times do tend to sell out quickly. The slots are strictly constrained to 45 minutes and you cannot stay longer than that.

The KL Tower, however, has no such rules and you get to go whenever you like and stay as long as you wish.

In addition to that tickets are (slightly) cheaper which is great if you’re travelling on a budget. I also think the view is better at the KL Tower since you get to see the Petronas Towers which makes the skyline a lot more recognisable.

WHERE IS THE KL TOWER

The KL Tower sits just west of Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) on the outskirts of Bukit Bintang. It’s walking distance from all other popular sightseeing points such as KLCC Park, the Petronas Towers, Pavilion Shopping Centre and many more.

HOW TO GET THERE

The Tower is located on Bukit Nanas hill where you can also find the Forest Eco Park. Getting there can be slightly tricky. You can walk but since it’s uphill in the humidity it won’t be a very pleasant experience. If you do decide to attempt this I would recommend walking through the Forest Eco Park to at least give you something to see on the way up.

There is also the main road that leads up to the KL Tower. It’s better to choose this route on the way down in my opinion.

The easiest way to get to the KL Tower is by simply taking a Grab or taxi. This will take you right to the doorstep and won’t cost much depending on where you are taking it from.

The KL Hop-on Hop-off Bus also stops there.

The closest Monorail station is Bukit Nanas, and Dang Wangi is the closest MRT station. From both, you’ll have to walk for roughly 20 minutes to reach the tower.

The tower was built in 1995 and it serves as a communications tower as well as being a tourist attraction. While the viewing platform is 335 metres high the tower technically measures 421 metres because of its large antenna. In addition to that, it sits on top of a hill (Bukit Nanas) which makes it feel a lot higher than it actually is.

The KL Tower is the seventh-largest free-standing tower in the world. Right next to it there is a 100-year-old jelutong tree which was not harmed during construction. Specific measures were taken to protect it despite its proximity to the construction site. You can visit the tree from the lobby of the tower.

The tower has a revolving restaurant from which visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the city during a nice dinner.

Every year a race is held for who can climb the stairs to the top of the tower the fastest.

OPENING HOURS OF THE KL TOWER

The opening hours for the tower are 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM every day. This might differ slightly during public holidays. Check out the official website for details.

Let me save you time and effort when you’re travel planning! ➼ Best travel insurance? SafetyWing ➼ Best place to find cheap flights? Skyscanner ➼ Best bank & credit card for travellers? Wise ➼ Best travel backpack? Osprey Farpoint 70

Like with most popular tourist attractions it’s advisable to go very early in the morning. I’ve had the best experiences at the tower at 9:00 AM in the morning when it opens. During that time you’ll be sharing the platforms with only around 20 other people at the most.

If you’re interested in going into one of the glass bottom “Skyboxes” you should definitely avoid peak periods. The lines for the Skyboxes tend to get very long during the day whereas in the morning you can go as often as you want.

Another factor is the heat. If you choose to go to the open-air platform (Sky Deck) you’ll be completely exposed to the sun with little shade. In the morning this isn’t too much of a problem but the hot afternoon sun will definitely keep you from staying too long.

The tower is also a lot quieter during the week as most people tend to visit on the weekend.

TICKETS AND PRICES

There are two decks; the Observation Deck (enclosed) and the Sky Deck (open-air). The prices are as following:

Observation Deck Malaysian Citizen RM 30 (~ €6.50) Observation Deck Foreigner RM 49 (~ €10.50)

Sky Deck (includes Observation Deck) Malaysian Citizen RM 71 (~ €15.30)

Sky Deck (includes Observation Deck) Foreigner RM 99 (~ €21.30)

You can buy tickets online or at the tower. If you’re planning on visiting during the day it might save you time if you buy the tickets online in advance. Otherwise, there is no reason to.

These tickets are quite expensive, especially for South-East Asia. However, I do think paying more to see the Sky Deck is worth it. I was pretty underwhelmed by the Observation Deck and thought going all the way to the top made a big difference.

