About Adventure Waterpark Desaru Coast + Tech Dome Penang Combo Ticket

Adventure Waterpark Desaru Coast is one of Malaysia's most spectacular outdoor destinations. Set against the turquoise backdrop of the Johor coastline, this 5-zone waterpark is home to the region's first water coaster, one of the world's largest wave pools, and a lazy river aptly named the Penawar River — an entire tropical day out in one place. With a maximum capacity of 2,500 guests per day and stunning natural surroundings, it's a genuinely premium experience.

Tech Dome Penang is the polar opposite — and the perfect complement. Housed inside KOMTAR's distinctive geodesic dome in the heart of George Town, this science and technology centre packs 120+ interactive exhibits into 7 themed galleries: Robotics, Forces & Motion, Optics, Electromagnetism, Information Technology, Life Tech, and an astronomy observatory. The star attraction is the G-Drop — the world's first free-standing vertical drop slide — but the laser maze, the NAO robot you can actually converse with, and the digital autopsy tool are all equally unforgettable. Pack your swimwear for the morning, your curiosity for the afternoon, and book both on Thrillark.
