  • Opening hours: 09.00-15.00
How much is the entrance fee?
  • IDR 5000 (adults), kids & college students get cheaper rates.
Can we take photos/videos?
  • YES.
Are there any guided tours?
  • Nothing official, but you can ask a museum staff to give you a tour. As long as he's not busy, he'd be happy to guide you.
Anything else for consideration?
  • Although it's a cemetery, it wasn't scary at all. When I visited it, I was literally the only visitor around... There was a cat and 3 museum staff, and that was it. But I survived and enjoyed it very much.
  • So if you heard any not-so-positive rumors about this place... Don't take it seriously and please, reserve your judgments until after you've visited the place.

If there's anything else you'd like to know, post it on the comment box or tweet me at @redpacker101. I'll help in any way I can.

Enjoy the trip to the oldest cemetery park in Indonesia! :)
