- Motai8888Hong Kong9 contributionsI visited the mansion and joined the English tour given by Francis. It was a very informative and humorous tour (RM25): Francis has a lovely manner about him and he answered questions very knowledgably as well. The mansion is gorgeous, so beautifully maintained and with a lot to see. Also highly recommend the cafe/gift shop: the nyonya cakes at the cafe are delicious!Written 28 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Venture226226134771 contributionExcellence service from Mr Resty. He was patient, attentive to the needs of my elderly parents, and would go the extra mile to make all the necessary arrangements for our convenience.
The food available at the hotel was good too, like nyonya curry laska, aglio olio - al dente spaghetti (from Mangga), prawn mee, dhal (breakfast), and the dining experience at Indigo was not to be missed. Overall experience was memorable.Written 17 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It does not take that long to go through the formal exhibit and to see the site. Well worth a visit if you have never been a clan house.Written 28 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 71emmaKuching, Malaysia529 contributionsThis place is actually located inside Komtar building, if I'm not mistaken, being a tourist :) and very near to 1st Avenue Mall My grandkids visited this amazing place just two weeks ago. They had such a great fun time. They particularly enjoyed the G-drop and wall climbing, which were both exciting and exhilarating. It was a challenge to their courage as well. Apart from these two, there were other interesting activities. It's definitely worth a visit!
This is the most enjoyable part for the kids during our visit to Penang.Written 17 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Although the place in general is quite dead, there are still some nice boutiques with good prices. Food court serves quality fast meals with dirt cheap price. Tourists may take a visit if time allows.Written 20 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LeonhknyHong Kong, China19,680 contributionsClanhouses have long been the rallying point of the local Chines community in Penang. The Cheah Kongsi, or the family temple of the Cheah clan, is a remarkable example. It is a truly impressive, southern Chinese building with pretentious decorations. The small museum tells the story of the Cheahs in Penang and how the extended family utilizes the structure to maintain communal ties. The 10 MYR admission is well worth it.Written 19 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NoorAmirah@SEU338EPenang Island, Malaysia34 contributionsThe artwork pieces include sculptures and illusion paintings. All the pieces featured at the museum are locally made, which is one of the unique aspects that Penang 3D Trick Art Museum is proud to share. The price is affordable. The staff are very friendly and helpful.Written 16 June 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
