Tanjung Tualang Tin Dredge No. 5 lets families climb the preserved industrial dredge using safety harnesses, with panoramic third-floor views and a hanging bridge maze for active kids.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Excellent for families with school-age children who enjoy history combined with physical adventure. The harness climb is the centrepiece - thrilling for kids comfortable with heights, unsuitable for anyone with height anxiety or mobility limitations. The outdoor dredge viewing is free if you want to assess before committing to the full tour.

“The price might not be cheap but the experience was memorable that it gets a 5 star from me.. You are allowed to climb up the dredge and experience how it was to work there. The 3rd floor view is amazing. There is safety harness provided. Required online purchase. We bought ours on arrival. It was fast and smooth. We arrived on Monday 9am. No crowd. Just us. There is a A&W outlet right at the entrance at the time of writing this. The ticket includes entrance into the Maze. To get there you need to walk on narrow hanging bridge. It is quite a bit of walking on the bridge hanging from tree to tree. That is also another adventure. The maze itself is nothing much. This place is not for those who scared of height and have mobility issues.”
