Top 4 Exciting Attractions at KLCC for the Whole Family

A bustling metropolis where millions of people from a dizzying array of cultures live, work, and play, Kuala Lumpur is home to countless must-see landmarks and unstoppable experiences. Those who’re new to the city should definitely take the chance to visit the KL City Center district (also commonly known as KLCC). Conveniently located in the heart of the city, KLCC is hard to miss – the iconic Petronas Twin Towers can be seen from miles around.

If you’re not a local, the sheer amount of things to see and do can seem somewhat overwhelming. Those who’re traveling with their families (especially if you’re bringing small children) may want to plan their schedule ahead of time. To help you out, we’ve put together a list of the top 5 most exciting attractions at KLCC that the whole family can enjoy.

Petronas Twin Towers

When they were opened in 1999, the Petronas Twin Towers were officially the tallest buildings in the world. While that title has since gone to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the 452 meter towers are still considered the world’s tallest twin structures and their iconic design can be seen from miles around. These 88-story buildings are mostly filled with offices and corporate headquarters, but the double decker Sky Bridge on the 41st and 42nd floors are open to the public and provides an amazing view of the city skyline.

If you’re interested in checking out the view, please note that you’ll need a pass to enter the bridge. While the cost isn’t too pricey (especially if you’re a MyKad holder), only a limited number of tickets are issued each day. To avoid long queues, make sure to come in early or purchase an online ticket ahead of time.

KLCC Park

The KLCC Park is a 50-acre garden area set just outside Suria KLCC. Originally designed as a green area for the Petronas Twin Towers and the surrounding areas, this park has become extremely attractive to tourists and local family groups.

The KLCC Park’s most well known feature is Lake Symphony – a big, artificial lake with water fountains that can shoot water up to 89 meters in the air. The daily water shows (at noon and in the evenings) must be seen to be believed. Apart from that, plenty of kids love to visit KLCC Park because it has a large public swimming pool and a two-acre children’s playground where they can run around to their hearts content.

Older visitors, on the other hand, might be more interested in the park itself. The KLCC Park was designed by the late Roberto Burle Marx, a famous Brazilian architect. He aimed to “leave the world a little more sensitive and a little more educated to the importance of nature” by integrating both natural and man-made elements. The result is a breath of fresh air – a green oasis of calm in the heart of a bustling city. If you’re visiting Kuala Lumpur for the first time, this park is well worth a visit.

Opening Times: 7am-10pm daily
