Taman Mangrove Ketapang — Attraction in Mauk

Kawasan Wisata Ketapang Urban Aquaculture AKA Taman Mangrove Ketapang, offers a promising concept of mangrove forest tourism, albeit with significant drawbacks. The site's main attraction lies in its mangrove forest exploration, yet it falls short in maintenance and facilities. The presence of separate children's games, although requiring additional fees, adds a family-friendly touch. However, the deteriorated state of the facilities, including dysfunctional male toilets and stagnant water, poses a major concern.

Awal dateng kesini sempet bingung, karna kurang jelas petunjuknya. Ngikutin google maps, di arahin ke belakang. Di belakang bingung sama pedagang di arahin simpen motor di deket tempat yg jualan dan masuk lewat pintu belakang. Cuman saya ga respon. Coba nanya ke tukang warung, jawabannya sama. Sepertinya mereka sama-sama ngarahin biar kita masuk belakang dan parkir motor di wilayah yg jualan. Alhamdulillah ketemu abah-abah naik sepeda. Beliau bilang "neng, gerbang ini di tutup kalau hari ini. Ke gerbang sana aja (sambil beliau nunjuk)".

Dan Alhamdulillah ternyata kita nemu gerbang depan dan masuk lewat depan. Motor Alhamdulillah aman juga karna di bawa ke dalem.

Saran aja buat pengelola taman mangrove, di setiap gerbang belakang, kalau ga dibuka tolong kasih keterangan dan arahin ke gerbang utama. Biar orang yg mau main kesitu ga bingung. Jujur awal kesitu saya bingung banget.

Saran lagi nih, buat wc nya tolong di kasih air. Pengunjung mau ke wc, masa ga ada air. Gimana kalau bawa anak2? Kan mereka ga bisa nahan.

Untuk harga tiket masuk 2 orang pakai motor...
