Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This place is incredible! Amazing graffiti and derelict buildings. Great for photography. The graffiti is evolving and much of it is new this year. The old ticket booth has a guy selling actual tickets and the opposite booth was selling cold drinks.
The vibe gets spookier the further in you go!

I think I would love the place if it was like it was described in other comments, but when I came (on August 10th 2023) from the back access that I found I quickly faced a backhoe loader and its operator: the site was under demolition... Maybe I started with the wrong part of the place, but maybe this place won't stand longer as a spot for urbex.

Was worth a look, but wouldn’t need more than 30 minutes here.
Amazing to see it has just gone to ruin and left after 20 years vacant.
Great mural graffiti artworks if you are into that sort of thing.
Be careful though- you will be eaten alive by mosquitoes, even after you have sprayed aeroguard! Take extra

Pay the non-English speaking gatekeeper $20k who attempts to warns you in broken English about the snakes, bats and local gangs that lurk in and around the haunted site. The remains of the abandoned amusement park is now home to ephemeral graffiti entwined with jungle vines and moss, that creates the intrigue of what once was. Wonderful photo opportunities for art lovers, this would make an amazing film set. Best visited in a couple, just in case one of you gets spooked by a flying creature (like I did!)

Taman Festival Bali, Padang Galak
BEAUTIFUL AND CREEPY Abandoned Abandoned theme park from the 1990s is located in Sanur Bali Indonesia that became a ghost town.
It is surrounded by jungle and trees taking over the structures. Now it has graffiti decorating its structures, graffiti park now.
It is said it was struck by lightning on Friday 13th and had financial and land issues they couldn’t come back from it.
It is said that the Balinese people believe this abandoned site is occupied by spirits and thought to be one of the most haunted places in Bali, attracting spirits from all over the island.
They say it’s a ghost town and there are spirits in there. I believe in that and when you go you can feel an eerie vibe for sure.
Wow, what an unbelievable place. I was overwhelmed by the amazing and incredible graffiti art.
I went during the day and happy I did... lol
I was the only one there and I started to creep myself out. The property is huge and lots of areas to explore.
WEAR Shoes are better than sandals as there is a lot of broken glass and titles.
The men at the gate were very friendly. The one-man says he stays there and will share stories with you. I love the locals they are always so friendly and willing to chat with you.
I paid $2 for a fee and could park my scooter right there. It’s very casual and not a formal ticket booth
Highly recommended during the light.. lol

Beach fee $2,000/ person
Entrance fee $20,000/person
Lots of fun and interesting art work.
We took flash lights to see better in the upstairs in the theatre and walking through parts by the mountain.
Lots of mosquitos take bug spray.

It was such a cool place to explore. It wasn't scary like we expected. But more like extremely impressed with all the graffiti and buildings. There's an entrance fee 20K IDR and that makes it feel even safer. And there are no people around, so it's a real adventure.

We had Bakso across the park first before entering. There's a guard sitting at the entrance collecting money. Typical! Putting a table there and making money out of smth that he probably didn't even contribute to =.=
Anyways there is a ramp at the right side of the building at the front, we quietly walked up and you will see like a green creature graffiti. Go towards the right and walk straight in, you will come out into an area ahead of the guard. He might still be able to see you so quietly walk towards the left, pass his station then take like a path down and continue exploring.
I guess we were lucky that he was pacing and not just sitting at his table, made it easier to sneak pass him. Anyways there are lots of graffitis/artworks that probably looks nothing related to the amusement park.
Make sure you wear shoes, some part of the ground is wet and disgusting.
Some areas that are not touched by sunlight feels extra creepy.
There was one group of foreigners when we were there, either than that you have the whole place to yourself.
For me if I would have paid the entrance fee, I would have felt that it was not worth it at all no matter how cheap.

Google History: (Costing a whopping $100 million to build, the park was to feature Bali’s biggest swimming pool, an inverted roller coaster, a 3D cinema and an exciting laser show. However, for ambiguous reasons, the park never opened its doors.) Apparently no one really knows why? Year around 1998.
There is really not much left to see. Only shells of walls & buildings floor tiles ripped up, statutes destroyed (except for 2 dragons). You can see it was something once but what a shame. My son told me it was free to go in but I was happy to pay locals 20,000 Rp. $2 Aus to go in. Great spot near the beach but so much growth even inside many buildings. Bats flying around some of them but you can certainly see it was a grand place once. In 20 years it is pretty much totally destroyed. I was there for around 90 minutes. Still worth a look see. But make sure you have shoes (not sandals or thongs) too much glass & rubble laying around.

We thought this abandoned animal theme park really was worth a visit. It has a very special vibe to it and had some great street art/graffiti as well. Some local guys are asking an entrance fee (25.000 IDR/pp), which is kind of illegal but we really didn't want to start arguing.

Is it Safe to go ?

Yes. This location is not difficult to enter and the buildings are a beauty of decay, refurbished by various artists with their graffiti or murals. This location is open to the public, after a 20k entrance.

what's the deal with that man made looking mountain in the middle - is there a way up or is it hollow?

I wouldn't go climbing it. It's pretty overgrown and partially hollow. I wouldn't trust it not to collapse!

No more crocodiles there, they were taken away 6 years by JAAN (Jakarta animal network) after the park went bankrupt and closed its door to the public.
The only "dangerous" wild animals there are... mosquitoes ;))
Any crocs around there

We did not see any, and the security guard did not mention them. Urban legend is that they were just left behind, and are still there. We read that when they abandoned the park they left the crocodiles there, but later these were rescued and transferred elsewhere.
There is a really swampy looking area, but you would not want to get in there anyway.
Any crocs around there
