Arnandra Notes: Taman Balekambang: Refreshing Park in Solo

Today, I went to send my customer's orders. After send the goods, I actually want to get some cold drinks, but however, I stranded in Taman Balekambang together with my husband.

In Taman Balekambang, you just need $0.1 for two people to pay the entrance ticket. I was surprised because it is cheaper than I thought.

Taman Balekambang is park located on Jl. Ahmad Yani, Solo (or Surakarta). Formerly it was named Pertinah Bosch and founded by Mangkunegara relatives. Then named Bale Kambang, because in that park there are fishpond and swimming pool in the center of it, and a comfortable rest house, surrounded by beautiful flower garden. This place there are also Bale Kambang Traditional Ketoprak Building and cafe managed by young artists of Surakarta. It is combination of traditional and modern art in one location which make them an unique one. - wisatasolo.com

After paying for the ticket, both of us park our vehicle in the parking lot and then start to walk around the park. There are so many trees there, and surprisingly, there are wild animals, too!

The animals there are free walking around the park. Not only deers, but there are also ducks, birds, etc. err..don't expect a lion there ;p

This place is suitable for people who wants to refresh their mind and body from daily activity. The air is fresh and it will make your lungs free from city's pollution. You can walk around the park or just sit on the benches there. You can buy drinks and snacks on the mini shop there if you want to.

Here are some pictures and videos when I was on Taman Balekambang.
