Butterfly and Reptile Sanctuary

Explore wonderful creatures in Melaka's Butterfly and Reptile Sanctuary located in Ayer Keroh. Seniors will find it very relaxing and interesting to see beautiful and majestic butterflies flying around the premises. There are more than 200 species in this butterfly farm, as well as a wide collection of reptiles and insects.

St. Paul's Church

Seniors can visit the historical ruins of a former Portuguese chapel located at St. Paul Hills. St. Paul Church was later transformed into a burial ground. This is also the burial place of St. Francis Xavier. A visit to the church will help seniors spend a few moments in the sanctuary and receive strength and inspiration.

Muara Sungai Duyung-Fishing Village

Seniors will surely enjoy the serene environment in Muara Sungai Duyung. This is the right place to come and experience life in an authentic fishing village.
