We've been several times, this is a lot of fun for children and accomodates a wide variety of ages. The additional precautions due to the pandemic are a bit of a pain but completely neccesary. The staff on hand around the exhibit are generally very good and multilingual.
It's not on the same level as Petrosciens in KL but for a Penang attraction this is really rather good.

Great place for children to learn about science but due to the covid-19 pandemic, operating hours are limited. So if there is a chance visit Tech Dome Penang.

One of the best place in penang to learn and experience science for both kids and adult. They enable visitors to understand science deeply through different fields of exhibit. Moreover, the exhibits are also fun and interactive which allow visitor to try out and gain knowledge as well as experience in physically and mentally.

is the techdome suitable for a three years old?
Hi Farhana,
We do have the Exploration Zone and the Creative Corner (both near our cafetaria, The Hungry Atom) for kids below 5 years old. We have seen 3 year olds explore our main exhibition hall too with the assistance of adults.
We are sure your kid will have loads of fun at Tech Dome Penang as we cater to all ages, from preschoolers to senior citizens. On top of that, children under 5 years old enter FREE!
Thank you.
