The Taman Mini Malaysia cultural park is located a few kilometres outside of Melaka, near the town of Ayer Keroh. If you have an interest in traditional architecture and ways of life, this is a great place to go exploring. Each of the homes represents the architectural style of the 13 states in Malaysia and is furnished with various items, arts and crafts which depict the culture of each state.
Inside each house, you can find a range of genuine handicrafts originating from each state or county. The life-like figures 'inhabiting' each charming home on stilts are garbed in their respective traditional costumes.
Other attractions in the park include weekly cultural shows and traditional games.
Basically, this is an opportunity to see all Malaysian architecture and heritage in a short all-encompassing outing. And it's a nice break from the hustle and bustle of nearby urban Melaka.
Key Tips
This park lies just after the turn-off from the main North-South highway to Melaka. To save time and money, you may want to visit the Taman Mini on your way to or back from Melaka.
How to get there
By Bus, Rental Car or Taxi Exit at the Ayer Keroh interchange from the North-South Expressway. Go straight until you see the Butterfly Park on your left. To get to the park, you will need to take the second main junction on your left from the Ayer Keroh main road.
