One of the most interesting museums in KL, the Islamic Arts Museum houses both modern and traditional Malaysia as part of the larger Islamic world and, through exhibitions of objects of religious and aesthetic significance, shows both the connection of Malaysian Islamic culture to the Muslim lands to its west and its uniqueness. The museum is the largest museum of Islamic arts in South East Asia with more than seven thousands artifacts from the Islamic world. It also features a large and high quality shop.

The attractions here include space science and astronomy exhibits, a theatre screening 3-Dimensional movies, a viewing gallery and an observatory.

The police museum shows the history of the Malaysian police with pictures, weapons and vehicles.

This museum presents the culture of the Malay world (Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines...) especially through its material objects such as brass utensils, weapons, pottery, textiles and musical instruments, as well as cultural practices such as dance and theatre.

Seri Negara in Kuala Lumpur is a restored historic colonial mansion and cultural destination that opened to the public in December 2025 after years of closure and meticulous renovation, offering visitors a chance to explore its role in Malaysia’s journey to nationhood through galleries and exhibitions. The estate, once a residence for British officials and a witness to key independence-era events, now combines heritage displays with modern visitor experiences in the heart of the city. Reservation via the website for a guided tour needed.

From beautiful peacocks to the alien-looking birds from all over the world, this 60-hectare bird park is home to 200 species. Highlights of the park include the free-roaming birds (which seem to cope rather well with the enthusiastic children and photographers), the artificial but well-made waterfall, and the large flamingo pond. You can actually experience part of the bird park without paying to go in by eating at the Hornbill Restaurant and Cafe, which is actually built within the bird park where you can get up close with some of the birds that wish to share your lunch including the large and entertaining hornbills. The restaurant is also not cheap - the set meals are about the same price as the park's tickets, although Malaysians enjoy a measly discount. The park is also a destination of sightseeing buses.

Walk-through tropical butterfly enclosure. Apparently the largest butterfly garden in the world spanning over 80,000 sq ft of landscaped garden with over 5,000 live butterflies, exotic plants, butterfly-host plants and ferns.
