β€œVisited Malacca Submarine Museum (also known as Muzium Kapal Selam Melaka) and it was a very unique and interesting experience. Seeing a real submarine up close is already impressive, but stepping inside and walking through the narrow corridors makes it even more exciting. Inside, you can explore different sections of the submarine and learn how life was for the crew. The space is quite tight, so it really gives you a feel of how challenging it must have been for people working inside for long periods. The displays and explanations are informative and easy to understand, making the visit both fun and educational. Outside the submarine, the area is open and suitable for taking photos. It’s also located near other attractions in Klebang, so it’s convenient to include in a day trip. Overall, it’s a great place for families, students, and anyone curious about military history or unique attractions. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Melaka.”

β€œNice place to visit if you are technical person and with kids. There are many to see while most things remain difficult to understand, it's a submarine so what do you expect? The normal people won't have chance to visit as if they not working in this line. A lot of displays for metering, junction boxes, wiring's here and there. The submarines have few portions like bedding room, machine room, kitchen, meeting room. Entrance ticket is RM10/adults, kids below 6 is free. There are 2 fire jets that you can take pictures with. The submarine is about 3 stories high access with stairs. It's really huge see from the outside but inside looks small. Very hot outside without shade, inside is cool with air-conditioned.”

β€œA very short visit as there are a submarine and two fighter jets. The submarine looks very huge from the outside but it’s narrow inside. You can enter inside it to look around but don’t go during the weekend because it’s very crowded. The ticket costs RM10 per adult and cashless. The parking is limited especially during the weekend. The outdoor is very hot and no shade so make sure to wear a hat or a cap or bring an umbrella.”
