Jawa Timur Park, Amusement park in Batu City, Indonesia.
Jawa Timur Park is a complex of three parks in Batu, East Java. Jatim Park 1, at Jalan Kartika No. 2, has 36 attractions, including a giant swimming pool backed by statues of Ken Dedes, Ken Arok and Mpu Gandring, a spinning coaster and a drop zone. Jatim Park 2, at Jalan Oro-oro Ombo No. 9, holds the Museum Satwa, Batu Secret Zoo and Pohon Inn Hotel. Jatim Park 3, in Beji, Junrejo, features a dinosaur park, the Museum Musik Dunia and The Legend Stars.
Paul Sendjojo opened the first section in 2001, transforming a rural area into a popular destination for families across Java. The two additional parks followed in the years after, expanding the offer from rides alone to educational and nature experiences.
The park group takes its theme from the Punakawan, the four clown-servants of Javanese wayang: Semar, Gareng, Petruk and Bagong, whose humility, cleverness and laughter the founders cite as their model. Jatim Park 3 adds a Wisata Budaya 5 Zaman area, with houses built in the architectural styles of different countries and periods.
The complex sits on the edge of Batu town and is reachable by public minibus or taxi, with each zone requiring separate admission. Morning and early afternoon tend to be quieter before local groups and school parties arrive late morning.
The second park section houses the largest museum of human anatomy in Southeast Asia, with preserved specimens and models showing organ systems and developmental stages. The collection came together through collaboration with medical institutes and serves both school groups and curious visitors who want to understand the human body better.
