    Discover science at a new level!
    A very well made museum with great activities for both kids and adults to discover about the ways of science and how science is all around us. I would suggest to book tickets in advance and allow yourself a good 2-4h if you really want to enjoy everything. We spent so long in the first part of the museum that we had to rush the other parts to make our other plans.

    Great experience for science lover
    Visiting here for in the morning where it was not too crowded, and the experience is not disappointing and above my expectation. They have lot of activities for kids (ours are teens) and adult, i.e. games, displays, hands-on, etc. and they are so engaging, that in the end we spent almost 4 hours.

    A world within a world.
    Suria KLCC is a great world class shopping Centre with a beautiful park alongside but shopping centres as pretty as they may be are essentially for shopping. Petrosains SDC is like a hidden world full of educational wonders. Put it on your next KL visit list and you will not be disappointed. Oh well, take the kids along if you must :)

Our recent visit to Petrosains Science Discovery Centre was disappointing. The activities were too closely packed together, making it challenging to navigate and queue. especially on weekends when the crowd size is larger. It would be great if the activities were spread out more, allowing visitors to have enough space to queue and play comfortably. Additionally, many stations were not working properly, indicating poor maintenance. This was disappointing as it limited our ability to fully engage with and explore the exhibits.

The arcade section, which seemed out of place in a science centre, had height restrictions of 150cm that excluded younger children. This meant that families with younger children were unable to fully enjoy this section. I believe it would be beneficial to include a few rides specifically designed for kids below 140cm to provide a more inclusive experience for families.

one notable exhibit at Petrosains Science Discovery Centre was a large area showcasing a mockup of an offshore oil station. While it was interesting to see and learn about the setup, there was limited interaction available for visitors. It would have been great if there were more hands-on activities or simulations to enhance the educational experience and provide a better understanding of how such stations operate.

Overall, the experience did not meet our expectations, and considering the high price of 155 ringgit for non-Malaysians, I cannot recommend it as a worthwhile experience. I personally won't be visiting again, as I believe there are better options available that offer a more fulfilling and value-for-money experience.

One of the most affordable attractions in KL. Kids fee only rm10 (Malaysian). Worth every penny. You will need to spend minimum 2-3hours. Please come in the morning or you will missed a lot of stuff in there.

This was our 3rd visit. We went in at 3:30pm and we missed:
- big slide (close at 4:30. )
- mini movie (close at 4:30)
- makers studio also close early.
-Even the cafe closed. This pissed me off because kids were hungry and thirsty. The food were plenty but they wont serve us because its 5pm!!

At least put up a vending machine.

Oh and the capsule ride is rm5/pax. They used to be free. Kids enjoy the ride.

Very few changes since they opened up, and we have been coming here over the past 10 years and it’s obvious it’s not fully up to date. A number of activities/showcase’s aren’t even working despite they had time during the pandemic to sort this out.

It will be over last visit until the give this place a full overhaul.

An interesting concept science centre which starts off with a right to talk about the energy and its transition. This is followed by alot of hands on experiments. However, place ia very crowded with many school kids and long queuea for many of the experiences.
