Things to do in Penang

Booking the entrance tickets to The Habitat Penang Hill on Trip.com was incredibly convenient. I was accompanying my parents, so I wanted everything to go smoothly—the instant confirmation meant absolutely no hassle, and we were able to enter without any waiting.We completely fell in love with the concept of the place and how beautifully they portray the natural rainforest while promoting conservation. It’s a very peaceful and well-maintained environment.After our walk, we took a break at The Habitat (Kommune), their on-site concept store and cafe. We enjoyed some great coffee and cake, and while browsing the retail section, I discovered Vase Creation—a really interesting Malaysian personal care brand. It was a wonderful local find to end our day. Highly recommend this attraction and booking through Trip.com for a stress-free experience!

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ – A Beautiful Tropical Butterfly Garden! 🦋🌿Entopia is a beautiful and unique attraction in Penang, Malaysia. The tropical environment, colorful butterflies, and lush greenery create a wonderful atmosphere.It’s a lovely place to explore, relax, and enjoy nature. Seeing so many beautiful butterflies up close was a really enjoyable experience.The gardens are well-maintained, and there are plenty of excellent spots for photography.Overall, we had a great time visiting Entopia. There is still a little room for improvement, but it’s definitely worth experiencing.I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Penang, especially nature lovers and photography enthusiasts!

It really fun especially can spend time with family. Suitable for active boys.

The heart of Penang. There are many things to see and do. Shopping malls, souvenior shops, museums! And hop on the free CAT bus that takes you around Georgetown!

The view from above is excellent, overlooking George Town. Especially after the film ends, the sudden open space is truly breathtaking. Shoe covers are required on the Rainbow Walk, and staff are available to help take photos for a fee.

Visited The Top Penang using the Super Saver Pass and it is one of the best couple activities here because indoor activities and viewing outdoor decks are all in the same place. Best highlight for me was the Skybridge. The panoramic views across the city, mountain, clouds and the sea are breathtaking. The boutique aquarium was very well-maintained too, with coral setups, feeding zones, and air-conditioned rooms. There were so many different fish, rays and also moray eels. My husband loved the Tech Dome, it's got so many hands-on exhibits and games. He even paid 15rmb extra to do the combo activities inside (G-force, G drop, wall climbing)It took us about 4 hours to finish all 11 activities inside. We arrived at around 2:00pm and finished by 6:00pm. There was a long queue at the ticket counter but since we've bought it online, we were able to redeem at the kiosk nearby. Very smooth process and helpful staff nearby.

Penang Street Art in George Town is an absolute must-visit! Walking through the vibrant streets feels like exploring an open-air contemporary museum. The interactive murals, especially the famous kids on a bicycle, are incredibly creative and blend perfectly with the historic charm of the old buildings. It is a lot of fun posing with the artwork and hunting them down around every corner. The area also has a fantastic atmosphere with lovely cafes and souvenir shops nearby. I highly recommend visiting early in the morning to beat the heat and avoid the crowds for the best photos

A word of advice to everyone visiting Penang Hill: don't be foolish and try to buy tickets on-site! I learned this the hard way. There are no express tickets available on-site; the Penang Hill express lane requires advance online booking. The queue for the regular cable car was so long I almost got heatstroke, and then it started raining! Even worse, nobody reminded me that I needed to collect a separate ticket for the downhill section! Queuing for ticket checks wasted an extra half hour. Scenery: Nice Fun: The queues were too long

A little forest that was an hour drive away from my accommodation. It’s also an events place that hosts cooking classes and camping. I enjoyed strolling around this place and breathing fresh air. It has ample seating and some slides 🤔 scattered throughout the area. There was also a reflexology path and fish spa but because I had small cuts on my feet—shouldn’t have worn kitten heels while strolling in Georgetown 🤦🏻‍♀️—I couldn’t try them.At the entrance, the staff gave mosquito repellent lotion and warned the guests not to touch [and especially ingest] anything in the poison garden. Each poisonous plant had a plaque that enumerated the symptoms one would get by eating them. Funny thing is, at the end of the garden was the herbal kiosk where you can get free tea 😅

Amazing architecture, decorations. Notice! It can take 3 or 4 hours to walk around and watch all the beauty and details calmly, without hurry. It's better to go to the top by inclined lift and car, provided by the temple, but you will have to pay 8r.Recommendations: comfortable shoes, bottles of water, and snacks.
