Ragunan Zoo

A Budget-Friendly Adventure in Jakarta Ragunan Zoo is a super affordable place to visit! We took TransJakarta from the Tanjung Duren Bus Stop, right in front of APL Tower. First, we hopped on the 3F line (Kalideres–Senayan Bank DKI), then transferred to the 6V line (Senayan Bank DKI–Ragunan). The whole ride cost just IDR 3,500 — such a steal! We arrived at Ragunan Bus Station in about an hour. Entry tickets to the zoo are also incredibly cheap — only IDR 4,000! However, you’ll need a special card called a JakCard, which costs around IDR 45,000. If you're staying in Jakarta for a while, make sure not to lose it, as it can be used at various tourist spots across the city. If you're planning to visit on the weekend, we highly recommend going early in the morning. There’s less traffic, fewer people on the bus, and the zoo is much quieter. We really enjoyed strolling around with the cool morning breeze, admiring the birds, and listening to the sound of flowing water — it was so refreshing. But after 11 AM, the zoo gets really crowded — families, school groups, and lots of kids. And when I say crowded, I mean packed! It becomes hard to walk around comfortably, and the noise level goes way up with kids running and shouting. So much for a peaceful morning in nature! I’m thinking of coming back on a weekday next time. There are plenty of stalls selling drinks, ice cream, and snacks, so you don’t need to carry too much in your backpack. Just be prepared to walk — it takes thousands of steps to explore the whole zoo! If you want to save some energy, you can rent a bike, electric bike, or scooter. Parents also can rent strollers for their kids at the entrance gate. We rented an electric bike for IDR 50,000 per hour. Pro tip: If you’re planning to visit the Smutzer Primate Center, don’t rent your bike just yet — bikes aren’t allowed inside. Overall, we had a great time at Ragunan Zoo today. It’s a different vibe from Taman Safari, but it’s always nice to reconnect with nature and appreciate its wonders once in a while.

The coolest place with fresh air in the heart of Jakarta. Nice place to spend your time with family here. Ticket price is so cheap, better go in the early morning to get best quality of the air Dont forget to bring cash to buy some snack or water from the traditional food stall. You can rent the bycycle or eletric bike here if you want to explore the whole part of the zoo. Now in november there are some improvement and maintenance, so the entrance gate only from Main entrance in the North.

Great place for a family day out! The zoo is spacious with lots of shady trees, so it doesn’t feel too hot even on sunny days. The ticket price is very affordable, and there’s a good variety of animals to see. Best to come early in the morning to avoid crowds.

If you want to find a place to jog or running in South Jakarta, Ragunan could be one of the options. Come early around 6 or 7 am to avoid the crowds of tourists. The dense and tall trees make it the best place to get fresh air while doing light outdoor exercise.

Nice green land so big no enough to finish it one day cheap price for tickets but animals looks hungry and hard to see all around Indonesian zoo very good you enjoy when you go to zoo only Jakarta zoo not that much quality care about the animal so this is last chance if you don’t have a place to visit to go to the zoo Jakarta zoo about me I visit 7 th zoo in all around Indonesia only this zoo I see big different I feel sorry for animals in cage

how much fun here!! jogging with landscape authentic animals so close.. recommend for you to scrolling around whole this ways guys if you want practicing before hiking!! strong roads!! so excited to be here again 🙉🤩❗

Come in through the north or west gate, the east gate entrance is closed. You need to have a Ragunan Card to enter and will have to buy one for about 25k. Bring your mosquito repellent or use long pants and sleeves to avoid bug bites. Plenty of affordable meal and snack options inside, especially on Sunday. Plenty of parking spot.

I really enjoyed visiting Ragunan Zoo! The territory is very big and wonderfully calm—it honestly feels like you're deep inside a lush jungle. It's a perfect place to stroll and enjoy nature. For the price, the facilities are very good and well maintained. I especially liked seeing the Komodo dragon 😄—such an impressive creature! Overall, it’s a great spot for a relaxing day out.
