Adventures in Kuala Lumpur | Pan Pacific Destination Insights

Kid-Friendly Attractions in Kuala Lumpur

Fun Times for the Whole Family

So your restless children are tired of tagging along for adult shopping sprees they have no interest in. They constantly tug at your shirt asking when they’re going home. You tell them it won’t be long, but another hour passes, and you’re left with a bunch of tantrum-throwing sulkers. Keep your hyper-active rug rats entertained next time with fun adventures in Kuala Lampur, at any of these six locations, rounded up by Destination Insights, your personal travel insider, and never again hear another whine.

1. Aquaria KLCC

Any child would be stoked to visit an oceanarium, where you can get up-close and personal with exotic sea creatures, and learn about marine life without having to venture into the ocean. This 5,000 sqf aquarium, in particular, allows visitors to dive with its benign sharks, and witness feeding shows.

The Amusement Park features a 360-degree rotating pirate ship, while the African-style Water Park has some thrilling slides and a surf beach to laze the afternoon away.

The Wildlife Park, on the other hand is arguably a mini-zoo with over 150 animal species from around the world living in their simulated natural habitats. For older children, they may be interested to check out the horror-themed Scream Park, and the Extreme Park, where everyone in the family can have a try at go-karting, archery, and bungee jumping.
