Masjid Agung Jawa Tengah (MAJT)

Mentioned on 
18 lists 
Mosque
Sights & Landmarks
Masjid Agung Jawa Tengah (MAJT) is a sprawling modern mosque complex in Semarang, Indonesia. The architecture is a mix of styles and features a rotating restaurant with stunning views. The atmosphere resembles that of Masjid Nabawi in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, with its automatic opening and closing umbrellas on the courtyard. While not an exact replica, it offers a similar ambiance for visitors to experience.
Masjid Agung Jawa Tengah is truly magnificent! The architecture is a beautiful blend of modern and Islamic styles, with tall minarets and a spacious courtyard. The view from the tower is breathtaking, especially at sunset. It’s not only a place of worship but also a cultural landmark where visitors can learn about Islamic heritage in Indonesia. Very clean, peaceful, and well maintained a must-visit when in Semarang.
Faizal S — Google review
The mosque's grand design, with its iconic minaret and vast prayer hall, offers a sense of tranquility and awe to visitors. Its beautifully landscaped gardens and impressive fountains add to the serene atmosphere, making it a peaceful retreat for reflection and prayer. The panoramic views from the minaret allow visitors to appreciate the beauty of the surrounding city and landscape.

This mosque has long been on my wishlist to visit. During my long long previous pilgrimages to the Wali of Central Java ago, I passed by it several times and only admired it from afar. Alhamdulillah, this time I was destined to pray here and feel its grandeur. It’s hard to put into words, but old buildings always seem to hold their own stories for those who visit. This mosque is one of them. It whispers wisdom that has endured through time.
Tutut W — Google review
Wonderful mosque architecture in the capital city of Central Java, Semarang. Finally got the chance to visit and perform subuh pray before going to Solo. Many jamaah visited the mosque even before Subuh Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the toilet and wudhu spot should be improved a lot. It was really uncomfortable see rubbish everywhere. The floor was slippery so it can be dangerous for people to walk here to have wudhu There was no cleaning officer there, plus the visitor has no awareness to keep the place clean It was very disappointing
Sari R — Google review
The mosque is breathtaking. The architecture is also beautiful. It has its own style. Also this mosque is HUGE! When you come here I advise you to go to the information centre first. I went here to pray by myself and got lost (but the view is great anyway so it's fine). But it is very hot if you come here to enjoy the view in the middle of the day.
Dheanda S — Google review
A visit to Masjid Agung Jawa Tengah on 7/Mar/2020. The most unforgettable features of this mosque to me are its outdoor arch and the purple color used, maybe the number of mosque I have seen is not large, I guess purple color is rarely used. After I arrived at the mosque for a while, I heard Adzan from the minaret, it was resonant, I was deeply attracted to stay there to listen to. I even record the voice, when google map supports to upload a video, I will update. There are 4 pillars looking like umbrellas, the function of them are used as shelters for prayers in rainy days. The inner side of the mosque is luxuriant, visitors (prayers and non-prayers) are free to come in, I lingered in the mosque for more than 1 hour.
Stephanie Z — Google review
The umbrellas were closed even though the day was super bright - cost saving, understood. But the toilet and the place for taking ablution was lacking of fresh air and was wet wet wet.. inside the mosque, as most of mosques I have ever been to in this country, children were running here and there, women talk-siding loudly sometimes giggling, and of course some were taking nap..
Nayu R — Google review
This mosque have an old giant or big Qur'an in hall of mosque, the architecture like Medina mosque but in little version and astonishing mosque complex, in this front of mosque plaza they have very big Bedhug and they have tourist attraction in top of mosque tower we can see semarang city around here, in parking lot area they have many food stalls selling many original hand gifts from semarang city, i take a photo shot this mosque in rainy day, editing it, and voila this photo very amazing.

Gedong Songo Temple

Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
Mountainside complex featuring 9 Hindu temples, hiking trails, hot springs & scenic views.
Candi Gedong Songo is an absolute treasure! Nestled on the slopes of Mount Ungaran, this site offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. The ancient Hindu temples are incredibly well-preserved and provide a fascinating glimpse into Indonesia's rich heritage. The scenic views are breathtaking, with lush greenery and serene surroundings that make you feel like you've stepped into another world. The hike between the temples is enjoyable and adds a sense of adventure to the visit. The trails are well-maintained, and the fresh mountain air is invigorating. While the roads to the site can be a bit steep, the journey is definitely worth it. The facilities are basic but sufficient, with parking available and small stalls offering snacks and drinks. I’d recommend bringing some water and snacks for a more comfortable experience. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or just looking for a peaceful escape, Candi Gedong Songo is a must-visit. Highly recommended for anyone traveling to Central Java!

The perfect place to walk/hiking to ancient historical building at mountain high. Stretching for 4 km tracking exercises fit for your health monitoring smartwatch. If youre weak enough, you could rent a horse 🐎 too. 😀👍🏻
Arno F — Google review
This cultural and natural place has been developed well now. The parking areas are separated for motorcycles and cars or buses. The ticket price is relatively cheap. There's also ticket for foreign visitors with different price, of course. Beside temples to see, this place provides some shops selling food and drink that you can bring on your trip to the temple. If you don't like to walk, you might consider to rent a horse to walk you to the temple. Select the horse-riding packages you want. Other facilities you can find here are toilets, canteen, souvenirs shop, theatre, etc. Want to go camping or do outbound activities? Just contact the officer for the reservation.
Dessy S — Google review
Very nice and beautyful temple! You need around 2 hours to walk around, so dont fall for the locals who want to talk you into horse riding. The air is fresh up there and the views are stunning
Steven S — Google review
Gedong Songo temple is one of the tourist destinations and local heritage. When I was visited here, there’s still under construction of parking space. Before, we can park directly in front of the gate of the temple and right now in a bit spacious land in the residential area around. For the access to the every temple is still the same, but the ticket price always increase and should be getting improved if the ticket price higher (maybe for adding more toilets, cleanliness of the temple area, etc) The view is so beautiful and great for take some pics here.
Michael J — Google review
A Serene Escape to Gedong Songo Temple Nestled high on the slopes of Mount Ungaran, Gedong Songo Temple (literally "Nine Buildings") in Semarang offers a truly captivating experience for history buffs and nature lovers alike. This collection of nine Hindu temples, dating back to the 8th and 9th centuries, provides not only a fascinating glimpse into ancient Mataram Kingdom architecture but also breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Upon reaching the temple complex, you'll discover individual temples scattered across the landscape. Each "gedong" has its own distinct character, though some are more well-preserved than others. The air up here is refreshingly cool, a welcome respite from the tropical heat of the lowlands. The serene atmosphere, combined with the historical significance of the site, makes for a truly reflective and peaceful visit. Beyond the temples, Gedong Songo also boasts natural hot springs, perfect for soaking tired muscles after exploring. There are also various stalls selling local snacks and souvenirs, allowing you to refuel and grab a memento of your trip. Tips for your visit: * Wear comfortable shoes: You'll be doing a fair amount of walking, especially if you decide to hike. * Bring layers: The temperature can vary significantly between the base and the top of the mountain. * Consider renting a horse: It's a fun and convenient way to get around the sprawling complex. * Go on a clear day: The views are truly spectacular when there's no fog. Gedong Songo is more than just a historical site; it's an immersive experience that combines cultural exploration with natural beauty. It's an absolute must-visit if you're in the Semarang area and are looking for a unique and memorable outing.