THE PLATFORMS

After buying your tickets in the lobby you’ll get on an elevator that takes you to the Observation Deck. Here you can spend as much time as you like wandering around the circular deck. There is a small gift/snack shop.

However, don’t stay for too long. The more exciting platform is definitely the Sky Deck as it is open-air and even higher.

They tend to open this platform slightly later than the Observation Deck (around 9:15 AM to 9:30 AM). I’m not exactly sure why but it’s usually something to do with the elevators. If you ask the staff kindly they tend to let you use the stairs to go to the top before anyone else. I can’t guarantee that this works every time, though in my experience it does.

The Sky Deck is circular but you cannot walk all the way around. On opposite sides are the two Skyboxes for which you have to draw a number. Glas railings separate the visitors from the steep drop below.

KL TOWER SKYBOXES

The so-called “Skyboxes” are glass-bottom boxes suspended over the side of the tower. They are open-air and not for the faint of heart.

To avoid actual lines forming the tower has a ticket system in place. To draw a number you have to go inside back to where the elevators are. Then you wait until your number appears on one of the large screens. There are two different Skyboxes so be careful which one you draw a number for.

You need to take off your shoes to go into the Skybox. Up to three people can go into one box at once. However, if you draw a ticket you are guaranteed to be alone in the box if you wish and won’t have to share it with strangers.

Each person gets to spend five minutes in the box but not more. You can ask some of the friendly staff to take your picture.

If you have the chance to I can recommend trying both of the Skyboxes. The views are very different and the experience is unique.

FOOD AT THE TOWER

In the lobby, you’ll find a good selection of small restaurants if you get hungry after your visit to the tower. They aren’t the cheapest, however. If you’re not in a rush then why not head over towards KLCC where you’ll find some of the city’s best and cheapest restaurants.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO VISIT THE KL TOWER?

I would say you can spend around one hour at the KL Tower if you do not have to wait in line. This gives you plenty of time to look around, take photos and enjoy the views. If you’re going during rush periods add at least 30-60 minutes wait time.

With so many great photo opportunities in KL, you’ll love these Malaysia-inspired Instagram captions .

WHAT IS CLOSE TO THE KL TOWER?

After you visit the KL Tower there are plenty of things to do close by. I highly recommend the Forest Eco Park which sits right next to the tower. There are also the Upside Down House and the KL Mini Zoo both of which I am not a big fan of. If you want to read more about why then check out our 19 Things to do in Kuala Lumpur and 6 you should skip post here.

If you want to go a bit further why not check out KLCC or Bukit Bintang with their many attractions. Experience KL’s hidden bar scene by visiting one of the many secret speakeasies in the city or go on a shopping spree in the great selection of shopping malls in the city .

The possibilities in KL are always endless.

The History of KL Tower

The Kuala Lumpur Tower, commonly called the KL Tower, is a 421-metre telecommunications tower that holds the title as the world’s 7th tallest tower and the tallest in the Southeast Asian region. Before constructing the Petronas Twin Towers, it was the tallest structure in Malaysia.

Aside from being a well-known tourist destination, it also serves as the Islamic falak observatory where devotees observe the crescent moon — marking the beginning of the Muslim months of Ramadan, Syawal, and Zulhijjah.

Its primary function as a telecommunications tower has made it a member of the World Federation of Great Towers. Several organisations utilise it for both television and radio broadcasting.

Where is KL Tower?

KL Tower is located at the heart of Malaysia, at Jalan Puncak, an area that branches off of the Jalan P. Ramlee street in Kuala Lumpur — right at the heart of the city. It is a few kilometres from the Kuala Lumpur City Centre, where the concentration of commercial and shopping districts can be found.

