What They Say

“ “ Amazing Tower in the heart of Kuala Lumpur! If you stay in Kuala Lumpur a visit of the menses is a must to! The view on the top is really amazing! ” Maximilian
“ “ Amazing Tower in the heart of Kuala Lumpur! If you stay in Kuala Lumpur a visit of the menses is a must to! The view on the top is really amazing! ” GrandTour90228
“ “ Make sure to go when the wheater is good. Fortunately, the queue wasn't long so we doesn't have to wait for long. A very good experience for my family. We loved it so much.. Recommended!! ” Aumirah Aubaidi
“ “ The 360 view is outstanding. Nothing you can have at the Twin Towers. Take a coffee outside at an altitude of 300 meters, I know no other place you can do that. Go for SkyDeck, not only observation deck. We arrived just after 9AM and it was almost empty. When we left there was a long que. Be there early. ” larssq
“ “ Amazing experience, weather excellent, slight breeze but what a view. Breakfast of coffee and ice cream at the cafe on the observation deck. Friendly and informative staff. ” Tracey Miller
“ “ Magnificent from afar, be it in the day or night. Interestingly, the Kuala Lumpur tower was visible right at my hotel balcony. The tower was lighted up every evening and many arrays of colours were used. I guess it’s better to see it from a distance then to see it from its bottom. ” Your Travel Buddy SG
“ “ We arrived at 10:00 hours and nearly had the Skydeck to ourselves. Great views over the city. We spent some time in the cafe drinking sodas whilst watching the wonderful view. We went down to the Observation Deck later; we think the view from the Skydeck was much better. ” Chris H

KL Tower – All You Need To Know Before You Go

kl tower visit time

Victoria Heinz

  • May 26, 2024

If you’re wondering if visiting the KL Tower is worth it, when the best time to go is, and what the ticket prices are like, this complete guide will help you plan your trip.

While the Petronas Towers are Kuala Lumpur’s most famous skyscraper, they may not be the best choice to get a view of the city. The KL Tower is slightly less popular among tourists but also cheaper and a lot easier to visit.

To go to the top of the Petronas Towers, you need to pre-book a designated time slot, and the popular times do tend to sell out quickly. The slots are strictly constrained to 45 minutes, and you cannot stay longer than that.

The KL Tower, however, has no such rules and you get to go whenever you like and stay as long as you wish.

I also think the view is better at the KL Tower since you get to see the Petronas Towers, which makes the skyline a lot more recognisable.

Why you can trust this article about the KL Tower

Hi, I’m Victoria and I’m here to help you plan your trip to Kuala Lumpur and the rest of Malaysia.

I spent a year living and working in KL, and now that Bali in Indonesia is my permanent home base, I get to come to this beautiful city several times per year since it’s so close.

Because I was living in Kuala Lumpur permanently, I have a lot more insight into the city than a normal tourist would and I can help you plan your trip there with accurate and up-to-date travel advice.

Whether you’re looking for the best affordable places to eat , the best shopping malls , or guides to attractions like the Batu Caves , Thean Hou Temple or the KL Tower , I’ve got you covered.

I go to the KL Tower at least once every time I visit the city, so I’ll be the first to know if something changes.

Where is the KL Tower located?

The KL Tower sits just west of Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) on the outskirts of Bukit Bintang. It’s within walking distance from all other popular sightseeing points such as KLCC Park, the Petronas Towers, Pavilion Shopping Centre and many more.

How to get to the KL Tower

The Tower is located on Bukit Nanas Hill, where you can also find the Forest Eco Park. Getting there can be slightly tricky. You can walk, but since it’s uphill in the humidity, it won’t be a very pleasant experience. If you do decide to attempt this, I would recommend walking through the Forest Eco Park to at least give you something to see on the way up.

There is also the main road that leads up to the KL Tower. It’s better to choose this route on the way down in my opinion.

The easiest way to get to the KL Tower is by simply taking a Grab or taxi. This will take you right to the doorstep and won’t cost much, depending on where you are taking it from.

The KL Hop-on Hop-off Bus also stops there.

