Komtar’s The Top: An Edutainment Tower For All

The deep blue sea awaits at The Top’s Boutique Aquarium

You might be familiar with the once iconic KOMTAR tower standing proudly in the middle of the George Town city centre, but have you heard of its three newly added floors, The Top?

As the tallest building in Penang, KOMTAR has served greatly to the locals, providing retail outlets, offices, and a transportation hub. Slowly losing its popularity to the newer shopping malls, KOMTAR was given a ‘hairdo’ in 2015 when three more floors were added to give birth to The Top, Penang’s largest indoor theme park.

Before you stand at the top of the world, head underwater at The Top’s Penang Boutique Aquarium. Enter the underwater world and witness various marine life species, and do not forget to identify the different themes throughout the aquarium.
