We were very fortunate to have Mr Eric Ng as our guide:
- Eric was very kind to pick us up from our hotel as we were the only guests that morning.
- Our first stop was to see the sunrise from the peak of Penang Hill. Though the clouds hid the sunrise from view, it was still a great experience guided by the very humourous and knowledgeable Eric.
- We rode the tram, walked around the lush green hills in lovely cool air, saw the Hindu temple & bronze canon etc. while Eric shared about the fascinating history and culture. We even met a handsome kitty on the viewing platform. :)
- Next we visited Air Itam morning market to taste some delicious local foods such as curry noodles, char kway teow, roti canai etc.
- We also visited the local Kek Lok Si temple.
- The last stop was a visit to a local coffee producer for tasing and shopping.
I totally recommend Mr Eric Ng as your guide for this very enjoyable tour.

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.

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon, and while the area near the cable car station was crowded, the park itself was noticeably less so. It was a rare opportunity for a forest bath, and the environment was very well preserved. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, and the treetop walk and skywalk offered great photo opportunities. As mentioned in other reviews, the network coverage nearby was very poor, and there was no network at all inside the park, so it's essential to prepare an offline QR code in advance. We didn't see any monkeys or squirrels in the park that day, and staff suggested they are easier to spot in the morning. However, we were lucky enough to encounter them all outside the park! Be aware that there are a lot of mosquitoes and insects inside the park; even after applying repellent, we were still a 'crazy buffet' for them, so be prepared. After exploring, there was a free shuttle bus back to the cable car station, which was a great arrangement.

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
