Took a grab. A few interesting exhibits inside and then enjoyed walking around the gardens and heritage village, which was much cooler. We managed to get a few insect bites so bring repellant just in case. Spent two hours in the end before taking another grab to imago for lunch. 60 myr for a family of four (kids are same price as adults for non-Malaysians).

Reviewed By AnnaMayV - Pasig, Philippines

The skyline is amazing from this viewpoint. You can clearly see the divide between Old City and New City. There's a place to buy snacks/ drinks, but mostly people really come here for the killer view. Best for people who appreciate these things, some peace and quiet or a quick rest on one of the benches, take a few pictures. Afternoon to sunset/ evening would be the best time to go. You can opt to drive here or take a trail from the nearby Atkinson clock tower.
