Tropical Village, Miniature park in Ayer Hitam, Malaysia
Tropical Village is an abandoned miniature park in Ayer Hitam, Batu Pahat District, Johor, covering 32 acres (13 ha). It is divided into four sections: Landmarks, the Leisure Corner, the Playground and the Agricultural Enclosure. The Landmarks garden holds replicas of the Petronas Towers, A Famosa Fort, the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China, plus Kompang sculptures and Kuda Kepang figures.
The park was created to introduce a new form of educational tourism to the Batu Pahat region, bridging international architecture with local context. This combination established a novel approach to presenting global cultural landmarks alongside regional heritage.
The park displays miniature models of famous landmarks from around the world, allowing visitors to encounter these places in compact form. These reproductions make distant locations accessible and create a playful engagement with global architecture.
The park lies in Ayer Hitam, Batu Pahat District, Johor, and can be reached by bus 2 or 888 from Larkin Sentral in Johor Bahru. Dormitories inside the park let visitors stay overnight. The grounds cover 32 acres (13 ha) across four sections, so allow time to walk between the Landmarks garden, Leisure Corner, Playground and Agricultural Enclosure.
The park's Mini World gathers replicas from several continents, including the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Statue of Liberty, the Merlion and the Moai of Easter Island. A separate section reproduces Malay culture through Kompang sculptures and Kuda Kepang, and dormitories let visitors stay overnight on the 32-acre grounds.
