Pro tips to help you make a pick

Petrosains' science shows happen throughout the day, and it's not something you want to miss! Check the schedule beforehand so you can plan better.

Petrosains often runs workshops like 3D printing or robotics in the Maker Studio, especially during holidays, so check for any special events happening during your visit.

Head to the Escape Capsule first; it's a popular attraction and the queues get longer through the day.

Petrosains is located inside Suria KLCC, which also offers great shopping, dining, and access to the Petronas Twin Towers. Plan a full day around visiting multiple attractions in the area.

Don’t skip the Tech Lab if you’re interested in the latest gadgets and technology. The Tech Lab features interactive stations where you can engage with emerging technologies such as VR and robotics.

I really loved the Malaysian desserts because I can't find them anywhere else. The chewy glutinous rice base with pandan or what I think was gula melaka were delicious. Sago with coconut milk — yum!