Lawang Sewu

Mentioned on

Sights & Landmarks
Historical landmark
Lawang Sewu, located in the Tugumuda complex, was once a magnificent art deco building used as the headquarters of the Dutch East Indies Railway Company. Designed by Dutch architects Prof. Jacob F. Klinkhamer and B.J Queendag, it was built in 1903 and officially opened on July 1, 1907.
The Ticket price starts from 10K for Kids, 20K for Adults and 30K for Foreign Tourist. Was previously functioned for Dutch government back to colonial time. I recommend to visit the basement in order to feel the true horror experience of this place. And yeah for the basement there is additional charge.
Fabs! — Google review
Lawang sewu just like before i visited. Great colonial building and history to tell. But unfortunetly, this time, when i go to the dungeon, the guide didn't not tell us about the history. More like to tell us about the structure of the building and more. And just to add some advice, if visitor buy the advance ticket like me, please provide the personal tour guide immediately, so we do have to look for the tour guide place on our own
Nadya A — Google review
This place is majestic. When visiting this place I would strongly suggest you to use a guide provided there, it’s not free service (for a family of four you will have to pay at least IDR100,000) but it’s really worth it. The guide will not only tell you the history about this place but they are good photographer as well, they will tell you the best location to take picture and will take a nice picture for you.
Indra P — Google review
Really place to learn some of local history. The flow of the museum needs to be better sih. So people like me, when decided to go there without any guide still can do a proper tour. Maybe a guide letter / sign can help. Sssstt they got a hidden basement tour (some said it haunted!)
Faiz A — Google review
When learning about the Old Semarang, Lawang Sewu is one of the historical place to understand the history of how the Indonesian Train company was initially founded. From getting off the train at Stasiun Semarang Tawan, visiting the Old Town, then learning about the architecture of the initial Train Company HQ at Lawang Sewu and then closing it with the old St. Ambarawa Museum is a must.
Winaya D — Google review
A great place to know a little bit more about the Indonesian history with the Dutch. I love that there's something for everyone: adults, small children and older people. I got to do the immersive one - price a tad more expensive than the other entrance fee but worth it to have someone talk to you about the history behind Lawang Sewu. Prices probably will change so I'd refer you to their website. The immersive experience in Building B has AC so a good break from the heat and humidity. There are souvenir shops, photo booths, caricature making if you want the traditional route of having your photo taken, owls that perform tricks, of course eateries and lots of museum like information inside the buildings. Depending on what type of tourist you are - there's something for everyone. Just a little warning, they won't let you bring drinks inside so better to put them inside your bag and drink it after going in or buy from the vendors inside. For the elderly, they also have wheelchairs. Just leave your ID when borrowing one. Outside the gates, local vendors sell toys and other souvenirs too

Wisata Sam Poo Kong

Mentioned on 
+47 other lists 
Buddhist temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sam Poo Kong Temple, also known as Gedung Batu, is a historical temple complex in Semarang, Central Java. It features traditional Chinese and Javanese architectural elements and has strong cultural and historical significance. The temple's origins are associated with Admiral Zheng He (Cheng Ho), a 15th-century Chinese Muslim explorer. Its majestic presence and blend of architectural styles make it a captivating attraction for visitors interested in Indonesia's colonial and wartime history.
Honestly, this is a place of worship, I came here for tourism, with a beauty that is very thick with Chinese culture and history, maybe it would be a little better if there were more plants so that not too hot and scorching. The guards are very friendly, the price of food and drinks is very affordable. Would be happy to be able to go to this place again

Sam Poo Kong is a breathtaking blend of Chinese and Javanese architecture, rich in history and culture. This ancient temple complex, built in the 15th century, honors Admiral Zheng He's stopover in Semarang and showcases stunning red and gold decorations. Visitors can explore four temples, watch cultural performances like lion dances, and even rent traditional Chinese costumes for memorable photos. With its serene atmosphere and delicious food stalls, Sam Poo Kong is a must-visit destination in Semarang. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history, culture, and spirituality.
Josephira — Google review
Sam Poo Kong Temple in Semarang is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, blending history, culture, and spirituality in a single destination. The temple complex is beautifully designed with striking red architecture, intricate details, and a serene atmosphere that reflects its Chinese heritage. It’s not only a place of worship but also a cultural symbol that attracts both locals and tourists. Walking through the grounds, visitors can explore several shrines, statues, and pavilions, each with its own story and significance. The temple is closely tied to the legend of Admiral Cheng Ho, adding a layer of historical depth to the visit. The space feels both majestic and peaceful, making it an excellent spot for those interested in culture, history, or simply seeking a quiet moment. Overall, Sam Poo Kong offers more than just sightseeing—it provides an experience of connection with Semarang’s multicultural past. Whether you come for the architecture, the history, or the spiritual aspect, it’s a must-visit destination that leaves a lasting impression.

It is a great place to stay, think, and view cultural heritage of multicultural Semarang. The temple is truly huge, the smell of scent present everywhere, and as for Indonesia this place is clean and pleasant. I wish I had more time to sit down and clean my thoughts or even meditate but I only had two hours free during my business trip. Enjoyable and wonderful place.

They have different types of tickets, the more expensive ones as they said, could visit all the places. However, you are still prohibited to enter their “holy” rooms because they don’t categorize you as “PRAYERS”, meaning if you don’t pay extra for offering incense. So hilarious, because they actually have no idea whom they are praying and why they are praying for him. 你们知道郑和真的是谁吗?? 无知的可笑。

Telaga Warna

Mentioned on

Lake
Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
Telaga Warna, also known as Color Lake, is a stunning natural wonder surrounded by highland forests and terraces. The lake's vibrant hues, ranging from turquoise to cobalt blue, are a result of its high sulfur content. A concrete trail encircles both Telaga Warna and the neighboring Telaga Pengilon, offering opportunities for hiking and picnicking in secluded spots along the lakeside.
The colors of this lake are very beautiful, a fascinating natural phenomenon! Its extraordinary scenery makes every photo spot look great, and there's also a flying fox game above the lake that challenges tourists!

-2018- Tempatnya menarik sekali. kalau dari bawah memang tidak bisa benar-benar terlihat telaganya ada berapa warna, tapi kalau naik ke atas lagi baru terlihat perbedaan warnanya. Tempatnya luas banget dan rimbun, nyaman banget di sini. Walaupun siang tidak terlalu terasa panas. -2022- Good place to gdo, spending time to find peace (especially around low season). The area is wrapped around hills and mountains, giving ultimate chill situation. The lake is looking great as how it used to be, they are providing a lot photo spots nowadays, so you can go and enjoy taking pictures here. There's a lot of resting and hangout area, unfortunately when I come here they are in the middle of low season and currently in fasting month, so not all the hangout place are open. The caves that are located within the lake giving me ultimate peace (since no one are visiting), I can hear the sound of nature, it's cold and so calm. I walk around 5 minutes from Batu Tulis, take a leap and back to Batu tulis again. Over all this place is giving you chance to reconnect to nature very well (especially during non-holiday season)!

It is situated in the Dieng hills. While going here from Yogyakarta, you will be passing on the hilly roads having coffee plantations or farms on either side. The main attraction here is the lake which show different colors, hence the name 'Telaga Warna' which translates to 'Color Lake' in English. It was raining when we visited here, so we could not see any different colors really. You should be here on a sunny day to see those. Overall a decent place to visit and the lush greenery makes it more beautiful.

