Kuala Lumpur Leisure
In addition to the city’s regular sports complexes offering swimming pools and tennis, two of the city’s most popular pastimes are golf and bowling, both of which have a choice of venues in the city where you can practice. However, the number one activity for tourists is shopping, with shopaholics being sure to fit in plenty of walking in between the various Gucci and Versace outlets.
Bowling
Bowling is a popular family pastime in KL, with three bowling alleys offering indoor bowling year-round. Not only do the bowling alleys provide a great escape from the heat, but they allow you to brush up on your skills while entertaining the kids. Try Mid Valley Megabowl Bowling Alley or Pekeliling Bowl for state-of the art bowling.
