Dunia Fantasi
Dufan, short for Dunia Fantasi, is nestled in a sprawling complex that also features a beautiful beach I mentioned before. It's the largest amusement park in Indonesia, or at least it feels that way to me. There's also Trans Studio in Makassar and Bandung, but I haven't had the chance to visit those yet, so I can't say for sure. Spending an entire day at Dufan offers a refreshing escape from Jakarta's hustle and bustle. For many Indonesians living outside Java, visiting Dufan is like a dream fulfilled. Personally, a day spent here with friends promises endless excitement and laughter. Just a tip: avoid weekends if you can, as the crowds can get overwhelming. For thrill-seekers, Dufan offers a variety of rides that cater to all levels of adventure. From adrenaline-pumping roller coasters to more laid-back attractions, there's something for everyone. The park is not just about rides, though; it also hosts entertaining shows and parades that add to the magical atmosphere. For food lovers, there are plenty of local and international options to satisfy your cravings. A day at Dufan is not just an amusement park visit, it's an unforgettable experience!
