About

The Curve is a modern, air-conditioned shopping complex in Kuala Lumpur that offers families a perfect escape from the tropical heat with its excellent mix of entertainment and dining options.

  • Cinema showing both local and international films
  • Wide variety of dining options from Malaysian street food to international chains

Pro Tips

  1. 1.Visit on weekday mornings to avoid the weekend crowds, especially at the playground and arcade areas.
  2. 2.Download the Touch 'n Go eWallet app before your visit, as many Malaysian retailers prefer cashless payment, though most places accept credit cards.
  3. 3.The cinema often has English-language films with subtitles. Check showtimes in advance as some screenings may be dubbed in Bahasa Malaysia.
  4. 4.Bring a light sweater or jacket for kids as Malaysian malls keep air conditioning very cold, which can be a shock after the outdoor heat.
  5. 5.Park on the lower levels for easier access with strollers, and note your parking location as the mall is quite large.

Best Time to Visit

Weekday mornings (10 AM to 12 PM) offer the most relaxed experience with fewer crowds and cooler temperatures. Avoid weekends and Malaysian school holidays when the mall gets very busy, especially the entertainment areas.

What to Know

Parking is available and typically charged at standard Malaysian mall rates (around RM 3-5 for first few hours). The mall has multiple nursing rooms, clean restrooms with changing facilities, and stroller-accessible elevators throughout.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round with consistent hours. Malaysian public holidays like Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, and school holidays (March, June, September, December) see increased crowds. Special events and performances are often held during festive seasons.

Nearby Eats

The mall itself houses numerous family-friendly restaurants including food court options with local favorites like nasi lemak and chicken rice, as well as international chains like McDonald's and KFC that offer familiar options for cautious eaters.
