Enter a world of effervescent marine and freshwater species at the Aquaria KLCC. The submerged oceanarium contains 8 sections.

Farm in the city is a chance for kids to get close to farm animals safely. The animals live in separate enclosures designed to resemble their natural habitats. The children can pet the animals as long as they are with a farm supervisor. They’ll get up close and personal with horses (the smallest in the world), rare white cows, big rabbits, giant tortoises, iguanas, crocodiles, ferrets and marmosets.
