It was a sunny afternoon and we were looking some indoor activity to spend the time. My friend saw this place from Tripadvisor. Since it's the "1st Top Thing To Do List" in Malacca therefore we gave it a try. In the beggining, we received a warm welcome from Ms. Melanie. She gave us a briefing about the rules while interacting with the huskies. Hand sanitizer is provided. Surprisingly this place is unexpectedly amazing as we are able to interact with more than 10 Siberian Huskies in a clean environment. There are staffs always duty in the area to ensure the safety of the dogs and human.Free photography service is available.Not only that, there is an education gallery available for us to understand more about the breed. In the end of the session, there are free drinks available to claim at the cafe. We would definitely come back when we are back to Malacca. Thumbs up to Melanie for the friendly service ????????

A museum featuring 50s to 70s old trades including old traditional chinese medicine shop, the red, blue and white pole barber shop, a go-go era tailor shop, village style sundry shop and an old tricycle delivery transportation of Rothmans, etc. It is very entertaining and also educational.

The museum is very charming. The enormous amounts of interesting antiques is complemented with the passion of mister Tih who manages the museum. Take some time to have a lengthy conversation with him, it's definitely worth it!

Five pooches with very distinctive personalities, and friendly owners. A fun way to spend an hour for dog lovers. They are relocating to Ayer Keroh soon, which is closer to Kuala Lumpur so do make a "pooch pit stop" on the way to Melaka, or on the way back. Woof woof!

On my 1st day in Melaka , chanced upon this property as I was walking along the river. It really is wonderful to see a genuine "kampung" house inside and out! The guide/owner led us on tour around the property, giving clear, interesting details along the way. Worth a vist if you want a feel of the real Melaka and Malay culture.

So much more than jewellery, there is something for everyone! You get to immerse yourself in the Baba Nyonya household, customs, marriage rites, ways of dress, and home life. Passionate and very knowledgable tour from Linda (in Cantonese), ever patient with my questions and she made it so fun. Highly recommend.

The center of town is referred to as "Red Square" because of the Dutch-inspired red buildings.
Reviewed By ElsaCL - New York City, United States
I have not seen pedaled tricycles as elaborately decorated and brightly lit at night as those in Melaka. Fun to look at!!! I wish their boom box is not as loud. The Dutch Square is so resplendent in its red color. It has a wind mill, a tower clock and an over 200-year old Christ Church. In this square you will find the most colorful pedaled tricycles with its owners making a living by giving tourists a fun ride. Do take rides so they will have income. Prices in Malaysia are reasonable.
