Explore Malaysia
While attending the conference, take the opportunity to explore some of Malaysia’s most iconic tourist attractions, located just a short distance from Monash University Malaysia.
1. Sunway Lagoon Theme Park
 | Located in Sunway City, just a 15-minute walking from Monash University Malaysia, Sunway Lagoon is one of Malaysia’s most popular theme parks. It offers a wide range of attractions, including water parks, amusement rides, wildlife encounters, and thrilling adventure zones. Whether you’re traveling with family or looking for some fun after the conference, Sunway Lagoon is a must-visit destination. |
2. Petronas Twin Towers at KLCC
 | The Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) are among the tallest twin towers in the world and a symbol of Malaysia’s modernity. Visitors can enjoy the breath-taking view from the Skybridge or the observation deck on the 86th floor. The surrounding KLCC Park and Suria KLCC Mall offer shopping, dining, and entertainment options, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and exploration. |
Important Note:
Due to the high demand and limited availability, it is highly advisable to book your tickets for the Skybridge and observation deck in advance. Tickets are often sold out on the spot, and pre-booking ensures you won’t miss the chance to experience one of Kuala Lumpur’s most iconic landmarks. You can book your tickets online through the official Petronas Twin Towers website or authorised ticketing platforms.