My expectation about this place is kinda too much maybe, it's definitely a good place but i think the people that responsible for organizing, controlling this place isn't doing theirs.

Sikidang Crater

Mentioned on

Nature & Parks

Sikidang Crater is a must-see attraction in Dieng, Central Java. This large volcano is still active and features a crater emitting natural sulfuric gas, creating an otherworldly landscape of barren land and boiling geysers. Visitors can explore the area using a long wooden bridge that provides stunning views of the volcanic formations and steam rising from the ground. The valley's yellow-green hue from sulfur adds to its surreal beauty.
Cool spot, very busy and not great parking. The pools were cool to see and the street food was pretty decent, you have to walk through the market and we discovered a coconut desert which was 5star.
Jordy S — Google review
Last time i went here is much much fun. Now more convinience just because of the walking path. However,now its limited access to the crater. Before we can take picture around the crater where there are some aesthetic dead trees. Now,there are some people (not sure they are legal persons or not) stand on the access and only allow people who pay for photo to go in. I personally feel its ridicilous. If its restricted due to the safety reasons and why its open for commercial photo.Too bad

Great place , strong smell, but the way out feels like tourist trap . Like u have to go through around and round about 10times then u will find the exit.. all the way they is shops selling souvenirs & foods and the route is small.. it’s really feels like trap before go out.

We came here after visiting Sikunir and the surrounding areas. We bought the tickets for Arjuna Temple, and we used the same ticket, Rp 30K per person, to come here as well. It’s easy to find a place because there is a big sign. Parking lot is big as well, and there are toilets, mushola, and souvenir shops around the area. The ticket is different for local and foreigners. You can see the boiling sulfuric water in the craters. The aroma is of course very distinct, like rotten eggs. After a while you will get used to it or you can also use the mask. Some people sell the masks on the entrance point. Please pay attention to the rules and the do’s and the don’ts while visiting this area. Don’t stay too long and mind the parameters. ♿️ for accessibility features: There are ramps and platforms around the area to see the craters. Somehow, the first ramp heading to the main crater is a bit tricky and not too friendly for wheelchair users, although the next wooden platform is mostly flat.
Indah S — Google review
Very unique location. Having never visited an active crater before this was an awesome experience. Smell of sulphur can be overpowering, should have grabbed some sort of a face mask. There is a tourist attraction of buying eggs boiled in the crater (Rp5.000/egg). Definitely worth visiting.
Jack R — Google review
The crater itself is amazing and the wooden decks around the crater makes it easy to explore for visitors. My main issue is with the exit. To exit the crater area, we were directed to walk through a local market, with which I am totally fine (many tourist places around the world do the same thing). The problem though is how the roads through the market are unmaintained despite the place charging us entrance fees. Some of the walkways are just soil, some parts have paving blocks, some parts have sacks as foundations. The uneven surface also creates some water-catching potholes. Even the local sellers have to use buckets to catch rainwater falling from their own tents. Other problems include tiles on the center area that seem to not be glued onto anything as foundation. During the rain, water will seep up when you step on the tiles. Another problem is with parking attendants who just charge you random fees as they like despite you paying for an IDR30k entrance fee. The management/local dinas pariwisata/pemerintah desa/kabupaten really need to be serious and step up their game if they want to be on par with other destinations or even to just be considered by international visitors.

Dieng Plateau

Mentioned on

Nature & Parks
Attraction
Geologic Formations
Dieng Plateau, a volcanic complex in Central Java, is known for its ancient Hindu temples and cultural heritage sites. The area is home to beautiful Hindu and Javanese temples, including remnants from the Kalinga Kingdom. Visitors can explore the scenic landscape, trek through active volcanic craters, and hike Mount Prau for panoramic views of the plateau and surrounding mountains.
Dieng Plateau is not the easiest place to reach and it’s full of local tourists. You have to pay for almost everything—each attraction, each parking spot—and foreigners are charged five times more than locals. Construction is happening everywhere. That said, the air is fresh and the nights are cooler than anywhere else in Java. People are friendly, and despite the downsides, it's worth a visit. I didn’t see any other foreigners, and I kind of understand why. I definitely recommend it.

Mysterious plate to visit. We drove from Wonosobo to the Dieng Plateau. Road is very scenic, nice view to the several mountains. We were lucky that it was clear. Recommend to drive in the morning, the bigger chance it is clear. On the plateau we visited the temples, the crater and hiked through the fields.

Stayed overnight at Dieng Plateau before hiking Gunung Prau, and it was unforgettable! The views are breathtaking, with stunning landscapes all around. The cold weather added to the charm, making it a perfect spot to soak in the serene vibe. Highly recommend visiting for a refreshing escape and incredible scenery!

Visited this museum during Idul Fitri holiday. Not a queue at all so once the tickets are settled, we could directly start the tour of the exhibition rooms. Room one gave information on 3 main types of batik; Rifaiyah, Jelamprang and Besurek. Room two mainly displays major patterns like sido and nitik. Room three has a more fusion pattern like a combination of kawung and a painting of koi fishes. The last room is the most exciting of all; we can have a little hands-on experience on making batik, either tulis or cap. What a fruitful visit we had! Do not worry if you get thirsty or hungry, the museum has a little shop that sells snacks and beverages.

Highly recommend if you like batik. Entry was only Rp20000 for a foreigner. This included a tour guide and your chance to do your own batik piece, either with a stamp or tulis (writing).

You must have a good local tourist guide alongside with you when you look at the batik collection in this museum, laid out in three rooms and sections. Or else all the numerous motifs, deep symbolism, colours and laborious creation process would likely be lost on you. A good guide would be able to point out motifs, colours and techniques on the tip of their fingertips. Most of the wall text are in Bahasa Indonesia. The museum shop is excellent as it retails in one location ready-to-wear and textiles from numerous traditional batik studios located in Pekalongan. Allocate time to browse if you are a serious batik shopper!

It's a nice educational museum, where we can learn about various traditional batiks in Indonesia. The ticket price is cheap. There are not many exhibition rooms, but they're placed neatly. It only needs to provide a guide to visitors from outside the town.

It's really2 a very interesting experience, exciting and fun. If you visit Pekalongan, this place is one that must be visited. In this place, we can get to know more about the history of batik, batik motifs, to learn to make batik using "canting" and "cap". Really fun.

My favorite Batik Museum. The visit was taken in 2020. The museum is located in the center of Pekalongan, so very easy to go there. The number of batik on exhibition is large, with brief introduction, it would be better if English version introduction could be provided.☺️ Personally I prefer Pekalongan style batik, the colorful floral pattern is an ideal symbol of the tropics, where I love most. The tour guide will explain the features of batik to visitors if visitors wish, the whole duration is free of charge. Thanks the kind tour guide lady, because I have been keen to know more about Indonesians’ batik, her assistance was of great help.☺️🙏 Visitors may choose to make a batik by stamping the wax on a piece of white cotton cloth, to experience the procedures of creating a piece of batik. It is a really wonderful experience, and hope to go to the museum again in the near future.

