Jakarta is known as a destination for shopping and outdoor fun. There’s a lot you can do in a tropical country especially since the weather conditions are ideal for indoor and outdoor entertainment. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy the hot sun and breeze then you should head over to Ancol Dreamland Jakarta. The place is open twenty four hours a day so you can go in at any time, but keep in mind that some of the recreational activities will be open only in the morning and afternoon. During the day you can visit the Water Park, marina and aquarium. If you want to get your blood rushing then try out the jungle ropes, the course takes you across an open area overlooking trees and the beautiful waterfront, just make sure you don’t let go of the handle bar.
Night time activities include concerts, dining at restaurants and having a drink at a beach bar. The entrance for the park is around 13,000 Indonesian Rupiah and it is well worth the money you spend. To start off the day’s activities head over to Carnival beach. There is a bike rental outlet that offers a free first hour for bike riders. It is a great way to explore the beach and get a feel for the place. From Carnival beach the walk to Sea World is a short one. Sea World, Jakarta is not as big as the Sea World you find in San Diego, US but it is still a great place to observe marine life. The featured attractions at Sea World are the tunnel that passes through the main aquarium and feeding time at the Shark aquarium.
For live dolphin performances take a trip to Gelanggang Samudra; other things to see and do there are the 4D theatre show and kids rides. You shouldn’t miss out on the most popular attraction at Ancol which is Fantasy World. It is right next to Festival beach and it includes all the high-powered rides of the park. Since it’s not easy to cover the entire park in one day find accommodation in luxury hotels Indonesia that are close to the location. Indonesia 5 star hotels provide transport to the park and will offer you a good deal for entrance tickets. Check out Starwood Indonesia, they are sure to make your stay in Jakarta a memorable one.
