Ragunan Zoo

Indonesia's first and now most famous zoo, established more than 150 years ago. 295 species roaming the area, many are endemic to Indonesia only. There is a special area for primates (monkeys, apes, and its derivatives) called Schmutzer, a still active conservation and research centre. Out from there, the animals are ready to greet you in open air. Payment have to use JakCard from Jakarta Government Bank and it makes difficulty for many people who have no JakCard. JakCard can be used only for limited transaction such as TransJakarta, but TransJakarta can use other cards. The children can also play with tame animals in another dedicated area and watch many animal performances, only on weekend, Sunday and holiday. Rent a bike to tour the zoo quicker (near North Entrance 2 or Pintu Utara 2) or get around with horse cart on weekend, Sunday and holiday only and set a mat under a tree for a picnic.
