Ancol Luar Biasa

TIME : 2016/2/17 12:34:01

On Jakarta's bayfront, the people’s ‘Dreamland’ is a landscaped recreation complex popular with families. It has amusement rides and sporting and leisure facilities, including bowling, but gets extremely crowded on weekends. Prime attractions include the Pasar Seni (Art Market), which has sidewalk cafes, craft shops, cable-car rides, art exhibitions, and live jazz every Friday, and the Atlantis Water Adventure water-park complex, which costs an additional 150,000Rp to enjoy a wave pool, waterslides and a slide pool, plus artificial beaches.

The Gondola, a cable-car system, provides great views of the bay. The huge Dunia Fantasi fun park includes the Halilintar twisted roller-coaster ride and Kora Kora (swinging ship). Marine mammal lovers, be warned. Sea World lives here too.

Koridor 5 of the busway runs to Ancol. A taxi will cost around 70,000Rp from Jl Thamrin.
