How to Spend a Day Exploring Jakarta with Kids
Why we featured this post
Most families pass straight through Jakarta, and this post makes a strong case for giving it a day or two. The TraveLynn Family, who travel with their two boys, lay out a one-day route through the Old Town, the great mosque and cathedral, and Merdeka Square, with a theme park day as an option. It's strongest on getting around: Grab and Bluebird taxis, when to skip a bajaj, and airport transfer times, plus an honest take on why hotels there are poor value for families.
Things to do
- Visit the Wayang Museum in the Old Town
- Cross the Jembatan Kota Intan drawbridge
- Join a tour of Istiqlal Mosque
- See Monas in Merdeka Square
- Spend a day at Dufan Ancol theme park