Purwokerto Station

Train station
Nice and a memorable station. The station is quite large, the facilities are quite complete. Access is easy, because many kinds of transportation available such as taxis, motorcycles. In addition, many inns/ losmen around the station. Unfortunately, for tourists who only want to transit at this station, until now the station has not provided luggage storage services
Ullifna T — Google review
The Purwokerto station is conveniently located in the middle of the city. It is easy to reach by car and there is ample parking. The drop-off area is very well organized and there are many porters ready to assist. The station building is very well organized and it is very clean. There are automated ticket machines which can print your tickets, and also manual ticket offices if needed. You can wait in the ticket office area, or in the waiting hall, located after the validation of the tickets. Also the waiting hall is very clean, and so are the toilets. You can also wait outside, and watch the trains come and go. The announcements for your train are only made in Bahasa, but there are also monitors with all information needed. We traveled first class and it is worth noting that the trains between Jakarta and Yogjakarta aren’t turned around. So if you are in the train car next to the locomotive traveling from Jakarta to Yogjakarta, the same train car will be at the end of the train in the opposite direction. The staff at the station are very friendly and helpful.

after I checked in, I can not find any charging point in the waiting room. Not as the other train station where I can find charging point everywhere. the waiting room itself quite tiny, not that spacious. literally on the circulation area. I wish after the expansion and renovation, it will be more better.

Almost the same with another train station in Indonesia. This station built since 18 centuries, and managed-operated by PT Kereta Api (Persero) which is one of the State-Owned Enterprise in Indonesia. There is good ambience here, and I think this is one of the most important train station in Middle Java. As a recommendation, there must be a significant change for their toilet at main hall (public). Its position is quite far from main hall and there is no proper access, especially for people with disabilities.

The station is so big. They have AC waiting room and charger area. The toilet super clean so don't worry 😉. All of officers very kind and helpful but the minus is the place for antigen is so far though. Im tired lmao but despite of that, the services of this station is amazing. Keep it up 👍🏻

Nice staff, really helpful. It was very small back then, and government renovated it. And it turns out be a nice clean large ac-friendly train station nowadays. It only took 5 hours from jakarta if you use executive train such as taksaka train. At waiting room, there is a playground area for kids even its kinda small though.

Arya K — Google review
Nice place to see sunset from Tegal, Indonesia. Nice dark sand beach with a pedestrian along the beach. Don't go here alone, just go with your family or friends or your love one. It's a relaxing beach where you can enjoy this beach by swimming, playing sand, just walking along the beach, but not suitable for sun bathing and surfing. When it's come to weekend this beach will be very crowded. One thing i really don't like with this beach is many people littering because there are few bins provided. The manager must immediately take action on this garbage problem, because it makes the beach not beautiful to look at and seems untidy. What is even more dangerous is when the garbage starts to be carried by the waves and ends at sea. This will pollute the sea.

Keraton Kasepuhan

Mentioned on 
21 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Keraton Kasepuhan, a grand palace built in 1447, is the residence of the Sultan of Kasepuhan and serves as a museum open to the public. It is one of four palaces in Cirebon, alongside Keraton Kacirebonan, Keraton Kanoman, and Keraton Keprabon. This 16th-century wonder is among the oldest and largest palaces in Cirebon with intricately designed throne rooms.
A large palace with several different smaller clusters of buildings. They have various ticket offerings from 2, 3, 4, and 5 sites at different pricing. We purchased the entire 5 sites, got to see the palace, museum, AI show, and sacred wells.
Carlitos — Google review
Keraton Kasepuhan seems to be the better choice out of the two palaces in Cirebon because it's larger and older of the two. I chose the ticket with the access to all the areas which is 30k/person (domestic). Car parking is 10k. The entrance area needs to be cleaned, there's a lot of trash around and the ticket reader is out of service. The museum houses some artifacts, sadly it needs upkeep like painting the walls, fixing lights in exhibitions, and cleaning. The AI Lotus museum is not recommended, it's just a 15 minute AI video about the fight against the Dutch, and plays more like an action movie rather than a historic one. Going deeper, the back area is very poorly maintained. The restaurant has been abandoned for some time and the pools/lake are not maintained and used for fishing by the locals. I did not get a guide, and it seems it would have been a much better experience with one, so I highly recommend getting a guide. This place definitely has massive potential, and if it's fixed could be an instant recommendation if you're in Cirebon, and even an international level tourist destination. However as of now it's okay, not too bad not too good.

The museum zone and AI movie were really nice to see. It was cool to know about the history between the colonisers and Indonesian ***As a foreigner who doesn’t speak Bahasa, I felt a bit odd walking inside. Some people tried to talk to me and follow me (not in a friendly way) Maybe they were guides, but I wasn’t sure When I walked through the gate to get a ticket, a man (knew later, a guide) started walking with me, offering to volunteer as a guide, even though I didn’t ask for it. TBH, having a guide could be good here because there wasn't a lot information in English but I felt more like harassment
Akira K — Google review
Well, it's a palace. I bought the Rp25.000 ticket, so I got to visit not only the palace but also the museums inside as well. Not much that you can do except strolling around aimlessly. Once we entered the museum, a guy came to us explaining things and gave us no space to say no. Even though eventually we used the service (later on we realized that he is a tour guide), it felt like an ambush. The funniest thing is the AI museum, which is basically a standing theatre where they play an AI-generated movie. The movie (obviously) looked so off because the generated images were not the best.
Rizqie A — Google review
Cool palace with an excellent museum. The main thing to see in Cirebon. The grounds are mildly interesting, mostly for the Majapahit-style gates and ruins dating to the 15th cent (later palace sections are unremarkable). The museum is amazing, a treasure trove of 15-16th century asian artifacts. Foreigner prices as of August 2025: site entry 20k, museum 15k, AI exhibit 15k, old palace ruins (Dalem Agung Pakungwati) 15k. There's 2 other smaller keraton in Cirebon whose grounds are free (but lack the 15-16th cent structures). Note that I got a lot of harassment/unwanted attention while touring as a white person, including a group of children constantly following me and trying to talk and touch me. Just be aware.

Irma B — Google review
Overall, there were no artifacts from the 14th century and exhibits from civilization that were very old. This might have been a newly planned village at the time. There were crowns, documents, kilns, and carriages on display inside the museum. And it seems like a tribal city where there was not much exchange, given that there were more knives and spears than guns.

Sunyaragi Cave Park

Mentioned on 
7 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Sunyaragi Cave Park in Cirebon, Indonesia is a captivating historic site that was once a meditation spot for the sultans. This unique cave stands out with its remarkable architecture and tranquil ambiance, attracting visitors seeking natural beauty and man-made marvels. Just 3 kilometers from the city center, Sunyaragi Cave offers a blend of stunning stone formations and water features that create an atmosphere perfect for rest and reflection.
We stumbled upon this place on a tranquil weekday morning—just a few fellow adventurers, both locals and foreigners, sharing the space. As noon approached, the excitement in the air began to build as more people arrived, eager to explore. We discovered that these enchanting, handcrafted caves were once sacred sites for meditation, steeped in history and mystery! It was thrilling to imagine the countless souls who sought solace within these walls ages ago!

