It’s a great place for kids to escape the summer heat. You can buy it online and use it immediately. You can redeem it at the counter for admission. The indoor roller coaster is really exciting. I go there 16 times on weekdays for kids to play. It’s very cost-effective.

The ticket purchase method is convenient. If you buy the ticket in the early morning, you can leave immediately in the morning. Just scan the QR code and queue up to enter.

Driver arrived early so we were able to start the tour minutes earlier. Mr. Jefri was very nice and accommodating. He was sharing some infos about Malaysian history/trivia which was entertaining. Overall the experience was great!

Parents and children can play various sports together. There are basketball, handball, soccer, and wall bowling, and handball was especially fun. It was hard to play with my child after a long time, but I was able to make good memories.

I had an incredibly smooth experience using the Klook app to purchase tickets for Aquaria KLCC. It only took me about five minutes to browse through the app, make the payment, and receive a QR code for entry. I was standing right in front of Aquaria when I bought the tickets, and the whole process was super easy and convenient! As for the visit itself, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the vibrant fish swim around. The experience was truly immersive, especially when you see the fish swimming above you in the underwater tunnel. The fish appeared healthy, and the educational aspects were great, offering lots of interesting facts about marine life. Overall, a wonderful experience that I'd highly recommend!
