Aquaria KLCC
The highlight of this impressive

( 2333 1888;
www.aquariaklcc.com
; Concourse, KL Conven-
tion Centre; adult/child/senior aquarium RM50/40/30; 10.30am-8pm, last admission 7pm; KLCC)
in the
basement of the KL Convention Centre is its 90m underwater tunnel which you walk
through to view sinister-looking sand tiger sharks and giant gropers. A guided tour
(RM199) will clue you in on all the fishy details. Daily feeding sessions for a variety of
fish and otters are complemented by ones for arapaima, electric eel and sharks on
Monday, Wednesday and Saturday (2.30pm and 3pm).
Certified divers can get into the tanks with the sharks (RM400); if you're not certified,
you can opt to be lowered into the tank in a protective cage (RM199). If you have kids
aged 6 to 13, they can take part in sleepovers at the aquarium.
KLCC Park
Brazilian park designer Roberto Burle Marx never lived to see the completion of the ima-
127 trees, some of them saved from the Selangor Turf Club. A 1.3km soft-surface jogging
track winds its way around the park past the children's playground, paddling pool and
Masjid Asy-Syakirin.
Naturally, the park is the best vantage point for photos of the Petronas Towers. In the
early evening, it can seem like everyone in town has come down here to watch the glow-
ing towers punching up into the night sky. Every night at 8pm, 9pm and 10pm, the
Lake
Symphony Fountains
play in front of the Suria KLCC.
