Penang: ESCAPE Adventure Park Entry Ticket & All Ages

Summary

Rediscover play at ESCAPE Penang with rides for everyone

You’ll rediscover real play at ESCAPE Penang: climb ropes under rainforest trees, race down slides with friends or family, and laugh with locals guiding you along the way. With your entry ticket sorted ahead of time and activities for all ages included, it’s a day of simple fun you’ll remember long after leaving the park.

What’s the experience like?

Ever wondered what it feels like to just let go and play again — like you did as a kid? That’s kind of how our day at ESCAPE Penang started. We’d barely made it through the entrance when the sound of kids laughing (and honestly, some adults too) hit us. The air smelled like wet leaves after last night’s rain, and I remember my friend Mei nudging me toward the zipline before I could even finish my coffee. She said something about “low tech, high fun” — I didn’t get it until later.

The place isn’t your usual theme park with blaring music or neon everywhere. It’s more trees than concrete, and you actually have to climb, crawl, or pedal your way through most things. Our guide for the day — well, more like a friendly staff guy named Hafiz — pointed out the best routes for first-timers (he also warned us which slides would soak us completely). There was this moment on the rope course where my hands were shaking from both nerves and excitement; Hafiz just grinned and said, “Everyone wobbles their first time.”

I tried the giant swing next — honestly thought I’d chicken out but ended up screaming louder than any of the kids. The wind in my face felt sharp and real, not like those fake gusts you get in indoor parks. Lunch was just snacks from a stall (spicy peanuts that nearly made me cry), but sitting under big leafy trees made it feel right. We saw families with little ones toddling around and even a group of seniors cheering each other on at the climbing wall — apparently if you’re over 61 and Malaysian you get in free if someone brings you along. Kind of sweet.

By late afternoon we were muddy, tired, and still laughing about Mei’s failed attempt at pronouncing “terjun” (she says she’ll never live it down). I didn’t expect to feel so light after a day without screens or schedules — just moving, playing, getting rained on a bit. If you’re looking for something different near George Town or Batu Ferringhi, this is it. I still think about that feeling of letting go on the swing sometimes.
