Things to do in George Town

it is my second time here and the view is still phenomenon. Easy process, just find “THE TOP”. You can either enter from the main entrance or the side entrance that is near the bus terminal beside hotel JEN with a “rainbow walk” sign. Take the lift to level 6 then find the ticketing counter to redeem your vouchers in exchange for wristbands. Follow the signs to enter the lift which will take you up to level 65 and subsequently 68.

Penang Hill is definitely a must visit as it is one of the highlights to have good 360 view of Penang which is accessible at the habitat. Remember to save the QR Codes to your phone gallery, if you are booking for your family members, make sure each voucher is saved to their phone gallery. This is because there might not be enough internet signal if you access the voucher directly through klook app once you are at the entrance of the habitat. To save time, better to have the QR codes saved so you can just scan it to pass the gantry without worrying about connection. Otherwise, you can connect to their wifi.

A good two hours spent here for kids and teenagers. Many interactivea. for them to explore and even adults like us enjoyed the place . Additional low cost is needed to do the G force , rock climb and free fall. Overall, a very value for money activity for kids.

Experience was pleasant enough. Kids enjoyed themselves and it was a nice refuge away from the heat. The paintings and rooms were also nicely done up and deserves a thumbs up for the effort!

We had a great time at this quirky museum learning about the history of Malaysian cuisine and its many multicultural influences. The museum presents information in a fun and interactive way that encourages visitors to take pictures with the exhibits. The skill of the artisans who made all of the food replicas is astounding. My son (10 years old) loved this museum. It was a fun way to learn more about Malaysian culture.

The attraction pass offers great value and is perfect for those who have already planned their itinerary and want to book in advance. I had previously booked individual attraction tickets through Klook, but luckily I was able to get a full refund and repurchase this pass, which ended up saving me even more money. For the 4 attractions, I chose Chaozhou Fruit Garden, and I happened to meet Danny, a descendant of Hong Kong immigrants, who could communicate in Cantonese, help me understand things, and chat with me. He was very friendly and although he introduced products, there was no hard selling. The Butterfly Garden was also quite nice to stroll through, with butterflies flying freely in the area, making it a great place for photo opportunities. The Reptile House also offered animal encounter experiences, which were very interesting. Although I changed the date to visit THE TOP, the voucher was still valid, which was very convenient. Unfortunately, I went too late and was unable to experience some of the activities.

The tropical orchard happened to be run by Danny, a descendant of Hong Kong immigrants, who could communicate in Cantonese. He was very helpful in explaining the uses and characteristics of various plants and was very friendly. Although he introduced products, there was no pressure to buy. However, the location is quite remote, and we had to call a taxi to come in and then take us out. Hopefully, there will be a shuttle bus in the future.

It was a new and fun experience for me. I brought my niece along, but honestly it’s enjoyable for all ages — it really brings out the kid in you (my niece was just my excuse!). There are plenty of plushie designs to choose from. You’re guided through the process of filling it with cotton, then you get to pick outfits and accessories for your plushie. This part really requires some creativity and is a lot of fun. At the end, you even get a birth certificate for your plushie where you can name it and fill in details like date of birth, hobby, height, and weight — a very cute touch. There’s also plenty of space for photo-taking. The plushie comes nicely packaged, making it convenient for gifting as well. Overall, a creative and enjoyable experience that I’d recommend for families, couples, or anyone who wants to do something a little different.

It was an extraordinary experience with straightforward communication with the tour guide for pickup. The areas visited (Penang Hill with the funicular railway and the Kek Lok Si Temple) were impressive. Especially around the time of the New Year festival, the temple was decorated with many lanterns. There is so much to discover and see, you could spend a whole day there. It was simply great! On the way back, you can also be dropped off at a Hawker center for lunch instead of returning to the hotel hungry.
