Jakarta Aquarium

Jakarta Aquarium and its collection

Jakarta Aquarium is an aquarium in Jakarta Barat, Indonesia.

Set within the Neo Soho retail and leisure complex, it combines marine and freshwater life across nine themed zones, with mammals, reptiles and insects each numbering in the hundreds alongside Indonesian marine fish and species brought in from Africa and South America. The Rainforest of Indonesia zone lets visitors get close to a blue-and-yellow macaw and reticulated python and handle a Forsten's tortoise, blue-tongued skink and red tegu, while the Touch and Find zone's pool holds a chocolate chip sea star, bluespotted ribbontail ray and two bamboo shark species alongside a display of their eggs. Other areas include the Swirls and Jewels zone, built around a circular tank with a crawl-through tunnel into its centre, and Jellyfish Magic, whose two deep-sea tanks pair eyelight fish with popeye catalufa and longspine snipefish with Japanese pineapplefish.
