Petrosains, The Discovery Centre, Kuala Lumpur

One of the main attractions in the Petronas Towers is the Petrosains, a museum focused on science, geology and the petroleum industry.

Working in collaboration with the European Collaborative for Science Industry and Technology Exhibitions (ECSITE), The Asia Pacific Network of Science and Technology (ASPAC) and the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC), this fascinating museum does the best job in bringing the audiences closer to science and technology. With live science demonstrations and interactive exhibits, the Petrosains Museum is a hit with all ages.

Get to observe the model of the Sauber PETRONAS Formula One racing car, after which dive straight into the dense rainforests of Malaysia and experience what it is to be close to an active volcano along with models of some extinct species that once roamed the face of the earth at the Geotime Diorama. Other exhibits also include great insights into the petroleum industry and the Petrojaya, a replica of a village with hi-tech gadgets in cartoon forms. Definitely a fun visit for all ages!

Why You Should Visit:
You can't beat a combination of dark ride + science center + museum + playground + café + 3D movie + game stations + offshore platform + robot stations + diggers & excavators + dinosaurs + many more DIY/science stations. A couple of exhibits are showing their age but really it doesn't matter because the variety more than makes up for that.

Tip:
The best age for this museum is from 6 to 18 years, or if you've never been in any interactive museum before.
Make sure to buy cheaper tickets online and come as soon as possible, but try to avoid going during school holidays.
If you leave and want to return, be sure to let staff know. They will give you special re-entry wristbands and can bring you back to the Sparks part of the museum so you don't have to redo the whole first part.
