About
Raske fakta: Salt air mixes with the scent of popcorn and fried street snacks as roller coasters and Ferris wheels scream along the waterfront. Around four million visitors arrive each year to ride more than 30 attractions, watch marine shows, and stroll a long beachfront promenade.
Høydepunkter: Neon-lit rides reflect off the mangrove-streaked bay at dusk, while the aroma of grilled fish and sweet coconut pancakes pulls crowds toward lively food stalls. A 30-minute ocean amphitheater show pairs trained dolphins with pyrotechnics and live gamelan percussion, producing a splashy, drum-driven spectacle that smells of salt and smoke and sticks in your memory.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and a hat, because the area is large and walking between attractions is common.
- Bring swimwear, towel and a waterproof bag if planning Atlantis or the beach, many vendors charge for towel rentals.
- Skip overpriced food inside some attractions, head to Pasar Seni food stalls or the Ancol boardwalk for better prices and local snacks.
- Arrive before 10:00 on weekends or use the Ancol shuttle and ride-hailing dropoffs to avoid heavy traffic at the main gate.
