Taman Mini Indonesia Indah travel guide

Understand

In the 1970s, the then first lady Tien Soeharto envisioned a park to present and preserve the diversity of Indonesia's 27 (now 38) provinces. What results now is an amusement park with different buildings, and detailed information about each province's cultures, museums, theatres (an IMAX and a performing arts), and a children's park.

Getting there

By plane 1 Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK IATA) is 20 kilometres (12 miles) north-west of the capital city Jakarta, in the neighbouring city of Tangerang, and handles most commercial flights in Indonesia. This airport, along with transportation options to and from the airport, is covered in its own article, Soekarno Hatta International Airport. 2 Halim Perdanakusuma Airport (HLP IATA) is smaller and much closer to the TMII because it is in East Jakarta (the same district as TMII), but served fewer domestic scheduled flights than Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, in addition to its use by the Indonesian military. After arrival in Jakarta, you can choose a wide range transportation options explained below to reach Taman Mini Indonesia Indah. TMII is a vast area, so it is advisable to leave your belongings at your hotel or lodge, or renting a car before visiting this attraction.

By car or bike TMII is located within Indonesia's capital city, Jakarta, so it is mostly accessible by any ground transportation; you can even order online ride hailing via Gojek or Grab.

By bus If you are coming from West Jakarta, take the Transjakarta BRT Line (Pluit - Pinang Ranti). Get off at the Makasar BRT stop. Continue your journey by walking to Gate 3 of TMII, or by online ride hailing (Gojek or Grab). The distance is 2 kilometres (1.2 miles), with a travel time of only 10 minutes. If you are coming from South Jakarta, you can take Transjakarta Line 7D (Tegal Parang - TMII). From the Makasar BRT stop, you can also take angkot KWK T 01 towards Bambu Apus, or KWK T 02 towards Cilangkap from the front west side of Tamini Square Mall, then get off in front of Gate 1 TMII.

By train The Jabodebek LRT Cibubur Line has a stop named TMII station, close to the theme park. From the TMII station, take a free shuttle bus to the theme park's main pedestrian entrance. The shuttle bus runs every 15-20 minutes. For those who come from Bekasi, take the train to Jakarta Kota.

Getting around

Get around the park by mini shuttle bus, gondola, or cycle rental.

Using Skylift (cable car), you can enjoy the beauty of the TMII from above. This ride was operated for the first time at the inauguration of TMII, and until now it's still one of the favourite rides in TMII. There are three skylift stations: Station A, near Keong Mas IMAX Theatre, Sasana Kriya, and Kong Miao Confucian Temple Station B, near Istana Anak-Anak Indonesia, Papua pavilion, East Timor Museum, and Science Center Station C, near the parking building, Indonesia Museum, and Panggung Candi Bentar Using mini shuttle buses (angkutan keliling), it uses electric-powered minibuses that covers most of the park's attractions, including pavilions of Indonesian provinces and museums. The service is available in two corridors: North corridor, stopping at: Gerbang TIC - Anjungan Aceh - Anjungan Terpadu - Taman Burung - Community Center - Museum Penerangan - Anjungan Jambi South corridor, stopping at: Gerbang TIC - Anjungan Jawa Timur - Anjungan Sulawesi Tenggara - Taman Burung - PP IPTEK - Museum Migas - Museum Transportasi - Fresh Water Aquarium - Taman Legenda Keong Mas Rent a cycle for Rp 15,000 (single seat) or Rp 25,000 (double seat), per hour. TMII actually has an electric-powered people mover train called Garuda Kencana Tram Mover, an elevated train that used to loop around the park in a 3.2 kilometres (2.0 miles) system. This system has six stations across TMII. It used to be operated with aeromovel (wind-powered trains) named Titihan Samirono, later retro-fitted with diesel engines in 2019. They were replaced by new electric-powered trains trialed during the park's revitalization in 2022. However, after TMII was publicly reopened in 2023, the system reopening trial was suspended until now as of 2025.
