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.

This museum is very interesting. It taught me a lot of food in Penang, Malaysia. My children also enjoyed it. Buying tickets on Klook is easy and convenient.

This is the first time i stayed in this hotel and I loved it. The room is like an apartment with stairs up to the hall. The location is near famous kimberly night street food, popular chendol, One avenue mall, The Top penang are all short walking distance. The street is busy so will get jammed on the main road. I will not hesitate to stay again.
