My trip to Aquaria KLCC

Aquaria KLCC is conceptualized & built based on the Journey of water from land to sea.Embark on a journey from misty mountains down majestic rivers, through lush rainforests and waterlogged mangroves. Dive deeper to navigate through colorful coral reefs and dive head on into the ominous deep blue sea. The journey starts at the waterfall in the mountains. From here the water flows to lower expanse.

Upon entering the aquarium, visitors will be greeted by a stylish and colourful gallery that enables them to travel back in time to discover the evolution of fish – the world’s first vertebrates. This stunning blue water exhibit aims to enthuse and excite visitors.

Flooded Forest Tube Tank


This unique 5.3 metre high Flooded Forest Tube tank enchants visitors with aquatic exhibits that languidly swim within the water column up to the treetops.



Underwater Tunnel

The climax of the journey is the tunnel of the KL Aquaria. On a moving walkway inside the 90m acrylic tunnel, a view only previously accessible to divers venturing into the depths of the brilliant ocean is presented.


The 55mm-thick tunnel is curved, made to withstand an enormous amount of pressure from the 2.7 million litres of water that fills The Living Oceans aquarium. The glass is custom-made in Germany.

You can see more than 3,000 sea creatures of various shapes and sizes living harmoniously in this simulated natural habitat and they can hide in the hidden shipwreck, colonized by inquisitive reef inhabitants. Don miss exhibits like the Sand Tiger Sharks, stingrays, eels and more.
