What’s inside the Petronas Twin Towers?

Petronas Twin Towers Skybridge

The first stop on the Petronas Twin Towers tour, the Skybridge opens out like a glassy corridor that links the identical towers. The double-decker bridge, the highest in the world, sits at a lofty 170 metres above ground and weighs about 750 tons! As you walk through, observe the beauty of the Skybridge that’s snugly bookended by the towers and yet is not fully attached to them. Your ten minutes here will also have to be dedicated to taking in the views of the unfolding city - complete with skyscrapers, busy streets and tranquil parks.

Petronas Twin Towers Observation Deck

Next, soar up to the 86th level of the Petronas Twin Towers for the high point of your tour, quite literally! The softly lit, expansive Deck features long windows that look out into bustling Kuala Lumpur. Just behind the window are sight-seeing telescopes that help you zoom into the buildings and streets that dot the city. The Deck also affords a full view of the spire that crowns each of the towers and reaches out to the open skies. Finally, spend some time at the interactive displays and glass-encased models of the building that delve into its history and significance.

Petrosains, The Discovery Centre 

Once you’ve wrapped up the tour, head to Petrosains, The Discovery Centre that’s located on the fourth level of Tower 2. This is a separately ticketed experience and is popular with children and families. Petrosains is a science centre fitted with zones that are dedicated to technological, engineering and scientific innovations. Lined up in a square, the zones start off at Sparkz - an interactive space with paper helicopters and grain pits for younger children. Next, you can hop on to a Formula 1 simulator at Speed, catch a 3D film, get close to life-like dinosaurs and finish off with a meet and greet with steely robots.

How to go inside the Petronas Twin Towers? 

The Petronas Twin Towers has two entry points. The Dewan Filharmonik entrance is the one at the main foyer. There is also an entry through Suria KLCC Mall, which stands at the foot of the towers.
