A display of marine life at the Aquaria KLCC in Malaysia<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

It’s not usual to encounter giant sharks and electric eels right in the heart of a modern metropolis. But Kuala Lumpur is unusual. It is one of the few cities that has a huge oceanarium in its central district. The Aquaria in the capital city of Malaysia takes you on a journey to a different world where you can plunge into water, explore the mysteries of marine life, and encounter weird creatures. The moments you spend inside the 90-m-long underwater tunnel will be etched in your heart forever.<\/p>\n

History<\/span><\/h2>\n

Construction of this state-of-the-art oceanarium started in 2003. It was thrown open to public in August 2005. Ever since then, it has been visited by millions of enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Things to Do<\/span><\/h2>\n

Observe the weird marine creatures:<\/strong> Spend some time at the ‘Weird & Wonderful’ zone that exhibits mysterious creatures like Pot-bellied Seahorse, Crocodile Fish, and Moon Jellies. This is where you can ride a glass-bottom boat. It is a simulated boat deck that lets you discover the underwater wonders.<\/p>\n

Explore Flooded Forests:<\/strong> Be it the Malaysian Flooded Forest or the Amazon Flooded Forest, there are tanks in the aquarium that have been recreated as marine forests where thousands of fish could be seen swirling.<\/p>\n

Try Underwater activities:<\/strong> Cage Rage is a thrilling activity wherein you go underwater in a cage and get close to resident sharks. If you are little more daring and have the tag of a certified diver, you can take the plunge into the oceanarium tank and encounter five different species of sharks.<\/p>\n

Visit the Electric Zone:<\/strong> You may have heard about electric catfish and electric eel, but you may not know that these fish actually discharge electricity in order to protect themselves. Elephant-nose fish is another member of such a league that you would see here.<\/p>\n

Host Personal Events:<\/strong> Have you ever thought of hosting a birthday part at the Aquaria? If yes, then it’s time you translated that thought into action. It will be a one-of-a-kind birthday party wherein the birthday boy or girl will be greeted by the divers and mascots will appear to grace the occasion. You can also propose someone for marriage in this wonderful venue. Your partner would remember this romantic gesture for lifetime as you take the plunge in the water and seek her consent for marriage.<\/p>\n
