Note: Best affordable family day! My 6yo's favorite is the elephant and giraffe, my 10yo loves reading animal facts. Come at 7am when animals are active and it's not too hot. Bring your own snacks.

Note: A must for every Indonesian kid! My 10yo was excited to explain independence history to his little brother. Going to the top to see all of Jakarta is amazing. More beautiful at night with lights.

Note: Surprisingly my 6yo loved it! So many colorful puppets, he kept asking stories about Gatotkaca and Arjuna. Small museum so kids won't get tired. Combine with walking around Kota Tua and eating Kerak Telor.

Note: Hidden gem! This kite museum is super interactive. My son loved the workshop - he made his own kite and flew it. Very Instagrammable too. Perfect for creative kids who love colors and DIY.

Note: We call it Museum Gajah. Great for a 6-year-old who loves dinosaurs and ancient things. The gold treasures room made him go "wow!". Air-conditioned and very clean now after renovation. Educational but not boring.

Note: My son's favorite for photos! He was laughing so hard posing with the 3D paintings - looks like he's falling, flying, getting eaten by dinosaurs! Very fun and not scary at all. Great for family photos.

Note: Perfect for my 6-year-old vehicle lover! From old trains to planes, he could touch and climb some of them. Located inside TMII so you can do 2 places in 1 day. He learned about old becak and carriages.
