Dufan Ancol

Unclaimed

While Ancol offers a lot of fun attractions, the waiting times for the rides are honestly not worth it (well everybody knew). The rides themselves are enjoyable, but they only last about 3-8 minutes, and considering how long you have to stand in line, it can be a bit frustrating. On my visit, I spent the entire day there, walked over 16,000 steps, but only managed to get on two rides because of the long queues. It felt like I spent more time waiting than actually having fun. If you plan to visit, make sure to wear super comfortable footwear, as you’ll be walking around a lot. The grounds are large, and the crowds can make it feel even more exhausting. I would also recommend avoiding weekends if possible. The park gets incredibly crowded, which means long lines for pretty much everything, from rides to food. Even finding a place to sit and eat can be challenging, as there’s always a line, and the atmosphere can feel a bit hectic. The water prices vary from 5,000 to 8,000 IDR, so it’s a good idea to ask for the price before purchasing. One bright spot during my visit was Pucok, a drink stand offering really refreshing beverages. The soursop flavor was particularly delicious and a great pick-me-up amidst the heat and crowds. Overall, Ancol can be a fun day out, especially if you’re prepared for the crowds, long waiting times, and short ride durations. If you want a more relaxed experience, I would suggest visiting during the weekdays when it’s less crowded. Just be sure to manage your expectations about the time spent waiting versus the time spent enjoying the attractions. Note: please bring your own umbrella, sunscreen, hat, raincoat.

Dunia Fantasi, or Dufan, was my very first theme park, and I used to go often as a reward whenever I got good report cards—since the tickets were quite pricey. But after having kids and living abroad for a while, Dufan stopped being a favorite because we had Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Ocean Park, Movie World, which became the kids’ top theme parks. When we moved back to Jakarta, the kids started asking about Dufan after hearing their school friends talk about it. So we finally went there during this Ramadan and signed up for the one-year e-card membership—definitely worth it and more satisfying for kids who love running around and being physically active. All in all Dufan is fun!!! It was such a nostalgic trip for me and my husband. And the kids enjoyed it too—they found it just as exciting as theme parks abroad. The only downside was Pontang Ponting, which we felt should really be replaced—it’s outdated and not in great shape anymore. The classics like Halilintar, Bianglala, Kora-Kora, Niagara, Ontang-Anting, and Alap-Alap brought back so many memories, and they’re still well-loved by today’s kids. There are also some fun new rides like Baling-Baling, Hysteria, Arung Jeram, Kereta Misteri, and Ice Age. The most intense one? Tornado—that ride was absolutely wild!!! My heart nearly jumped out of my chest! I can still ride those rides as an adrenaline junkies as many as I want ???? No sweat!!! ?️ Plenty slots ?️ 300k - 400k IDR ? Excellent aircon toilet anywhere in Dufan ☀️ Hot and humid ? Wear comfortable shirt and pants ?️ wear glasses and ? ? Several prayer spots available around ?️ Many kind of restaurants with decent prices ??? Attention ??? To visit Dufan, you need to purchase entrance tickets through various online apps, the Ancol.com website, or directly at the gate. Apps like Tiket.com, Loket, Traveloka, Klook, and others offer ticket options—and sometimes promos too. In addition to the Dufan ticket, you also need to buy an entrance ticket for the Ancol area itself (per person and per vehicle) via Ancol.com. You’ll receive a QR code that will be scanned at the Ancol entrance gate. Enjoy!!! YOU’LL LOVE IT ❤️‍?❤️‍?‼️‼️

I was using the annual pass during the ramadhan season, and came at the afternoon. There was queue around 30 min to 1 hour at the most popular rides and newest area. Several old rides doesn't open or under maintenance.

It's got a great mix of rides for everyone, from chill carousel rides to more thrilling rollercoasters that'll make you scream (in a good way!). The atmosphere is always lively and it's a perfect spot to spend a day with friends

Childhood's core memory! Came back here after years. Visited on weekend but the traffic was okay. Food and drinks are not allowed but you can bring your tumbler. You can use their paid locker (cash only for 50k rupiah) Some rides and corners were getting old just like us. The safety guaranteed, their engineers regularly checking the rides before operated. Come come!
