An attraction that’s free and right in the heart of KL? We love it! KLCC Park located just outside the popular Petronas Twin Towers and Suria KLCC Shopping Center is a fantastic place to bring your toddlers for a day out in the sun. Come in the early mornings or late evenings to avoid the scorching sun, and be sure to pack some sunblock, hat, and swimming attire. First, explore the two-acre children’s playground, then take a dip in the wading pool, and dry off by taking a stroll along the footpaths. The park is open daily from 7am to 10pm.
