Aquaria KLCC, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

 If you are the type of person who appreciates and adores mother nature to the point that every small thing that the earth has to offer is a beauty in their eyes then you and me will become best buddies soon enough. Haha.

The underwater world greatly amazed me as it is very different from what I am used to. From the water that touches my skin to the idyllic view from my goggles, the sea is definitely a Venus. My sister and mother suggested me to visit this Aquarium since they have already visited this place, though not as big as the SEA Aquarium in Singapore, the Aquaria KLCC is still a place to go to if you love animals or rather nature.

We went on a Saturday morning expecting a lot of people specifically children queued to get inside but to our surprise there was no long queues. In my mind I was thinking that this is the best way to learn and appreciate the Aquaria KLCC. The first thing you need to do as is buy the tickets (as always) and visit the first part which is a small pond where you can touch the animal displayed. There are a lot of showcases where you could have an interaction with the animals given the time. Each part or I must say habitat has a show time where one could participate in nurturing and caring of the animals.

This map will help you navigate your way inside 
Entrance fee: Adult (Malaysian)- RM 38 (Non-Malaysian)- RM 50


Rocky Shore Touch Pool: 
Visitors are allowed to observe and touch the Sea Cucumber, Star Fish, Box Crabs and the very gentle Bamboo Shark. There were too many people so I did not get the chance the get a hold of these beautiful creatures
 
The Electric Zone: 
Electric eels are well known by the electric current that they produce in order to defend themselves in the wild sea 

The Stream: 
To mimic the real habitat of the streams Aquaria provided a sandy floor with flattened rocks that spells home for the land and aquatic animals namely Turtles and the very very cute Otters which my sister wants to take home

Oceanarium: 
An Aquarium will not be complete without the famous Oceanarium where you could see sharks, stingrays, turtles and many more swim above you. What differs this oceanarium from the others is the fact that it has a walkalator. 

I want to take you all home!! 





Shipewreck & Wave Tank: This place gives you the impression of walking into an actual shipwreck. It teaches you on the actual dive spots in Malaysia. 

Weird and Wonderful: From the word itself discover the bizarre creatures under the sea: Jellyfish and Seahorse to name a few. Amazing and Fascinating :-) 

Glass Bottom Boat: The simulated boat deck named Explorer II will take you to the ocean reefs where you could find Nemo and Dory. If you have any questions a friendly personnel is available to answer your queries 

After the educational tour. You could exit to their gift shop and buy some souvenirs. What I like in this place is they give good discounts. We ended up buying a stuffed toy- Clown fish for the amazing deal of buy one take one. :-)
