Second tome to this pewter factory so we just got a taxi to it and was greeted by a very nice guide Gloria who know we were on a tight schedule so gave us our very own tour, she was very informative and quite funny which is always nice. We bought numerous items in the shop which we had planned to get all done in half an hour which was fantastic, great work Gloria ????
5. Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,499 reviews
Large open-plan museum on four levels with an impressive collection of Islamic artifacts. The wood carvings are a consistent favorite.
Reviewed By HananB308 - Ramat Gan, Israel
This museum should be a required visit by tourists visiting KL. It deals with a great deal of the culture, crafts and history of the Muslim world, and as such bestows a great deal of honor to that world. A great deal of thought and effort went into the curating of the museum. The sheer amount of material on display requires a long visit or several shorter ones.

This ornate Chinese temple dedicated to the Queen of Heaven, Thean Hou, protectorate of people who make their living from the sea. The temple borrows from Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian traditions. Some visitors believe the panoramic views of KL alone make the trip up the hill worthwhile.

What a total opposite to the disgraceful dump that is the Hindu Batu Caves that we visited earlier in the day . It is amazing how different religions and attitudes can be so different This beautiful temple is immaculately maintained and has a peaceful ambiance . Set on a hill top it has stunning views across the city . Grab a Grab and make this one of your must sees whilst in KL.

Interactive science museum for kids, located in the Petronas Towers.
Reviewed By AdelaideFamilyof5 - Reynella, Australia
This place is on Level 4 of Petronas Towers. When we arrived there was a school group in front of us and we thought it may make our experience longer than normal. Except for the beginning, it wasn't an issue. Cost when we were there was 28 MYR per person. At the beginning you are taken on a small cart on wheels and they step you through some technology over different areas of Malaysia's history. You are the dropped into the exhibition area. There are 11 exhibits to see. Space, Time Tunnel, Geotime Diorama, Science Station, Sparkz, Oil Platform, Speed, Molecule Nano World, Future Energy and 3D Theatre. There is a Cafe about 1/2 way through which stocks basic snacks and coffee at a reasonable price. After 2 hours we had only done 1/2 of the exhibitions. We rushed the last bit and had already spent 3.5 hours there. Could of spent 4-5 hours.
