Hi Fazstarsky, Wheelchairs are available at the lower train station and The Habitat trail is wheelchair friendly. Do ask our staff on arrival for the best route for the wheelchair. Thank you and look forward to welcoming you to The Habitat.

You can take flight, train, bus, or car to Penang Island. I would suggest you check in to any hotel in Penang first, then, take any ground transportation to Penang Hill. There you can buy The Penang Hill Train (Penang Hill Funicular Railway) ticket to the top of Penang Hill. Habitat is at the top of hill.

yes!

It’s very steep to get there and it could take a while - it took us half an hour in a car
