  • Well organised, we got a taxi to the carpark and then you get on a free shuttle bus to the place. Go in and turn left to the ticket office. Ticket it 125k which isn't bad to get in. Little shops on...

  • I saw this from the plane on a hazy day while landing in Bali on Feb 2020 just ahead of covid. It looked to me in the haze that there had been a fire and I was seeing smoke off to the south...

  • I have to mention, that most of this place was closed due to the G20 summit, so my review is only based on the things that were open at the time. It's a really pretty park, with some nice surroundings. The monument or statue itself is great and all, and they have some nice explanations in the ground floor, regarding the statue and how it was built. We couldn't go up the statue, and we couldn't see a lot of the other statues, due to the summit. Overall it was fine, but I think the price was too high in our case.
  • It is a very beautiful and aesthetic places to visit. But the cost of the ticket is a little steep. Also when we get inside the campus, there is a ticket. There is also a show and a museum for which we will have to pay extra bucks if we want to watch it. They should give this inclusive at the entrance or atleast inform about the same. Apart from that there is very beautiful and scenic. It is very well maintained and clean.
  • This is the first time I went to GWK, I was thinking the place is only that big statue that we can see, but I found amazing place and good made.. The place was amazing with incredible Bali dances at their theatre, but the museum was small and only 2 kinds of traditional places, Java and Balinese you can see there. Overall that was amazing and great to be there.. But when I was there, they're under construction so they said I couldn't go up to see Bali from the statue.. They said they will be finished on Dec.
  • It's a nice sized cultural park, with a lot of wide open spaces. You will initially go to the designated parking area and there will be a shuttle bus to bring you to the ticketing area (of note, if you come with a driver/guide, they can come in for free, but you still have to pay for the shuttle cost). The GWK statue is huge! It's a good photo op. Another great thing to check out is the amphitheater, which has multiple dances and musical performances every hour, highly recommended. There are multiple restaurants and food court on site, the food are just so-so, but that's to be expected in a tourist spot like this. The restroom is fairly clean, which is nice. There are multiple souvenir shops of you're interested in shopping.
  • Free shuttle around the place, tickets required for entry. The standard ticket was 125k per pax, includes welcome drinks/museum ticket. Dance performance is free as well. A few shops for souvenirs, bring your own shopping bag or u will need to buy from them. There is a Starbucks there too. Take less than 2 hours to see the place. Clean restrooms
