Miss Kiki and friends learnt about insects at school recently. As part of their learning experience, they went for a field trip to the Insect Museum in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah. The complex is actually quite large, and would be interesting for anyone interested in traditional architecture. The Transportation Museum, Electricity Museum, Stamp Museum, and several other museums can be found in the same complex.
Miss Kiki had asked me to drive her to the field trip myself, and when I asked her why, she said it was because she did not want to wake up early to meet up with everyone at school. Lol... at least she's honest about it.
The TMII location was fairly easy to find, but there were no clear signs for the insect museum. I had to ask several times and went around before I found it. But we found it!
The children first took a tour at the Freshwater Aquarium, but we got there a bit late so we only joined them towards the end. After everyone had left, Miss Kiki asked to go back to the Aquarium and I obliged.
The Aquarium was rather dark and sad looking. They have a pretty good variety of fish, but the place had an unpleasant smell in some corners, and the water did not look very clean. I guess they have limited funding with the Rp. 25.000 (US $ 2.00) entrance fee.
We then continued to the insect museum, but it seemed like the kids just breezed through it, into the butterfly garden. The garden was a nice place to walk around, though in my opinion still a far cry from the Butterfly Garden at the Changi Airport I posted about sometime last year. The kids had fun in it though....
So without further ado... here are the pictures!