The closest Monorail station is Bukit Nanas, and Dang Wangi is the closest MRT station. From both, you’ll have to walk for roughly 20 minutes to reach the tower.

Kl Tower facts

The tower was built in 1995 and it serves as a communications tower as well as being a tourist attraction. While the viewing platform is 335 metres high, the tower technically measures 421 metres because of its large antenna. In addition to that, it sits on top of a hill (Bukit Nanas), which makes it feel a lot higher than it actually is.

The KL Tower is the seventh-largest free-standing tower in the world. Right next to it, there is a 100-year-old jelutong tree, which was not harmed during construction. Specific measures were taken to protect it despite its proximity to the construction site. You can visit the tree from the lobby of the tower.

The tower has a revolving restaurant from which visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the city during a nice dinner.

Every year a race is held for who can climb the stairs to the top of the tower the fastest.

Opening hours of the KL Tower

The opening hours for the tower are 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day. This might differ slightly during public holidays. Check out the  official website   for details.

When is the best time to visit the KL Tower?

Like with most popular tourist attractions, the best time to visit the KL Tower is early in the morning. I’ve had the best experiences at the tower at 9:00 AM in the morning when it opens. During that time, you’ll be sharing the platforms with only around 20 other people at the most.

If you’re interested in going into one of the glass bottom “Skyboxes” you should definitely avoid peak periods. The lines for the Skyboxes tend to get very long during the day, whereas in the morning you can go as often as you want.

Another factor is the heat. If you choose to go to the KL Tower Sky Deck, the open-air platform, you’ll be completely exposed to the sun with little shade. In the morning this isn’t too much of a problem but the hot afternoon sun will definitely keep you from staying too long.

The tower is also a lot quieter during the week as most people tend to visit on the weekend.

KL Tower tickets and prices

There are two decks at the KL Tower: the Observation Deck, which is enclosed, and the Sky Deck, which is open-air. The prices are as follows:

Observation Deck Malaysian Citizen  RM 30  (~ €5.80) Observation Deck Foreigner  RM 60  (~ €11.75)

Sky Deck (includes Observation Deck) Malaysian Citizen  RM 71  (~ €13.90)

Sky Deck (includes Observation Deck) Foreigner  RM 110  (~ €21.54)

You can buy tickets online or at the tower. If you’re planning on visiting during the day, it might save you time if you buy the tickets online in advance. Otherwise, there is no reason to.

These tickets are quite expensive, especially for South-East Asia. However, I do think paying more to see the Sky Deck is worth it. I was pretty underwhelmed by the Observation Deck and thought going all the way to the top made a big difference.

The different platforms

After buying your tickets in the lobby you’ll get on an elevator that takes you to the Observation Deck. Here, you can spend as much time as you like wandering around the circular deck. There is a small gift/snack shop.

However, don’t stay for too long. The more exciting platform is definitely the Sky Deck, as it is open-air and even higher.

Kuala Lumpur Guide your Travel Blog

They tend to open this platform slightly later than the Observation Deck (around 9:15 AM to 9:30 AM). I’m not exactly sure why, but it’s usually something to do with the elevators. If you ask the staff kindly they tend to let you use the stairs to go to the top before anyone else. I can’t guarantee that this works every time, though, in my experience, it usually does.

The Sky Deck is circular, but you cannot walk all the way around. On opposite sides are the two Skyboxes for which you have to draw a number to wait in line. Glas railings separate the visitors from the steep drop below.

Observation deck of the kuala lumpur tower

KL Tower Skyboxes

The so-called “Skyboxes” are glass-bottom boxes suspended over the side of the tower. They are open-air and not for the faint of heart.

To avoid actual lines forming, the tower has a ticket system in place. To draw a number, you have to go inside back to where the elevators are. Then, you wait until your number appears on one of the large screens. There are two different Skyboxes, so be careful which one you draw a number for.

skybox kl tower rules and safety guidelines

You need to take off your shoes to go into the Skybox, and up to three people can go into one box at once. However, if you draw a ticket, you are guaranteed to be alone in the box if you wish and won’t have to share it with strangers.

