Eco Green Park
Green Living in Batu, East Java
Eco Green Park is a grand park mostly covered with big trees and greenery, where you can have a fun family vacation while learning about ecology and green living :)
There will be a lot of walk to explore this 6 hectare park, thus, we prefer to rent an e-bike. It is fun to ride it, although the rental is a bit expensive, Rp. 100,000 for 3 hours.

Since Eco Green Park’s motto is Fun and Study, the
attractions in this park fall into 3 types: education, games, and
exhibits.
The first exhibit is the Insectarium with the scorpions
as the welcoming party. A staff will introduce you to these scorpions.
They still look deadly although their toxic had been removed. You will
find more insects inside the insectarium, both alive and preserved. They
are all exotics in their own way.
Next you will meet a lot species of birds:
- Walking
bird such as ostrich, peacock, and stork, walking leisurely inside
their designated area. You even can take pictures with the beautiful
peacock! Unfortunately, during our visit, the white peacock habitat is
still under construction.
- Roosters and hens guiding their chicks unalarmed with the closeness to the visitors.
- So
many varieties of parrots with their distinctive colorful feathers.
Each type are put in a big cage. The rows of these cages seem endless.
We, at the ExploreSunda.com, believe the parrot collection of Eco Green
Park is the best that we have seen in Indonesia. Some birds are already
trained, so visitors can take pictures with them.
- Bird of paradise also known as Cendrawasih in Bahasa Indonesia.
- Since owls are nocturnal creatures, their exhibits are an indoor area.
- Birds of prey such as eagles.
- Several types of toucan.
- And our favorite: the duck pond! Many types of ducks and swans are swimming here and you can buy fish food to feed them :)
The second part of this park’s attractions is the learning zone, where the trained staffs will show you how to
- process animal waste into biogas or garbage into compost.
- grow strawberries and mushrooms.
- process milk.
- grow vegetables and familiarize yourselves with many vegetables you eat everyday.
In
between exhibits and learning, you will have fun playing games :) For example a car ride in The Jungle Adventure to shoot the poachers, or go on a
boat ride to kill the pests in Kendali Hama.
You also can play music by shooting waters to the instruments
installed in Music Plaza.
If your children love water so much, they also
can try the Water Outbound, where they will walk through obstacles.
Whenever they fail, they will fall to the pond and get really wet.
Another
unique attraction is Rumah Terbalik (upside down house). Everything in
this house are put up side down. Unfortunately, I felt dizzy after
awhile.
Then, you can take a relaxing ride in Eco Journey to watch
dioramas exhibiting the journey of mankind from prehistoric until
modern world.
One attraction we recommend to watch is the story of Hanoman in the Dome
Multimedia. The visitors stand in the center of the dome and the inside
walls of the dome is the screen. Then, start paying attention to the
movie, since it will take place all over the dome!
Tired of
exploring the park? You can take a break at the food court. Most of the
time you will be entertained watching some performances, such as dancing
and singing. In addition, there are several snack shops scattered around
the park.
Whenever you pass any decoration in the Eco Green
Park, please take a closer look. You might be surprised with the
materials they are made of. For example, the elephant made of broken
televisions and the dragon made of used water bottles.
