Ancol Dreamland, located in the capital Jakarta, is one of the oldest recreational parks in Indonesia. Its history goes back to the 60’s era. It was a swamp along Jakarta’s waterfront that was full of mosquitoes and prone to a malaria outbreak. The first president of Indonesia, Soekarno later order a redevelopment of the area.

The first park built was called Binaria. A beachfront park that was famous for its drive-in theater back in the day. Today, Ancol Dreamland is now an integrated recreational theme park. The largest one in South East Asia. At 552 hectares, the park has two main beaches at its shoreline with the resort sprawls in between the 2 beaches.

Dunia Fantasi (Fantasy World) is the most popular theme park with more than 40 rides and attractions. After Dunia Fantasi, Atlantis Waterpark is people’s second favorite. Ancol Dreamland has more things to offer. There is a park called Allianz Ecopark, where nature and the environment are the sparks.

Sea World and Ocean Dream Samudra focus more on Indonesian marine life. For culture and art enthusiasts, there is an art market to explore. Ancol Dreamland also caters to night crawlers, with restaurants, nightclubs, and bars open until late at night.

Ancol Dreamland Beaches

There are two main beaches in Ancol Dreamland. The Carnival Beach and Festival Beach. Carnival beach features long shorelines overlooking the Java sea, with white sand and coconut trees. Swim the calm waves or simply let the skin be kissed by the sun.

Dine at a beachfront restaurant nearby called Segarra. It’s a perfect dining place with a view of the beach and the sea. Festival Beach, lies in the west part of Ancol, is more rocky than sandy. The beach’s long promenade is perfect for a nice evening stroll.

Walk along and find a wooden sea pedestrian where the sunset can be enjoyed at its best. At the beach, there’s a playground for children to play. If things get a bit boring here, visitors can always rent a small boat and ride toward the ocean.

Ancol Dreamland Fantasy World Dufan

The most fun theme park in Ancol Dreamland is arguably Fantasy World, or Dufan, as to how locals call it. For starters, try calm rides such as Poci-Poci or Alap-alap. Poci-Poci is where visitors sit in a large cup, moving and circling slowly on a giant tea table. Alap-alap is a roller coaster. But it’s more of a relaxing fun ride than a stomach-flipping one.

Feel warm-up already, try the thrill rides. Tornado is the most notorious of all Dufan’s rides. Will spin, drop, and flip riders up in the air in a seemingly random fashion. Experience a free-fall sensation of hysteria. The chair will bring riders up 60 meters above the ground. Before dropping back to the ground within 4 seconds, after all the adrenaline rush. Slow down the pace by enjoying Jakarta’s sunset on the Ferris wheel Bianglala.

Ancol Dreamland Water Amusement Parks

When it comes to Jakarta’s heat, nothing is better than playing at Atlantis Waterpark. Slide the 140 m long waterslide. The big splash at the end will freshen the body better than any ice cream. Adventure seekers should try Skybox. Step into the transparent tube, and as the tube’s floor open.

Enjoy being dropped from 80 meters in height into the pool. The free fall is only 5 seconds, but the thrill will remain in memory forever. Want some water adventures without having to change swimwear? Visit the oceanarium Sea World. It is a large aquarium park filled with hundreds of fish species.

From marine fishes to freshwater fishes. Walk through the Antasena tunnel to watch 3.500 fish swimming freely above. At Sharkquarium, watch a shark feeding show. If that’s not exciting enough, there is also a feeding show for piranha and Pacific giant octopus.

If there’s some time left, enjoy the animal show at Ocean Dream Samudra. Dolphins will make spectacular jumps with a sophisticated LED backdrop. Pet these friendly sea mammals at the end of the session. Then the sea lions will take over the stage, making the audience laugh with their funny behavior.
