Eye on Malacca
Eye on Malacca

Situated on the banks of Melaka River, just opposite the old Cathay Cinema near Jalan Hang Tuah Bridge, the 25 metre high Eye on Malacca is Malacca’s latest tourist attraction. It is expected to be bigger than Taman Tasik Titiwangsa’s Eye on Malaysia, as two other attractions have been added on to it, a trampoline bungee and a pirate ship – which can be experienced as a bundled deal along with a ride on the Eye on Malacca.
