Had a great half-day tour in Balik Pulau! Our guide CC was super attentive and very well-versed in heritage. He started by introducing us to bedak sejuk (cooling powder), a centuries old Penang skincare tradition-such a unique cultural gem! We then enjoyed delicious Fried Flat Noodles (Char Hor Fun) at a local spot in Balik Pulau. Although the Belacan factory was closed, CC still took the time to explain the entire belacan-making process to us in detail. He also shared fascinating insights at the Nutmeg Factory, the Container Art Festival, and capped it all off with a delicious durian tasting. His explanation of the Malay Kampong house's design and functionality was a real highlight. Highly recommend CC!

It was raining heavily in the morning, but we were able to enter the facility. It's reassuring to have an umbrella when visiting the butterfly area. Inside, there are many indoor insect exhibits, so you can enjoy yourself even if it's raining. We spent a leisurely three hours exploring. There's also a restaurant, and the pasta and Malay dishes were delicious. There weren't any drinks available for children, so I recommend bringing your own beverages. There were no vending machines inside the facility. My child was thrilled to see and touch both taxidermied and live insects. The rain stopped partway through, and we were able to enjoy the butterflies in the butterfly garden. If it's raining, the butterflies tend to rest, so I recommend visiting the indoor exhibits first. The Entopia original T-shirt was cute, so I bought it as a souvenir. We had a wonderful time. Experience: Excellent

Use the QR code obtained from Klook to scan and collect your physical ticket at the Komtar building on the 6th floor at the red kiosks, located right opposite the Ticket Center. You will then receive a paper wristband. When entering various attractions, simply have the staff scan the QR code on your wristband.

After receiving the QR code from Klook, exit the mountain train and head toward The Habitat. This QR code can be scanned at the entrance for the forest walk. However, if anyone wants to watch the sunset at the 7:30 PM session, an additional fee of 18 Ringgit per person is required, and you will receive a yellow lanyard to wear. You can take photos for as long as you like. At the end, a guide will lead the walk back because it gets dark. Those interested in watching the sunset are recommended to bring a small flashlight.

The River Cruise was fantastic and very well organized. The Guide, as well as, the lady at the ticketing desk were very polite and helpful. The guide was really a fun guy, who made the 90 mins cruise very enjoyable with his jokes and light heartedness. He takes you around the river, until it reaches the ocean and on the way (and return) you catch a fish, try to catch a crab, pluck a Mangrove Apple, learn about the fisherman boat, fishing boats etc. and so on. The only thing that you may not like is that the river itself was a bit dirty and you could see the amount of garbage people throw into that beautiful river. Towards end of cruise, the guide will be picking up quite a bit of garbage which is a standard practice in every cruise. Also the water seemed dirty and I just hope that the Government and people there, continue to take efforts to make it clean.

A really good museum to visit. The exhibits depict important aspects of Penang's history and the interactive nature of the museum makes it enjoyable for children and adults. The war part was a bit scary but this reflects the seriousness of that part of history as experienced by people living in Penang during WWII. The staff were friendly and happy to help when needed. I recommend the Penang History Gallery to anyone interested in history.
