Aquaria KLCC

We went to Aquaria KLCC the only state-of the art 60,000 sq. ft. aquarium right in the heart of beautiful Kuala Lumpur City last Sunday. The usual admission fee is RM35 for adult with MyKad. But we got our tickets during the last MATTA fair at RM20 only per adult :)

The first thing we saw as we entered were the piranhas. Don’t play a fool here, can you see skeletons all over? Scary.. *shivering with fear* :P
Ethan got the opportunity to pet the sharks. He was so happy and not at all afraid of it :)
The shark, sea cucumber and electric cat fish. I personally love sea cucumber. Want to know why? Let me share some facts about sea cucumber…

Sea cucumbers are sausage shaped, and their skin is covered with warty bumps or soft spines. When threatened, cucumbers can contract their muscles and shoot out water from their body making them shorter, thicker, and harder. Some can even shoot out their insides and then go and grow new insides.Now tell me who doesn’t love a cucumber like that? :P

If you think Aquaria is all about fish, think again. There are butterflies, beetles and many more non-swimming creatures there.
A Brazilian Salmon Pink Tarantula. Obviously this fella have NOT tried Brazilian wax before. It is so hairy! If you don’t already know what is Brazilian wax, let me share with you what it is. I’m feeling ‘smart’ tonight, so I’m sharing lots of facts :D A Brazilian wax is the pubic hair removal or pubic epilation, commonly called bikini waxing. It is the epilation of body hair in and around the pubic region, most commonly by females, by the use of wax.

Oh, these must be the BIGGEST tadpoles I’ve ever seen in my life! See Ethan’s chubby hand and compare it to them. Have you seen such big tadpoles in your life? I wonder how big a frog they’ll grow up to be!
Ethan loving the turtle…
We got to see the professional divers feeding the fish. The diver giving a thumb’s up sign after the feeding session :)

Here are some videos to share :)

  • //

    Wah, your tickets you got for RM20 per adult!? That's cheap! Good deal! A truly educational and nice experience for your child to see live sea creatures.

    Seaworld, Jakarta's entrance fee is only RM14..hehe.I've been to Aquaria KLCC once (forgot how it looked like already). Seaworld, Jakarta is small too. Ethan is so brave. Gwen was afraid to touch the shark and turtle.

    Never been there. They said very expensive… Maybe will go with my daughter when she comes home for the hols. She loves wildlife…

  • //

    Great photos and videos. Ethan must have been very excited.

  • //

    nice place to visit… the entrance fees increase a lot… last time, it is only rm20.

  • //

    You have a brave boy here, my girl shivered when I ask her to pet the star fish and bamboo sharks.A wonderful place to spend the weekday with kids! ^-^

  • //

    Wow! I didnt know there is such place in heart of KL. I must go there during my next trip to KL. :p

  • //

    We "petted" different sea creatures when we went there last year. I still find the admission fee pricey… nothing much to see. Luckily the travelator part saved the day. We went on it again and again and again baru puas hehe!

  • //

    Wah, now u got me thinking about Braised sea cucumber, Fried catfish with flour, Shark Meat with salted vegetable……gosh….everything I see turned into food leh! Even, the spider…..er deep fried like the one we see in Vietnam and Thailand! LOL!

  • //

    It sure is a cool place for kids and adults too! I recall the diver signalled SP to join him in there….and he just froze…haha.

  • //

    I went there last Dec,not bad la.but bit pricey.

  • //

    wow, such big tadpole!

  • //

    Wow, I've never seen such a big tadpole like that. Looks like that tadpole has undergone waxing. lol.

  • //

    I had been arguing with my close friend on this issue for quite a while, base on your ideas prove that I am right, let me show him your webpage then I am sure it must make him buy me a drink, lol, thanks.- Kris