Each person gets to spend five minutes in the box, but not more. You can ask some of the friendly staff to take your picture.

If you have the chance, I can recommend trying both of the Skyboxes. The views are very different, and the experience is unique.

They have also recently started offering “Tower Walks”, where you can walk along the edge of the tower strapped into a harness. Tickets are pretty affordable, and even though the experience is quite short, it’s worth it.

Food and restaurants

In the lobby, you’ll find a good selection of small restaurants if you get hungry after your visit to the tower. They aren’t the cheapest, however, and the prices at these KL Tower restaurants can be slightly higher than around town.

If you’re not in a rush, then why not head over towards KLCC instead, where you’ll find some of the city’s  best and cheapest restaurants ?

How long should you stay?

I would say you can spend around one hour at the KL Tower if you do not have to wait in line. This gives you plenty of time to look around, take photos and enjoy the views. If you’re going during rush periods, add at least 30 to 60 minutes in wait time.

With so many great photo opportunities in KL, you’ll love these Malaysia-inspired Instagram captions .

What is close to the KL Tower?

After you visit the KL Tower, there are plenty of things to do close by. I highly recommend the Forest Eco Park, which sits right next to the tower. Unfortunately, they increased the entrance prices quite a bit in recent years, but it’s still a nice place to visit.

There are also the Upside Down House and the KL Mini Zoo, both of which I am not a big fan of. If you want to read more about why, then check out our  19 Things to do in Kuala Lumpur and 6 you should skip post here.

If you want to go a bit further, why not check out KLCC or Bukit Bintang, with its many attractions. Experience KL’s hidden bar scene by visiting one of the many  secret speakeasies in the city  or go on a shopping spree in the  great selection of shopping malls in the city .

The possibilities in KL are always endless.

KL Tower FAQ

The ticket price for the KL Tower is RM 110 for adults who are not from Malaysia.

Both the KL and the Petronas Towers are well worth visiting for tourists, but the KL Tower has a slightly better view.

There is no dress code for the KL Tower; just make sure you are wearing shoes and a shirt to get in.

The KL Tower opening hours are from 9:00 AM until 10:00 PM.

The construction of the tower was initiated by Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.

Since the tower is very narrow, it only technically has 15 stories, despite its height.

KL Tower Questions & Answers

kl tower visit time

How long does it take to visit the observation deck and sky box?

kl tower visit time

Depending on the crowd. I assume you are asking about the KL tower. It took us over 2 hours. I did not go to the Petronas Towers bridge.

kl tower visit time

An hour should be more than enough

kl tower visit time

The Menara Kuala Lumpur goes faster than the Petronas Towers--that one must book in advance. It is possible to pay and get to the top in around 20 minutes on a good day. It is the sky box that takes time because everyone wants pictures. The lines seemed quite long for the sky box during the week day I was there. I would say 1-2 hours also--and you will want to spend some time just looking because the views, the breezes, the light (unless it is raining) are all wonderful. Enjoy!

kl tower visit time

Should take about 1 to 11/2 hours depending on the number of people in the queue

kl tower visit time

Around 1-2 hrs

kl tower visit time

An hour provided the queue for the sky boxis small. Then 15min to get photos if you buy them. I'd say 2hs to be safe.

kl tower visit time

Sky box each person is allocated around 5 mins for phototaking inside the box. Outside i think will take you 20 mins or less. As for observation deck, pretty much is nothing much as u already seen most at the sky deck so i guess should be 15 mins or less. In all, less than 1 hours for both.

KL Tower – Top attraction in Kuala Lumpur

Posted on Last updated: October 6, 2020

Categories Uncategorized

Kuala Lumpur Tower (KL Tower, Menara Kuala Lumpur) is the iconic architecture feature in every postcard and printed materials about Kuala Lumpur. It was completed on 1 March 1995 as the telecommunication tower and subsequently evolved to become one of the must-visit places for tourists.

