Cowboy Town, A’Famosa Resort Melaka

Cowboy Town is located in A’Famosa Resort. We visited in Cowboy Town Dec 2012 when a few relatives came and stayed in Melaka. They wanted to stay in A’Famosa and see the show. Since there was an extra room in the Condotel, we stayed a night and joined the show as well.

Once you are in A’Famosa Resort, getting to Cowboy town is not difficult. It’s near the entrance, so you can’t miss it. You can either drive there or take the resort taxi for a nominal fee. If you are driving there, you better be early as it is packed during school holidays.

Malaysian : RM 30 per adult / RM 25 per child

Jurassic Park in Melaka

jurasic-dinosourThe Jurassic Park is proposed to be built at the 1Malaysia beachfront. Once completed, it will be the first of its kind in Malaysia and also Asia. It’s good that the state government is promoting tourism, the park will add more tourist attraction to the state. However, we at MelakaCool.com are concern on the traffic problem in the historical city. It is bad on weekends and it gets worse during school holiday. We hope that the tram project will help to clear part of the problem.

Anyway, the Jurassic Park will be all about dinosaurs. It would showcase about 200 species of dinosaurs which would be operated through electronic and hydraulic systems. The dinosaurs would roar when you walk past them.
