Had a great time here; both as an adult myself and with my 6 year old.
It’s located at the top floor within KLCC mall and we hopped in for the early entry at 9.30am.
Tickets can be pre purchased online or via automatic ticket booth if you happened to be visiting the mall.
We planned according to weather forecast so decided to spend the day indoor and was amazed by the number of displays inside.
Engaging science displays, interactive mining and automation/robotic exhibit, dinosaurs, VR formula one rides and so much more.
Ticket price is affordable and great visit to add in addition to the twin tower access.

After a disappointing experience on the Twin Towers Tour (broken lift so had to rebook for a later slot), we visited the nearest attraction for convenience. It was absolutely brilliant, excellent fun for two adults, a 16 year old and a 10 year old. So much to do and see, and just keeps going on forever; when we thought we’d finished (after about 1.5 hours), there was another whole section. Would be easy to spend 4+ hours here, and I wish we had allowed more time.
Entry was RM140 total for 3 adults & 1 child (included RM5 each for a capsule ride). Very well worth it, great fun and educational and thought-provoking too.

Located inside the Suria KLCC shopping center, it turned out to be a real surprise, even for an absolutely honest price. A very nice interactive museum, especially suitable for children, but in some installations interesting also for adults. Perfect during rainy days. Recommended.

Great "physics" exhibition. Young and old can try things out. We enjoyed it wonderfully. Admission is small. You are not allowed to bring bags in, but there are free lockers. However, you should bring a little time. We were there for almost three hours.

The museum is a beautiful Attraction, there are many Fun and interesting Things to do. The course is great. We had a good time. However, the cafeteria inside the museum is to be avoided. The dining area is extremely dirty (tables, floor), no staff to keep the places clean and dignified to settle with our child to snack. The table and chairs are cleaned with the same cloth. But the worst part is that my husband caught a major gastro, after ordering a cappucino. Probably the milk was not fresh!!! He was sick of it all night.
Small flat also for the toilet, it is not clean.

Wow wow wow, this place was way larger and more fun than we were expecting. Multiple zones full of fun and unique and unique interactive exhibits displaying all manner of scientific principles. Clearly excellent for kids but we were just two grown adults who had just as much fun. We spent a couple of hours here and had a great time, in our opinion the best thing to do in the Mall under the Petronas Towers

It is a very fun hands-on science museum. I visited it because of my child, but my child really liked it because there was a lot for adults to enjoy, and most of all, it was a science museum where you could experience things rather than just see them. It was quite large and took a lot of time, but I was able to look around without noticing the time passing. If you go early in the morning, you can use it without waiting. There were more people in the afternoon. I highly recommend visiting.

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.

Our trip to KL was a 4 day trip from the 27th to the 31st of December and all entertainment was planned solely for the kids. After some research I was able to shortlist a couple of attractions to take the kids to and the Discovery Centre topped the list.
What a fantastic trip it was both my kids 2.5 and 3.5yr olds loved it, enjoyed every minute of it and so did we. We spent about 3hrs in there,opted for walking in as we had to wait for 45min for the ride. The entrance ticket costs about 28MR for adults and 16.5MR for kids.
It was such an educational and fun filled trip.

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.

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?
Written 6 May 2019
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

Hi I will visiting petrosains in this sept 2017. My questions are :
1.is the dinosaur attraction already open?
2. Im visiting Kl in friday until sunday only, what day and timing that best for go to petrosains? That not too crowded..
3. How many hour mostly people spending time in petrosains?
Thanks alot:)
Written 31 August 2017
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!
