“RAVING REVIEW‼️‼️ We visited the museum and surprisingly there were many different kinds of rocks and minerals to look at and they were sooooo beautiful. Also comes with information about the rocks and minerals. They also showed some instruments used to obtain the rocks and minerals. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. MUST VISIT. Also have I mentioned it’s FREE ADMISSION?! 🤩🤩”

“Well kept, clean environment, real friendly staffs working the museum, and a chill atmosphere. Walk around slowly and learn about the short history of our earth, rocks & cystals, its uses and importance, plus the many places of geological interests in Malaysia. Overall lovely experience. Staffs were easy to talk to, happy to show the rare collection of precious and semi-precious stones on sale and offered stories on how their own customers bought some of them. If you're around the area, and don't mind a quiet time learning something extra, do drop by this museum and give it a go.”
