Ragunan Zoological Park is a zoo that is located in the area of Ragunan, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, Indonesia. The zoo covers 135 hectare of beautiful, shady gardens. It was officially opened in 1864 in Cikini and moved to its present location in the southern suburbs of Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta in 1966.
Ragunan is a home to over 260 species of animals (including many of which are endangered and threatened) from all parts of Indonesia and the rest of the world. There are a total of 3122 animals including birds for the viewing pleasure of the public. These exhibits also serve to help zoo officials in the preservation and propagation of Indonesian Wildlife.
Special attractions for the children include a Children's Zoo and playground, along with the Sunday events of elephant, pony cart and boat rides. Watching the Orang Utans on their daily tour of the zoo grounds in a pony cart is a special treat for visitors of all ages. Restaurant facilities and picnic shelters are available for your convenience as well as stands for purchasing film and souvenirs of the zoo. It's a wonderful place for an outing and will become an experience which will raise your awareness of Indonesia's unique wildlife heritage.

Ragunan Zoological Park became one of the favourite tourist attractions during the holiday season that could be visited minimal 10 thousand people each day during the holiday. You don 't have to worry that it would be really crowded there because the area of Ragunan is really wide and the beautiful garden will not make the visitor feel bored But, I suggest you if you're visiting Ragunan you better wear comfort shoes so you won't feel tired during the walk in the wide area of Ragunan Zoological Park
So, if you come to Jakarta don't forget to come and spend a day with the family or friends at Ragunan Zoological Park.