It's a really good place to see this ancient building that was designed like a cave? Or maybe it's a cave and constructed like a building or a place to stay? Not really sure, they should've provided some stories about the place.
Putri S — Google review
People online said this is one of the must visit attractions / site in Cirebon, but i beg to differ. Upon entry the place felt dirty, unattended, and mismanaged. For background the place was built as a meditation place for the Cirebon Sultanate. The weird architecture using reef bonded together is definitely something unique, but the novelty of the plus point ends here. Everything feels dirty and the place fell apart everywhere. I must then resort to reading things online for context. No signage guiding tourists, no storytelling, stone path leading to dirt, pond becomes a local fishing pond. Even the commercial section on the exit for SME looked sad and vandalised. The government is stupid for discarding a place with such historical value. We left after exploring the place for 20 minutes. The parking lot was empty when we left.

Goa Sunyaragi Cirebon or Sunyaragi Cave is one of the historical sites that located on Cirebon, not far from the city center. The enterance ticket is only IDR 15k/adult person. I order ride from gojek ride to get there and the tariff is bellow 15k from my hotel (hotel Asri Cirebon) and it took only about 15 minutes to arrived. The sites is very large and it took me about 1 and half hour to finished sightseeing and photographed a whole place. I also took some rest sometimes if I feel tired of walking (I just sat on the stairs anywhere the sites). The sites was built on the 18th century based on the information I found online. Surprisingly it still looks in a good condition even though it was built a long time ago! If you have an acrophobia/fear of height, or you have imbalance issues, I suggest you to ask for guidance or guide to accompany you. Because if you want to explore a whole place, you need to walk across the narrow footpath (only one person can walk there) and next to it, on your right and left it has around 1/2 meter/50 cm a cubic shape hole. I think it used to be filled with water (like a small pond) or filled during the rainy season, but since it's just holes when I visit there you might find it a little bit scary to cross some passages. The surrounding area also full of irregular and rough and almost all of it has a sharp texture, so you can't use it as a grip. The weather when I visited there is scroching hot! I suggest you to bring some water to prevent dehydration. Don't forget your sunblock either! If you have a low heat resistance, you better bring a parasol/umbrella and wear an easy to dry kind of clothes. You can enter the cave, but not all the path is all conected, most paths are just short and dead-end. The sites has a U shaped path, so from the enterance to the exit gate, you just take a U shaped detour. The enterance and exit gate are side to side. By the enterance/exit gate you can find some street vendors selling some beverages and traditional chips/snacks. There is a big mosque/place for praying. Not far from there, there is a building from ministry of tourism and creative economy. Even though the building is already closed, in front of it has a notice/bulletin board. You can find several information regarding Cirebon culture, such as a traditional food, traditional dance and guide for the tourism place and they also give a translation for the international tourist. Near the building, It has a an open wide concrete field and nearby, there is Indonesia traditional gazebo/bale-bale. I saw a child who is practicing the Cirebonese mask dance. It's so beautiful! But,since I don't want to interupt the practice, so I just watch it from a far and didn't want to take any picture/video without their concern. Because dance duration is quite long, I also didn't have any chance to ask the dancing teacher, who apparently has a souvenir store or selling some wooden masks as a souvenirs. In general, I found the Sunyaragi Cave sites is worth to visit if go to Cirebon and you like historical place or object!

Sunyaragi Cave Park, also known as Goa Sunyaragi, is a fascinating historical site located near the city centre of Cirebon. This cultural landmark offers visitors a glimpse into the region's rich history while showcasing its unique architectural charm. The entrance ticket is affordable at just IDR 15,000 per adult, making it an accessible destination for all. While you can explore the caves, it’s worth noting that not all pathways are connected—many lead to short, dead-end routes. This layout adds intrigue and encourages exploration. What sets Sunyaragi Cave apart is its striking appearance, as most of the structure is covered in coral reefs. This gives the site an otherworldly vibe, making it a must-see for anyone interested in history or unique architecture. The preservation efforts seem commendable, ensuring its authenticity remains intact. Hiring a guide is highly recommended for a more enriching experience. They can provide valuable insights into the history and significance of the site, enhancing your visit and helping you appreciate the cultural context. Sunyaragi Cave Park is a unique and affordable historical site offering cultural education and visual wonder. Its coral-covered architecture and preserved layout make it a standout destination in Cirebon. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply looking for a unique outing, this site is worth a visit. Don’t forget to hire a guide to make the most of your trip!

Trans Studio Bandung is an indoor theme park located within the Trans Studio Bandung Mall, making it a popular entertainment destination for families visiting the city. Divided into three zones - Magic Corner, Lost City, and Studio Central - the park offers a wide range of thrilling rides and attractions suitable for both children and adults. With over 20 different games to enjoy, including electric and water-based activities, kids can immerse themselves in a world of fun.
Our thought was that spending 2 to 3 hrs there (on a weekend) should be enough for us but its not! Need to spend the whole day 🤣. Might need to reconsider buying the VIP Ticket, as the normal queue took longer up to an hour to take the ride. After a fun play at Trans Studio, can walk to Trans Studio Mall for late lunch or dinner perhaps.

I believe the services of this hotel getting worse. The operator said each room can request max 4 mineral waters more for ach day. The breakfast also nothings special especially for taste of food. Even ibis grand central breakfast i can claim more fantastic and good compared to trans studio luxury hotel. Also request for late check out 13.00 declined. The good things: quick checkin process, best swimming pool with white sand.

Went here for an office event. First we had team-building activities in one of their halls, then we got a fast pass for free rides. Place was clean and air conditioning was cool. Disclaimer: the place was rented by the office, therefore it might not be in full capacity. I tried some of their rides and they were decent, but nothing special. The roller coaster was closed due to bad weather. Their Dunia Lain (haunted house ride) was not scary at all, therefore it was just a cart moving slowly through some installations that was supposed to be creepy. I think they should provide a backstory or special effects to the ride. If they could not make it scary, they could also try another approach: make it speedy. Additionally, for a place this big, the bathroom was also quite small.

It’s fun! That’s the first expression that can cover all of our experiences here. Almost all rides inside this indoor theme park we tried. The service from the staff also beyond our expectation. So my wife lost her phone in the toilet then we reported it to the staff, they were really fast response to it. Thanks God there was a good person gave the phone to them when s/he found it. Maybe something missing from this place is some stands are closed and like abandoned, such as the reporting news, marvel and the coaster, the rest were amazing! Bravo Trans Studio💪

So actually i will review the mall, not the Trans Studio Theme Park. This mall, probably one of the best mall in Bandung. Unfortunately the location is not too good, in the Gatot Subroto road, which is quite narrow and have a lot of traffic jam. The mall itself is good, the architecture, atmosphere and ambiance is like a very good mall in Jakarta. The tenant is good, the food court and restaurant have a lot of option.

An excellent place for families especially for the young ones. Many rides, shows and beautiful parade as the closing. Many food outlets spread all over and all needed amenities are within reach. Staff are young, energetic and helpful. We have been to many Disneylands and some other parks in the USA, Europe and Asia and this parks is as good as the others. Furthermore, the ticket is very much cheaper.

Jl. Braga is a charming and picturesque street that showcases the Dutch colonial architecture of Indonesia's past. Lined with coffee shops, boutiques, and galleries, this stunning location is a must-see attraction for those interested in history and culture. With its stone path and colonial-style buildings, visitors can easily get lost in the beauty of this place - almost forgetting where they are. Don't forget to bring your camera along to capture the moment as you relax and enjoy all that Jl.

