Places of Interest in KL and Selangor
I am planning for a trip with my family to following places of interest in KL and Selangor during this school holiday.
1)Aquarium KLCC
Known as AQUARIA, this centre is a good place to go for a time of entertainment as well as for education on the wonders of the marine world after your shopping in Suria KLCC. Located within 5 minutes walking distance from Suria KLCC, this aquarium features over 5,000 animals of 150 species of aquatic and land animals from Malaysia and around the world.
This AQUARIA is opened from 11am to 8pm everyday with the last admission at 7pm.

2)Royal Selangor Visitor Centre Visit the home of the world-renowned Royal Selangor pewter. Children and adults alike can enjoy a variety of attractions and gain insighs into the pewter industry.
3)Orang Asli Museum Gain an insight into the traditional lifestyles and cultures of the country's indigenous communities. Displays include weaponry, clothing, musical instruments and replicas of dwellings. Carey island is home to the indigenous Mah Meri community, famed for their woodcarvings and masks. Situated at Km 24, Jalan Gombak, visitors can have an insightful glimpse into the lifestyle and culture of Selangor's "Original People" or orang asli that is fast disappearing with development and modernisation. It has a vast collection of tribal heritage such as blowpipes, spears, porcelain and ancestral figurines.
4)Sunway Lagoon Theme Park The sprawling 80-acre Sunway Lagoon offers fantastic rides and attractions. Among the highlights are 'Waters of Africa', 'Wild Wild West' and the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge. The Wet World Water Park in Shah Alam is another popular attraction.
5)Taman Pertanian Malaysia (Malaysia Agriculture Park)The Malaysia Agriculture Park is the only agro-forestry park in this part of the world. It was initiated by the Agriculture Ministry of Malaysia in 1986
