The place is way overpriced for the things they offer. There’s just three statues to look at in any shows are extra after the high price you already pay to get in.. I would not recommend going looking at the pictures would have been enough for me
spur of the moment visit, hopped on a grab bike from kuta (30 min ride). got the ticket that included a guided tour at the top of the statue. good value for the money, our guide was very knowledgeable. the surrounding gardens and other statues are also very impressive.
The park is new and huge. Buggy service is a Must from my point of views. There is a scheduled tour every 15 mins. We didn’t go up since it would take us 1 hour waiting. Thunder shower keep us from discovering more detail. Staff in the park was friendly enough to help us contact our car to pickup us from getting soaked.
