Keep walking in until you reach this Tunnel Midpoint.
From this Tunnel Midpoint, the left will bring you before the KLCC Food Court and Underground Tunnel (KLCC Route).
Head towards the Escalator on the Right, and you should reach KLCC’s Right Entrance.
This KLCC Right Entrance will bring you close to KLCC’s Entrance Tent, most events at KLCC use this area to enter KLCC itself, but not every event may this area.

The Bad? 8am Opening Time, this route won’t be open any earlier.
Access #01-B: Outdoor Walkway

See that Brown Building in the distance?
That’s KLCC, just keep walking and you reach it. (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

Field Intel
#0 Field Maps
To be honest, KLCC is not a complicated place to navigate. But when in doubt, just head towards the KLCC Entrance Tent area.
There you can either choose to enter KLCC itself, or use the Underground Tunnel (KLCC Route) to drop by Suria KLCC, for example.
Suria KLCC has these Map Terminals to help navigate you around the mall.
Alternatively, you can check out any Information Counter for help.
They’re more than happy to assist you, and can hook you up with those dank Suria KLCC Map pamphlets.
#1 Parking Area

- P1, B-16, E-16
- P1, B-19, E-19, F-19, G-19
From KLCC’s parking lot, you will find yourself exiting onto this part of KLCC.
From here, you can head Left (Right in the photo) to reach the KLCC Entrance Tent.
Within Suria KLCC’s parking lot, we recommend finding the following spots near the entrances into Suria KLCC,

Beware of these “2 Hours Maximum” parking spots in the area, avoid them if you can.
Coming up from Suria KLCC’s Parking Lot will bring you before the Underground Tunnel (Suria KLCC Route), which only opens at 8am.
Also take note, that P3 – Blue and P4 – Yellow escalators are NOT equipped to carry anything with wheels.
We recommend dropping at P1 – Green or P2 – Red to drop off any wheel based items first.
Also keep in mind, the parking fares for both venues aren’t cheap.
KLCC and Suria KLCC parking fares,
- First hour RM 5, + RM 4 for each subsequent hour. (Monday to Friday, Saturday after 12pm.)

Food within KLCC’s area include,

- Problem is that it’s Texas Chicken and McDonalds.
- Other Suria KLCC options. (Click here for more Info)
If KLCC and Suria KLCC’s options are too pricy, consider heading to the KLCC LRT Station to access Avenue K’s food area.
Check here to see what they have to offer.
#3 ATMs/Reload Machines
ATMs in KLCC’s area can be found near the Underground Tunnel (KLCC Route), by the myNews outlet, but it’s limited to just Maybank and CIMB ATMs.
ATMs within Suria KLCC can be found near the Underground Tunnel (Suria KLCC route), which inclues ALL if not most Malaysian based banks.
If the area gets too crowded, head towards Suria KLCC’s Ramlee Mall, near the Texas Chicken & McDonalds area, where there’s a CIMB and RHB outlet available.
From the Middle Escalator, head Left to reach that area.
There’s also ATMs at the upper floors, near the corners of the Middle Escalator. Each floor has a different ATM, but we can guarantee the following ATMs sighted,
- AmBank & Maybank
- Alliance Bank
- Standard Charted Bank
- RHB Bank
- CIMB Bank
KLCC LRT Station also has an AmBank ATM available.
For folks who use Touch & Go cards, you can access these Reload Machines over at the KLCC LRT Station and Underground Tunnel (Suria KLCC Route).
Keep in mind, you need at least RM to top up, as these machines don’t like any RM 1 or RM 5 notes. 🤔
Also that’s Notecist.
#4 Facilities
Every hall within KLCC’s Event Hall comes with its own toilets, but whether or not it’s usable depends on the Event’s Protocols.
Also the KLCC Event Hall usually opens around 10am, so consider using another toilet if you’re there beforehand.
There’s are public toilets near the Underground Tunnel (KLCC Route), but this place can get crowded fast.
There’s also toilets upstairs within KLCC’s Walkway, but those toilets may or may not be usable, depending on Event Protocols.
Suria KLCC itself has its own arsenal of toilets, just follow the signboards above and they can lead you there.
If you’re planning to cosplay at an event, avoid using the public Suria KLCC toilets to suit up.
In the event the toilets there get jammed, management there can blame you guys for ‘disrupting business’, so avoid changing there.
If you wish to suit up, we recommend doing it within KLCC’s toilets instead.
For fellow Muslim folks, there’s also a Surau near the Underground Tunnel (Suria KLCC Route), for if you need it.
#5 Bonus!
KLCC has its own public network for use, under the name ConventionCtrFreeWIFI, just access the thing, pass some minor Sign-In thing, and you’re online!
Just keep in mind this network might go to shit if too many folks use it at the same time. D:
Opened during the making of this guide, KLCC is now armed with some Family Mart goodness for ALL you visitors.
Located at the entrance into Suria KLCC from the KLCC LRT Station, it’s a great place to pickup breakfast upon arriving. (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
