Rides, Cinemas, and Theaters in
Taman Mini Indonesia Indah

There are 2 cinemas in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, they are unique in their own way.

The first cinema in TMII is Keong Emas IMAX Theater. You can find it easily since it has the shape of a giant golden snail. This is the first IMAX in Indonesia. Watching movies in this theater will make you feel as if you were in the movie itself, you will feel like you are flying in the air like a bird, or suddenly hit the brake in a fast moving car. 

Most of the movies here tell about Indonesian cultures and natures, but sometimes they also provide box office movies. Several years ago I watched Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban here, it was awesome!

Unfortunately, it doesn't update its list of movies nor its hard seats. It still runs a 90s movie where they still used floppy disks! 

Taman Mini Indonesia Indah also has a 4D Motion Cinema. You must wear special spectacles to watch the movie. Then you will feel as if you were in the movie, plus you also can feel the wind, rain, and some fragrances. Afterwards, you can go to Wonder Adventure on the back of the building to do some outbound activities.

Taman Legenda Keong Emas [The garden of the Golden Snail legend] is located next to the Keong Emas IMAX Cinema. Since the IMAX is in the shape of the golden snail [more commonly known as mystery snail or common apple snail with a scientific name of Pomacea bridgeseli], this garden was built to complement the Keong Emas IMAX. Hence, you will see the statues in this garden depict the legend of Keong Emas, a famous Indonesian folklore from East Java. 

Now this garden has been expanded to include a small theme park: a dinosaur zone where you can see some famous dinos, several children rides and a swimming pool. However, you must pay additional tickets for each of the zone or ride you take.

Istana Anak-Anak Indonesia is also known as The Indonesian Children Palace in English.

It looks different from other buildings in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah since it looks like a Cinderella castle with two wings and a high tower, but in the inside it exhibits wayang (Indonesian puppet) and various Indonesian traditional games. It also has diatonic and pentatonic musical instruments. Your children will enjoy exploring and participating in games, either inside the palace or in the front yard as well as the back yard.

Children also can take rides in several outdoor attractions, such as monorail, bumper car, kiddy boat, fancy animal, airplane and ball pool. It even has a children swimming pool! But you must buy tickets for each attraction.

If your children interested in dancing or singing, there are weekly courses of Indonesian traditional dances and vocal here. They even have courses on pedalangan (the story teller in wayang puppet show) and Karawitan Jawa (singing in Javanese language). All courses are for children.

However, as of March 2021, this place is still closed for renovation.
