KL Tower reopens on 26th April
It wasn’t too long ago when Kuala Lumpur Tower announced that it was closing its doors temporarily for maintenance under new management, with no reopening date announced.
Just over a week later, the iconic landmark and a staple of the city’s skyline is set to reopen to the public on 26th April 2025. And there’ll be a new set of prices for its popular attractions, like the Observation and Sky Decks, that visitors will want to take note of.
Why did the KL Tower temporarily close to the public?
Here’s the lowdown for the uninitiated. The KL Tower was closed earlier this month after a series of events that led to the eviction of its previous operator, whose concession ended on 31st March. A new management has since occupied the building, overseeing its restoration and maintenance works.
The reopening of the KL Tower on 26th April will see full operational status of all its attractions, as reported by Bernama on 25th April. They include the Sky Deck and Observation Deck, and also the Orbit Revolving Dining, which means luxurious dining with panoramic views of the city from KL Tower is now possible again.
Additionally, the Hemisfera Luxury Sky Hall, touted as the highest banquet hall in KL, is also open for bookings again.
New ticket prices for KL Tower from 26th April onwards
One of the most significant changes for KL Tower visitors from tomorrow onwards is the adjustment in ticket prices, which has been reduced significantly for MyKad and MyKid holders.
Sky Deck tickets, which include access to the jaw-dropping Sky Box, will now cost RM50 for MyKad holders and RM28 for MyKid holders – a nearly 30% reduction from their former prices. There are no changes for Observation Deck tickets, which remain at RM30 for MyKad holders and RM20 for MyKid holders.
However, international visitors will see an increase in ticket prices for both attractions in the tower.
Sky Deck tickets will now cost RM140 for adults, a more than 20% increase, and RM80 for children instead of RM65. Likewise, Observation Deck tickets will be RM80 for adults, a 33% increase, and RM50 for children.
Visits to KL Tower are now possible again
It came as a surprise to many of us that the KL Tower would be closing, albeit temporarily, as the structure has been a notable part of KL’s skyline ever since it opened to the public in 1996.
As the tower prepares to welcome visitors once again, we can look forward to seeing the building stick around and open to the public for more years to come.
