Located at the capital of Penang, Tech Dome is a hidden gem for penangites and tourists to explore besides other extravagant places around the wondrous city of George Town. It is near by The TOP Penang Theme Park at the building of Komtar. The location is so easy to access by public transportation too! So if you want to explore more during your staycation at the 'Pearl of the Orient', don't forget to visit Tech Dome Penang. ðŸ”🎨✨

I'm over the moon when I had my first moment there. As a must-OOTD person, I enjoyed taking photos in every spot here, and not to mention, this place is very suitable for all regardless of age. The staff around the exhibit are generally very friendly and multilingual. This is a 'MUST' place to be visited if you happen to be in Penang. Out of all, Tech Dome Penang is really an interesting educational exhibit.

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.

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.
