Solo Safari
A city safari park converted from an old zoo, where you can view animals from a vehicle and get close to them.
Originally the Taru Jurug Zoo, founded in 1878, it was renovated and reopened in 2023 by the Indonesian Wildlife Park Group. The park has drive-through viewing areas and walk-through zones, with orangutans, tigers, Komodo dragons, giraffes and more, along with feeding experiences and animal shows. It is very popular with families with children. Tickets start at about IDR 100,000, and weekends are crowded. It is located east of the city on the Bengawan Solo riverbank, about 5 km from the city center.
