This is an Indonesian theme park that was closed down halfway through construction and now is abandoned by all living souls. For all those who are looking for a little spook on your holiday, Taman Festival Park is the place for you.
Scattered by the broken buildings, statues, remnants of rides and other park material and densely infested by mosquitos, spiders and probably even undiscovered bugs this is a place to be explored with care.
This is one of the options for those in search of indoor amusement parks to enjoy ad explore with your family, thus it is mentioned in the Family Travel Blog for wanders craving for mystery and excitement.
It is mostly just bare land heavily over grown with weed. The ruins of the structures such as the movie theatres, fake volcanos and roller coasters have become homes to most wildlife, such as monkeys and some weird looking bugs.
The dim insides of buildings amid the crackling noises of birds and insects are actually quite haunting. It has to be remembered that Indonesians do not visit this place, similar to any other abandoned place as it is their belief that they are housed by ghosts or evil spirits.
The centre of the park shows remains of a crocodile pit which according to legend, was dissolved when the project hampered and the crocodiles were left to be wild. There is also another crazy urban legend supposing that these crocodiles turned into cannibals.
Well these myths add into the spooky effect rippled by the park and it explains yet another reason for the disinterest shown by the locals to explore the space.
As a key tourist destination of the area, the Taman Festival Park is a fun, exciting and uniquely adventurous journey that should not be missed when visiting the Indonesian islands.
