A fun place to spend 30 - 45 minutes. This is an Indonesian submarine (but Russian built). You can explore all the way from front to back, press the buttons, turn the knobs, gaze through the periscope, and climb in to the torpedo tubes. All while posing for tons of silly photos. More

All can be done within 30 minutes and you've seen it all Basically, it's just an old, antique sub on display and the interior is nothing really to shout about, probably like visiting a museum Kids might be impressed , though It could have been better if they provide background sound-effect of the sea, engine noise and crew communication to...
