Exploring the New Face of the Taman Mini After Renovation

You may already know that Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (Beautiful Indonesia in Miniature Park) is one of the top destinations in Indonesia. The construction of the park began in 1972, and it now covers a vast 147-hectare area, making it an Indonesian tourism icon.

In 2022, the government brought a fresh vibe into Taman Mini through a massive renovation project. This renovation aimed to restore its spectacle as a world-class tourist destination.

The effort was not a small feat, costing a staggering IDR 1.07 trillion. Wow, what a number! The project has now reached completion, and Taman Mini officially reopened its door to the public in early September 2023.

After the renovation, Taman Mini seems to have a brand-new look. It has embraced modernity, eco-friendliness, and inclusivity. Here are some of the changes:

Greener and Lusher

One of the most noticeable changes is the abundance of green areas. These green areas comprise 70% of the park’s total expanse. This makes Taman Mini greener and cooler.

More Modern Facilities

Taman Mini also boasts various modern facilities, including electric-based transportation, green zones, and spacious public areas. The facilities undoubtedly enhance visitors’ comfort as they explore the diverse facets of Taman Mini.

More Inclusive Concept

Now, Taman Mini has a more inclusive concept, as seen in its significantly larger and disability-friendly public spaces. How cool is that!

Besides appearing more lush and modern, Taman Mini now boasts new attractions and rides, including:

• Digital Indonesia Museum
• Archipelago Lake
• Jagat Satwa Nusantara (the Animal Conservation)
• Komodo Museum
• Freshwater and Insect World

The renovation is expected to position Taman Mini as a more modern and eco-friendly tourist destination, appealing to both domestic and international visitors.
