Aquaria KLCC is a large public aquarium and oceanarium located beneath the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre in the KLCC district of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It presents marine and freshwater exhibits that illustrate diverse aquatic habitats.

Exhibit zones range from riverine and rainforest displays to a central oceanarium with a long transparent tunnel, allowing visitors to walk through and view fish, rays, and other marine species at close range. The facility also includes interactive touch pools and scheduled feeding or interpretive sessions.

Designed as a major urban aquarium to complement the KLCC precinct, Aquaria KLCC opened in the late 20th to early 21st century and has operated as a public education and tourism facility since then.

The aquarium sits beneath the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre precinct, immediately adjacent to the Petronas Twin Towers and KLCC Park.

  • Location within KLCC: Situated directly under the KLCC Convention Centre, it is within easy walking distance of the Petronas Twin Towers and KLCC Park.

What to See #

  • Oceanarium tunnel: A long transparent oceanarium tunnel that passes through the main tank, allowing close views of schooling fish and larger marine species along a roughly 90-meter route.
  • Touch pools and habitat zones: Interactive shallow pools and habitat zones that showcase freshwater, coastal, and tropical species, used for education and occasional touch experiences.
