Bogor Botanical Gardens

Wonderfull botanic garden! This place is an absolute gem if you are looking for a relaxing day in nature. From the moment we entered, we felt like we had left the city far behind. The atmosphere is peaceful, quiet, and perfect for slowing down and reconnecting with nature. Walking through the paths surrounded by greenery was our favorite part, but there are also other options available. For those who prefer less walking, it is possible to rent bikes or hop on a shuttle bus, which makes the area accessible for everyone. Along the way you can stop at small stalls to buy drinks or snacks, which is convenient if you want to take a break. The facilities are simple but sufficient, and everything felt well maintained. We especially appreciated the entrance fee: it’s affordable and, unlike many other attractions, not more expensive for foreigners. That alone makes it feel more welcoming and fair. What stood out most was the sense of tranquility. Even though it is not far from the city, it feels like a different world. If you enjoy walking, cycling, or just spending some quiet hours in a natural setting, this place is highly recommended.

One of my favorite places in Bogor! The Botanical Garden is not just beautiful, but also full of history and fresh air. It’s the kind of place you can visit again and again and still find something new to enjoy. Some tips if you plan to go: • Buy your ticket in advance—either from their website or Traveloka. It's faster and easier, especially on weekends. • Check their Instagram before your visit. Sometimes there are cool events like pop-up markets or live music near the Ecodome. • Getting around is flexible—you can walk, rent a bicycle, e-bike, or even a golf cart. But honestly, walking is the best way to explore all the corners and hidden gems. Spots you shouldn’t miss: - The view of the Presidential Palace (great for photos) - The Orchid House -The Mexican Garden, Aquatic plants, and more! For food, there aren’t many options inside. Raasaa restaurant near the parking area is the best one if you're looking for a proper meal. The cafes near the gift shop are okay for light snacks or drinks. Parking is Rp 50k per car for the whole day. You can bring your own bike too, but there's an extra charge. They open at 8 AM on weekdays and 7 AM on weekends, but members with a special card can enter even earlier (you can ask about this via WhatsApp from their website or Instagram). Best time to go? Definitely in the morning! The air is cool and it’s less crowded. Weekends and holidays can get super packed, so come early if you can. Whether you're with family, friends, or just hanging out solo, this place is really worth it. Peaceful, green, and just beautiful. Highly recommend!

I came here on public holiday (Friday) it was fast to buy the ticket on the spot, could use Qris methode payment. Near to the hotel I stayed. A bit crowded but still fun, just a bit hard to rent a bicycle, needed to wait for long to get the unit. Over all still good to visit to spending time in the garden and good to reach more than 10K steps walk too 😂

Amazing gardens! Alone half a day at least to really take it in especially if like to learn about the multiple trees, shrubs, cactus & more. Spent 3.5hrs & missed half of it & had to rush - needed to leave city & was to late to complete planned day's next stop but worth it. Trees from not only the Indonesian archipelago but also Africa, India, Australia & more. Great place for families or solo visit - perfect for picnics. Full of locals so clearly desired. RP25.5 on weekends & RP15 on weekdays. A Must Visit! Will try & select best pics, took hundred+. Recommend!

Calm, scenic, and huge area with the oldest tree from the 1800. A large variety of flora, lake, and water bodies. A place for families, friends, and lots of fun. You can hire cycles, e-scooters, carts, etc. It is comfortable for everyone to walk. Beautiful place to spend a day.

If you find yourself in Bogor, be sure to visit this remarkable destination located in the heart of the city. It's one of the premier spots for a leisurely stroll while immersing yourself in the beauty of diverse plant life. The expansive grounds are perfect for those who enjoy long walks and breathtaking views of various trees and plants. The air is refreshingly crisp, thanks to the lush greenery that surrounds you. This enchanting place is truly a must-visit!

Here when it’s weekend and it’s pretty crowded, to be honest it was a really nice place but since it’s weekend, we are only allowed to enter from one gate somehow. And since we already planned to drive with golf cart, you have to get them from another gate which is such a hassle since from one gate to another one is too far.

What an incredible experience at Bogor Botanical Gardens! The lushness of the giant trees, the diverse plant collection, and the serene atmosphere truly spoil your eyes and mind. Ideal for family picnics or just finding peace away from the city's hustle and bustle.
