Unexpected experience at Jakarta Aquarium

#newyearnewtrip The experience at Jakarta Aquarium is designed to be both educational and immersive, offering a variety of activities and exhibits for visitors of all ages. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect: 1. Arrival & Ambiance From the moment you enter, you’ll notice the modern and vibrant design of the aquarium. The layout is spacious, and the lighting is often dimmed to mimic an underwater environment, creating a calming atmosphere. As you explore, the aquarium’s atmosphere makes you feel like you’re underwater without getting wet. 2. Marine & Aquatic Exhibits The aquarium is divided into different zones, each focusing on specific marine ecosystems: • Ocean Zone: This is where you’ll find larger species like sharks, stingrays, and sea turtles. The highlight here is the Underwater Tunnel, which gives you a 360-degree view of these animals swimming around you—feels like you’re actually underwater! • River Zone: This part showcases freshwater species like piranhas, giant river fish, and other exotic species. It’s a great contrast to the ocean zone. 3. Interactive Touch Pools There are specific areas where you can touch and interact with certain sea creatures. The touch pools typically feature starfish, sea cucumbers, and small rays. The staff guides you on how to safely touch the animals without harming them, which is both fun and educational, especially for kids. 4. Penguin Habitat One of the most adorable sections is the penguin enclosure. Watching these birds waddle around and swim is a highlight. The staff often shares fun facts about penguins, making it a learning experience as well. 5. Feeding Sessions You can catch feeding demonstrations at various times throughout the day. These are usually held in areas like the shark tank or with the sea turtles. It’s fascinating to watch the feeding routine and learn more about the animals’ behavior. 6. Virtual & Augmented Reality Some of the aquarium’s exhibits feature interactive displays with augmented reality or 3D features, giving you a more engaging experience. These experiences help explain marine life in an entertaining way. 7. Animal Conservation Education Throughout the aquarium, there are informative panels and displays on marine conservation. You’ll learn about the importance of protecting aquatic ecosystems, the dangers that marine animals face, and what steps are being taken to help preserve them. 8. Facilities & Amenities Jakarta Aquarium is also quite family-friendly. It has ample facilities, including food courts, souvenir shops, and rest areas where you can relax after your tour. Overall, it’s a well-rounded experience that blends entertainment, education, and conservation awareness. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast or just looking for a fun day out, the aquarium provides a unique chance to explore the underwater world without leaving the city.

It is a 2-story facilities where you enter from the top level and exit at the lower level. Expect to spend at least 2-3 hours to enjoy the aquarium. They have lots of feeding time for different animals which requires you more time if you want to have it all. They offer 2 type of tickets: standard and premium. The premium gives you a 5D simulator experience as if you are in a sub-marine, around 5-10 mins, 25 people capacity. It also gives you multiple entry access for 4 hours from entry time. The 20 minutes mermaid show is a must-see attraction, located at the lower level, near exit. It's in English. Make sure you arrive earlier before the show as the seating is quite limited.check on the schedule as they only have 1-2 times shows/day. They also have a touch pool (non-dangerous shark, star fish, etc). #wintergetaway #happynewyear #tripinspired #wintergetaway#tripinspired#happynewyear