Taman Hutan Raya Ir. H. Djuanda

Nature & Parks
Forestry service
Wooded 590-hectare conservation area & botanical garden with walking trails, caves & waterfalls.
Taman Hutan Raya Ir. H. Djuanda (or Tahura, as most locals call it) is one of those places that holds a soft spot in my heart. I used to go here pretty often, and every time I return, it still feels just as peaceful and grounding. The trails are perfect for casual trekking; not too intense, but still enough to get your body moving and your mind cleared. That said, don’t repeat my usual mistake: wear proper mountain shoes or trekking sandals. Some paths can get really slippery, especially in damp or mossy areas. Regular sneakers or flats just won’t cut it. What I love most about Tahura is the combination of fresh forest air, tall pine trees, and the subtle soundtrack of nature all around. Along the way, you’ll come across historical sites like the Japanese and Dutch caves, and if you walk far enough, some small waterfalls. It’s really up to you whether you want to just stroll or go full-on explore mode. There are also quite a few monkeys around, but don’t worry, they’re much more chill than the ones you might meet in Bali. They’ll mostly keep to themselves unless you’re carrying food in plain sight. One downside: there are very few trash cans scattered around. It’s such a beautiful space, so it’s a bit of a shame. I’d recommend bringing your own bag to collect any trash, just to help keep the area clean.

It’s a great place to take a short break from busy days and enjoy some fresh air. Perfect for a family visit, especially with kids, as they can experience a bit of jungle trekking. The facilities have improved a lot. Now there’s a walking trail, a deer conservation area, and of course, the legendary Goa Belanda to explore.

The park gives you a good forest vibe with lots of high trees and green views. You will not miss the monkees on your way. Unfortunately we had lack of time to reach the Omas waterfall and Tebing Kraton which would take another 4km walk...😅

i thought they open at 8, but i came here at 6.30-7AM and i can get tickets already! spent the morning walking and taking in the scenery. i recommend getting here as early as possible to avoid crowds and before it gets too hot out to walk. we came on a weekday, so a few shops on the walk are closed, but thats okay. on our walk we met a lot of cats that accompanies us, like a tour guide. we didnt walk so far, just enough to see the two caves and the bit with the playground. if you have a lot of stamina, you should walk up to see the waterfalls. its a tad too far for us, but i want to go there if i have the chance to return. please wear comfortable clothes and running shoes since you'll be walking a lot and some paths can be quite wet and muddy depending on the weather. make sure you bring enough water and stick to the path!

A recommended place to chill and enjoy nature at Bandung. If you have an adventurous soul, and new to hiking, this place can be the best option to hike. They offer a lot of hiking point to explore, such as historical cave, deer ranch, and the farthest is Curug Omas while you can sit and enjoy seeing waterfall. You can also find groups of monkeys along the way.

A fantastical forest park, about 8km north from the city center. People usually enter the park from gate 1. The park is very long, the furthest distance from the gate is over 6km. Follwing the path, walking in the forest, it's so great! The attractions include Japanese cave, which is very big, it may hide several thousands of soldiers. The other is Dutchman cave, this one is smaller and acrosses a hill. There are also some waterfalls, but the water is not clean. Anyway, the forest makes people peaceful and happy. BTY, there are some little shops on the way in the park, providing drinks and food. Their food is delicious, and price is reasonable. How to get there? If u r a foreigner tourist staying at Bandung city center without any viehcle, u can take Angkot to Dago firstly. The Angkot stops at the west side of Bandung train station, under a skybridge. The Angkot's front window displays the destination. The price to Dago is Rp6000. Then transfer to a motorbike taxi to the forest park, costing about Rp20k.

A nice place to relax and enjoy the greens, have a walk in the morning and meets the monkeys 🐒 lol There are lots of snack and foods stands, no worries. At the journey you can find caves, waterfall and a deer 🦌 ranch. Come and see them yourself.

1. We arrived quite late at night, but the check-in queue was still long, which took up quite a bit of time. Especially since we were already quite tired after a long journey. 2. After check-in, we decided to have dinner at the restaurant. The restaurant was quite crowded at the time because of a group. What we found lacking was the absence of a separator between the smoking and non-smoking areas, so the smoke was quite disruptive to our meal, especially since we had a toddler with us. As for the food, we admit it was quite delicious, although the serving time was rather long. 3. Our room was in a bungalow, located almost at the very back. However, from 7 PM to 1 AM, there was a stage with loud singing, and it resumed again at 5 AM. It seriously disrupted our rest time.

We stayed at the campsite in a rented tent. That was awesome. Beautiful place, clean, green, spectacular nature surrounds you . The pools are nice, the hottest water I have ever sat in. Rivertubing was nice, not too risky for me, but ok. When we were there, the big slide was not working, minus. Unfortunately due to the big area, a lot of walking or waiting for the shuttle is necessary. I would change the system with activating the entry card. If you want to enter a certain pool, you need to go/ shuttle to the main reception desk to activate your card. That takes everytime at least 30min. Thats weird. Book it on the card as you enter an area, and as you check out, you pay what you used, done. Breakfast was also great. All in all you can have a good time.

I went here with my family and booked the landak camping rooms. Basically, the room was clean and tidy enough. And unique. But i think they need more improvement for the tent because we got the old spring bed that less comfortable for us to rest. Overall, We love the ambiance, the hot spring pool, and the cool breeze there.

(Australian tourist review) Highly recommend going, was really worth it. I really enjoyed my time here. Transport and logistics things that might help other travellers: - Can totally grab to and from the place, when leaving, you might have to wait 10-15 minutes for a grab driver to accept your request, but I was able to leave a-okay - entry ticket cost was 200,000 (I went on weekday) just to get to the crater at the top - you can totally do the walk up to the crater at the top, takes around 30-40 minutes, I found it quite a nice walk, just follow the road. No need to get a car or a motorbike up - once you’re at the top, enjoy the sights. If you’re keen, go to the very far right, and they provide a tour to the back of the crater. This side has unimpeded views, and I honestly thought it was very worth it. It was 50,000 per person, I bumped into some French travellers who also wanted to do it, we all paid 50,000 each. (Will attach photos of the differences) - the hawkers/peddlers are also happy to help you take photos if you ask nicely, recommend confirming with them that there is no charge before you ask however - I really enjoyed the Domas Crater too, I thought it was really nice. I however had to pay 150,000 for a guide to bring me down to Domas crater. I originally thought this was a scam (halfway up as you’re climbing, you’ll be asked if you want to go. You can also go from the top as well). I till now, don’t know if this was a scam or not. When I asked at the tourist information desk at the top crater, she insisted I had to take a guide. However, the path is relatively easy to find, and I trust that one could easily make their way down their themselves - bring some tissues/towel to wipe your feet off after soaking your feet at the Domas crater foot springs - I didn’t buy a mask on the way in, I didn’t feel a need for it. A lot of the hawkers and peddlers at the top of the crater weren’t wearing one either. - at the top crater, there are stores to buy food and water if you forget to buy/bring

Tangkuban Perahu is a must-visit spot in West Java. It’s packed with natural beauty and local legends that make it a unique and iconic destination in Lembang. The entrance fee is different on weekdays and weekends — we paid IDR 40k per person. There’s a big parking area below, and then you’re taken up around 5 km to the crater area. Restaurants, toilets, and prayer facilities are all available too.

