Timothy was very knowledgeable and sweet. He offered us drinks and water since it was a sunny day. I misunderstood that it was a walking tour, but it was totally worth it. It was really nice of him to provide us with such an amazing experience.

As the tallest skyscraper in George Town, "The TOP Komtar" is more than just a city landmark; it's a comprehensive entertainment hub combining a theme park, exhibition halls, and high-altitude observation decks. Purchase the Komtar Five Attractions Pass online, which includes: the 68th-floor Rainbow Skywalk, the 65th-floor Observatory Deck and Cantilevered Glass Walkway, the Indoor Aquarium, and the Jurassic Research Center. After purchasing tickets, you'll receive a unique QR code. Simply exchange this code for an admission wristband at the park counter. This wristband serves as your pass, granting you access to all facilities, making the process simple and smooth. From indoor aquatic ecosystems and prehistoric Jurassic scenes to the double-decker cantilevered skywalk and panoramic city views, one trip offers a rich blend of science education, fun, thrills, and sightseeing, ensuring an incredibly fulfilling and exciting day.

I was skeptical at first as Penang's history is not new to me but this production pleasantly surprised me. It was a sincere production with engaging performances.
Really appreciate the thoughtful screen on the tables of premium seating as there are pillars blocking the stage view.
Dinner was pleasant, taste was good but not wow.
Overall an awesome experience which I will definitely recommend for tourist.

We were so engaged in all of the tech stands there that I forgot to take the photos )) This museum works best for older children (10+), in my opinion. Definitely worth a visit, especially if combined with other attractions in Komtar

Had such a lovely experience at OLA Studio. The studio was bright, super clean, welcoming, and full of creative energy with other people enjoying different craft classes too.
After a really clear introduction covering the do’s, don’ts, and a practice session, I was off tufting my little heart out. Three hours later, a tufting masterpiece was born! The atmosphere was calm and relaxed with no pressure at all, which made it really enjoyable even as a beginner.
One thing I really appreciated was being able to send my design idea beforehand, so it was already drawn onto the canvas ready for me when I arrived.

equipment:
A little tip for anyone booking: if possible, plan to collect your tufting the next day. I didn’t realise beforehand that if you want to take it the same day, you’ll need to allow extra time for trimming and finishing.
Such a fun, creative experience and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Penang looking for something different to do.
