Is it worth it?
From the inside, you see Kuala Lumpur, but not the towers themselves. Our verdict: worth it once for the Skybridge and the engineering. If your goal is photos of the towers, the free KLCC Park and KL Tower, which has the towers in its view, are better value.
What visitors say
Visitors enjoy standing on the Skybridge between the towers and the views from level 86, but many find the visit short and tightly timed for the price. The most common advice is to book ahead, and to see the towers lit up from KLCC Park, which is free.
