i think if in 1990 era it's excellent, but if compare Siam Ocean World Bangkok now, this need major renovation to make same level. No sign make visitor get loss in Ancol. If you satisfied with local-rural people visitor it enough, but for international tourist i think its too old.

When I went there, there were 8 sharks (White tip, Grey reef adn black tip), swimming around in the tank. It was good, okay if you want to see them closer. However, the tank was too small for 8 sharks swimming around.

Sharks and dolphins are meant to be in the sea, freely, especially dolphins, they're not meant to play tricks for people's entertainment and not meant to be kept in a tiny pool (comparing to their habitat, of course) with hundreds of people making noise, they rely on their sonar, for God's sake!

If you want to find a break from mall to mall visit in Jakarta, Sea World is one of the places to go. Especially during 17 August, the Independence Day in Sea World was memorable, I was sitting in front of the shark aquarium with my good friend, these sharks are the non harmful type and the size was not...

We can see a lot of under water creatures here. But the place quickly bored you. All the foods and drinks sold here are quite expensive. So you better bring you own beverage especially if you bring your kids.

Although the attraction centre looks small but it is impressive at the main entrance. For those tourists who are the first timer to watch interesting collections of fish and sea creatures, it is worth to tour the Sea World, and closer look at the sea creatures. My wife and I went there on Monday, and so it was easy and... More
