The Penang Adventure Zone the first of its kind in Malaysia. It is located at the Batu Feringghi beach. It is exciting to have our own Adventure Zone. This is another Penang sightseeing place for those on vacations.
The highlight of the Penang Adventure Zone is the thrilling drop slides, available in three levels, categorized as the "Hyperglide Astra Drop," "Double Drop" and "Demon Drop" slides.
The "Hyperglide Astra Drop" slide has a height of 18 feet and a length of 50 feet. While the "Double Drop" slide, with a ball pit exit, stands 20 feet tall and has a length of 48 feet.
The "Demon Drop" slide is aptly named, offering a hair-raising ride with a vertical drop of 24 feet spanning 75 feet.
Aside from the drop slides that occupy half of the multi-storey complex, the facility is divided into three zones to cater for different age groups.
The "Toddler Zone" caters to children of 4 years' old and below, offering modular play equipment that include a padded corner climber, a spinning disc, an "over under hurdles", a tumble tower, a padded ramp, a ball fountain, a ball pool, "swinging snakes," bish bags and a play kitchen.
The second zone offers more challenging play modules for older children. These include a pull up ramp, a roller pole, an "x-changer," a padded corner climber, "over and under hurdles," the horizon roller, a ladder climb, a zigzag climber, a spinning pole and spinning step, a horizontal squeeze roller, a fireman's pole, a v-net bridge, swinging steps, "swing over nets," a tube crawl, a tumble tower and the "slither chicane".
The third zone offers additional facilities for teenagers and adults. Games include Nintendo Wii game consoles, board games, football and air hockey, pinball machines and arcade games.
