Johor Bahru’s observation deck is Skyscape — a 149-metre-high aerial gallery on Level 34 of Menara JLand, the tower above the KOMTAR JBCC mall — where a 360° window frames the JB skyline, Selat Tebrau, the Causeway and parts of Singapore.

If you’ve searched for a “sky view” or “skydeck” at KOMTAR JBCC, this is the place people mean. It isn’t branded “The Sky View” — the real, operating attraction is called Skyscape 📍 Map, and it sits inside Menara JLand right above the KOMTAR JBCC / JBCC complex. Here’s what you actually get.

Is the KOMTAR JBCC observation deck real and open?

Yes. The deck is Skyscape, on Level 34 of Menara JLand, and it has operated as JB’s aerial entertainment space since 2019. Its own listings and the Johor Bahru city council both put it at roughly 149 metres above ground, with daily hours around 9:00am to 10:00pm. Hours and last-entry times do change, so check current hours before you go.

What can you see from the top?

The draw is the view. From the deck you look out over the Johor Bahru skyline, across the Straits of Johor (Selat Tebrau), along the Johor–Singapore Causeway 📍 Map, and out to Singapore’s skyline on a clear day. Watching the traffic crawl across the Causeway between the two cities is a view all on its own. There’s also a glass-floor sky bridge — a see-through walkway that makes it feel like you’re floating over the city, best saved for anyone comfortable with heights.

How much is a ticket and how long should you spend?

Beyond the observation deck, a single ticket usually covers a cluster of indoor experiences — a telescope deck, the glass sky bridge, an LED tunnel, VR games and a mini theatre — so most visitors spend around an hour or so. Ticket prices sit in the low-to-mid RM tens for adults, with child and senior rates; because promos and pricing shift, check current pricing on the official channel before booking. Go near sunset if you can: the switch from daylight skyline to city lights over the Causeway is the money shot.

How do you get there, and where should you stay?

Skyscape is right in the JBCC city centre, a short walk from the CIQ checkpoint and JB Sentral — easy on foot or by a quick Grab. To make it a relaxed evening rather than a rushed cross-border dash, base yourself in the city. Southern Homestay’s serviced units at KSL D’Esplanade 📍 Map sit above KSL City Mall, about 10 minutes from the JB CIQ, with Grab pickup at the door. First time over the Causeway?
