Petrosains, The Discovery Centre

This place can get crowded especially in the afternoon so do buy tickets online in advance, we always do and don't have to queue. We've been here twice and enjoyed our time. There are a lot of exhibits and interactive games, beautiful interior, and interesting information to learn. Recommended to ride the capsule to learn about how energy was developed and go into the 3D viewing for environmental awareness. Tickets are affordable. My son especially enjoyed the dinosaur exhibition. My daughter loved the mini excavator part. Recommended to go, enjoyable and educational.

Had a great time at Petrosains KLCC! Super fun and educational for both kids and adults. Lots of hands-on exhibits, interactive science zones, and friendly staff who explain things clearly. Perfect spot for families or anyone curious about science and technology!

Visited during the school holidays with my kids and it was such a fun experience! We bought the tickets online which was very convenient. There are so many interesting places for children to explore and learn, plus a nice café to relax. The 3D show was really amazing and entertaining. Highly recommended to visit and enjoy every corner and activity there!

This discovery centre is so well put together! It’s fully air-conditioned, so maybe bring a jumper for the little ones. It wasn’t overcrowded during our visit — we booked tickets in advance, but even the queue for buying tickets was minimal (probably because we visited outside the Malaysian holidays). There’s so much to see and do here, so be prepared for a full day — it really keeps the kids interested and engaged. My personal favourite part was right at the end: the dinosaurs! 🦖 Definitely a great family outing, and the ticket price is very reasonable for what you get.

Our visit to Petrosains in August 2025 was absolutely amazing — easily one of the most informative and entertaining experiences we’ve had in Kuala Lumpur. This science discovery centre is a brilliant mix of facts, hands-on experiences, and science gamification that keeps both kids and adults fully engaged. We spent almost 4 hours exploring, and the kids were as impressed as they were fascinated — they simply didn’t want to leave! They loved learning about space, the fascinating dinosaurs area, Formula 1 technology, the gas and oil industry, and vertical agriculture. The mind control experiments, earthquake simulations, and 3D movie were huge hits too. Every section is designed to spark curiosity, making science both fun and unforgettable. It’s the kind of place where you leave with your head buzzing with new knowledge and your heart happy from all the fun. Tip: Plan at least half a day here — there’s so much to see and do, and you won’t want to rush.

We didn’t buy in advance as we are unsure what time we can really make it so we bought on the spot when we reach there. I didn’t validate this but the staff told another customer that both online and physical ticket price are the same. We spent almost a good 3 hours inside and really well managed queue system compared to Aquaria. Due to the birthday free promo, although I can get a free ticket, I chose to not take it reason for the bad queue management and having two children, it’s not great to queue long unnecessarily. Best 3 hours spent on a public hols.

A haven of discovery,this place is an adventure like no other! Young and old are welcome here to learn fun facts about the world around us, there is something for everyone for sure! Buying tickets in advance is highly recommended and the add-on Energy Capsule ride (sold separately from main ticket) was an eye-opening experience. Truly had an amazing time at the Petrosains Discovery Centre,thank you for the experience!

Had an amazing experience here! Fantastic value for money, with several hours of fun and learning involved. There really is something for all ages and its very well built and maintained. My partner and I are in our 20's and we loved it. The science, the scenery, the fun activities as well as the stations that they have to teach you about the interesting subject matters that they have chosen. I hope this review isnt to vague as I didnt want to give to much away as you really should experience it for yourself. My favourite was the motorbike simulator ;) Overall a well deserved 5/5