I would give this an easy 5 stars if not for the local people and seller trying to force their way to sell and talk with you, for safety reasons and especially with children I cannot recommend this beyond its natural beauty and breath taking view, you may come here at your own risk with friends, solely came here to the photo taking place and didnt go for the hike

Stone Garden Citatah

Mentioned on

Park
Geologic Formations
Nestled in West Java, Stone Garden Citatah is a picturesque tourist spot offering breathtaking views of lush mountains from its rocky hilltop. This popular attraction features a stunning garden of limestone rocks and peaks, just an hour's drive from Bandung city. Once a sea during the glacial era, the area now showcases coral reefs and cliffs. While access can be challenging due to traffic and steep roads, the beauty and fresh air make it worth the visit.
One of the more beautiful geological sites I’ve seen anywhere in the world. That’s saying a lot given that I grew up in the American Southwest. Being in the middle of a tropical island and getting to see fascinating ancient rock formations piercing out from the mountainside was something to behold. It’s a romantic place for a date, also a great place to bring the family. The weather is delightful, the views are stunning, and the hobbit like rock formations are a blast to explore!

It was really a great place. And knowing that the rocks that were formed 30 million years ago, as a base of a lake, then rose to the surface due to explosions really amaze me. In the other hand, care taker can improve the facilities and infrastructure in this place. I had difficulty finding a decent toilet and prayer room. also it was quite bumpy road to locations

I came here when the sun was blazing. Some people suggested that it’s better to visit this place during sunset, but as far as I know, it closes at 6 PM, so you have to hurry on your way down. Unfortunately, some irresponsible visitors left behind tissues and plastic waste. Still, the landscape here is beautiful. Just a heads-up: be careful if you're bringing food, as there are groups of monkeys around

This tourist attraction is quite interesting with beautiful views of natural rocks and forests from above.

Garden Stone Citatah is a must-visit if you love nature without the hassle! The access is super easy—just a short walk from the main road or a quick ojek pangkalan ride. I came all the way from Sukabumi by train (dropped at Cipatat Station) and took the Rajamandala-Padalarang angkot (only Rp 10K–12K/person) straight here. Super budget-friendly! The place is clean, affordable, and perfectly located near Indiana Camp for adrenaline junkies who want extra thrills. The views are unreal—come early for sunrise or stay late for golden-hour sunset; both are Instagram-worthy! You can even camp overnight to soak in the vibes longer. Small note: Tickets are cash-only, so bring some bills. But that’s a tiny trade-off for such a serene spot. Perfect for:
✅ Solo travelers
✅ Couples
✅ Adventure squads Don’t overthink it—just go! 🌄✨

You know this is the hidden gem of bandung barat. It was a beautiful wide view with natural huge stones around you. A little climb is needed but I promise you it’s worth it. relatively cheap, you need to pay only 10k per person and 10k for car parking. The place is quite easy to access but there is no mark yet at the big road so you need to see your maps carefully when it’s getting closer to the location. If you need help to find the best spot or want to know more about the history, there are some friendly guides to help you :)

Located in Padalarang, West Bandung. From the history, it was a sea in glacial era. That's why you'll see many coral reef and cliffs Was there during weekend. Entrance fee is 25K IDR for two persons include motorcycle. Honestly it was beautiful place and have beautiful scenery and fresh air. But the trafic was crowded and the road to access is a bit sheer. But worth to visit. You also can make a tent and camp with your friends. The villagers are so friendly, if you wanna know the history about the place you can take tour guide who also know the best angle to take many good pictures.

Taman Bunga Nusantara offers a vast and well-maintained garden, making it an ideal place for family picnics. The park provides various facilities, including a sightseeing bus that takes visitors around, making it easier to explore the area without getting too tired. The flowers are meticulously arranged based on their region of origin, creating a visually pleasing experience. However, the variety of flowers is somewhat limited, which might not fully meet the expectations of those looking for a more diverse floral display. Initially, I imagined a breathtakingly vast flower field, but the landscape design here feels a bit monotonous. Another thing to consider is its location, which is quite far from the city center. While this adds to the tranquility, it also means extra travel time. In terms of pricing, the entrance fee varies for local and international tourists, with an additional charge for the sightseeing bus. However, considering the facilities and the overall experience, the pricing is quite fair. Overall, it’s a beautiful and serene place to visit, though it may not be as breathtaking as I initially expected. 8.5/10 Would recommend for a relaxing family trip! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently visited this garden and was absolutely blown away. It’s big, spacious, and beautifully maintained—a true oasis of peace and greenery. The paths are wide and easy to walk, the lawns are immaculately clean, and every corner offers something lovely to look at, from blooming flowers to tall, graceful trees. What really impressed me was how well-kept everything is. You can tell a lot of care and attention goes into maintaining the space. It’s perfect for a relaxing walk, a picnic, or just to sit and enjoy the fresh air. Whether you’re a plant lover, a photographer, or just someone who appreciates a calm, tidy outdoor space, this garden is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

In addition to the scenic views, you can also explore a variety of games and attractions in the “Alam Imajinasi” area. However, it's worth noting that many of the games are currently not in the best condition. Hopefully, they’ll be repaired and improved soon.

Superb public garden that should be known more. It's larger and more spacious than Kebun Raya Bogor. Easy reached by public transport. Be wary though, the place strictly opened at 08 AM so no use visit too early. I suggest take the paid shuttle car first inside before you explore the park by foot. If you do so than you can get ideas which specific area you can explore later. The fare is cheap, IDR 30K/ person and even a single customer still get served. It's very nice to have a stroll in cool and fresh mountain air, sometimes it is still foggy even in mid day.

We spent the night camping near by and my wife said we should visit as its only 30 mins away. WOW what a place to visit, so big, so much to see, you need a full day here really, we had a few hours before heading back to Jakarta. The grounds are very well kept, the air so fresh, so many old trees which are amazing, and to my surprise I found by accident where we parked was a Nepenthes house, as this is a variety of plants I grow I was very impressed at the selection, only dissapointing part was the house was closed even though it should have been open, next time hopefully it will be. The whole place is well worth a visit

I visited on weekdays so there's not a lot of person. Just a few middle eastern tourist, young couple, families, and student celebrating their graduation. The thing about this place is there are double ticketing to enter the area. I think the first gate is for the Cianjur Governnent and the other one is for BRIN. It'a kind of weird. The botanical garden area is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. The clear water, endless row of trees, fresh mountain air, and soft green grass. I can't get enough of it. The only downside of this place is the public facility like toilet is not that clean or smell good.

Jungle land adventure theme park is located at Sentul City ($13/IDR195,000). This public theme park is an exhilarating destination, offering a diverse range of attractions for all ages with various types of foods and snacks. From thrilling rides to entertaining shows, the park provides a vibrant and enjoyable experience. The theme including Carousel, 45m-Ferris Wheel, happy swing, haunted house. There were extra-paid facilities such as electric golf cars ($2.6/IDR40,000) and electric car. I visited this park at public holiday in December 26 and not too crowded. The well-maintained grounds and friendly staff contribute to a memorable visit for families and adventure seekers alike.

Come with a managed expectation, a pretty low one. Not the best theme park, but just an okay. You're given a card each, to be used for any transaction inside. Some rides were closed. The ones opened, unsure if they're properly disinfected. The handle bars & seatings were smelly. There were few rides that aren't covered by the entrance fee. Not my best moment, ain't my cup of tea.

