Malaysia has a large number of attractions mainly aimed at tourists and locals who want to have a good time exploring the new and the adventurous. Amongst the many themed parks and other highlights is the Aquaria KLCC. It is a stunning aquarium located underneath the well known Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre which is located within the Kuala Lumpur City Centre development area.

For anyone keen to know about the background of this project, it would be interesting to know that the construction work of this massive aquarium commenced on 1st of January 1994. After exactly one year, it was declared officially completed at the dawn of 1st of January 1995. However, the official opening was held later; it was declared open by Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad at midnight on 1st of January 1998.

At the aquarium, there are tunnels that are massive and long and which span more than 300 feet. A walk down these tunnels will give any tourist an opportunity to familiarize themselves with more than 250 different species not only from Malaysia but also from all over the world. It is a perfect place to go with kids to explore the many mysteries of nature and to familiarize yourself with the fascinating world that lies under the water. For those who are keen to know more information about the fish and the turtles and other species, there are a number of interactive information kiosks located here.

Themed on the journey of water from the springs of the land to ultimately end up in the oceans, it is indeed an experience of a lifetime. Thus, the journey begins from the mountains wrapped in mist, flowing down through streams and rivers, and through rainforests and mangroves to coral reefs to the ocean.

To experience this amazing journey of water, stay at a Kuala Lumpur hotel which is located close by or at a hotel in Bukit Bintang such as Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur. The journey will be well worth the experience for you and your family and you are sure to be amazed everywhere you turn as you come face to face with the exotic and captivating creatures of the deep.
