It's very easy to use. Just go up to the second floor to exchange your ticket. Once you've exchanged your ticket, you'll receive a wristband and can then take the elevator up. There's a short introductory video to watch before you see the actual site. The view from the top is absolutely beautiful!

Highly recommend this museum if you want to learn about the history of Indonesia. The museum is huge, so take your time looking at displays and take a break when you can because there will be a lot of walking.

This aquarium is located in the mall. So after visiting the aquarium, we went shopping. Very convenient. Aquarium itself is well designed and interactive. Both adults and kids can enjoy time here. We enjoyed the mermaid show although it was little corny.

I spent a very long time searching for the QR code from the Klook was hidden in multiple steps, causing me to stand at the entrance for a long time and wasting a lot of time. The staff at the place also helped me search, but to no avail.

I had a very nice massage. Convenient redemption. You get free drinks, pastries and Matcha ice cream afterwards too! You can book your preferred timeslots via Whatsapp, 3 hours in advance but usually if they’re not too full it should be fine

we had a really great time with our Kawah Puti Tour. Tika, our guide, was very efficient. She speaks really good English and it helps people like us from the Philippines who cannot speak Indonesia native language. She was also very patient with us especially in taking pictures.

Very beautiful artwork and installations. The info provided for each art are very insightful and easy to read. It's in both Bahasa and English. Went on the weekend in the morning and it wasn't so busy, recommended if you want to take personal photos/videos without getting in anyone's way. Staff were very friendly.

Faunaland Ancol is definitely worth visiting, especially for families. What makes it special is the chance to interact directly with animals—even some rare ones that you usually can’t get close to. They also offer animal feeding and a cruise experience for an additional fee, which adds to the fun. Don’t miss the bird shows at 11 AM and 4 PM—they’re entertaining and well-organized. The staff were incredibly kind and even helped us take photos, which made the experience more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
