I come there alone while waiting my family. The staff and security there really helpful and friendly. You can book it online and walk in. You can see Kuantan in 360 from level 1 and outdoor view from level 3. It’s really good experience for me.

Came here with friends to enjoy the refreshing cold water of Sungai Pandan waterfall..the scenery very beautiful as we went there early in the morning to avoid many visitor in the noon and evening, and when the sun shined the waterfall..Amazing..The place opens at 9am so go early to avoid the crowd and the heat. The water is clear and cool and the waterfall beating on your body provides a great massage. Be careful with small children as the water does suddenly get deep at various places. The new SOP is observed quite strictly here with good reason. Everyone has to register and have their temperature taken at the guard house before entering. Parking space is ample. There are also stalls selling finger food in case you get hungry after your swim. My family and I went on a weekday so we were lucky not to be bombarded with a huge crowd. Easily spent an hour here, just enjoying the cool water and then soaking up the sun on the many rocks nearby. Cleanliness is maintained too, hopefully all visitors will continue to keep this lovely spot clean.

Visiting the Petronas Towers requires advance booking. You'll queue on the first floor to take the elevator together, but it's not crowded and the experience is quite pleasant. You can reach two floors: first, the area connecting the two towers on the 40+ floor, where staff will leave at a set time; then, take the elevator directly to the 86th floor.
