Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park

We loved this place. It's recommended to visit top floor of the statue. The view from top is incredible. They give guided tour of the statue. Park is well maintained and large. One can get buggy from inside to reach at the statue. 2-3 hrs are required to visit the park.

I visited GWK in the afternoon and stayed until night. Since it was a weekday, most of the visitors were school groups, and after 6:30 PM the area became quite empty—only a few tourists around. But don’t worry, it’s not a drawback at all. I actually enjoyed it more because I could take photos freely, and the atmosphere felt calm and unpretentious. I also visited the Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue on the 9th and 23rd floors with a tour guide. I was amazed to learn about the history of GWK Cultural Park, from its early development to what it has become today. If you have enough time, I highly recommend going up the GWK tower and taking the guided tour.

Definitely worth visiting. Great area with a lot of shops. Beautiful nature and views. The statue itself is amazingly beautiful! Small bus takes you up to the ticket gates. If you don't wanna walk that much you have to buy different ride ticket. Worth visiting!

Was a nice place to visit. Recommend to visit after noon if it's very sunny and hot. Entrance tickets were 150k pp (not 100k as advertised), 350k if u want to take the elevator going up in the garuda statue which we didn't. 40k pp if u want to take shuttle car from entrance to garuda statue and back to where other statues are. There's a performance at 12-1 pm i think. Overall it's a very nice place to take photos, there are many souvenir shops before the entrance, and also money exchanger, atm (we used our European debit card and we had a very good rate, 1m IDK for 52 eur). Spending 2-3 hours here is enough.

The legendary Bali landmark ! The humongous statues of Lord Vishnu and Garuda must not be missed. The park is not that big but the unbearable sun makes it difficult to walk around. We visited in mid October but even then the temperature was enough to roast you. Umbrellas, hats and sunscreen are a must. Tickets can be booked online. However they have a paid buggy service to take the visitors to the main statue. IDR 40000 per head. This could have been made complimentary. The buggy does not ply both ways. It drops the visitors mid way while returning to explore the other statues. The park is well maintained and most of the eastern and western part of the island is visible from the top. The frequent landing and take offs of aircrafts at the airport is very enjoyable to be seen from there. There is a nice restaurant where visitors can claim their complimentary drink (if included in the entrance ticket). The park can be reached easily through Grab or Gojek cabs.

Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park is visually stunning. The statue is massive and awe inspiring, the grounds are beautifully maintained, and the cultural performances add a sense of meaning and history to the visit. Seeing the monument up close is worth it for the scale alone. That said, it definitely leans into being a tourist trap. There are upsells at almost every turn, from photo spots to paid shuttle upgrades, and plenty of shops selling overpriced merchandise. You can still enjoy the park, just be prepared for the commercial side of the experience. Overall, the views and the statue are unforgettable, but go in knowing you are paying for both the cultural moment and the tourist machine wrapped around it

superb place. you can easily spend 3-4 hours here. i recommend the tour for the museum and the view from top. the guides are super friendly and knowledgeable. if you have a baby/ stroller take the buggy as the walk up can be challenging in hot weather and rain.

What a beautiful place to experience the culture of Bali. Also the behest monuments of Vishnu and garura. You can make your cang sari and lot of activities to do for experiencing the local Bali. Amazing food court. Just you should be fit to walk or there are buggy services
