> Visiting Aquaria KLCC in Kuala Lumpur with family: booking tips, the stingray and baby shark tanks, the flooded forest with giant arapaima, a huge lobster, and the travelator shark tunnel.

**Aquaria KLCC** sits right in the city centre near the Petronas Towers. It's a great half-day with family, and a good plan for a hot or rainy afternoon.

## Booking tip
Buying **online** is cheaper, but you have to book **at least a day in advance**. Otherwise it's the counter admission rate.

## What we saw
- **Stingrays**, which look scary up close. (We'd touched one in Dubai!)
- **Baby sharks** swimming right up to the glass.
- **Reef tanks** with colourful fish, including the blue tang, aka Dory.
- The **spotted garden eel**, which lives buried in the sand on the sea floor and bobs up and down. Strange and fascinating.
- **The flooded forest** with giant **arapaima** and huge catfish. They're so big you'll wonder if it's a crocodile.
- A **massive lobster** with very long antennae, plus a 3D model display.

## The best part: the shark tunnel
A **travelator** carries you slowly through an underwater tunnel while **sharks, stingrays and a giant turtle** glide right over your head. You just stand and watch. We counted two, three, four sharks at once.

There's also a photography point near the exit if you want a souvenir picture.

## FAQs

**Should I book Aquaria KLCC tickets online?**
Online tickets are cheaper but need to be booked at least a day before. Otherwise you pay the walk-in admission rate.

**Is Aquaria KLCC good for kids?**
Very. Baby sharks, colourful reef fish, a touch of drama in the giant-fish tanks, and a moving tunnel where sharks and turtles swim over you.
