Petrosains KLCC



Yesterday I plan a special outdoor trip as last week is a tension week for my daughter due to final term exam.

Ah Ci keep persuade her dad to bring her to Sunway Lagoon. as Sunway is kind of expensive at RM60 per adult and RM48 for children. I suggest we choose a cheaper destination KLCC Petrosains instead.

It turn out the science centre is a very fun place to bring a kid. You search the website or blog will most probably give you a brief information of the centre. The petrosains use a hand on approach and interative and fun way for kid to learn about general science. Yet the fundamental based for the centre is around petrosciences. It did so by providing a lot of simulator based equipment eg, tornado machine, plasma light, halogram light etc

After purchase ticket for RM24 for a family of two adult and two kids.We need to Q for entry via helmet like gondola trolley, which later the staff said is a oil drop shape dark ride. In the ride, we can see video display, and introduction of malaysia rainforest.The short ride end with a welcome staff at the real entrance of the centre.Ah Ci is relating the dark ride to the time machine of Doreamon.What an imagination of a six years old.!?

All the simulators has signboard attached to it and visitor can read the instruction on it before trying, and at the bottom part it will explain the theory part of the sciences involved in that particular simulator.
We try the hurricane simulator tube which is kind of exciting for everyone, the wind generate in the tube blow about 145KM/H which make me feel kind of out of control.I have to hold on to my spectacle as it almost fly away!!

It is so much fun bringing children to travel together or visit a new and exciting place.
