Aquaria KLCC

We visited Aquaria KLCC on Sunday since we have nothing to do and its been a while since we last took Hayley to somewhere interesting. It was the first visit for all of us.

We reached around 3pm and it was rather crowded, expected since it was a weekend. The queue to the ticket counter was rather long and the lady at the entrance asked if we have a Touch N Go card. We managed to gain entry in less than 2 mins using the TnG lane, hurray :-)

Papa and I have been to the waterworld in Sydney some years back and I would say this one was less interesting if compared to the one in Sydney. We covered the whole place in less than an hour. For RM28 per adult, I would say it is not worth it but for those who have not been to a waterworld before, I would say go for it.

As usual, you will find varieties of fishes, insects, coral reefs and reptiles being displayed. You can even touch some of the little sand tiger sharks and fishes supervised by the Aquaria employees.

You can touch these

Reptiles and butterflies

Piranhas and various fishes. Unfortunately we missed the piranha feeding time which was scheduled for 11.15am and 4pm.

Electric eel, Nemo fish and giant tanks
Some giant fishes and interesting displays. They look small in the photos but they are actually very big. Some of them are bigger than my Hayley :-). And since we can't use flash in there, all the photos appeared very dark. I don't know if it was my camera or my skills.
The main attraction would be the underwater world tunnel. You can opt to use the travelator or walk on the carpet. There were a couple of sharks and stingrays. Still not as good as the Sydney one. Hayley wasn't engrossed with the fishes or the displays, she was more interested in the travellator - wondering why it moved :-)

For those who have not been and are keen to go, go to Aquaria KLCC website for more details.
