Anyway, here we go on day 3! What's our next adventure? *drums rollingggggggggg!
PRESENTING TO YOU : THE CROCODILE PARK & TAMAN MINI MALAYSIA!
This is some information that I've got from the information site in the crocodile park. Let me make a short introduction about the crocodile park in Malacca. Taman Buaya & Rekreasi Melaka Sdn Bhd (Malacca Crocodile Park), a sprawling 3.5 hectare park, housed on reserved forest land has been in operation since July 1987. Taman Buaya & Rekreasi Melaka Sdn Bhd (Melaka Crocodile Park) has about 100 species of crocodiles from around the world such as African Dwarf, Siamese, Indian Mugger, Hunchback and many more and they are kept in an atmosphere that is almost equal to their habitat.The Malacca Crocodile Park is located in Ayer Keroh of Melaka; about 20 minutes drive from the town of Malacca.
Here we are in the crocodile park!
A crocodile statue in the entrance!
Other attractions of the Melaka Crocodile Park include horse rides, fairground rides and a ghost house.
The china students went in but as a timid little girl I decided to not give it a try! haha. It was just about a 2-3 minutes adventure in the Haunted house. Though it was really short, I can hear people screaming and yelling in the haunted house. I bet it's really scary!
The park created an ideal captive environment for the crocodiles and displayed to the public.They look so fake to me until they started to open their mouth and yawn! When we looked at their eyes, they were like staring at us fiercely as if they were ready to strike.
FAT CROCODILES!
The keeper actually poked the crocodile with a stick! There are interesting activities provided for visitors such as photography session with the baby crocodile “Diana” which acted in the film “Anna & The King”.
One of my coursemate-Sya tried that but I did not haha.
In my opinion, crocodiles have creepy looking face.
The size of the water park is about 6000 sq. feet. The Malacca Crocodile Park is open daily from 9.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m. If you wish to enter only the crocodile park, then the admission fee for adults is RM5 while children is RM3. But if you want to enter the water playground and visit the crocodile park at the same time, the admission fee will be RM10 for adults and RM6 for children. Some little information to help you out in your visit to Malacca - you can make a booking earlier at http://www.tamanbuayamelaka.com/booking.php
How I wish I could actually jump into the water park as I couldn't bear the heat in Malacca!
So you think that there's only crocodiles in the crocodile park? No YOU"RE WRONG! Besides crocodiles, there are also three other houses which place other reptiles such as Long Neck Turtle, Alligator Fish, Chinese Water Dragon, King Cobra and Alligator Snapping Turtle. The second house is the house of mammals which consist of Raccoon, South American Coati and Brazilian Green Iguana. Last but not least, there is a walk through aviary which place many species of birds such as San Conure and Love Birds. There's also a few species of snakes in the reptile house. Look at this big fat snake!
Besides that, there's also a Malaysia Miniature. It is a place where 13 replica of historical monuments being place as a symbolic of 13 places of attractions in Malaysia. It is the same concept with Mini Malaysia to introduce our country to international visitors. Sorry for not snapping any photos at the Malaysia Miniature place! A reminder to all, Playing with the crocodiles is certainly not recommended for tourists, although they are able to touch or stroke some of the smaller ones under very close supervision. And don't worry if you're hungry after visiting the crocodile park as there's a Mcdonald's nearby the Crocodile park. There's also some small stalls set up outside of the crocodile park selling traditional snacks in Malacca and also some handcrafts as well! If you're interested in exploring more about animals, proceed to the Malacca Zoo opposite of the Crocodile Park!

Hopefully that this small little tips help to guide you exploring Malacca!
As for the crocodile park, It would be informative advertising for me! Why do I think so? The crocodile park is actually building a brand and company image as tourists visit the crocodile park. They have highly-trained keepers helping out to let the public witness the displays of the crocodiles. They also corrected public's thought that there's only crocodiles in the crocodile park but in fact there's water park, Malaysia miniature, reptiles house and mammals in the park. Their official website always keep the public up to date about the price change or any information about the events going on in the Crocodile Park. They describe the available services support such as the water park which allowed the kids and parents to have fun playing in the water after exploring the crocodile park.