How to Get to KL Tower

There are a couple of ways to get to KL Tower. For public transportation, you have three options:

Go KL City Bus – Purple Line – You can ride from designated bus stations, taking a direct route to the KL Tower. These are buses 103, 851, 780, and PJ05, which will all pass by the ‘Weld’, a shopping complex located within 600 metres of the tower.
Kelana Jaya Line LRT – You can ride the Light Rail Transit (LRT) from any station and get down at the Dang Wangi Station, a few minutes walk from the tower.
KL Monorail – You can ride from any designated station and catch a ride at the Bukit Nanas Monorail Station, which is also a few minutes walk from the tower.

For private transportation, you can rent a car or hail a cab to reach the tower — these are the most preferred methods for tourists who want to spend less time commuting. The tower has a parking area for private vehicles.

If you are coming from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), you can ride the LRT station at the airport and reach the KL Tower via the Dang Wangi station.

KL Tower Attractions

Of course, the KL Tower is more than just a telecommunications tower that tourists visit. It houses several other attractions, including the KL Tower Sky Deck, the KL Tower Restaurant, and the KL Tower Mini Zoo.

Check Out the View From the KL Tower Sky Deck

The observation deck or Sky Deck gives visitors an unobstructed 360-degree view of Kuala Lumpur at more than 300 metres up in the sky. Attached to the Sky Deck is the KL Tower Sky Box, a high-altitude glass room where you can elevate your viewing experience.

Tickets are available at websites such as Tripadvisor.com at varying rates, depending on your desired package. You can purchase tickets for the Observation Deck, the Sky Deck, or both, plus the Sky Box. Ticket prices for adults will range from roughly $24 to $66 AUD.

Enjoy a Meal at the KL Tower Restaurant

The KL Tower Restaurant is a modern and sophisticated restaurant about 280 metres above the ground. The restaurant is known for its revolving deck, which offers customers a 360-degree view of the city, with each passing minute offering a different angle of the city.

The restaurant offers a lunch buffet for adults at RM118 (roughly $40 AUD), Hi-Tea buffet for adults at RM 88 ($30 AUD), and a dinner buffet for adults at RM199 ($67 AUD), among others. The restaurant also offers celebratory setups for those who want to celebrate or honour a special occasion.

Get Close to Nature at the KL Tower Mini Zoo

Found at the ground level of the KL Tower, the zoo allows you and other fellow animal lovers to pet and feed the animals. With more than 60 species in the zoo, including rare animals such as the White Crow, the Mini Zoo houses eight different zones that mimic the animals’ natural habitats. Some animals have become favourites among tourists and locals alike, such as the Sugar Gliders, Macaque monkeys, and Emu.

The Mini Zoo is open from 10 AM to 9 PM, with tickets costing RM35 ($12 AUD) for adults and RM29 ($10 AUD) for children and senior citizens.

Catch the Latest Movie at the KL Tower Movie Theater

The KL Tower houses an XD Theatre — a type of cinema that offers cutting-edge technology and one of the best viewing experiences in the world. They are generally equipped with either an Auro 11.1 immersive audio, which is basically a 5.1 surround sound layout with five more height channels above, or a Dolby Atmos setup. The experience easily competes with the likes of an IMAX theatre.

The general sentiment of people who have visited the KL Tower is that it offers an experience worth visiting at least once in your life. Very few places offer the same experience as the KL Tower. As such, we recommend you plan a trip to Malaysia and include a day trip to the famous tower.

Does KL Tower Rotate?

Although the tower does not rotate, the deck at the top, where the restaurant is located, revolves very slowly. The horizontal rotation is 360 degrees, which allows visitors to enjoy their meals without getting dizzy or stumbling all around the place.

