Batu Maung Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Penang War Musuem

The war museum is located at the southern tip of Penang Island, inside an old military fort on Bukit Hantu: a name that means ‘Ghost Hill,’ in Malay. Good place to go back in time and relive the footprints of war. The museum is very well kept and preserved. Do wear comfortable shoes to explore as there are actual buildings, escape routes and tunnels for you to crawl and climb on. On entering the tunnel, the temperature dropped immediately – it was cool inside. Please be careful as there were some left over unremoved booby traps. Address: Jalan Batu Maung, 11960 Batu Maung, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia Ambiance/Facilities:7/10 Highlights: The largest war museum in Southeast Asia Rating: 4/5

Worth Seeing Penang War Museum

This place was a military stronghold for the British, but unfortunately it was lost to the invading Japanese during World War II in 1942 #warmuseum #penang #adventure *based on experience before MCO

Penang War Museum

#travelanywhere #richhistory This place is such an informative venue. Slightly difficult to find if you go on the bus but we'll worth the effort. I think on the day we went there were only two other families visiting. The exhibits are well presented with factual information. This is not a theme park but rather a museum telling of times at the end of the second world war that carried on after the main war had finished.

Experience World War II | War Museum

#tripxplorproject I visited the Penang War Museum, Southeast Asia's largest, perched atop Batu Maung Hill. Originally a British military fortress in the 1930s, it fell to Japanese forces in 1942, becoming a site of horror and imprisonment. Abandoned for decades, founder Johari Shafie restored it, preserving its history. Today, the museum offers a vivid portrayal of wartime life, with well-preserved structures and exhibits. Visitors, like Nasrullah, are moved by the museum's immersive experience, reflecting on the wartime atrocities depicted. Recognized by National Geographic and the International WWII Museum Association, it stands as a poignant reminder of the past and the importance of peace.

Penang Aquarium Batu Maung (Malaysia)

During last week school holiday, we went to Batu Maung Aquarium , the aquarium real name Tunku Abdul Rahman Aquarium is a marine and freshwater exhibition centre. It is a mini aquarium. This place is not very big but the layout is beautiful with neat and attractive interior design. The exhibition space is quite comfortable even though there were kindergarten and school groups present on the day I visited. The location of Batu Maung Aquarium is not far from Penang's Second Bridge. Through Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu Highway, exit to Jalan Batu Maung. The aquarium is located on the right opposite the Batu Maung Post Office. Address： Batu Maung Aquarium FRI Batu Maung,11960 Batu Maung,Pulau Pinang
