I wish we come earlier. Very interesting and worth the entrance price. Sadly some exhibit is not working but no notice and we try to play with it just to waste our time on it

I highly recommend Petrosains for anyone visiting KL with kids.
It is a highly educational and hands on centre that our kids loved.
The centre is split into different themes such as dinosaurs, oil rigs, robots and space. Each different area is well themed and the kids imaginations run wild.
When we visited there was a number of activities that were closed due to covid restrictions. This did not detract from our visit to the centre.
We look forward to returning again soon!

This is a must see for us every time we visit KL, normally we end up visiting more than once. The children have an absolute ball and learn while having fun. The pneumatic diggers are an absolute hit. It's a shame that the COVID-19 measures are limiting some activities at the moment but hopefully they will lift soon. Really excellent value for money.

Lots to discover. Lots to touch and play (do sanitize after touching).
Kids and adults will love it. You easily spend 3 to 4 hours in there.

Petrosains in Kuala Lumpur is a amazing place that you must visit with kids. I went there for school trip. You can fun and play but at time same time you can gain the knowledge. I learn more about space, science, technology and others. The price is affordable. I'm so lucky to go there during Science show. So we can see they do experiment about science. No regret to visit this place.

This is a great place to come with the family and learn more about Space, the earth and geology, oil extraction and fun games like driving race cars, backhoes and many educational things. My young daughters loved all the hands on exhibits and ZI enjoyed both learning and teaching. Buy tickets on klook as they are cheapest.

I visited this centre last Sunday with my relatives. One of them is a five year old girl. She got a cut on her upper ear after bumping gently into a fixture. She needed three stitches. So it your centre really suitable for small kids?

Kids always get bumps and knocks where ever they are, there is nothing here that is particularly dangerous for kids, we took a 7 and 9 year old with no problems

Will it be too boring for 3yo toddlers?
Phil R

Largely depends on the 3 year old. There are activities which would be suitable, but not a lot. If your 3 year old needs to be constantly entertained with changing things they will get bored quickly, we took 7 and 9 year old, was good for them

Suria Mall where Petrosains is, is never quiet but like the others have mentioned, non-holiday weekdays are the best

1 - Yes!
2 - As per my review, if you want to make sure to get the best souvenirs, go there early. Also, if you have kids, make sure they are well rested and well fed because they'll be on foot for at least 3 hours. Avoid weekends at all costs because if the massive crowds and lengthy queuing times
3 - as above.
Enjoy!