“ “ Amazing Tower in the heart of Kuala Lumpur! If you stay in Kuala Lumpur a visit of the menses is a must to! The view on the top is really amazing! ” GrandTour90228

“ “ Make sure to go when the wheater is good. Fortunately, the queue wasn't long so we doesn't have to wait for long. A very good experience for my family. We loved it so much.. Recommended!! ” Aumirah Aubaidi

“ “ The 360 view is outstanding. Nothing you can have at the Twin Towers. Take a coffee outside at an altitude of 300 meters, I know no other place you can do that. Go for SkyDeck, not only observation deck. We arrived just after 9AM and it was almost empty. When we left there was a long que. Be there early. ” larssq

“ “ Amazing experience, weather excellent, slight breeze but what a view. Breakfast of coffee and ice cream at the cafe on the observation deck. Friendly and informative staff. ” Tracey Miller

“ “ Magnificent from afar, be it in the day or night. Interestingly, the Kuala Lumpur tower was visible right at my hotel balcony. The tower was lighted up every evening and many arrays of colours were used. I guess it’s better to see it from a distance then to see it from its bottom. ” Your Travel Buddy SG

“ “ We arrived at 10:00 hours and nearly had the Skydeck to ourselves. Great views over the city. We spent some time in the cafe drinking sodas whilst watching the wonderful view. We went down to the Observation Deck later; we think the view from the Skydeck was much better. ” Chris H

20 Things To Do Around the KLCC Twin Towers (If You Stucked Here)

Most tourists can roam the whole Kuala Lumpur. But some could be stuck to the KLCC.

Don’t worry. KLCC is one of the most awesome location to be trapped in.

Stop thinking that KLCC is only about snapping a gazillion insta-worthy pictures. Here are 20 things that you can actually do around the KLCC Twin Towers.

1. See the Wonders of the Ocean in the Aquaria KLCC

Seeing the 60,000 square feet aquarium underneath the KLCC Twin Towers is one of the most popular thing you can do in the KLCC.

Yes, it is not as amazing as the Sealife in Johor. But this KL aquarium is a huge tourist attraction. It has over 5000 marine and freshwater animals and a cool 90-metre travelator.

This oceanarium has a few different landscapes, from the misty highlands and flooded tropical jungles, right to the Amazon rivers, coral reefs and the open ocean.

It’s not all about walking and seeing though. If you are feeling adventurous there’s the Dive with Sharks or the Cage Rage . If you have kids and are here during school holidays, enroll them in the Sleep with Sharks program. But book early as spots are limited.

Whatever you do, don’t miss the 10 foot long gigantic Arapaima feeding time (Mon, Wed, Sat at 2:30pm at the Flooded Forest area).

Tips : Buy your Aquaria ticket online for the best discount price.

2. Play at the Petrosains KLCC

If you got kids younger than 12, this interactive touch and play kid museum will keep them occupied. Half science center, half playground, this place is built right on the KLCC Mall’s 4th floor, so you don’t have to go far.

The theme is focused on oil. So, you’ll see a stone that bleeds oil, you could get up close to a Formula 1 Car, walk into an oil rig or feel what it’s like to be in a helicopter with a heli simulator.

Always enter Petrosains on full stomach and not let the simple entrance fool you. The place is massive, and even after 2 hours of exploring, your little ones may not even want to call it a quit yet.

3. Stroll, take selfies and play in the KLCC Park

Just because you’re in the middle of the city doesn’t mean you have to travel far to enjoy some greeneries. This pocket of green overlooking the Petronas Twin Towers is a great place to stroll, enjoy the sun or snap some great photos of towers.

If you have kids under 10, let them enjoy the wading pool here as it is opened for free. Just remember to bring their swimming trunks (there’s a changing room nearby).

And if an hour of water play is not enough, there’s plenty of swings and slides to try in the 2 acre playground. This will be the biggest playground they’ll ever encounter in Malaysia and one of the best free things to do around KLCC.

Tips: Don’t forget to walk across the 43m bridge in the middle of the park. It’s one of the best place to snap your photos with the KLCC as the backdrop.

4. Window Shop in the KLCC Mall

This is not your average daily mall. With a wide array of haute couture stores, this 6 level mall caters the need of the affluents.

We are talking about brands such as Versace, Coach and Louis Vuitton. If you want to buy something Malaysian, there’s shoes from Jimmy Choo.

With more than 380 stores of upscale and world known brand boutiques, this mall will definitely elevate your retail fantasy into a new level (or make you feel like a pauper).

