The map of family venues in Jakarta has refreshed in the past 18 months, with several new openings and a wave of programme refreshes in malls across South and Central Jakarta. The list below is a where-to-go guide, organised by venue rather than by category. For the longer, established list across indoor, nature, sport, and culture, the 35 things to do with kids in Jakarta guide is a useful companion.

The new and recently refreshed

Twelve venues that have either opened, expanded, or significantly refreshed in the past year and a half.

New opening

Kiztopia

Agora Mall, Thamrin · Ages 2 to 12

The first Indonesia site of the Singapore indoor-play brand. Twenty-two themed zones across ball pits, slides, role-play stations, and structured movement areas. Strong on motor skills and social play, with party packages for weekend bookings.

New opening

Pororo Park

Pondok Indah Mall 2, Level 5 · Ages 2 to 8

Korean-cartoon-themed soft play, designed around Pororo the Penguin. Petty's Jungle Gym, Crong's Trampoline, Loopy's Kitchen, and a daily live Pororo show. The cleanest soft-play option in PIM, best for toddlers and early primary.

Refreshed

SuperPark Indonesia

Pondok Indah Mall 2 · Ages 5 to 14

Finnish-designed indoor activity park, refreshed in 2025 with new stations. Three arenas (Game, Adventure, Freestyle) covering trampolines, climbing walls, pedal cars, and a flying-fox style zipline. The go-to for burning energy on a rainy Saturday.

Refreshed

Houbii Urban Adventure Park

Pondok Indah Mall 3 · Ages 6 plus and teens

Ropes course, ninja-warrior obstacles, parkour walls, and deep foam pits. Houbii is the venue for older children and tweens who have outgrown soft play, and one of the few that holds the attention of teenagers.

New opening

Snow World

Revo Town, Bekasi · Ages 4 to 10

Real snow at sub-zero temperatures, in a fully kitted-out indoor space. Sledging, snowman building, ice slides, and snowball fights. A novelty visit rather than a regular: rent the jackets at the door and stay around an hour.

Refreshed

Jakarta Aquarium and Safari

Neo Soho, West Jakarta · All ages

Indonesia's largest indoor "living planet." Coral, mangrove, and river zones with a 4D theatre and rotating mermaid and pearl-diver shows. Family-friendly dining inside the exhibit. Best paired with an early afternoon visit to avoid the post-school rush.

Refreshed

Bounce Street Asia

Kuningan City Mall · Ages 6 plus

Trampoline park with foam pits, basketball hoops, dodgeball courts, climbing walls, and a ninja course. Sock requirement is strict (grip socks sold at the door). Birthday party rooms book up two to three weeks ahead.

New programme

ASHTA District 8 (SPAC8)

Senopati, SCBD · Calmer family outings

Less a kids' venue, more a cultured family afternoon. Rooftop garden, free reading space, rotating art workshops, and dining across the connected restaurants. Particularly good for families with one toddler and one tween who need different things.

Refreshed

Playtopia Adventure

Senayan Park and Pondok Indah Mall 1 · Ages 4 to 10

Refreshed in late 2025 with a new water-coaster zone, giant slides, and walk-in bubble pools. A step up from standard soft play, with longer attention-holding for primary-aged children.

Expanded

Ganara Art Studio

Wijaya V, Kebayoran Baru (plus PIM 2, Kemang, ASHTA) · All ages

Ganara has expanded to four locations across South Jakarta. Pottery wheel and hand-building, painting, and structured sensory classes for younger children. Drop-in slots most weekends, plus structured term programmes for regulars.

Refreshed

Moja Museum

Senayan, GBK · Ages 5 plus

Retro roller-skating rink combined with rotating interactive art installations. Skates included with entry. Strong as a half-day outing for a child plus visiting cousins or a small birthday group.

New programme

Jungle Padel Kids Academy

Lebak Bulus (Adhyaksa) · Ages 6 plus

Padel courts with a dedicated Kids Academy. Easier to pick up than tennis, and one of the few sports in Jakarta where the whole family can play together inside an hour. Weekend coaching slots fill the fastest.

Worth knowing before you go

  • Grip socks. Required at almost every indoor play venue. SuperPark, Houbii, Bounce, Pororo, and Playtopia all sell them at the door, but it is cheaper to carry your own.
  • Pre-registration. Tebet Eco Park requires the JAKI app. Some RPTRA city parks have weekend caps.
  • Booking ahead. Pororo Park, KidZania, SuperPark, and Bounce all run birthday packages. Weekend slots book up three to four weeks ahead.
  • Memberships. SuperPark, Houbii, and Bounce all run multi-visit and sibling passes that pay back inside three to four visits.
  • Pondok Indah Mall as a base. PIM 1, 2, and 3 are connected and air-conditioned. A morning at SuperPark, lunch, an afternoon at Pororo or Houbii, and you have not crossed a road.

Where ISJ families live

Most ISJ families live in Pondok Indah, Kemang, Cilandak, or Pejaten, which puts them inside the densest cluster of family venues in the city. For the longer list of established options, the 35 things to do with kids in Jakarta guide is a useful companion to this one. Wider context for families settling in sits in the cost of living guide, the guide to Jakarta neighbourhoods, and the expat contact list. For school-specific questions, the contact page is the easiest route.
