Dinosaur attraction on Level 4 of The TOP Penang featuring a live-presenter show and fossil displays. Best value as part of the five-attraction combo pass. Primarily suits children under 10.

Enter from Komtar building, find your way to level 4. It's a very lively place as compared to ground level. There's alot of activities at level 4 & 5. Suitable for adults for skywalk, skybridge. Good to bring your kids here for the games

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 4–10 who are enthusiastic about dinosaurs. The live presenter show adds energy that static displays alone cannot. Older children and adults without young kids will likely find the content underwhelming. Buy the five-attraction combo pass rather than standalone entry β€” the value difference is significant.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Enter through Komtar building and navigate to Level 4 β€” signage inside can be confusing, ask staff
⏰Buy the five-attraction combo pass online for the best per-attraction value
🎟️Factor in waiting time between show segments β€” two video presentations precede the main exhibits
πŸš—Combine with the Rainbow Skywalk and Sky Bridge on the same visit for a full day

β€œVery entertaining Jurassic park research experience for the kids. There is a so call show where a doctor dinosaur scientist will give a speech. So there is a waiting time each show will show or waiting for the max crowd. Once we finish the show then enter to the center with some fossils display then second section which is the outdoor of some real dinosaurs display. Not too big but is a really great experience for dinosaur lovers. Highly recommend with the 5 top combo attraction together which is cheaper and worth it. Tips: There is 2 show or video before enter to the next section. So there are 2 sections and after 1st video will enter fossils research and then second video will enter to the real dinosaurs display. I would say great experience from the TOP.”

β€œJurassic Research Centre @ The Top offers an interesting and educational experience, especially for families with children and dinosaur enthusiasts. The dinosaur displays are fun, and the information provided is helpful for learning more about prehistoric life. The location is convenient, and the concept itself is unique. However, some exhibits feel a bit basic and could be better maintained or updated to make the experience more immersive. The visit is relatively short, so it may not fully meet expectations for those looking for a more detailed or interactive attraction. Overall, it’s a decent place for a quick visit, particularly with kids. With a few improvements, it could become a much more engaging attraction.”

β€œyou can buy the tickets online. i got mine at rm68 for 5 attractions: entry to the top penang 1. rainbow skywalk 2. observatory deck 3. sky bridge 4. jurassic research center 5. boutique aquarium it’s fun if you have kids or if you’re going on a date, but don’t put very high expectations. the place isn’t that well taken care of, but still kinda one of a kind. it’s walkable from a few hotels and cafes, though traffic can get pretty bad during rush hour.”

Overview

Jurassic Research Center opens with a presenter-led show in a staging area before moving guests into fossil displays and interactive sections. Two video presentations precede entry into different exhibit areas, creating wait time between segments. Located inside The TOP Penang via Komtar's Level 4. Adults visiting without young children may find the content basic relative to standalone ticket pricing. Cafe and parking available at The TOP complex.
