Details

Walk through 7,000 square meters of interactive exhibits, games and displays to learn about the oil exploration process, including the technology used and how the petroleum industry has shaped the Malaysian landscape in terms of economy and social status.

Go back in time to the period where dinosaurs ruled the Earth some 200 million years ago and learn about the relationship between fossils and petroleum. This fascinating journey of education and discovery also brings you to modern times, highlighting the importance of petroleum products in our daily life and how they have come to shape the world we live in.

The most exciting section of Petrosains is without doubt the “Flight To The Oil Platform”. Here, visitors get to experience the adrenaline rush of a helicopter simulation ride that takes you more than 100km out at sea. As you leave the mainland, be prepared as the helicopter passes through a storm to send workers to the oil platform. Interestingly enough, the oil platform was designed according to scale, including the surprisingly small workers’ living space to give visitors a sense of what it feels like working on an actual platform.

Full list of attractions and exhibits

Dark Ride – Shaped like an oil drop, the Dark Ride brings visitors through a dark and tranquil environment featuring Malaysia’s rainforests, mountains and underwater sceneries.

Space – The Space section is where visitors learn about the latest in space science and technology. Discover how astronauts live and work in space through delightful high-definition videos by the crew of the International Space Station, or ISS. Here, you can try programming a Mars rover to roam over a Martian landscape in search of signs of life, or visit Jupiter and risk stepping into a hurricane!

Geotime Diorama – Centred around an elaborate volcanic landscape, Geotime Diorama takes you more than 200 million years back in time when dinosaurs ruled the ancient world. Explore the history of planet Earth as recorded in rocks. Have a sniff of what prehistoric air smells like and find out how petroleum formed in our backyard a long, long time ago.

SPARKZ – Comprising different sections, SPARKZ includes the Wind Tube with paper helicopters, the Grain Pit and big screens featuring Interactive Art, the TotSpot for toddlers, the Robo Soccer match for families and science shows happening throughout the day.

Oil Platform – The ‘Petrosains A’ platform is modelled after an actual offshore platform. Everything here has been built to scale and many of the tools and equipment are real.

Speed – The Speed section will delight Formula 1 fans. Try out the F1 simulator, put your reaction time to the test on the Batak Pro exhibit or push a small rubber ball towards an opponent using nothing but telekinesis in the Mind Ball exhibit.

Molecule Nano World – The Molecule Nano World begins at the top of a spiral stairway, taking you through a gallery depicting the chemistry and nano world.
