Nice museum for kids up to 10 years explaining some basics on oil exploration and the importance of it for society. Remember it is being 'sponsored' by an oil company. They have a dinosaur and some interactive games explaining basic physics laws. OK for a 1 - 2 hour visit with interested kids. Not worth to go there for adults. More

This is how a science museum should be. Lots of space and lots of do-it-yourself. My kids really loved the place and we spent the entire day there. All the games and toys had a scientific bend to it and the concepts were clearly explained. There was a small magic show even, with the "magician" telling the kids the secret... More

KLCC is an onerous mall for kids so while mom spends you into poverty, dads can either go to Chili's, buy the kids some fries and ice cream while he gets wasted or go upstairs and walke the little tykes around, admit you know nothing about the scientific principles behind each exhibit, then after go get wasted.

We tried 3 times to get to the bridge and finally made it this time. The amount of money to go up to the observation deck was just not worth it. A 45 min tour could be done in 15 min. I believe you can see the same view from the KL Tower for free. More

My children love going here - there's plenty to do to keep them amused on a rainy day and it's very handy if you want to go shopping afterward! More
