KL Tower Pony Ride is part of the package when you visit & go up Menara Tower. You will be able to enjoy a round of horse ride. My husband was denied a ride coz the guide thought he exceed the weight limit. I was able to enjoy 2 rounds of ride in behalf of my husband.

I decided to visit the Menara Telecommunications tower as I could see that it would be just the place to get the view that I hoped that I could get at the Petronis towers but after the very early morning hassle to get a ticket I gave it a big miss as it was just so far to get to early in the morning to where I was staying...I wasn't dissa pointed...absolutley amazing views..as this is the frourth tallest tower in the world (at 421 meters)I was assured of a great view...a great experience..great photo opportunity also...big sets of binoculars available

Menara KL Tower
apbeaches profile photo
apbeaches 670 reviews

The KL Tower is a tall tower located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and was built in 1995. It is used for communication purposes and features an antenna that reaches 1,381 ft, which currently makes it the fifth tallest freestanding tower in the world. The roof of the pod is at 1,099 ft. The rest of the tower below has a stairwell and an elevator to reach the upper area, which also contains a revolving restaurant, providing diners a beautiful view of the city. Races are organised yearly where participants race up the stairs to the top. The tower also acts as the Islamic falak observatory to look for the crescent moon to mark the beginning of Muslim month of Ramadhan, Syawal, and Zulhijjah, to celebrate fasting month of Ramadhan, Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Aidiladha.

This to me was better than the Petronas Towers. The Petronas Towers are spectacular at night as they light up light a thousand crystals stacked end on end but at night the Menara Tower puts on a light show worthy of it's statue. The tower is a great land mark to navigate your way around KL. The view from the viewing platform is unsurpassed and much higher than the Petronas Towers cross walk. The price of entry is worth the view plus it gives you entry to a limit animal zoo and a winter wonderland display (in KL - go figure)

This Tower is a 421 metre high Telecommunications and Broadcasting Tower. The Tower is at the top of Bukit Nanas. There is a FREE SHUTTLE that will take you up and down the hill.
We arrived late afternoon, so we could see the view in daylight, and also at night time. Value for money this way. The views are great. Headphones are given for you to wear, just ask for you language. Admission in 2008 was 8rm.

The KL Tower

If you are in KL don't miss a trip to KL Tower or officially known as Menara Kuala Lumpur. It is the 4th tallest telecommunication tower in the world standing majestically at the height of 421 metres located at the fringe of the Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve. With the theme "Culture, Adventure, Nature", visitors are able to sample various attractions such as:

> Traditional dances by Menara Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Group,
> The physically exhilarating Flying Fox ride,
> For nature enthusiast, take a stroll in the jungle,
> Take in the magnificent view of KL from the Observation Deck, or
> Go through the gastronomic experience at the Revolving Restaurants.

Besides the regular attractions, there are other annual events held at the tower. Towerthon is held every February in conjunction with the Federal Territory Day and KL International Base Jump every August as part of the National Day celebration.

A new zoo at Menara Kuala Lumpur

Menara Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The world’s fourth tallest communications tower, Kuala Lumpur Tower has views which may be considered better than those at Petronas. When we went up there, there still wasn’t a zoo, but now I read that a zoo exists in this site!

I am also not sure but I think I saw some golden Islamic design at the top of this tower --- I am getting early Alzheimmer's. But definitely, this tower also acts as the Islamic falak observatory to look for the crescent moon for marking the beginning of Muslim month of Ramadhan.

Also called Menara Kuala Lumpur, the antennae of this tower reaches 1381 ft, and somewhere at the top is the Seri Angkasa revolving restaurant. The high-speed lift takes you to the observation deck where you can view the greens of the Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve.
There is also a reverse bungee called the G-Force – where you can show your friendas the horrendous experience recorded on DVD.

We just rode a taxi to this place, but you can use the KL Monorail and PUTRA LRT. The nearest PUTRA LRT station to Kuala Lumpur Tower is the Dang Wangi station. If taking the KL Monorail, disembark at the Bukit Nanas station and either walk up Jalan Sultan Ismail, then turn right on Jalan P. Ramlee, and right again up the hill. Or just take a taxi from the Bukit Nanas station.

KL Tower

Before the Petronas Twin Tower was built, the KL Tower was the landmark of Kuala Lumpur It was built in 1995.

It is built on Bukit Nenas (a small hill translated as "Pineapple Hill") and so its final elevation is higher. Up to the antennae, it is over 450m and was the 5th tallest in the world.

It is easy to take a taxi or drive and park which goes right to the base of KL Tower. It is a wonderful panaromic view from the top of Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley as far as the eye can see. There is a revolving restaurants for diner and rental to private functions like weddings.

There is a tall tree next to the KL Tower which took a lot of money to preserve as it was one of the original tree when the hill was cleared for the tower.

Traditional Malay Orchestra

When you visit the KL Tower allow yourself some extra time to experience some of Malaysia’s rich traditional and cultural heritage with the Menara Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Group.

These dancers perform traditional Zapin, Asyik and Inang dances near the entrance of the main dome in the lobby area.

The traditional Malay Gamelan Orchestra with dancing is performed between 11.30am and 12.15pm every Saturday, Sunday, Thursday and Friday.
