    Great fishy experience!
    We loved our time here, compared to other aquariums we have been to in the UK this is is huge! There are many many species of fish on view and lots of information on display. There was a pool in which you could handle some creatures and there were lots of children enjoying that. The highlight for us was the underwater tunnel, it was so long you had to use a walkalator to travel through it! We saw so many fish, sharks, rays and the most magnificent turtle! The staff we encountered were friendly and looked like they were enjoying their jobs! We spent a couple of hours here and so glad we did. Would very much recommend!

    Children travel and learn at the same time 😉
    One of the most enjoyable tourist destinations, especially for tourists with children. This is a tourist spot as well as an educational place for children. Children are very happy and excited to explore every corner of the aquarium! Definitely a very impressive vacation spot. Highly recommended 👍🏻

    Small
    We visited during CNY and it was extremely busy. It was challenging to see some of the tanks and difficult to navigate with a pram. The staff were friendly and directed us towards the elevators. The tunnel at the end was nice with some lovely sting rays. One side of the tunnel is for prams and the other is a very slow-moving travelator. The downside is the price was not justified. We have visited many aquariums so this one was underwhelmingly small.

    Not for me
    A divided visit. Some aspects I thought were well done , the under water walk through was very good (although I did feel it was over populated) For me as an animal lover I found a good percentage of the “living quarters” not of an adequate size. A tarantula in a small glass display case, the meerkats inadequate space and not very interesting, Chinese type dragons in very small enclosure as were the sea horses. I find this very sad to see and wishing I hadn’t gone. Plenty of space for the business to sell photographs and merchandise Though! Aquaria you could do better .

    Nice exhibits
    Enjoyed the experience as I was able to visit the various exhibits at the aquarium. Only thing that wasn’t that good was that there was certain areas that was warm despite having the portable AC. Would recommend going on a weekday morning during non public holiday/ school holiday period to avoid the crowd.

    Ordinary aquarium
    I visited this aquarium for the first time. It was Sunday morning and pretty much crowded with mostly young families and kids. The place is not huge and some areas are under renovation. Honestly, it is bit too pricy considering what they exhibit. The species they have are mostly common one and not that impressive.

    Fun activity near the KLCC park area
    Interesting and informative aquarium, particularly for kids and families. Takes about an hour to go through. The highlight is the large tunnel at the end of the experience, the longest tunnel of that sort that we have seen at an aquarium anywhere in the world, and filled with large sharks and manta rays. Note it was very crowded when we went so bear that in mind if you don't like crowds in confined spaces.

    Average experience. Expensive and not worth it
    Very average experience. Few exhibits ( you finish in about an hour) , no story telling experience. The price charged is quite high and does not justify the low to average experience at all. Avoidable as it is simply not worth it..

    Simply Spectacular
    The Kuala Lumpur aquarium is a lower level in Petronas Twin Tower. It is accessible by railway network, public or private transportation. Visitors have the opportunity to experience the gardens, aquarium, sky bridge and mall within Petronas twin towers. Highly recommended to all visitors visiting Kuala Lumpur.

    An interesting place
    This place has various aquatic animals with different colors and species. The tunnel to observe marine life is quite long. Other sites are decorated quite eye-catching and sparkling. In general, everything is beautiful and colorful. You should come when you arrive in Kuala Lumpur.

From previous visits this would have been a five however our most recent visit was dissapointing.

This was mainly due to the failure to enforce physical distancing and mask wearing among visitors by security. At one point after a man repeatedly stood far too close to my son and I whilst hooking his mask under his chin for photos and repeatedly ignoring my requests (in English and BM) to keep apart I approached the security guard. It took 3 requests before he even moved and then he failed to actual enforce proper mask wearing. The venue should have ejected this visitor.

The fish and other animals stocked all appear to be in good health and the otter feeding "show" was impressive, something that we've not seen on previous visits. However there is a distinct lack of information about what you are seeing. It all feels a bit like the Instagram setting is valued ahead of the educational potential. The aquarium in Langkawi is far superior to this establishment.

Crowding had been a serious issue before. We first visited in Oct 19 and actually asked to leave via a fire exit as we felt unsafe due to the huge overcrowding. Thankfully numbers were far lower on subsequent visits although since then we've always made a point of only going on weekdays avoiding public holidays.

This was quite an experience for us. Try to visit during feeding time when you can see lots of action. The main attraction were turtles,rays and sharks.
The 90meters of underwater tunnel with a travelator was awsome.There is diving program also wher you can do underwater diving with the sharks.
There is an option of cage diving also. You can get it for little cheaper online.This attraction needs 2-3 hours for the visit and is at walk able distance from petronas.
This aquarium is better than the one in Langkawi.

A great attraction to visit in KLCC. Impressed with the amount of sharks available and how organized it is. Great selection of souvenirs at the gift shop! recommend to go at opening time as later in the day there is a long waiting line which took me 35 minutes to reach entrance.

Good way to spend an hour or so. Aquarium is well maintained. The Otters probably had the least favourable enclosure. Displays are good and the set up of tanks good. It was very busy the day we went, would highly recommend buying tickets before you go. We pretty much went straight through with our QR codes. The line for tickets at the gate was extremely long.
It probably ended a bit too fast, I think a few displays have been removed since our last visit in 2018. Tickets pretty cheap, good entertainment if in the city.

We thought they had good SOPs in place as mentioned in their website but we were wrong. Booked a slot for our visit but no one checked when we got there and everyone was allowed in regardless they booked or not. It was so crowded that social distancing was impossible, and we saw more of people's backs than the exhibits. Many visitors also took off their mask for photos and while talking to each other. Ventilation was bad and it was hot and stuffy. One would have to stand and wait and then jostle to the front if you wanted to see the exhibits close up. We were out of the place in less than 20 minutes (wanted to leave earlier but we got caught in the slow moving crowd). It was a total waste of money and so disappointed with Aquaria for not maintaining the crowd properly and endangering the health of young kids and families.

My son and I had a fun and informative visit at Aquaria KLCC.
We came just in time for the shark-feeding session which was fun as well.
We just wished that crowd control was more enforced or limit to a certain number of visitors each slot as it was a bit crowded inside.

we are required to book a slot to visit via website. mentioned in website that we get half price ticket for OKU but ticket for OKU not available online. we came right on time as booked but visitor are a lot! there’s ongoing speaker to remind you of social distancing but no staff to monitor that! and visitor are hopeless too, especially while in the tunnel, no distancing at all, poor ventilation, very stuffy and hot.
aquaria need to upgrade their covid19 SOP enforcement.. easily can start an ‘aquaria cluster’ if this continues.

WOW ,,, WOW, best ever aquarium seen till date, its innovative presentation, Its like
aquatic animals of the Pacific Rim living at their most vibrant and dynamic environment,as management has created by recreating the natural environment of their habitats.a wide variety of marine life including amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals as well as marine invertebrates and plants can also be observed in the aquarium.

It reflects the preciousness of life and the importance of environmental conservation to as many visitors as possible by going down via hemisphere glass to feel real encounter near the face,

Its an AMAZING experience

Not bad just too small and packed with kids , can’t really get a good view of much . The highlight is to probably the tunnel that you can walk through. Staff wil always ask you to take photos and if you don’t want to you won’t be allowed into the tunnel.
