Waste of time and money
Such a disappointment! Had to give a one-star because you can’t give a zero star rating! Booked on line which provided us next to no information. Arrived to find we couldn’t wear a skirt like garment (actually skorts) so couldn’t do the rainbow walk - only the observation deck. Herded like cattle then inundated with their photographers who wanted us to pose doing the peace sign and other similar poses … fine unless you’re actually interested in keeping the photos. Specifically went to have a cocktail on the rooftop as advertised and promoted - only to find they didn’t serve cocktails. Couldn’t even give us a lime and soda water as they didn’t have limes! All in all an exercise in frustration and disappointment! Total waste of money!

From 60 Stories High to Peranakan Cultural Finds Below: A Great Day Out at KOMTAR
Getting your bearings at KOMTAR is straightforward: once your Grab drops you off, just follow the signage directly to the ticket counters. They offer quite a few bundled packages; we opted for the combination covering the Rainbow Skywalk, Observation Deck, Jurassic Research Center, and the Boutique Aquarium. Standing 60-odd stories above Penang is genuinely spectacular. The Observation Deck offers a stunning 360 degrees panorama spanning the city skyline, the iconic bridges, the harbor, and the distant hills. It is an excellent spot to decompress with a cold drink, provided your nerves can handle the glass floor looking straight down to the streets below. The facility is well-maintained, and the staff deserve a shoutout; they manage to be strictly safety-conscious while keeping things warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. As for the rest of the bundle: the dinosaur exhibit is well-executed, though admittedly it caters more to the wonder of younger children than cynical adults. The aquarium is a cozy space, but it packs a surprising variety of marine life, from rays to sea urchins. Even with the weekend crowd, foot traffic flowed reasonably well. A quick insider tip: Don't just rush out after the main attractions. The lower levels of KOMTAR hold some great local retail nuggets. We stumbled upon a shop called Bee Gee and walked away with beautifully crafted Peranakan kebayas at incredibly fair prices. These cultural garments are becoming rare as younger generations move away from the craft, so finding them felt special. The two owners were incredibly patient, sharing the history behind the pieces without a hint of a pushy sales pitch. Between the dizzying heights above and the cultural finds below, it’s a day well spent in George Town.

Great view
Convenient location. Followed the sign to enter the elevator that took the visitors up to level 65 and level 68 subsequently. Great view from the indoor observation deck. The panoramic views from the Rainbow Skybridge were breathtaking. Even it was not too long, it was quite enjoyable. The floor of the Rainbow Skybridge was transparent, so shoe covers were compulsory. Nice staffs. The entrance fee was affordable. However, some add-on charges such as photos were little bit expensive. Stayed about one hour.

Skip the line not required
Great time, depending when you go it may not be too busy , no real reason to skip the line , although I would recommend skipping the line / cable cars . Lovely roof top restaurant
via Tripadvisor
Waste of time and money. Go to KL instead.
What a waste of time and money. Yes you get great views of Penang, however the walkway is very small. Too many people(children) allowed on at once. Unable to get decent pictures as crowded. There were no directions before of where to go. No signs afterwards on how to get out. Very poor organisation

Penang Rainbow Skywalk at The Top Komtar Observation Deck Tickets: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Penang.
How much does Penang Rainbow Skywalk at The Top Komtar Observation Deck Tickets cost?
+
Prices start at $22 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Penang usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Penang Rainbow Skywalk at The Top Komtar Observation Deck Tickets take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Penang is not rushed.
Is Penang Rainbow Skywalk at The Top Komtar Observation Deck Tickets worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Penang, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Penang Rainbow Skywalk at The Top Komtar Observation Deck Tickets?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Penang Rainbow Skywalk at The Top Komtar Observation Deck Tickets suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Penang Rainbow Skywalk at The Top Komtar Observation Deck Tickets?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Penang can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Penang and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Penang Rainbow Skywalk at The Top Komtar Observation Deck Tickets start and how do I get there?
+

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Penang?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Penang?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
