If you have even the slightest interest in Indonesian culture, Taman Nusa is a must see! The 35k rupiah seemed a lot, but better than the rip-off we had at Bali Zoo yesterday. There are approx 60 buildings re-assembled here from all parts of the island chain. All authentic too, some in better repair than others, but a great selection. Most tickets include dressing up for a photo in Indonesian costume, AND Balinese dancing, AND making a small batik print which you can take home, AND making your own keyholder - again, same deal, AND a free drink half way round the course, so what is there to not like? The only surprise was that it wasn't jam packed with people, but it was the off season. Basically, a great half day out and a place I'd definitely recommend!

This park is a great way to have an overview of the Indonesian culture throughout the ages. At the end of the visit, we were treated with the scenic view of a cliff, overlooking verdant rice terraces and Melangit River. Taman Nusa is located in Gianyar’s Sidan village, about 45 minutes away from Ubud center. Visit my Instagram (IG: kelledstyle) for more pictures :)

This was the second time my husband and I visited Taman Nusa. This time we went with our daughter and son-in-law who enjoyed it as much as we did. Taman Nusa is a cultural park containing about 60 actual houses from different parts of Indonesia, and is a good introduction to Indonesia’s diversity.
The brochure says it takes about two hours to see the park, but it took us about four hours because we took lots of photos.
Our impressions are as follows:
The park needs to do more marketing so that people know about it. During our time there, we only saw a few other people, who were also tourists like us.
There should be better signage - perhaps numbers at each building that correspond to the map given at admission. We had planned to have lunch there, but couldn’t find the restaurant.
Upon entering the park, there is a small museum that has artifacts from different parts of Indonesia. There should be more explanation about the major islands and the culture of the people who live on them, and what the artifacts are used for.
There needs to be a gift shop so that visitors can purchase some of the unique crafts from all over Indonesia, not just those from Bali.
The park has been open for about five years, and some of the buildings need maintenance. If more people attended and paid admission fees, there would be more working capital for maintenance items.
We appreciated that there were plenty of toilets scattered throughout the park. They were clean and Western-style. The small kiosks that sold drinks and snacks need a wider variety of items for sale.
We highly recommend that visitors to Bali who are interested in the diversity of Indonesia visit Taman Nusa.

Before covid it must have been a great place. I currently felt like a disaster tourist there. unfortunately, many buildings have collapsed, the place is in ruins. But I still liked it a lot and I will definitely come here when it's old again.

Really worthy to visit. It’s some sort of Indonesia in miniature. Houses from different regions of Indonesia with live performances in many of them. Restaurants, coffee... excellent place to spend time and know the culture of Indonesia

We were pleasantly surprised to see such a beautiful park in Bali.
It was set in a natural landscape where you can enjoy the local scenery as well as learning about Indonesia's rich culture in a fun, relaxing way.
There are 5 cafes where you can sit and relax. The quality of food in the main restaurant is excellent and the price is reasonable for what you get.
The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and keen to share their local customs & art works. You just need to ask and they will be glad to explain :)
Best to visit in the morning or late afternoon where it would be more pleasant to walk around.
We highly recommend Taman Nusa as a must see place in Bali.

The trip to Taman Nusa from Seminyak takes quite a while with traffic up to 1.5hours, but in my opinion it is totally worth it. The driver be is very interesting and you can get to see some of the country side on the way.
On the day we visited it was quiet, I get the sense that there are never huge crowds at this location which is a nice change in Bali. Once inside you will get a chance to see the traditional houses of each of the cultural groups from each of the Indonesian regions and learn a bit about the history of each of the cultural groups. There are multiple performers singing, dancing or playing instruments throughout the venue. Even if you are the only person they will conduct their performance. You are also offered a traditional Balinese drink....1 sip will be enough for most people, but I’m glad I tried it. You will also get a chance too see traditional rice paddies which I think were better than the usual tourist trap venues.
I found the site to be clean, well maintained with excellent staff that will explain exhibits for you. I recommend this location for anyone wanting to learn more about Indonesian culture.
The food at the onsite cafes was also very good and reasonably priced.

Taman Nusa is a great place to learn about the history and culture of Indonesia. There are replicas of the different types of houses the tribes on the different islands live in. Additionally, one can see their handicrafts, music and dance. The guides are enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. The place was surprisingly not crowded so it was a very enjoyable afternoon at a comfortable pace. We skipped the museums at the end but they looked good too. The souvenir store has pretty stuff but the staff is quite laidback which is good and bad. The food at the restaurant is ok. All in all, a great place to learn about Indonesia.

Beautiful park with amazingly knowledgable staff. Learnt so much about Indonesia - from traditional houses to culture of each area. My 5-year old loved all the interactive craft making and musical instruments. All the staff in the park were very friendly and took the time to explain/teach/chat about the areas.
The park is easily accessible - a few kms past the Safari and Marine Park, with good parking facilities. Would definitely come back to explore it a bit more!

We had a wonderful experience at Taman Nusa, Banjarangka, Bali. Such an extensive park with so much to see of the cultural heritage of Indonesia. Our special deal included a modest 2 course lunch of chicken and rice and a pudding with a large OJ for an extra $3. It was very quiet when we were there so a member of staff offered to guide us around the park, giving lots of additional information that really gave much insight into Indonesia's history, culture and architecture.
The range of Indonesian houses from all over the Indonesian islands, and from many different eras, was fascinating. There were many cultural stops with weaving, batik making, carving, music and puppetry. My favourite was the puppetmasters- they made those puppets come to life! Such skill!
Our mistake was only to allow 2 1/2 hours on the way to the airport; you need at least 4. Some areas we didn't have time to visit. One area to improve on if they want to make it a site which will attract international visitors is to put signage and information signs in English. Without our guide, we would not have gained so much insight in to Indonesia's heritage. Well worth a visit!

Hi Rose R,
As Travelled61 have said, the public transport in Bali is not well developed. We do offer a package that include pickup transportation. If you are interested, please send us an email for more information. Also you could catch a taxi or get a guide to take you to Taman Nusa. Thank you.
