When in Penang, there is no doubt that the beach is the perfect place to be and lazing around on the sand or taking a swim in the warm waters of the ocean sound tempting. However, it's hard to be lazy and just stick to the beach for entertainment when a destination is as diverse.
Observing great views takes a wholly unique twist when it comes to Penang Hill Train. Now you can catch stunning views of Penang from 275 feet about the ground while enjoying a comfortable seat on the electric train. The tracks are 2007 meters long and were initially built in 1901. The system was revamped in 2010 introducing electrical trains that now run on the track. Arrive at the station and you'll find that the air is much cooler here for a pleasant break from the heat. The trip usually costs about RM30 and is available on every day of the week.
If you are into everything adventurous, then this is the place for you. Within the Escape Adventureplay complex are thrilling opportunities for zip-lining which is the most popular activity here. Furthermore, you have the chance to indulge in a 20-metre drop free fall, an innertube slide, tree rope swings and much more! The best part of it all is that the activities here are for all ages. You will be able to reach the place easily from hotels like PARKROYAL Penang Resort.
There are plenty of fun things to do here at Adventure Zone Park especially for those travelling with kids. The place is divided into 3. The toddler section, kids' section and the special features section. There is a slide that cascades down from a height of 24 metres which could be fun for all ages. The zone has 30 individual activities that are available for kids to try out and have fun in Penang.
The idea that museums are boring and just a warehouse for some old art was in the past. Now, there is a fast-growing unconventional theme to museums which is the 3D picture galleries. Artists have come together and created 3D pictures with the expert use of contours, colours and textures that bring paintings to life! The best part about the museum is that you can take creative and interactive pictures with the paint which make you feel like the painting is the reality for that moment when you take the picture. When you look back on it someday though it will make you feel like you were part of the painting as well.
For those who are into water sports, you couldn't ask for anything better than East Wind Water sports offering various water activities for you to try out. Safety is always first here. Located close to one of the best Penang hotels in the area, you will find opportunities for jet-skiing, parasailing, surfing, banana boating and much more.
