- Raintree_ThailandBangkok, Thailand3,777 contributionsWe enjoyed the Pinang Peranakan Mansion (also referred to as the "green mansion" far more than we anticipated. The 120-year-old mansion contains an amazing array of antique furniture, crystal, art, and collections of jewelry, embroidery, and more. The entry fee of 25 ringgit for adults is well worth the price. Be sure to join one of the tours (including in the entry fee) to get the most out of your visit. We would have missed many interesting details if we had not joined the tour.Written 6 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Raintree_ThailandBangkok, Thailand3,777 contributionsYou can't really say you've been to Penang if you haven't made the trip up to the top of Penang Hill. But, it really only makes sense to go up if the weather is reasonably clear; otherwise, you're spending money for a short train ride only. The trip to the top is via Southeast Asia's longest funicular train system. The trip takes a mere 4 1/2 minutes, but it's steep and fun. For foreigners, the cost is 30 ringgit for adults and seniors for the standard fare (meaning you wait in line while all the people who paid for the "fast lane" zip past you. The cost for the fast lane is about double, but it is probably worth it for most people on busy days. The price for Malaysians is less than half that for foreigners. We found the management of the funicular was not so good as they informed us the wait for the standard line was only 30 minutes, but it turned out to be more than one hour. The views at the top were very nice and the air was refreshingly cool.Written 6 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sia65Singapore, Singapore636 contributionsWe hired a driver who drove us all the way up to the new wing where a 30m bronze statue of the Guan Yin under a pavilion stands. As the temple is on a hill, you get to see Air Hitam town and the surroundings (better view than Penang Hill summit which was shrouded in cloud). We came because it is a stone throw from Penang Hill funicular station and also a major tourist attraction.Written 24 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NorthStar606611Perth, Australia214 contributionsThis was such a lovely experience for the whole family. Lovely facility amazing butterfly’s so beautiful. All the creatures they have on display were very interesting I won’t spoil it for you it’s a must visit and see for yourself!
We spent a few hours here exploring and our kids even spun a silkworm cocoon into a book mark tassel (paid) that was super interesting to do. We visited during the week so it wasn’t too busy. Definitely worth a visitWritten 18 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I have mixed feelings about the visit as the self guided tour was the same price as guided fyi (so you are better off booking the guided tour). The website did indicate that some parts of the mansion is beyond public visit (excld. in-house guest and visitors on tours) so not sure if this was an issue with the self guided tour. However, the visit of the mansion itself was a slight letdown as there weren't that many artefacts or areas to visit. The place gained much fame from a renowned movie and I was definitely expecting more from the tour.Tip:Book the guided tour in advance.Written 27 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Lots of paths so ensure good footwear. Use Insect repellent.
Take time to read the plant history.
Great for photos.Written 17 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - BramleyLoiner21Leeds, UK478 contributionsAn old clan house in the middle of George Town.

One of the guides, Daniel was very enthusiastic and helpful. We were lucky to see a rare insect in the wild shown by him. He also shared an interesting fact that one of the leaves there can be used as a soap so we all just randomly ran and washed our hands with the leaves 😂 theres also a "hidden" cafe inside which was nice for lepak lepak. definitely will come again in the future!Written 26 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TerryHHertfordshire, UK1,067 contributionsAn enjoyable visit to the Waterfall Gardens. Established in 1884. Long tailed monkeys seen in lots of locations and the occasional Monitor Lizard. Orchid Garden was interesting as well.Written 8 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
