Just back! Practical guide for a 2-day, 1-night family trip to Kuala Lumpur

This itinerary is kid-friendly and won't tire out the adults, covering all the essential attractions in Kuala Lumpur! [Day 1] 🌟Take a Grab to Merdeka Square → Walk → Sultan Abdul Samad Building → Walk → Jamek Mosque + National Mosque + City Gallery (photo ops available) These are mostly historical buildings and must-sees in Kuala Lumpur. They are worth exploring slowly. Return to the hotel at noon to rest. The Kuala Lumpur sun ☀️ really requires some indoor cooling time to avoid heatstroke 🥵. In the afternoon, go to KLCC Park (Location: Kuala Lumpur City Centre KLCC Park). This is a great spot for taking photos with the Petronas Twin Towers. There's also a playground + water play area, a must-visit for families with kids. If you have enough time, you can also consider the Petrosains Science Discovery Centre on the 4th floor of KLCC and the Aquaria KLCC on the concourse level. We didn't want to rush, so we skipped these. 🍲Dinner: Walk → Suria KLCC mall, stroll around, and see the Petronas Twin Towers at night. The night view is even better than the daytime! [Day 2] 🌟5-minute walk → Sri Mahamariamman Temple, An Indian temple. It's something new to see, and the street scenes along the way are quite interesting. Afternoon: Putra Mosque + Astaka Morocco Putra Mosque is on the same route as the airport. We visited it on our way to the airport in a pre-booked car. The driver was very nice and took us to Putra Mosque (Masjid Putra) + Astaka Morocco. I personally prefer the Astaka Morocco, a small and exquisite building with lots of architectural details! A must-visit. 💙If you have an extra day, you can visit the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque, which is further from the city center. Note: It is recommended to check the opening hours. For example, it's not open to the public on Fridays due to prayers. Avoid rush hour on your return trip. 📒When I was planning the trip, I found other family-friendly attractions: KL Bird Park, Malaysian Chinese Museum, Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery, Genting Highlands, Sunway Lagoon (water park + scream park + wildlife park, etc.), and Kidzania Kuala Lumpur. I only had 2 days in Kuala Lumpur, so I didn't include them in my itinerary. If you have more time, you can consider these. 🏠Accommodation We stayed near Petaling Street. It was easy to get around by Grab or on foot. However, we didn't visit Petaling Street itself, as it's just an ordinary market street, and we weren't interested. ⭐️Essentials Local SIM card + travel adapter + cash (withdraw from ATMs at Kuala Lumpur Airport) + Grab app
