Top Muslim Travel Tips for East Jakarta

Amusement parks

Taman Mini Indonesia Indah - Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park - Pinang Ranti - In the 1970s, first lady Tien Soeharto envisioned a park to present and preserve the diversity of Indonesia's 27 (now 34) provinces. What results now is a pavilion for each province with different buildings (rumah adat) and detailed information about each province's cultures, museums and theaters (an IMAX and a performing arts), and a children's park. Get around the park by monorail, gondola, mini train, or rent a bike. Regular performances occur at selected pavilions and museums, and at the theaters. Taman Mini is vast (about 100 hectares or 250 acres), and seeing all the venues requires more than one day, so plan carefully. If planning to see Taman Mini for more than one day, two hostels are available and should be considered.

SnowBay Waterpark - A concept of playing with water in the Arctic. Highlights include the infamous Hurricane funnel: sit on a flotation device and be swirled several times before being emptied to the water below.

Golf

Jakarta Golf Club - The oldest course in Jakarta (1872). Thoughtful and precise approach to the putt.

Padang Golf Halim - Very close to the airport. Started as the Air Force’s first golf course, now known for its low fees, yet challenging course (high trees, tricky greens). 36 holes (divided into 2 parts).

Royale Jakarta Golf Club - 27 golf holes (North, West, South have 9 holes each). Most require long shots. The restaurant overlook the court. The most complete facility.
