activation and redemption was a breeze! we bought the 3 attractions + escape pass. if you are planning to go to escape theme park, it’s highly recommended to wear wet shoes because it can be quite painful to walk on the sand. plus a cover shoe is required if you want to play at the adventure park. The Habitat and Curtis Tree Top Walk was nice too! unfortunately we did not see any animals as the weather was turning bad. we also redeemed the 5 attraction pass at The Top - skybridge and jurassic park will be closed if it’s raining, so plan your time carefully. DE8000 mini golf was fun too! we went on a weekday morning and had the whole place to ourselves!

very creative space and great indoor activity for rainy days. You get to pick your own design and if you’re like me who can’t draw, don’t worry you trace your design

The view is very beautiful, the area is very large, there are many trees, very beautiful. Buying tickets online is more worthwhile than buying at the counter. Recommended. Take beautiful photos.

Penang highly recommends going to Penang Hill. We took the cable car up the mountain at 6:30. The weather is very comfortable and not too hot. There is a cafe on the mountain where you can rest.

Great purchase. It is cheaper than buying separate tickets. One thing to note is separate tickets has senior tickets which has the same price with child ticket. However Klook pass doesn't have senior ticket, only adult tickets.
