You can buy it when you come to Komtar building because they will confirm the ticket immediately. You don't need to buy it in advance because if it rains, they will close it and some zones will open only until 6:00 pm. The price is cheaper than buying it at the event, 118 RM, if I remember correctly.

Buying tickets through Klook is cheaper than at the counter. You have to download the QR code to scan to enter and exit because there is no phone signal inside the forest.

it was rm 10-30 diff from buying at counter. but the bad is the management ask to que with the rest that will buy-at-counter. there no diff buying online except you get cheaper 10% off. it was 5 in one packages. the aquaria is for small fish, the fish there didn’t have much move, like they in drug or something. it have 3-4 feeding time and also can touch the reptiles. the dino is a bit corny but still good. it look like they closed few section but it still entertaining enough. it feel like you in jurassic world. the 3 city view is good, it worth the price, 270ish degree to view penang island. make sure to look at the time closed, coz every entrance is diff time and it will closed when it raining. manage time wisely. it worth money for all 5 entrance.

I had an amazing time at DE'8000 Mini Golf Cafe with my family! The 18-hole course was fun and well-designed, making for a great experience. The staff were super friendly and helpful, which added to the enjoyable atmosphere. We found the ticket process easy to navigate, allowing us to dive right into the fun. I highly recommend DE'8000 for a fantastic day out with family or friends!
