Tech Dome Penang let me feel like a kid again and experience Science in another new perspective. Wonder what they have? Seeing their price list makes me wonder "Is it worth it?" It is located at Penang's Komtar Dome. As I don't usually travel to Penang Island just for shopping so not very familiar with the parking area. You can park at several areas around Komtar. We had selected to park at Pragin Multi-level car park and walk over to Komtar using the link bridge (As some parking charged by hour and some charged at per-entry).

After sneaking through Pragin Mall and entered Komtar, they have signs showing where is Tech Dome is and we just follow their signs.
After getting our tickets, we went exploring the area. Their main attraction is the G-Drop which looks like a giant "J". Noted at their counter that G-Drop, G-Force & Speed Climb/Dark Tower/ Circuit Breaker has operating time which is 11am, 2pm & 4pm.
After climb up the escalator after getting our tickets, we can see the giant G-Drop at the centre of the Tech Dome. Below are some of photos (mostly with Jelly playing) and Tech Dome Penang houses over 120 interactive scientific and technology exhibits! Jelly enjoys playing some!

Their nursing room is very disappointing 
. It is just a very small room with a counter with a sink. No chairs, no bin, no changing bed, don't expect to have hot water dispenser. Maybe my expectation of a nursing room is very high as I seen how Entopia has them done nicely.

| This is how it looks like, not a friendly nursing room. (Photo taken from Tech Dome Penang Website) I saw this room and I didn't take a photo of it as I didn't knew it was a nursing room until I visited their website to know about it |
Overall review:
Atmosphere: It is one of the latest attraction place in Penang. The place is still new and need more improvements. As their Exhibits are all interactive, visitors won't feel bored going for the 2nd time. As usual, Jelly just love running around and she loves the Exploration Zone. A good place to learn and bring family to visit. Suitable for children above 5 as they can play and learn science.
Service: They have 1 nursing rooms(Next to the toilet), which is not equipped, unless I am expected to nurse while standing. Other that that, their staffs are friendly and well trained, as they know what are the exhibits and teach us even without us asking how to play them. They are also very easy approaching visitors. Feel free to ask them if you have any doubts about their exhibits!