KL Towers rise above all the skyscrapers with 421 meters. Today, it is still the tallest telecommunications tower in Asia, and seventh in the world

Kuala Lumpur Tower

Entrances to KL Tower 

Since KL Tower is located within the KL Forest Eco Park, there a few entrances you can choose.

  • The main entrance of KL Towe r is the most popular choice, which you can drive and park in its parking area.
  • The second entrance is from Jalan Bukit Nenas after you walk pass The Cathedral of St. John and St. John Institution. The downside is, there are no parking lots nearby and quite a distance from the train and bus station.
  • Another entrance is near the junction of Jalan Ampang and Jalan Sultan Ismail. This entrance is the easiest way to get to KL Tower if you are using the MRT, as the Bukit Nenas station is at the junction. The entrance to the KL Eco Park is about one hundred meters after turning into Jalan Ampang.

The Jalan Ampang option is not the direct access to KL Tower, as you have to walk through the trails through the park to reach the KL Tower (about 20 minutes). However, it is perfect for anyone who likes nature and plans to visit the park during the same trip.

Japan Ampang entrance to KL Forest Eco Park

The Sky Deck

The Sky Deck is located at the roof level, which is the main attraction of KL Tower.  It is at 300 meters above ground level, with no rooftop and obstruction.

The best time to visit KL Tower is in the evening. You can enjoy the panoramic scenery of Kuala Lumpur, have dinner at the Atmosphere 360 revolving restaurant and taking some incredible night view of the city. Make sure to bring along the tripod to take photos of the brightly lit skyline.

Over here, you can get the best view of the Petronas Twin Tower.

Sky Deck of KL Tower

There was a little hazy at the time I visited the Sky Deck, but still, manage to get some extraordinary view of the KL skyline. 

kl tower visit time

The unique glass box experience

You will be given a ticket when you take the lift to Sky Deck. Since there are only two glass boxes, you are allowed to be in the box for a limited time when your ticket number is called. 

Glass box at Sky Deck

There are two glass boxes at the Sky Deck. The glass boxes are protruded out from the edge of the tower.  You know that it is safe, but your eyes trick you. Take a deep breath before you step forward. Are you mad?

Glass box at KL Tower

Observation deck

The observation deck is located below the Skydeck, which is enclosed with large glass panels. It is 276 meters above ground level, and still one of the best places to enjoy the stunning and thrilling view of the bustling city.

Shops at the observation deck

Note : Since the glass is slightly tinted, plus the reflection of the light inside the observation deck, you will not get a clear view, especially at night. Go up to the Sky Deck to get the incredible view.

KL Forest Eco Park

KL Forest Eco Park (formerly known as Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve), is a micro-sized rain forest in the heart of the city. It’s perhaps the tiniest forest reserve in Malaysia.

It is a real rain forest , the remnant of the forest once covered this part of Klang Valley. In contrary, Gasing Hill forest, which is located at the border of Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya is a secondary forest.

The hanging bridge in the Eco Park

There are several trails in this tiny jungle, which takes you less than half an hour to walk from one end to the other.

Entrance is free, and you walk through the jungle to reach the KL Tower. 

Jelutong trail is one of the longest trails in the KL Eco Park

There is a 200-meter canopy walk. It was under refurbishment when I was there. I will come back to add some images in the future.

Upside Down House

The upside-down house is located at halfway between the KL Tower and the Eco Park. It is a fun place for kids and an ideal spot for eye-catching photos for Instagram.

The entrance of the upside-down house.

There are a few rooms inside the house. They are all ideal for taking photos with outrageous action.

Upside Down House at KL Tower

Blue Coral Aquarium

This small aquarium is situated on the ground floor of the Tower. It is not the main attraction, and you will not miss much if you do not have time to visit this place.

The entrance fee is inclusive in the KL Tower ticket (the comprehensive package). Do not purchase the ticket individually as it is more costly.

Blue coral aquarium at KL Tower

Mini Zoo 

There is a mini Zoo situated on the left of the entrance of KL Tower. There is not much to see, according to the officer at the ticket counter. So I have decided to give it a pass. The all-inclusive package includes the admission fee of the Mini Zoo.
