Melaka Zoo

The Melaka Zoo is one of the star attractions in the Ayer Keroh area following its strategic location along Lebuh Ayer Keroh, the main road linking the State with the North-South Expressway.

Set in a beautifully landscaped area, the Melaka Zoo is considered as one of the oldest zoos in Malaysia and is home to some of the endangered species of animals in the world. Among some of the rare animals to be found here include the Red Panda, which is strikingly different from the giant pandas of China.

Apart from viewing the animals from outside the enclosure, visitors can also seek the thrills of riding an elephant or horse, which is a favourite among the young visitors to the zoo.

Another attraction at the zoo is its 1.5 hectare mini-safari where visitors can walk along a raised platform viewing some of the animals from close range. To date, there are some 80 animals from 16 species roaming freely on the beautifully landscaped safari. Among some of the animals include impalas, springboks, zebras, deers, emus and storks. Developed by the National Parks and Wildlife Department, the RM7.2 million safari was opened to the public in November 2000.
