Family Activities around KL Penthouse
Kuala Lumpur is a fabulous city in Malaysia, known as an amazing cultural melting pot. This city is perfect for families looking for a culturally-rich vacation.
There are some great things to do in Kuala Lumpur for kids, making it an incredibly family-friendly city to visit.
Whilst there are loads of Kuala Lumpur points of interest, it can be a bit of a pain to get to each one of them. If you want to keep life simple, then we suggest that you base yourself in the heart of KL, and simply focus on the activities located within this area. Fortunately that is where KL Penthouse is located!
The city center is great for kids, the streets are all stroller-friendly, and all attractions are easy to access with kids both big and small. In this area you can enjoy visiting:
- The Petrosains Discovery Center (science museum)
- The Petronas Towers
- The Large KLCC City Park
- KL Aquarium & many more.
1. Petrosains Discovery Centre
The fantastic Petrosains Discovery Centre is one of the best places for kids in KL. In actual fact, it is one of the best hands-on science museums you’ll come across anywhere in the world! There are interesting exhibits to engage kids of all ages.
Try walking into the real-life hurricane simulator, pretending you’re on board the international space station or build a model car to learn all about speed. With such great programs on offer, it is clear why the centre is one of the top kid’s attractions in Kuala Lumpur.
The center is located on Level 4 of the Suria KLCC shopping center, and the entrance price is very reasonable for a fun day out.
2. Gaze at the giant Twin Towers
Another of the best places to visit in Kuala Lumpur, the Petronas Twin Towers was the tallest building in the world from 1998 to 2004, and still, today, has the tallest twin towers in the world.
Kids love gazing up at the 88-floor towers and if you’re after a panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur, then head up to the Skybridge and Observation Deck. Maybe not the most obvious of Kuala Lumpur attractions, but if your kids are like ours then they will enjoy the thrill of the view from up high!
3. KLCC playground and waterpark
Our family rates the KLCC playground and waterpark as one of the best in the world – and it’s free! It’s a giant playground with lots of different play areas suitable for all ages and stages. There’s also a shallow wading pool with a waterfall that’s perfect for kids to cool off from the KL heat.
The playground is situated in the beautiful KLCC park that’s beside the entrance to the KLCC shopping mall. It’s a great place for wandering around and there are plenty of walking and running paths around for the more energetic. Definitely one of the top things to do with kids in KL!
4. KL Aquarium
Possibly the best place for kids in KL!?
And we told you that all of these first activities will be located close together. The KL Aquarium is located next to the Petronas Towers, in the KL Convention Centre.
For all of the KL attractions for family, I really feel like this one is the one that everyone in the family will enjoy. We loved the 90m tunnel where you can see some sharks, turtles, stingrays, and of course loads of fish.
