Taman Rusa Sekupang (Deer Park)
Taman Rusa Sekupang
A small deer park in the forested hills of Sekupang. Visitors can feed the deer up close, and it is a free leisure spot that local families often bring their children to.
Taman Rusa Sekupang is in a wooded area of Sekupang in western Batam. Dozens of sambar and spotted deer roam the park. Visitors can feed them carrots and sweet potato leaves, which are sold by park staff or street vendors, over the fences, and children especially love it. The park also has shaded walking trails, rest pavilions and food stalls, and local families come to picnic on weekends. It is small, so a visit takes 30 to 60 minutes. It fits well into an itinerary with Waterfront City or the Sekupang port. Admission is free or charged a nominal fee (please check on site). Getting there: a taxi from Nagoya takes about 20 minutes. Tips: Only feed the food the park allows. After rain, the paths are slippery and mosquitoes are abundant.
Opening hours
About 08:00–17:00 (check on site)
