Check out These Tourist Destinations in Jakarta when You Can’t Go on This Year’s Mudik Trip

Despite most people going on their homecoming trip (mudik) for the Lebaran holidays, many others choose to have a family vacation instead. People unwilling to go on their mudik trip and thus celebrate Lebaran in Jakarta will likely do it.

Lebaran holidays always create a rare sight when Jakarta’s usually crowded main streets turn deserted, captivating those who want to enjoy the city’s view and skyscrapers.

If you decide to stay in the capital city during the holidays, it’s the right time to have fun with your family. Several tourist destinations are available to spice up your holidays!

Ancol

As the only seaside tourist destination in Jakarta, the iconic Taman Impian Jaya Ancol (Ancol Dreamland) should not be missed to spend Lebaran holiday with your family. You can play in the water on the beach, fly some kites, or enjoy the various dishes available.

Surely, you can also try the various amusement rides available in the 5.7-hectare enclosure. If you’re an adrenaline junkie, hop on the roller coaster, Kora-kora (pirate ship ride), or Hysteria (drop tower) in Dunia Fantasi (Dufan)!

Or you can enjoy a modest-but-fun water ride in Atlantis Water Adventures. Watching diverse collections of fish at various sizes in Sea World and attractive shows at Ocean Dream Samudera can also be part of your bucket list. Your family will surely be happy!