5. See KL From the SkyBridge

the klcc twin towers sky bridge view at night

If Maharaja Shah Jehan built the Taj Mahal as a symbol of love to his beloved wife, the locals claim that the KLCC is built by the then Prime Minister for his wife, Tun Hasmah.

And they’ll tell you that the proof is in the bridge — as it makes the towers form the letter ‘H’ for Hasmah.

No one can verify this claim, but the engineers of the towers say that the main purpose of the skybridge is to link the two towers to act as a fire escape route.

If you plan to getting up on the bridge, be prepared to queue as early as 6:30 am to snatch the limited daily passes (if you can get one).

Be sure not to stroll leisurely here. You are only allowed to stay for 10 minutes on the bridge and another 15 on the observation tower.

Tips: To guarantee access, you can buy your KLCC skybridge ticket here .

6. Explore KL from KLCC for FREE with GOKL

the free bus in kuala lumpur - called the gokl

If you still plan to see the city, you have a few options. One is in the comfort of an air-conditioned GOKL buses .

You can hop on the free bus at the KLCC bus stop and ride away to the Bukit Bintang, see the KL Tower from afar or see the hustle and bustle of the Chinatown or Central Market area. You could get off, or you could just sit while the bus roams around the city and back to KLCC.

Yes, the city’s traffic jams are unavoidable, but the buses offer free WIFI connection to give you some distractions on your phone.

The starts bus as early as 6 in the morning right to 11 in the evening.

7. Appreciate Some Arts in the Petronas Gallery

The vast space in the Petronas Gallery KLCC

If you’re into arts, there’s the the Petronas Gallery in the KLCC mall.

This gallery mainly showcases the works of local artists. But is also known to occasionally include arts from foreign talents.

Entry to this gallery is free, which is not only great news for art lovers, but also great if you just want a calmer escape from the mall areas.

The collection is normally small, and since there’s no lines and no queues, expect to spend an hour or less here.

8. Explore Manga Comics in the Kinokuniya Bookstore

The entrance to the Kinokuniya book store KLCC during Ramadan

Love books? Great. Make your way to the Japanese owned Kinokuniya bookstore on the 4th floor of the Suria KLCC mall. You’ll find your space, your heaven.

If you are into Japanese Manga, Anime and weird Japanese stationary knick knacks, you’ll spend hours getting fascinated with new findings. If all your knowledge about Japanese manga is concentrated to Naruto, be prepared to discover more amazing works of comic art and literature completely overlooked by most Western audience.

If you are into architecture, arts and photography, the mezzanine level has a huge selection of books dedicated just for you.

Most books are wrapped, but you can always ask the assistants here to unwrap them for viewing. Be prepared to spend 2 – 3 hours if you love books than anything else in your life.

Tips: If you need something to quench your thirst, there’s a tiny cafe within the bookstore. Get cosy, enjoy your coffee and relax by the window overlooking the KLCC park.

9. Watch the KLCC Fountain

If you happen to be around the KLCC area after sunset, get out of the mall, join the crowd by the pool and watch the waterworks and music playing at Lake Symphony.

A refreshing way to enjoy the night breeze, the fountain show is fun to watch especially if you come with kids. Yes, it is not worth a special trip. But the 5-10 minutes fountain show do offers the shopping crowd something free to do outside of the KLCC mall.

The light and music fountain show starts at 8pm, 9pm and 10pm daily while the light-only showtimes are at 7:30pm, 8:30pm and 9:30pm .

The front area is normally crowded. But you can find plenty of spaces on the KLCC facade.

10. Bored with KLCC? Explore Bukit Bintang via the Elevated Walkway

Yes, KLCC is great. But in case you plan to taste some great Chinese street food , Bukit Bintang’s Hutong food court and Jalan Alor are the way to go. And there’s no better way to get there on foot than by taking this new walkway.

Before this walkway was opened in 2015, the only way to get there is by maneuvering through the mad KL traffic on uneven paths, under sweltering tropical heats.

