Batu Night Spectacular (BNS)

Now Batu has a theme park, where people could bring their family to enjoy the ride, food and entertainment. The location is next to Jatim Park II at Oro Oro Ombo village around 45 minutes from Malang. It opens at 18:00, because they have many beautiful lights shining on every corner of the park. At weekend it's very crowded, you should come earlier unless you would have difficulty to park your car. You need to pay for the entrance fee cost Rp. 12.500,- at weekend or Rp. 7.500,- at weekdays.


I went there with my friends alumnus of St Maria Kediri elementary school. Although we're not children anymore, we enjoyed to ride some of the play. You have to pay for each play. Alibaba was my first ride, it's not too scary, just sitting on the bench contains of 2 rows and 2 columns, each bench could accomodate 4 persons. The bench would move slowly in ellipse vertically, then becoming faster and faster. When it's on the top, I tried to take picture, but the result was not good, it's shaking.


The next ride was flying chair, actually I didn't dare to take the right, but my friend convinced me that it's relax and fun. I pushed myself to try it. We sat on the chair with bare foot, because no stand at all for the feet. The chair backrest was also so low, you only could hold on the chain which hung the chair on the four corner. Each passenger sat on the chair one by one on a circle. When it's started, it's quite frightening, because your feet were flying without anything to stand. The movement became faster and faster, we flew on the chair in a circle. It's scary but also fun. When it stopped, 2 of my friends said that they won't ride it anymore, they're dreaded, even one of them closed his eyes when riding it.


There were some other riding that I didn't try such as ski ring road, crazy bike (turn the passenger upside down vertically, very scary), bom bom car, carousel, trampolin, gokart racing and some other play for children. If you would like to see the theme park from the height, you could ride a sky bike contains of 2 persons. You should paddle it to move faster on one rail to go around the park. You could turn the vehicle 360 degree to be able exploring the scenery.


Our next destination was lampion (paper lantern) garden, at weekend it cost Rp.10.000,-/person to enter. There were very colorful and beautiful. We welcome by animal band group lantern at the left side. In the middle there was a shell contains of pearl decorated with fountain and "lampion garden" letter bended above the orange shell. Continue walking through the path, you would find many kind of fish at the left and right of the aisle, such as aquarium. We kept taking pictures on the different decoration.


There was big "LOVE" decoration, my friend wanted to take picture with his wife, to make him look taller he stood on the sidewalk while his wife on the lower road. We took group photo here to express our feeling of our friendship :-) We had to be patient waiting for the street empty of people that almost impossible on the weekend.


Snow white and the dwarf with the castle were in the garden too. My friend's daughter was enjoying to become a model. When I took the scenery, suddenly she had appeared in the middle of my camera focus. She's so fast and her pose was nice to see. There was also a stage with life music from keyboard, and a magician was playing beside the stage. If you are thirsty or hungry, there was cafe which provided food and drink.


A wide pool full of goose, duck and lotus lantern with Eifel tower as the background was very beautiful. There was also some big flowers and tree lantern. A colorful air baloon was the highest lantern beside the Eifel. There were some benches with beautiful heart lantern as the background, it's suitable for the couple to take pictures.


Outside lampion garden, there's also ghost house with guard wearing skeleton clothes. A glass house with maze path was free to entrance. If you want heavy meal, you could have it outside the lampion garden, some restaurants such as Bethany were welcome you or if you want more various food, there was a foodcourt.
