Crocodile & Reptile Park, Malacca, Malacca Malaysia

Crocodile & Reptile Park is set opposite the Melaka Zoo. It is home to more than 200 species of crocs including Siamese, African Dwarf, Humpback and Indian Marsh crocs. It does not compare to Langkawi Crocodile Farm, which has over 1,000 reptiles, but it is still a good place to spend an afternoon.

Spread across more than three hectares, the crocs are kept in secure enclosures: suspended platforms overhead allow you to get unobstructed views of the reptiles as they whip themselves into a feeding frenzy during feeding hours. Fairly interesting are the performances every Sunday where trainers wrestle/ play with the animals. It may not be as wildly entertaining as watching Steve Irwin flirt with them, but since you can’t experience that anymore, then this is the next best thing.

The Crocodile & Reptile Park is situated in Ayer Keroh, directly acroos from the Melaka Zoo. Just after the Ayer Keroh toll plaza, off the North-South Expressway, take the road straight ahead: the farm is set to the left of the road.
