Интересный парк, можно в одном месте познакомиться с разными частями Индонезии. Площадь парка очень большая, пешком прошли с подругой в быстром темпе за 6 часов, но если останавливаться в каждом домике, то лучше выделить пару дней на посещение. На территории есть интересный платный зоопарк-террариум и фуникулер
The place is really cool, I just went to discover it, it needs a full day to visit each part of it and I feel it worth so I might consider coming back again for a visit

This is nice place with the colonial buildings and a good spaceous square. Its surrounded by good cafes and restaurant. I enjoyed staying at a restaurant cafe to enjoy the view.
I visited Kota Tua last August, and it was an incredible experience. The area's colonial architecture and historical charm made it feel like stepping back in time. As I wandered through Fatahillah Square, with the grand Jakarta History Museum at its heart, I could easily imagine what life must have been like during the old Batavia days. The square was bustling with people, performers, and local vendors, adding a lively touch to the atmosphere.I also visited the Museum Bank Indonesia, which gave me a deeper appreciation of Jakarta’s history and its role in the region. The cobblestone streets and old buildings created a perfect setting for leisurely exploration.What I enjoyed most was the blend of history and modern life. While the historical landmarks told stories of the past, the area was filled with artists, street food vendors, and vibrant energy. Visiting Kota Tua in August was like experiencing the spirit of Jakarta's rich heritage, and it’s a place I highly recommend for anyone interested in the city’s past.

A well worth visit for children especially. Bear in mind there's an entrance fee then access need for the 3 places in the park.
sea world Ancol Sea World Ancol is a popular marine-themed attraction located in Ancol Dreamland, Jakarta, Indonesia. It features a variety of marine life exhibits, including fish, sharks, rays, and other sea creatures. It's a great place for visitors to learn about marine biodiversity and enjoy interactive experiences with marine animals.

The National Museum of Indonesia (NNI) formerly served as the Batavia Art and Science Society, established by the Dutch government. Therefore, the current building retains its Dutch European style.
It was closed for over a year and recently reopened. It is divided into two areas: the old area has six themed exhibition halls, and the new area has four.
The most eye-catching feature at the entrance is the sculpture of the God of Destruction. Its Indian-style design creates a sinister aura, and it is one of the few depictions of Shiva with a sinister image in the world.
Then there is a bronze statue presented by King Rama V in 1871. Of course, the museum's crowning jewel is the Bodhisattva statue on the second floor, which is exquisitely crafted. It was previously enclosed in a glass case, but now it is completely uncovered.
There are also art galleries and various cultural centers scattered throughout the museum. However, for a multi-ethnic country like Indonesia, a national museum like this doesn't quite match the rich cultural heritage of the country, whether in terms of history or humanities. Tickets are affordable, and you can explore it in half a day.
If you are a first time visitor to Indonesia, and you are arriving through Jakarta, the National Museum of Indonesia, right smack in the city centre, is a must visit as it is a comprehensive well-explained museum that gives you a good introduction to the diverse tapestry that is Indonesia.Two things in particular stand out. First, you will see an entire garden filled with statues from Hindu mythology, showing the immense role that Hinduism played in the early history of Southeast Asia. The second is the display of Indonesia’s many diverse ethnic groups. There is a huge map that shows you that, but what I liked more was the interactive segment where you could scan your face and the machine would tell you which ethnic group you resemble! For me I was matched with Sangir people!

There is a historic cathedral in Central Jakarta. It is a European building and looks very majestic from the outside. It is still in operation and has holy meetings. Many believers come here to worship Jesus.
The Jakarta Cathedral is a very beautiful building with a very clever design inside. It is an ancient building and very beautiful inside. When I first arrived, there was a pastor preaching, so I went in and took a look. It's good and worth visiting.

What a magnificent national monument. The top is made of 35kg of gold, shining brightly under the sun. There is an entrance at the base, and there is a museum underground. There is also an elevator that goes straight to the top of the monument to see the scenery. Good.
The Indonesian National Independence Monument is located in the center of the Independence Square.

It is a big zoo where you can see Giraffe, Elephant, Lion, and many more animals. Good for kid’s education
Tired of inviting your little one to spend vacation time at the mall or at the Jakarta shopping center? Try spending time with your family by visiting the Ragunan Zoo.

Ancol Dreamland seems to be a unique park environment newly built in recent years to develop tourism. The entire park can accommodate thousands of people. The internal visit here is also quite interesting. The park can experience and enjoy many fun projects.
A dream park in Jakarta. The small park here also allows you to experience many nice small contents. The entire dream park is very popular. When you come here, you can also see some very unique customs.

Buying online is cheaper than on site. Came during peak period, on site price was RP440k for International, and RP400k for Local. Go early. We reached at 12pm and did not have time to finish the place. Wait time is between 0mins for kids rides to 30mins. Food within the themepark is reasonably priced with drinks as low as Rp10k, and snacks from Rp15k. Overall a great experience for us and the kids. Kids need a minimum height of 100m for the rides.
没连接海滩，小朋友玩的游乐园。没意思

Chinatown, this is the Chinatown area in West Jakarta, witnessing the huge Chinese population. Every country in the world has its own Chinatown, thanks to the talents of the Chinese. When you walk into the Chinese settlement, you will feel very close, like a family member you haven't seen for a long time. There are many shops that specialize in business with tourists, who like to bargain, which is very interesting.
Today I flew from Singapore for more than 2 hours to Jakarta. The first attraction I visited was Chinatown. I saw a big sign for Chinatown after I passed the traffic light at the intersection. I walked around a few times and found that there were a lot of people.
