The Penang Botanic Gardens lie on Jalan Air Terjun at the foot of Penang Hill, on George Town's western edge. Laid out by the British in 1884 on a former granite quarry under its first curator Charles Curtis, the 29-hectare gardens are also called the Waterfall Gardens after a nearby cascade and form part of the Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve.
Penang Hill is a group of forested peaks in the centre of Penang Island, about 9 km west of central George Town, rising to 833 metres at Western Hill. A retreat from the heat in colonial times, its developed summit, Flagstaff Hill, is reached by the Penang Hill Railway funicular and has viewpoints over George Town, colonial bungalows, temples and forest trails.
Entopia is an insect and nature centre in Teluk Bahang on the north coast of Penang Island, founded in 1986 as the Penang Butterfly Farm and reopened in new buildings in 2016. Under its glass domes, butterflies fly freely through a planted outdoor garden, while an indoor discovery centre shows insects, reptiles and other small animals.
