The exhibits and  shows offer a hands-on approach to stimulate interest in general science and technology, as well as the energy industry.

Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS

Home to the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, Malaysia’s first dedicated classical concert venue is located at the podium level between the Twin Towers.

Its 90-metre transparent tunnel is Malaysia’s first underground aquarium exhibit, allowing visitors full view of wildlife in their element.

Skybridge (Level 41 & 42)

Situated at an astonishing height of 170m (558 feet), the PETRONAS  Twin Towers’ double-decker skybridge is the highest two-story  bridge in the world. Visitors from all over the world come here to catch an awesome view over Kuala Lumpur city. Weighing 750  tons, the double-decker skybridge connects both towers on the Level 41 and 42. It is interesting to note that the skybridge is deliberately designed to only be partially attached to the main building – this gives plenty of allowance for small movements during high winds and storms, effectively, preventing the skybridge from breaking away from the towers.

Malaysian Petroleum Club

The iconic and prestigious Malaysian Petroleum Club is an exclusive Members-Only club situated on the 41st, 42nd and 43rd floors of  Tower 2, PETRONAS Twin Towers. The Malaysian Petroleum Club was conceptualized by the late Tun Azizan, a prominent figure in the  industry who contributed significantly to shaping and developing  Malaysia.
