The Indonesian Miniature Park (in Indonesian is Taman Mini Indonesia Indah) is the miniature park that shows the diversity of cultures in Indonesia. Indonesia is a country with 13,000 islands, hundreds of different tribes and different languages. You will be able to see those different cultures in this park. The whole trip to this park will take one full day. In the park, you will find different types of traditional houses, outfits, and traditions of different tribes in Indonesia. You will find a lot of traditional art shows. Please avoid going there during national holidays, because it will be full of people and you won’t be able to enjoy it that much. The Park is located slightly far from the center of Jakarta, so making travel arrangement with a local travel agent is probably the best.
Beautiful Indonesia in Miniature Park, or “Taman Mini” as it is known in Indonesia’s national language, Bahasa, lies six kilometers outside of the capital city, Jakarta. On a weekday afternoon, particularly during the rainy season, the 250-acre park is one of the best places in the Jakarta area for a leisurely stroll. On a sunny weekend, however, the park can be thronged with visitors. Taman Mini draws an estimated 4.5 million visitors a year, the vast majority of them Indonesian. Visitors come to Taman Mini from all over the Indonesian archipelago, which stretches across an expanse of ocean slightly larger than the continental United States. The park features a lake that symbolizes this vast expanse of ocean with islands that represent a few dozen of the archipelago’s 13,677. The islands in the lake are identically flat, featureless, with low bushes representing mountain ranges, and are best viewed from above in a creaky gondola that dangles from a sagging cable. From the gondola, one can also see most of the pavilions that are the park’s main attractions. There is a pavilion for each of Indonesia’s 26 provinces, and one for East Timor, which has just gained independence after a 23-year struggle for independence.
