Elliott is obsessed with the sea so visiting Seaworld was on our must-do list, even if my expectations were quite low. Little did I know, I would enjoy it too!
The aquarium has some interesting features:
- a touchpool area where kids get to touch baby sharks, starfish, big sea turtles…
- an impressive underwater tunnel
- some funny features such as the car and phone booth aquarium
Sure, the place is a bit old and could use an update but it is spacious, clean and air-conditioned. We have been there several times on a weekday and there were few people.
The trip takes about 45min-1hour from central Jakarta and it is totally worth the effort for kids who are interested in marine life.
The place is air-conditioned and stroller friendly and there is a restaurant inside with child-friendly meals available (although we didn’t try).
Note that Jakarta now has two aquariums, the newest one is called Jakarta Aquarium and is located in NeoSoho Mall, more details here.
Opens daily 9-19
Weekdays: Rp. 80.000/pax, Weekend: Rp. 90.000/pax (kids over 90cm must buy a ticket)
