#penang Jurassic Research Center @The Top Penang is located at 1 Komtar, 10100 Georgetown, and is open Wednesday to Monday from 1100-1900. It is only a minute or two walk from Komtar bus terminal. Jurassic Research Center @The Top Penang is created to educate and entertain, the center has informative exhibits on paleontology, from displays of fossils to replicas of excavation sites. It brings almost 200 dinosaurs like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptor, Triceratops, Pteranodon and more back to life with the help of the latest animatronics technology to create a hands-on interactive activity centre of epic proportions.

Place for us to learn about dinosaur, their 'fake' dinosaur look quite real. There are a lot of dinosaur with movement and sound when you pass by each of them. Friendly staff and clean environment. A good place for you to capture some photos. They have timing to follow to enter the Jurassic Research Center. 🦖 Small but interesting. Could be a bit longer as it took us about 20 minutes to walk through. They only allow 2 entries per hour usually on and half past the hour. You get more value for your money if the top pass is purchased instead of single entrance to this exhibit. 👣 We had lots of fun taking pictures and enjoyed the show. especially with baby dino that just hatched in the laboratory. Overall, a very educational visit. 👍🏻 #penang #MyTripVlog #awesomepic #best_trip_by_trip #summervacation #bestplace #mustcome #enjoylife

#familytrips2024 Family trip at the top georgetown penang. The location is in the middle of the city in the mall, but if it rains you can't see it because some of it is in the open. Children's tour that educates knowledge about dinosaurs. The animal can move and make sound. Recommendation to take children there. Thank you trip.com for providing flight and hotel promos for this trip.

#2024wish My 2024 travel wish is to visit Langkawi. I would like to visit the attractions there and find out more about their culture there. Also to try out their food. The Jurassic research center is located at the genting Highlands. It is a place to find out more about the past when the dinosaurs have lived in this world. It is definitely an educational tour where you can find out what species of dinosaurs that have existed in the past. It is definitely an exhibition that is suitable for everyone including young children who want to find out more about the dinosaur world.

#Travelwithtrip2024 It is a good place for kids to visit many species of dinosaurs, moving and making realistic sounds both inside and outside the building. There are many exciting activities to do, besides the aquarium. At Top Komtar, it is recommended to buy a combo ticket for 3 activities. The more you buy, the cheaper it is. You can stay in one place all day. Opening hours: Open daily from 10:30 am to 7:30 pm Address: The Top Penang Building: Jurassic Research Center #Penang #PenangTravel #PenangTravelByYourself #TopPenang #penang #malaysia #georgetown #toppenang #keetravel #keetravel

A surprisingly real display of Jurassic beasts with a good touch of motion added into all the display models which actually moves in anticipation of your presence. Animals are surreal and are soft to touch unlike most similar parks which the models are all made of fibreglass. Provides a really fantastic selfie and photography opportunity to all visitors with a good visual reality studio walk through at the end. Also include a mock up fossil museum which is really cool. The indoor centre is quite huge, took us some time to finish all the sections. Lots of life sized dinosaurs can be found moving & making sounds. The best spot for us is the ruined lab centre with lots of Velociraptors around, it’s quite interactive as you can find your own way out by opening the safety doors yourself. It is very educational, informative and fun for kids and adults. We requested for one of the worker there to follow us around to get more information regarding dinosaurs and archeology related. He's very insightful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend it. A pretty good experience overall. Kids would definitely love this place. ❤️ #mymymemories #awesomepic #bestplace #bestmemory #loveit #best_trip_by_trip #bestdayever #mustgo #mustcome #happytrip

This quite a nice place for dinasour lover, which quite similar feel with the movie Jurassic Park. If the park able to let the visitor visit on night time it is quite a nice experience. #topjurassicpark
