DuFan: All Things You Need to Know

-

What is DuFan?

Dunia Fantasi or in short DuFan (read: do fun), is an amusement park located inside Ancol Dreamland, in North Jakarta City. Ancol had been there since the 1970s, based on what mom said she remembered, when she was 5, she once had gone to the Ancol beach and the swimming pool. 

DuFan in English may be called "Fantasy World". The theme park itself had been operating since 1984 (source Wikipedia). Despite its age, still there are a lot of people vlogging the rides, meaning this theme park is still quite popular up until now. I had played there several times before pandemic, and once during the pandemic (off course when the case number considered low). To me, this place is one of the best attractions in Jakarta. Yes, where else you can go other than shopping malls and restaurants if you are Jakartans. 

How to get to DuFan?

If you are by car and are around the area, you can take taxis to DuFan's Location (Google Maps) 

You can take TransJakarta (Bus Rapid Transit). Here is the route map. You will need Google Maps for this to make sure you get into the Ancol Station. It would seem far from DuFan, once you get there, you can find any Ancol's staffs there and ask for DuFan's location. There is an internal bus of Ancol called Wara Wiri, it will take you to DuFan. I personally never take any public transportation, since having a private car is way much easier, but I had planned going there with my classmates. We never go there since it took us too long and no one could drive at that time.  
I found Moovit, a great website which is describing on how to get there by public transportation. 

All the tickets you need to buy

GOOD NEWS IS, YOU CAN BUY THESE TICKETS ONLINE! https://www.ancol.com/tiket
Firstly, you need to create an account, fill up forms, just follow the instructions given. There are in English. 
Next, you can select the date of your visit. 
Payment you will need Indonesian cards, but I think you can also pay through convenience store cashiers (apologize, because I never tried this payment).  


Ancol Dreamland Main Gate
  1. Car's ticket. Per car cost IDR 25,000. If you visit Ancol with your private car. 
  2. Personal's ticket. Per person cost IDR 50,000.  

Dunia Fantasi Ticket
There are 2 types of ticket offered. 
  1. Regular Ticket. Once a lifetime enjoy DuFan
  2. Annual Pass. Unlimited visit DuFan for a year!
It would be better if you see their promotion and event page, sometimes you will get good deals. You can also buy Ticket Bundle on Tokopedia.

Restaurants inside DuFan

Finding restaurants in DuFan is not hard, but since the visitors number is larger than the seats available in the restaurants in each areas (based on what I saw, this is not by data). I suggest you to get in the restaurant before 11.30 am.  
  • McDonalds
  • Yoshinoya
  • Afung (Meatballs)


Reasons why I make this blog

I saw a lot of Indonesian bloggers, writing about DuFan but in Indonesian language. I am quite aware that most of the tourist must know this amusement park from our Government's Travel website. And also saw some other private travel company websites, explaining what you can do in Ancol Dreamland. Yet, I haven't seen any specific blog explaining details about getting to DuFan. If you are travelling with your family, specifically not travelling with tourist guide, you might need this kind of blog, which I wrote it based on my experience. 

Last update: March 2022. I will keep you updated.
