A Real Parent's Story
She held a starfish and didn't scream
“My 4-year-old, who shrieks at the sight of a ladybug, calmly held a starfish at the touch pool. She stared at it for 5 minutes, then looked up and said 'It's tickly, Mama.' Pure magic.”

Aquaria KLCC is surprisingly impressive for a mall-basement aquarium. The 90-meter tunnel is the star — you walk through it on a moving walkway while sharks and rays glide overhead. The touch pool was our daughter's favorite. The aquarium is well-maintained and the staff clearly care about the animals. We spent 2.5 hours here and could have stayed longer.
