Kuala Lumpur Tower (Menara Kuala Lumpur, KL Tower) Reviews
 Go up to the fifth tallest freestanding tower in the world! Sep 01, 2009
The tower was opened in 1996 and is 421 m hight.
The observation platform is located at 276 m. From there, the view on the city of Kuala Lumpur and around is really impressive. It was not at all crowded when I got there, it was really possible to enjoy some spots and details you could be interested in. All around, there are free binoculars to enjoy it even more. I found it funny to see from above buildings I visited during the day. The ticket was around 35RM if I remember right. You can only purchase a ticket combined with some other attractions around. If you do not have a lot of time in Kuala Lumpur, you really can skip them, there was nothing really interesting about it (some animals in small boxes and a F1 simulator). I did not try at all the tour to the jungle as it was not the right time when I was there.  Part of the My bachelor internship travel blog

Up-there view of KL city Aug 09, 2009
Our RM38 ticket took us all the way up the tower. There were shops selling little souvenirs, and one shopwoman who was worried we would steal so she kept following us around. I really don't think I look dishonest!! And then when we looked at some metallic souvenirs, she went, "these are made of PEEWWW-TTTER" which amused me no-end.
Ok on to the scene. It's one of those touristy things to do in KL, see the whole KL, and pose by the Twin Towers. I think at 7pm the lights on the Twin Towers were not lit yet...so if you like night photos maybe it's better to go after 7.30pm. Don't forget that from the bottom of the tower, there is a shuttle bus going up. So, save your legs! The ticket also includes a visit to the little zoo, a pony ride ("but only if you're under 50kg") and an F1 simulator game. Part of the KL over the weekend travel blog

360 degree view of KL Aug 18, 2008
The Menara KL tower is the 4th tallest communication tower in the world to date, making it one of the highlights to a visit to Kuala Lumpur.
It is located within the city and is about a 10-minute taxi ride from the Petronas. The tower has several activities to offer. There are souvenir and food shops at the lobby and you will be charged a small amount to be able to go about 400m up. Up in the observation deck, there are available voice tours (also available in several languages) that explains facts about the tower. There's also complimentary use of high-magnifying binoculars. There is also a revolving restaurant that we wanted to go to but failed to visit ;( It is recommended to make reservations for it. Part of the Tasha's adventures travel blog |

KL Tower, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia Jan 27, 2008
Visiting the KL Tower is much more worth it then going to the Petronas Twin Towers. Why? Cause you can go higher then in the twin tower. You can have a real 360 degree view from there.
The height of the observation platform is at 276 meter while in the twin tower you can only go as high as the connecting bridge which is at 170 meter. At the base of the hill, KL Tower is build on a hill namely, there's a free shuttle bus which will bring you to the entrance. So no need to clime the steep hill. And for RM20,- a fast speed elevator brings up to the observation platform. All in all quite worth I think, least you have a bit of an idea how the city looks like from above. Don't forget to bring your camera! PS. Perhaps better to be skipped if you're afraid of heights;)

One of the highest concrete & communication towers in the world situated in the middle of Kuala Lumpur. It's one of the main attraction of the city because of its fine architecture and engineering. It also has a view deck with an amazing view of the city in 360(deg)! It's definitely a must see if you visit Kuala Lumpur. It was awesome when I went in the early afternoon, but I wish I had the chance to go back at sunset because they say it's breathtaking and very romantic. The ticket to go up the view deck is fairly cheap. Atop the tower also has a revolving restaurant with exorbitant pricing (based on the menu only), but I heard the food is quite ordinary for the price.

Each tower was built by a different team, one by the Japanese and one by the Koreans; the Japanese topped out first, but the Koreans claimed the glory for the construction of the bridge. Next stop was the Menara KL Tower, at 421m… Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower |

The drain drizzles down as I walk uphill toward Menara (KL) Tower, the fifth tallest tower in the world, which has an amazing panoramic view at the top that actually looks down on the Petronas Towers. It's twilight when I get there, and amongst the tourists and wedding guests of a couple… They Built Skyscrapers in the Jungle |

The next day I went to the Menara KL tower, which has the highest views of the city so took tons of photos there too. They also have a small zoo at the bottom with lots of snakes, including a 24ft reticulated python. It was huge! I held a smaller… Two whole months |

While crossing arround the city, we found an Indonesian restaurant which offered quite good food for no money (2 persons incl. drinks --> EUR 10,-). After our dinner we went back to our hotel on foot.
Tomorrow we're going to go to the Batu Caves, 12 km north of the city and to the Menara KL Tower (TV tower). … Arrival in Kuala Lumpur |
