- wireless_in_CAUnited States4,902 contributionsLocated in Merdaka Square, the main draw seems to be the I Love KL sign out in front. However, there was a much better sign located on the second floor but not in red.
On the first floor was a small diorama of KL, a room cataloguing history of KL as well as a busy cafe and gift shop.
The second floor was much quieter so don’t miss it. Here was a much larger 3D model of the greater KL city in one large room, a wall with details about the tall buildings in KL, an angel wings wall (for IGs), a cool floating model of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building.Written 19 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
