Taman Mini Indonesia Indah
The ‘Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park', as it rather nattily translates, is an interesting and unusual diversion. Opened in 1975 this sprawling 100-hectare park has a series of cable cars and shuttle buses to help those that don't come with their own cars get around. There is a pavilion for each of Indonesia's provinces with the highlight Java's mini-Borobudur. There are also regular cultural performances on site. The park is perhaps the most enjoyable of Soeharto's grand projects.

Ragunan Zoo
For those who don't have time to head east to Komodo National Park itself, this is a great place to see the famous dragons in the flesh. Another highlight are the equally fearsome Java tigers. Opened as long ago as 1864, the zoo closed temporarily a few years ago after a bird flu scare, but is now open for business again.
