Are you currently searching for an outdoor adventure and culinary experience located in the heart of the city? If so, consider visiting Taman Budaya Sentul City, or the Cultural Park situated in the Sentul City area of Bogor. Sarah Fadrin, the Public Relations representative for Taman Budaya Sentul City, stated that the uniqueness of this park lies in its combination of outdoor activities, adventure experiences, and culinary tourism, which is quite rare. Furthermore, the cafes within Taman Budaya Sentul City feature diverse concepts, offering cuisines from Bali, Japan, Italy, and various Indonesian regions. "We aim to be a culinary tourism destination that also offers adventure activities. It is uncommon to find a place that provides both adventure and culinary experiences; most culinary tourism options are typically limited to food courts," she remarked during a conversation with Kompas.com on Tuesday, July 12, 2022. In general, she continued, this tourist destination in Sentul, which has been established since 1994, promotes the concept of an edutainment center alongside culinary tourism. As an edutainment center, Taman Budaya offers adventure and outdoor activities for children and adults alike, as well as cultural tourism. Taman Budaya Sentul City is established on an area of six hectares, accommodating up to 3,000 visitors. In total, Taman Budaya features 21 children's play attractions, 12 adventure and outbound activities for teenagers and adults, and over 39 tenants. "Taman Budaya was recognized as the largest outbound tourism destination in Indonesia in 2011. However, it is currently regarded as the largest outbound tourism site in the Greater Jakarta area," he stated. Another advantage of Taman Budaya is its central location, situated in the heart of Sentul City, Bogor. "Geographically, the Cultural Park is located in the heart of Sentul City, making it a popular destination for visitors from Bogor and Jakarta who wish to experience a mountainous atmosphere while remaining in the city," he stated. Due to its location within Sentul City, the Cultural Park is in close proximity to various amenities, including shopping centers, hospitals, schools, and universities. Additionally, the Cultural Park offers cool air and stunning views of the hills and Mount Salak. Facilities of the Cultural Park Generally, the facilities at the Cultural Park are categorized into amusement rides, adventure and outbound activities, culinary tourism, multifunctional rooms, and an amphitheater. Below are the details: 1. The amusement rides are designed for child visitors. Taman Budaya features over 21 rides that children can enjoy with their families, including ATV, mini rickshaws, ponies, a kids' playground, and more. 2. Adventure or outbound rides There are 12 adventure attractions available for children and adults at Taman Budaya. These include high ropes, flying fox, archery, target shooting, paintball, forest hiking, waterfall hiking, off-roading, and others. Specifically for the outbound high ropes, Sarah mentioned that Taman Budaya offers varying levels of difficulty suitable for children, teenagers, and adults. "Of course, the outbound attractions at Taman Budaya are supervised by staff certified by the National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP)," she stated. 3. Culinary tourism (cafe hopping) Taman Budaya boasts over 39 culinary tourism tenants, commonly referred to as cafe hopping. Interestingly, these culinary experiences are themed around various cultures, including Balinese, Japanese, Italian, and local Indonesian. 4. The multifunctional room consists of four areas, including the main pavilion, outdoor pavilion, open court, and Anyelir Room. These multifunctional spaces can be utilized for meetings, community gatherings, and even weddings. 5. The Cultural Park also features an amphitheater, which is an open field designed with modern aesthetics. This amphitheater is intended for communal viewing events. Additionally, it is surrounded by Instagram-worthy cafes. "This place is perfect for relaxing with family and friends while enjoying the natural beauty of Sentul City in a modern or aesthetic design," Sarah added. 6.
