Taman Mini Malaysia

Taman Mini Malaysia 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.

This cultural park is located near the town of Ayer Keroh. You minght have heard or seen this phrase 'Visit Melaka means visit Malaysia' before. You will get it once you explore traditional architecture and ways of life presented at this park. 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.