Luv it... It's small, but has two version of every ride: for kids and for adults. Though its hot and humid, but they provide enough chairs and trees... The toilet is clean with enough units to go to. And...even during high season, it is not crowded so its very convenient... Oiya, forget about going on the flume rides... Its not worth the wait..

Nice theme park and worth to visit. Love the zee force rides so much! It was scary but super fun, because you will be turned 360 degree for some time and being hanged up for a while. They have food court and shopping area which also beautifully decorated. They also have lots of benches and tree, so whenever you are tired, you can just take rest anywhere. Their haunted house was pretty scary, but worth to try if you dare. Make sure to check their website before going there, because sometime they give discount for the entrance ticket. Other wise, you can get their annual pass which is pretty much cheap if you will go there often. Recommended!

It's basically a mini version of Dufan, has fewer amounts of rides and at least some few food areas to have some rest and eat. In this place, it uses a card for to buy something or to gain access to one of the rides. You can top up the cards at the food court areas. Sadly though, you can only refund the remaining balance on the card starting from 1 PM. Overall, pretty okay place, though needs to be a bit more amusing.

The mall is nice and big. Many outlets and complete. There are outdoor and indoor dining places too. It's just that during the day the outdoor place is quite hot. The car park is very spacious and the access road is also not narrow. Recommended mall in bekasi.

It was my first time visiting SMB, and the ambiance was great. However, this place charges a parking fee even if the driver only drops you off at the lobby. I spoke with an online car driver who was worried about asking passengers for extra cash, because picking up or dropping off at the lobby even for less than five minutes still incurs a parking fee. I was a bit taken aback, since in Jakarta drivers who pick up or drop off passengers at the lobby usually aren’t charged for parking.

Kuntum Farmfield dan Nurseries

Mentioned on

Sights & Landmarks
Children's farm
Farms
Kuntum Farmfield offers a recreational farm experience where visitors can interact with various animals such as cows, sheep, rabbits and hamsters, while also enjoying horse rides and plants for sale. It is an ideal place to introduce children to nature and teach them how to care for animals. Despite the relatively high ticket price, Kuntum Farmfield is considered one of the most affordable options for such a large venue. To avoid traffic on weekends, it's recommended to arrive early.
Went here on weekdays before school holiday and the place is calm and quiet. The animals are kept well. Toilets are clean. Good experience and first impression.

Went here for the third time, and I'd be back again for sure. It was empty with no queue in the morning at 8am. Still felt some cool breeze, getting hot around 9am onwards, i recommend wearing a hat and sunglasses. The kid had a fun time feeding animals (got some of the feeds for free, bundled with entry tickets) and riding horses, while the seniors enjoyed harvesting veggies and sweet potatoes.

Very good edu recreational place for kids. To learn animals, raise bravery and empathy. There are goats, sheeps, cows, rabbits, guinea pigs, poultry animals. There’s also riding horse, but you have to avoid rest time (12-1pm). No need to buy ticket in advance, just buy on the spot to get package of animal food. For lunch, there’s sundanese restaurant behind Kopi Nako area which serve delicious food.

Nice place for leaning and have fun with children. The pricing for the overall food and amenities is generous, while the atmosphere feels welcoming. The space is huge, suitable for gathering and educational events.

This place is perfect for kids to get to know and interact directly with animals, especially farm animals. The animals are also very well taken care of. Visitors can feed animals, have direct contact, and learn about different types of animals, providing valuable experiences and learning opportunities for children. However, i think you should improve the directional signs to make it easier for visitors to find their way around. Thanks for the experience!

Went here just to check the location and the possible activities for an event. The staff was kind enough to let us in to check out the location without paying any fee. I arrived around 5 pm, so they’re almost close as well. They have quite a number of animals that you and your kids can interact with. Kids can even get inside the rabbit house to give some food. The location is pretty easy to be found and reached.

This is a place where you can experience a farm close to Jakarta. One food voucher is included in the admission fee. If you want to have more of a feeding experience, you can purchase it for about 5,000 to 10,000 rupiah. Most food can be purchased for 5,000 rupiah. You can purchase well-maintained flower pots on your way out after looking around.

Head Office Taman Safari Indonesia

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Head Office Taman Safari Indonesia is a wildlife park located in Bogor, covering 420 acres and home to 2,500 animals including giraffes, Bengal tigers, orangutans, hippos, zebras, elephants, Komodo dragons and other Indonesian species. The park offers natural-style habitats for wildlife with visitor safaris and animal/trainer shows.
Even if I go here for a lot of the times, but I never get bored. There’s so many things you can do here. Kids really enjoy their time here, there’s a lot of cute animals that we can see closely. Unfortunately, we can’t take a photo with tiger at Baby Zoo during the pandemics 😭

Too bad there are so many games that haven't been opened yet, for the show, the opening hours clash with other shows, so you have to be smart in managing the time so that all the facilities can be enjoyed. even though I came in the morning, but the time to explore all seemed very limited. don't forget to bring an umbrella, jacket or something else to anticipate the rain.

It is a must ho place and you should keep it on bucket list. Apart from enchanting and ethereal beauty you can experience to see a variety of animals and birds. The best way to enjoy it at the fullest is to reach there by 8:30 and enjoy and avail everything that you can. Acc to my recommendation don’t miss cowboy show and the dolphin show. One thing that I really didn’t like was that food was very expansive 😉Other than that it is worth going place.

A zoo in bogor , very nice place to see the wild animal from near. Anyone can go and feed them from car. All the animals are open so it’s prohibited to walking here. The zoo is in very natural environment so it’s a high demand area in Indonesia. All the zoo authorities are very friendly and helpful. About 120 types of animal and many types of birds available here. Road inside of this safari is very good and each animal have their personal area. Open for all.

This is definitely worth a visit as a zoo and theme park and a great day out for the family or just on your own where you get to come up close to animals and feed them driving in your car around the safari area ( remember to buy carrots outside the zoo to feed the animals. ) and once you are finished with this you can take your kids around other animal attractions and shows and also a variety of rides. Definitely recommended. Just remember pack swimmers and a towel if you want to use the water park section.

This place is amazing. Since I live most of the time in Jakarta area, Taman Safari Indonesia is part of my history. My childhood was there. Nowadays, TSI serves my family especially my nephews. The feeding experience, becoming close to the animals especially the wild, and the giant panda are the most important things to do. Please welcome on the weekdays to maximize your experience.

The park is quite big and there is quite a lot of animals there. Before we reached the taman safari, we got to buy the carrots and bananas to feed some of the animals there. There is zebra, giraffe, monkeys, camels, lions, tigers, hippos and many other kinds of animal. During our trip there, we got a chance to go visiting the panda area. It’s quite big and we need to take to bus to reach there. We buy the tickets to the Taman safari online for weekdays and we entered through the special line for online booking. Maybe that’s why there is no line at all in there. We went there since the morning till the afternoon and unfortunately it’s raining on the day we went there. So, some of the animals is hiding and it’s a shame that there are quite a lot of places we can’t visit as we don’t have enough time.

It's been a long time since I came here. I was really surprised by the change. Especially the new place “Istana Panda Indonesia”, where there’s a Fat Lazy Panda and a charming one, Red Panda. I feel so delightful with the experience! Beside, There’s also have Sea Lions & Cowboy Performance that really something. I personally proud with their attention to detail. It was cold with enchanting view of the mountain. Like a trip overseas. Will definitely come back!
