Spend your first day discovering Melaka's rich history and culture. Start with a visit to the Stadthuys, a Dutch architecture building that dates back to the 17th century and now houses the Museum of History and Ethnography.
Next, head to the Christ Church, a historical landmark established in 1753. Another must-see attraction for families is the Jonker Street Night Market, which is famous for its vibrant atmosphere, delicious street food, and various souvenirs. End your day with a visit to the Menara Taming Sari, a 110-meter-high revolving tower that provides a breathtaking panoramic view of Melaka.
Start your day by visiting the Melaka Zoo, home to over 1200 animals from more than 200 species. Your kids will love seeing the tigers, elephants, orangutans, and other friendly creatures.
After the zoo, enjoy a nice picnic at the Ayer Keroh Recreational Forest, a nature reserve that offers various activities such as hiking and bird watching. If you're craving for a beach day, take a 30-minute drive down to Pantai Klebang Beach where you can enjoy Melaka's beautiful coastline.
On your last day, take your family to the A'Famosa Resort, which is home to a water theme park, safari park, horse ranch, and golf course. It's a perfect place for families who love fun and adventure.
After the resort, visit the Melaka Wonderland Theme Park & Resort, the largest water theme park in Melaka that boasts over 16 attractions, including the longest and largest water coaster in Malaysia. Before leaving, experience a kayak ride on the Melaka River and witness the beautiful scenery of the city.
For families who have more time to explore, don't miss out on the Malacca Butterfly and Reptile Sanctuary, Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall, and the People's Museum. However, if you have less time, consider skipping Ayer Keroh Recreational Forest and Pantai Klebang Beach.
