The Ragunan Zoo, it's the best park for enjoying time with your kids. This is the very first zoo in Indonesia. The location is in South Jakarta, and closed with the exit toll road, if you using car, it will easier to reach this zoo, for me, since we are living in South Tangerang, we can using toll road and exited in Exit toll gate at Ampera Raya, it's way faster.

It's better go to this zoo at working days :) less stress with traffic. When you enter the zoo, you will enter the same gate for Trans Jakarta buses (Bus way), you will park your car at the parkir lot that also used by the commuter using the Trans Jakarta to work, pay the parking lot at the gate. It will be hard to find an available parking lot near the entrance gate of the zoo, already occupied by the commuters, you might get an avail parking lot near to the exit gate. The entrance gate for the cars also near the entrance gate to the zoo. It's lot easier for Jakarta residents to reach this zoo, just go to the near trans Jakarta station, hop in and seat. Btw, the parking costs around Rp6000 - Rp12,500.

The ticket price is cheap, for three of us, is not exceed than Rp10,000. It is Rp4000 for adult and Rp3000 for kids. You can also brings your own bicycle or scooter, my kids brought their own bikes, or you just can rent them inside, it's Rp10,000 for one bike or Rp15,000 for tandem bike, quite cheap right?

Ragunan, had around 2000 animals inside, from primates, such as Monkey, Gorilla to the reptiles, such as snakes, crocodiles, etc. Since, this zoo quite large, you will get tired if walking around by foot. So, you can use train cars for Rp7,500 to go around and reach the places you want to see, or just simply rent a bike. Or just enjoying the times by riding horse (Rp5000), elephant (Rp7500) or just rowing at the lake by goose boat (Rp18,000), your kids will love it.

They are some foods stall near the The Schmutzer Primate Centre if you need a rest and hungry. If you want to enter Schmutzer, you need to pay another Rp6000/person. You got to go to this Primate Centre when you're here, it's a great place to learn, especially for Gorilla.

I think the management should adding more trash bin around the Ragunan, or maybe a vending machine for someone who run out water and get thirsty. Hope for much more better for Ragunan in the future ahead. For healthy animals, clear and hygiene cages for them, enough and proper foods also for them.

Well, that's it, I think enough review for Ragunan, I really hope it can help you guys. Please don't littering when you're here, and it will be great if you bring your own water in your own tumblers.

Enjoy Jakarta!
