in the last weekWe had a guided tour there, start from the museum and ended by workshop to try making a bowl. Nice experience. Oh there is also a souvenir shop available before you exit the building

a week agoOur family visit to the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre in June 2023 was a brilliant blend of learning, crafting, and tasty treats. The tour, led by the knowledgeable and warm Ms Chan, provided us with a seamless and insightful journey into the world of pewter.
A standout experience was the "Schools of Hard Knocks" workshop, excellently facilitated by Mr Hafiz. His guidance allowed our children to craft their own pewter bowls, which was both educational and fun, making the experience truly unforgettable.
Even with so much to offer, the tour fits conveniently into a 1-2 hour slot, making it a perfect day trip for all ages. We wrapped up our visit at The Cafe, where we enjoyed delicious coffee and pastries, the perfect end to a memorable day.
Overall, the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre proved to be an ideal family destination with great educational activities and delicious food. We're already excited for our next visit and highly recommend it to others! -

2 months agoNice place! Very interesting. Introduced pewter in an interactive way. Can see different shape of pewter and also the process. Not too big. Just nice size to visit.

11 months agoVery stress relieving(?). Perfect place for trips (school, company, etc). Not many people (which is sad because there should be more). Entry is free and the guide is friendly. She explained things thoroughly. You can sign up for class as well here and make your own pewter bowl.
Make sure to follow the instructor accordingly and don't rush when making your own pewter bowl! -

in the last weekThis is a must do. The museum tour was great. The walk through watching people working the pewter was very informative. Also did the foundry which was amazing working with the pewter. Spent over 4 hours here but could be done quicker lunch at Cafe was delicious.