With no traffic to worry about, the 1km covered walkway is your best way to get anywhere from the KLCC Convention Centre to the Impiana KLCC Hotel, KL City Walk and the Pavilion mall. Just follow the signs within the walkway to get to your destination along the way.

Don’t worry if you plan to walk back to your hotel room at night. This is also the safest way to travel during the time as there’s CCTV cameras and policemen stationed in this brilliant pedestrian path.

Alternatively, you can explore Malay food in Kg Bharu by walking across the amazing looking Saloma bridge .

11. Dine in a Michelin Star Restaurant

Ah, talking about pampering your tastebuds.

If you want to dine at the best, Kuala Lumpur is home to a few Michelin Star restaurants. And NOBU , the famous Japanese restaurant is right in the KLCC area itself.

Built in the KLCC tower 3 (next to the Mandarin hotel), you’ll have an up close view of the Petronas Towers. Match that sweeping view with the culinary blasphemies that made Nobu well-respected, you’ll have an awesome way to end your day.

This restaurant serves one of the world’s best sashimi, sushi and tempuras. Expect to spend around RM 400 for a multi course menu.

If you are with kids, sorry. No kids under 12 may enter the premise (except on weekends and public holidays). For muslim customers, this restaurant is pork free but not certified halal.

12. Check out the KL Food Truck Scene

crowds at the TAPAK Urban Street Dining near KLCC

To get here, prepare to walk some 900 meters away from the KLCC .

But launched in 2016 by 3 childhood friends, the Tapak Food Truck scene is a new way to enjoy the city’s food and ambience.

There’s more than 20 food trucks here serving mostly hipster or Western food to hungry locals crowds. To beat them to the table, you should get here before 7 pm. And it is best to come with a partner as you can grab a table while he or she orders the food.

Like most hipster food area, do come for the scene and the late night outdoor ambience. But never come solely for the food.

13. Enter the Chocolate Lovers Haven at Godiva

If you are into chocolate, KLCC will be your heaven.

Known for its premium confectionery, the Godiva boutique (yes, these Belgian call it that) will pamper you with their soft serve ice creams and their brilliant selection of dark chocolates truffles.

Get ready with your moolah as the chocolates are sold by grams. But don’t let that deter you. Chocolate lovers swear that you don’t truly know about chocolate until you try the one in Godiva.

Tips : If chocolate is not your thing, get the soft ice cream instead.

14. Enjoy an English Afternoon Tea at Mandarin

Mandarin Oriental Lounge on the Park overlooking the KLCC park

This country was colonised by the Brits for over 100 years. So relaxing over an afternoon tea in Kuala Lumpur is like taking a trip down memory lane.

The city has a few places for this ritual, but the best option to do this around KLCC is at the Mandarin Oriental’s Lounge on The Park .

Tips : Here is a list of hotels in KL with awesome afternoon tea ( post is in Malay)

Your English Afternoon Tea Stand here consists of the usual servings like warm scones, delicate finger sandwiches, as well as a platter of miniature cakes. If you are worried about your waistline, opt for the ‘Healthy Choice’ Afternoon Tea Stand for an array of English and Chinese delicacies.

They have over 60 premium teas here. But you can always order coffee, cocktails or juices too. Just remember to brush up on your tea etiquette.

Afternoon tea is served daily, 2.30-6.00pm.

15. Get your Kids Pumped Up at the Superpark

A ride in the Superpark at Avenue K mall Malaysia

Got kids? Great. This 40,000 square feet Finnish indoor playland will be perfect for the your kids if KL throws you a bad weather.

The park is in the Avenue K , a mall just a few minutes walk away across the street.

Your kids can jump on the trampolines, climb a wall or just throw themselves on cool foam wall. For more actions, they could hop on the scooters, skate boards or try ice skating at the Avenue K’s synthetic ice skating rink.

This Superpark has 26 activities that’ll get the out of steam so fast, your kids will be totally exhausted in no time.

