- Journey618240948541 contributionAll the activities reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy worth to play. The best one is slingshot. Just try it for once.Written 2 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- jannlcySingapore, Singapore19 contributionsIt is an interesting mansion. There are many rooms and the displays such as furniture, ornaments and clothing are beautiful.Written 1 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sia65Singapore, Singapore636 contributionsProbably because the December monsoon is coming hence it was cloudy almost everyday. No view at summit so we went to The Habitat. Also no view but it’s nice to look at the plants that are endemic to Penang and the region. No luck with seeing fauna except some monkeys. Habitat is also a lot less crowded than other parts of Penang Hill. Stop by the cafe before you go to take in the fresh air and pause before you continue the rest of your day.Written 24 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sia65Singapore, Singapore636 contributionsWe hired a driver who drove us all the way up to the new wing where a 30m bronze statue of the Guan Yin under a pavilion stands. As the temple is on a hill, you get to see Air Hitam town and the surroundings (better view than Penang Hill summit which was shrouded in cloud). We came because it is a stone throw from Penang Hill funicular station and also a major tourist attraction.Written 24 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NorthStar606611Perth, Australia214 contributionsThis was such a lovely experience for the whole family. Lovely facility amazing butterfly’s so beautiful. All the creatures they have on display were very interesting I won’t spoil it for you it’s a must visit and see for yourself!
We spent a few hours here exploring and our kids even spun a silkworm cocoon into a book mark tassel (paid) that was super interesting to do. We visited during the week so it wasn’t too busy. Definitely worth a visitWritten 18 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - CNat75Singapore, Singapore53 contributionsI must mention that Selva was a very helpful staff that assisted us in taking pictures from various angles at the Courtyard which really made up for the shortcomings of the visit.
I have mixed feelings about the visit as the self guided tour was the same price as guided fyi (so you are better off booking the guided tour). The website did indicate that some parts of the mansion is beyond public visit (excld. in-house guest and visitors on tours) so not sure if this was an issue with the self guided tour. However, the visit of the mansion itself was a slight letdown as there weren't that many artefacts or areas to visit. The place gained much fame from a renowned movie and I was definitely expecting more from the tour.Tip:Book the guided tour in advance.Written 27 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

our guide was good and showed us around explaining what things were.Written 6 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Lots of paths so ensure good footwear. Use Insect repellent.
Take time to read the plant history.
Great for photos.Written 17 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

One of the guides, Daniel was very enthusiastic and helpful. We were lucky to see a rare insect in the wild shown by him. He also shared an interesting fact that one of the leaves there can be used as a soap so we all just randomly ran and washed our hands with the leaves 😂 theres also a "hidden" cafe inside which was nice for lepak lepak. definitely will come again in the future!Written 26 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Haytham Abu FirasQatar14,378 contributionsA narrow street within the city of George Town. Within city’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s famous for its rich cultural offerings and street art.Written 21 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Fredric JohnDubai, United Arab Emirates216 contributionsThe street art is what made Penang famous. While walking around, it’s like going on a treasure hunt to see which art I can see. It was intersecting with different streets but I managed to find the art while rummaging through my Google Maps guide.
I’ve seen street art in other countries but this one also defines what Penang culture is really all about.Written 19 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Long tailed monkeys seen in lots of locations and the occasional Monitor Lizard. Orchid Garden was interesting as well.Written 8 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Tickets to the park are 50 myr per adult. Make sure you don’t arrive between 1-2pm as they close for break! We arrived at 1pm and only just managed to get tickets!!
We already knew we wanted tk walk the trail to the beach with the turtle sanctuary on and from reading previous reviews knew we needed to book a return boat. We spoke to a lady at one of the stalls outside and booked a boat to collect us from the beach to return back. The cost she gave us was 100 myr to go straight back or 120 myr to call at monkey beach on the way. There was two of us. We decided to call at monkey beach. She advised us that the trail we wanted to do usually took 1.30hr to walk and so suggested booking the boat for 2.30hrs time to give us time on the beach. We booked and set off on our hike!
The path is initially paved and we walked past monkeys and stopped to watch a lizard soak in the water. The path was extremely well signposted and was initially a 20 min uphill hike and then up/down the rest. I don’t do a lot of fitness but it was fine for me. The path is uneven natural trail so trainers are definitely a must. We also wore long socks in case of any leeches (didn’t see any but have walked a few forests with them!).
We arrived at the beach having thoroughly enjoyed our jungle walk and looking out for animals along the way. We visited the turtle sanctuary and it was lovely to see the work being done to help.
There is no drink stalls on the turtle beach. Our boat came and he was very informative on the way back, telling us about the different rocks, animals and forest. We stopped at monkey beach for a drink (stalls are here!) and then jumped back on the boat to go back to the pier.
All in all a great afternoon out and we were so glad we did it.
Note: definitely book your boat before you set off on the walk!Written 26 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
