Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

We checked out this ‘playground’ the other weekend, a little outside the city of Jakarta.

It’s at Sentul City, just across Taman Budaya Sentul.

Now. I know it’s not that long ago, but I somehow can’t quite remember how much we paid (Yes, one of the reasons I’m blogging is my rusty memory!)

If I remember it right, entrance fee per person is only Rp8000 (that’s less than S$1!)

And you’d only need to pay between Rp6000 – Rp10,000 per person per ride!

My honest opinion of this place?

Alam Fantasia is housed at such a big piece of land. But, I do feel sorry for it because it desperately needs better maintenance (and perhaps … ‘financial investment’ to revamp the whole place?).

The cars, the trains, the paints, and everything are generally old and ‘run down’. Quite a few of the rides are not working anymore, and many of them had ‘no staff’ attending the rides.

Having said that, whatever other rides that ‘still work’, they cost so little. And I think the kids still love the rides anyway.

Well. Brie and Vai loved the playground.

And Anya and Vai loved the bumper car rides! =)

(TIPS : Late afternoon visits are recommended, because it’s simply unimaginable to be at this place under the scorching afternoon sun)

And, before we left, we even braved ourselves and went on the ‘sky train’!

Haha. That’s right!

We went on those small trains, about 8-10m above the ground, which basically went around the park.

Cost us only Rp6000 per train! (A maximum of two people on each)

Oh, the train could wobble btw, haha, and I kind of hoped everything was stuck well on the tracks and we’re brought back to the ‘station’ safely =)

(The male staff who attended our ‘sky train ride’ was very friendly! That’s a bonus point =)

How to get to Alam Fantasia by car:
– From Tol Jagorawi, exit at Sentul Selatan gate
– Turn left and drive towards Sentul City gate
– Go straight ahead (about 2km from the gate), and you’ll see Taman Budaya Edutainment Centre.
– Alam Fantasia is just across Taman Budaya Sentul.
