Things to do in Penang

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!

Beautifully curated, modern and well kept exhibitions, Entopia is unique and definitely a fresh experience compared to old traditional butterfly park museum. There's even a pretty neat cafe as well to sit and recharge with food and drinks reasonably priced. My family was so impressed and by the time we step out of the place, we learnt to appreciate not only butterflies but the insect kingdom so much more than before. Staff are informative and friendly. This is definitely a must to visit attraction if you're in Batu Ferringhi!

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.

My daughter love it very much. She's enjoy taking photo & laugh out loud after seeing the amazing scene. Ticket price unfortunately did not hv special column for OKU, so we hv to purchase normal price & not refundable. We bought ticket via klook.

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

The aquarium soo niceeeee and beautiful. there are feeding shows to the fishes and stingrays at 2pm, 2.20pm and 2.40pm. Really worth it.

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.

bought this during a promo , very worth it since the total price of 3 attractions is more than the pass price, rmb to activate ur pass when you've decided which attraction to go to
