The planetarium is a must see attraction especially if you brought your kids with you. There are exhibitions on the Space Science Show and an ancient observatory park alongside an exhibition on astronomy as well as viewing gallery that has a Sky movie screened every couple of hours.

The National Art Gallery has over 2,500 paintings from many national artists. There is also a craft museum which displays the many handicrafts from different sectors of Malaysian Society. The National Museum will give lots of local history as well as well laid out displays on culture, traditions as well as arts, crafts, economic goings on and currencies, along with flora and fauna exhibitions and weapons on display. The museum is located about a 10minute ride from the Railway station, when the traffic has eased off. This building is quite beautiful and palatial with massive Italian glass murals at the entrance, and it has seven galleries on three stories. The interesting section of the museum is on the Peranakan culture, which displays the fusion of the traditions of Malay and Chinese together.

Near the scenic lake Gardens is the Islamic Art Museum which is as the name suggests, dedicated to Islamic Art. The building that the museum is housed, is rather exquisite with Italian marble, Iranian tiling and Uzbekistans best craftsmanship. There is a cafe within the building and the exhibits are fascinating.
