The city surely has a large number of places to see and visit from popular Kuala Lumpur hotels, architectural structures, to gardens and zoos to museums to other leisure destinations like shopping malls, bars and restaurants. However, a 2 or 3 night stay will never get you to the entire city. Here are the top three places you shouldn’t miss in going around Kuala Lumpur:

It has Wild, Wild West where you can unleash your wild side as you experience cowboy-inspired rides such Buffalo Bill Coaster, Butch Cassidy's Trail and Colorado Splash. Another part of Sunway Lagoon is the World of Adventure that will surely take your breath away as you ride through tunnels, bobby traps and tarantulas.
