Planning a trip to Kuala Lumpur and thinking of including Aquaria KLCC in your itinerary? Great choice! Aquaria is one of the most fascinating family-friendly attractions in the city, offering a peek into the underwater world right in the heart of Malaysia’s bustling capital. To help you make the most of your day, here’s a detailed KL city itinerary that revolves around a visit to this marine wonderland. From Aquaria KLCC ticket tips to nearby attractions, food spots, and transport options — this guide covers it all.

1. Aquaria KLCC Ticket Prices and Online Booking

Before diving into your aquatic adventure, securing your Aquaria KLCC ticket in advance is highly recommended. Booking online not only helps you skip the queues but often comes with discounts and combo deals.

Here are the general ticket prices:

  • Malaysian Citizens: RM 49 (Adults), RM 39 (Children aged 3-12)
  • Non-Malaysians: RM 69 (Adults), RM 59 (Children aged 3-12)
  • Seniors (above 60): Discounted rates available

Online platforms such as the official Aquaria website or travel portals like redBus  frequently offer bundled deals that may include other attractions in KL. Booking ahead also helps plan your itinerary more efficiently.

2. Best Time to Visit

Aquaria KLCC is open daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with last admission at 6:00 PM. To enjoy a comfortable and less crowded visit, it’s best to arrive right when it opens, especially on weekends and school holidays.

Early visits also leave your afternoon and evening free to explore nearby spots. Weekdays are typically quieter, making it ideal for a relaxed walk through the underwater tunnel and various themed zones.

3. Top 5 Nearby Things to Do

Once you’re done exploring Aquaria, you’ll find a wealth of attractions within walking distance. Here are five things to do near KL Tower:

  1. Petronas Twin Towers & KLCC Park
    A visit to KL isn’t complete without a selfie in front of the iconic towers. The adjacent KLCC Park offers green lawns, fountains, and a playground.
  2. Suria KLCC Mall
    Located right above Aquaria, this premium shopping mall is perfect for fashion finds, souvenirs, or even catching a movie.
  3. Petrosains, The Discovery Centre
    An interactive science and technology museum, great for kids and curious minds. It’s educational, engaging, and within Suria KLCC itself.
  4. Lake Symphony Light & Sound Show

  5. KL Tower (Menara Kuala Lumpur)
