Aquaria KLCC is a large oceanarium beneath the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, right by the Petronas Towers, a well-designed aquarium spread over two levels and home to thousands of marine and freshwater animals. The centrepiece is a 90-metre walk-through tunnel where sharks, rays, and a giant grouper glide overhead as a moving walkway carries you through. Other zones cover rainforest rivers, coral reefs, and touch pools, and there are regular feeding shows and dives.
It's a reliable, air-conditioned family attraction in the heart of the city, easy to combine with KLCC Park, the Petronas Towers, and the surrounding malls. For the more adventurous, cage-diving with sharks and other experiences can be booked.
