Mini Malaysia Air Keroh

Mini Malaysia Air Keroh Melaka is a place for those who lack the time to explore the whole country. Now there’s a one-stop shop for you! Here is a theme complex that visitors can check out to get an idea of life in all the states of Malaysia

The traditional houses at Mini Malaysia exemplify the architectural styles of each of the thirteen states of Malaysia. Each of the houses was constructed by a master builder and is furnished with elements characteristic of the culture of each state.

“This Taman Mini Malaysia is the main attraction at Air Keroh where you can look at examples of traditional houses from all 13 Malaysian states."

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, visitors can find various handicrafts originating from each state or country.

Handicrafts have long been a source of income for local people in almost every country in the region. The handicrafts also serve as decoration and the life-like wax dummies, garbed in their respective traditional costumes, are the main features in those houses.
