Tech Dome Penang

“Tech Dome Penang is a commendable non-profit organisation that plays an important role in promoting science, technology, and innovation to the public, especially children. One of its standout achievements is the revival and meaningful use of the iconic geodesic dome in KOMTAR, transforming it into a purposeful and educational space rather than letting it fade into obscurity. The centre offers a very good learning experience for kids, with hands-on exhibits that encourage curiosity, problem-solving, and exploration. Many of the games and devices are fun, interactive, and engaging, making learning feel playful rather than forced. That said, a noticeable drawback is that several exhibits were not working, which slightly diminished the overall experience and broke the flow of exploration. What truly elevates Tech Dome is its people. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic, always ready to explain concepts, assist children, and share their passion for science and technology. Their positive attitude makes a significant difference, especially for younger visitors. Overall, Tech Dome Penang is a valuable educational attraction with strong potential. With better maintenance of exhibits, it could be an even more impactful and memorable destination for families and young learners. I will not hesitate to visit again and support the cause of the Penang Tech Dome for the benefit it brings to Penang. A special mention to Mr Peru and Mr Steven for making the visit a memorable one.”

“One of the best educational experiences on the island. While there was no wait to get inside, tickets are definitely a good purchase. The main exhibitions themselves were fun and interactive. I probably spent more time on the motion detection sensored skeleton display than I'd admit. Lots of theories and ideas were explained really well and quite informative. Kudos to the tour guide for making the experience even better”

“Lots of basic physics introductions and interactions VR instruments. It’s worthy to visit! We are from Taiwan meeting a nice instructor called Peru who owns passion and is an energetic guy explaining the concept to us! Suggesting to adding more signals to Tech Dome, it’s really hard to find…”

“It’s in Komtar. Good intentions but need a face lift and maintenance. Many exhibits were out of order. Need to pay extra for some games such as G-force. No charge for OKU individuals. Very kind of them.”
