11 Places To Visit With Your Kids in Jakarta

Many times people asked me where they can take their kids in Jakarta, a city notorious for its malls and shopping centres. Without further ado, listed below are my recommendations.

1. Houbii Urban Adventure Park


This large indoor park is situated in Jakarta, near Pondok Indah Mall. There are many courses in the park that kids and adults love. Ninja Course, Dodge Ball Course, Airbag, and Rope Course just to name a few. Miss Kiki usually goes there with her friends or with DH. A guardian is allowed to enter the area for free  as long as he or she doesn't play.

Address:

2. Playground Kemang

The Playground is an outdoor play area in Kemang, South Jakarta. The place is laid back with huts, tables, and benches for the adults while waiting for the kids.

Address:

3-4. Waterbom Jakarta

Located in North Jakarta, Waterbom is a popular spot on weekends and holidays. This large waterpark has many different slides and pools to cater to small children and adults alike. If you prefer South Jakarta, the newer Pondok Indah Waterpark is also an option.

Address:




5-6. GBK Stadium

Currently under renovations for the Asian Games, the GBK Stadium used to be a nice place for  jogging or biking. Some people would also gather with their R/C cars and drones. You can monitor their renovation progress on the website and see when they will re-open. At the moment, Kalijodo is supposed to be an alternative for biking, walking, and skate boarding but I myself have never been there.

Address:

7. Scientia Square Park

This new-ish park is actually located a little bit outside Jakarta, but is still easily accessible. It's quite lush and organized, they have spots for different activities from running, biking, skating, to kite flying. They also frequently have events going on.

8. Bremgra Indoor Climbing

Wall climbing is not really my thing, but Miss Kiki and her friends had fun when we went to Bremgra Wall Climbing. They have a special area for children if they don't have any experience.

Address:

9. Galeri Keramik Kollekan

Work on your artsy side at Galeri Kollekan. It's a small ceramic studio in Cipete, South Jakarta. You can go there and work on your own things or if you want they can also teach you how to make things. Kids have fun working with their hands and they get to take their masterpiece home.

Address:


10-11. Bintaro Fish Centre and Talaga Sampireun

Okay Talaga Sampireun is actually a restaurant, but I think it's quite suitable to be on this list. There are 3 locations of Talaga Sampireun and we had gone to the one in Bintaro. The restaurant is set around a fish pond. Children can feed the fish while waiting for the food. There was also a play area for kids but I think you have to pay for everything. A visit here can be combined with a visit to Bintaro Fish Centre, where children can do fun activities like lobster catching and caring for a water porcupine.

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  an
