Able to see the entire Penang view from the observatory deck with 360 degree around it. Sky walk using harness or rainbow bridge is also one kind of experience to take a more breathtaking photos in open air. Other attractions like Jurassic world and Aquarium is a also a plus. However, don't expect to compare with KL Aquaria that has much larger scale and variety of sea creatures covering saltwater and freshwater, this aquarium focus more on freshwater fishes or living sea creatures only. Jurassic park showcasing 1:1 size replica of dinasour. However, don't expect it to have the scale and depth like other natural history museum that have actual excavated fossil or sites location. This one shows basic replica of fossil and dinosaurs.

Showcasing all kinds of rare live butterflies and insects. You are able to touch and get the butterflies perching on your hand or shoulder. Also explaining butterflies and various insects lifecycle, habitats and etc knowledge about it. Like explaining pupa, eggs, worms and etc with living specimens. Highly recommended world class Insectarium.