Tips: Kids under 9 must be accompanied by someone who is at least 18 years old. If you only have a toddler, the Starlight (in the same mall) is a better playpark for them.

16. Try Escape at the Breakout

The entrance to the Breakout Escape game at Avenue K mall

If you are into puzzles — or fans of the live-action escape room games, try the Breakout in the Avenue K.

As in all escape rooms throught the world, playing Breakout means getting locked in a themed room where you solve mysteries to break free within the allotted time.

This is a Malaysian founded escape outlet. There’s 5 escape rooms to choose from, each with unique puzzles and degree of difficulties.

To make the experience even better, each member of your team will be given a special ability. The ‘Lock Master’ for example, can ask to open one lock while the ‘Time Bender’ can ask an extra five minutes of game time.

You have 45 minutes to use your wits, skills and teamwork to escape. You need at least 2 people to play. Bring more for a better chance of escaping.

17. Enjoy sublime live music at MPO

If you are a music lover who wonders what to do in the Petronas Towers at night, check out the Malaysia Philharmonic Orchestra (or MPO).

Prior to the MPO and the establishment of DFP (Dewan Filharmonik Petronas), Malaysia actually did not have a world-class concert hall, nor a resident world-class orchestra.

Made of musicians from over 20 countries, the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra’s forte is classical music, but you can still enjoy jazz, pop or rock music at certain times of the year.

Forget the fact that 90% of the musicians are not Malaysian. This is your chance to listen to great music, in a wonderful venue at very reasonable ticket price.

Just take note of the dress code. If you travel light, you might have to buy yourself some dress shoes just to get in.

Ticket starts from RM 50 (half price with a student card).

18. Sample World Cuisines at Suria KLCC’s Food Court

The KLCC area is filled with amazing restaurants. But that doesn’t mean you should skip The Signature Food Court on the 2nd floor of the Suria KLCC.

Here, even the most finicky eaters will find something to eat. As you scan the area, you’ll realize that there’s food from all over the world. You can try Japanese teppanyaki, Thai tom yum, right down to Penang’s nasi kandar in one spot. Miss your burgers? There’s Mcdonalds and Subway too.

In short, no matter what’s your budget or taste, do eat at the food court.

Tips : Drinks here are relatively expensive by the Malaysian food court standard. Get your drinks from the McDonalds instead. And come before 12pm if you want a window seat with the view of the KLCC park.

19. Practise Your Golf Swing

Staying in the heart of KL is not an excuse to let your swing rust. There’s at least 3 places around the KLCC area where you could play golf on a simulator.

Your first option is at the Mandarin Oriental hotel. The hotel has 3 excellent indoor golf simulators to spend an hour out of the sun.

Your second alternative is at the Suria KLCC mall’s ISETAN. The Golf Studio on the 3rd floor is equipped with golf simulators as well as golf equipment, apparel, and accessories from Japan for both sexes.

Finally, if you are here with your golfing buddies and want a place dedicated to golf, you can go to the Golf Club KLCC at Novotel Hotel. This is the city’s first fully fledged premium golf lounge.

It opens 7 days a week from 11 am till late night. Don’t worry if you get hungry. There’s sirloin burgers, steak, calamari and more on site.

20. Pamper Yourself at the Mandarin Oriental or Impiana Hotels’ Spas

The KLCC is a great area to sleep, eat and work. And is also a grand place to pamper your body.

Head on to the The Mandarin Oriental Hotel next door and try its Malay massage. You can choose a simple facial treatment or truly spoil yourself with the full body “Urut Melayu” for a unique traditional touch.

Alternatively, there’s the Swasana Spa at the Impiana KLCC Club Tower that specialises in traditional Southeast Asian spa treatments.

Performed by professional therapists, try its Swasana Massage; which is a blend of Malay, Thai and Balinese massages. Your massage comes complete with oil customised to your taste.

The prices for both hotels are high. But the ambient, the expertise and the results will make you come back for more.
