Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park.
Went back for another look one year on. Did not seem to be any more work done on the statue itself. Some work going on at the shops there, though. Still 15,000 each to enter, plus 5,000 for parking, but the free drink and snack that the entrance fee included is now not available, since June this year. Still very impressive place to visit!

Reptile Park and Bird Park at Batubulan.
These were brilliant!!!! Well worth the entry fees but we did not eat at the restaurant in the bird park as the prices were ridiculous. You go into a parking area, buy your tickets for the bird park and parking. Then you can go the reptile park first if you want as they share the same parking place (but they have own charge too). Tickets were $7.50 US for each adult at each place. I don't know if children are cheaper or if they have family concessions. It was fairly quiet when we went and we got to hold iguanas and blue tongued lizards and birds. Watch the cockatoos! They will try to nick anything jewellery-wise, or whatever takes their fancy. One kept diving its beak down into daughter's cleavage. We have a great pix of one of them biting the top button off Bruce's baseball cap!
