A Visit to Melaka Crocodile and Recreation Park

Salam and Hi lovelies!

First of all, I wanna wish a Happy New Year
to all of you, may this 2020 would bring
much better in everything to all of us.

Indeed this is our first trip in 2020, well more
like a visit though since at first we just wandering
around Melaka city for shopping and foodie etc,
then on our way home later in the evening, we
decided to visit this Melaka Crocodile and
Recreation Park a.k.a Taman Buaya dan Rekreasi
Melaka, which is located at Ayer Keroh, Melaka.
You can simply waze for their exact location okay hehe.

My kids never been there and since they do loves
animals, so that’s perfect to visit. It’s been a while
that we haven’t go to any zoo or animal farm as well.
The ticketing are affordable too especially for MyKad
holder, since average ticket costs is just below RM20.
Kids 4 years old and below got free entrance, so the
total ticket entrance for us four that day was RM52 hehe.
You can see the full ticket pricing as per attached
below yea for more clarity :

Alright so upon entering, we decided to walk around
first, directly going to those crocodiles. There are various
types of crocodiles as well as others such as Emu Bird,
rabbit, and fish as well, but indeed mostly are crocodiles.

You can find around 10 or more, along with variety of
gates and surrounding for each, I guess it’s depends on
the types of the crocodiles. We’re indeed amazed and glad
that we went there as we learnt various things about
crocodiles too, especially the types and what each are like.

For example, there are crocodiles that can jump up to 5 feet,
which is the Frog Crocodile and also that’s how they got their
name. I mean, that’s amazing and scary at the same time right!
I never knew that haha and upon reading the facts there,
I’m basically withdrew myself a bit from their gate haha!

The Hunchback Crocodile. When you see it with your own eyes, 

you'll be able to clearly see their hunch at the back.

This is the Froggy one if I'm not mistaken hehe sorry 

as I kinda mixed up which is which already

Can you spot the differences with this one? 

YES it's their mouth shape!

Another unique types of crocodile is the Hunchback crocodile,
which they literally are got the hunch at their back. Yes for real
and I kinda swayed looking at their hunch! Visiting this park
makes me realize that crocodiles literally have different kind of
skin, colour, even mouth shapes and all.

One that we will never forget is this crocodile named Harris,
such a clever one really! If you wanna know what Harris did
that is so clever, feel free to watch this full video here as I’ve
compiled the visit there along with the amazing moment
with Harris there as well hehe :

Feel free to watch yeaa!

Before we ended our tour, we managed to get close to their huge stuffed crocodile
as well as more infos regarding crocodile’s life in this front section
there. There are displays of crocodile and anaconda fetuses,
along with their eggs, bones structures and everything. Those definitely are
informative and interesting, you can watch it in the video above as well.

This is the full pic of that stuffed crocodile

You can see more close up etc in the video as attached above okay 

If you must know, there are also a ghost house, deer farm, and
mini statues park as well inside (you can see them in the video as well),
and you can also experience the show provided by their team there during
weekend at several scheduled timing. It must be fun but too bad as we
missed the show since we got there late huhuu.

Yet still, we definitely are having fun and really glad that we pay a visit
there since we does learnt so much too and it’s such a great experience
to see those crocodiles and all up close too! The kids definitely enjoyed
their time there as finally they can see up close and learnt a lot
about crocodiles there.

Overall, that is such a great visit and perfect as family bonding
time as well for us over the weekend to go there.
If you’re planning on a road trip to Melaka or looking for
places to visit there, feel free to check this Melaka Crocodile
and Recreation Park, especially when you all loves animals
and nature.
