Kuntum Nurseries - Bogor

Inside the park

Hello everyone…how are we doing in this lovely November? Us…we are preparing for the final semester exam (well – it’s my girls actually – I just cheer on them and prepare piles of practice papers to them to do ha ha ha). We are so looking forward to the year-end holiday – though we have no plan set for it until now except spending few nights after the exam out of town with family. But in case you are starting to wonder where to go for the December holiday…nothing far but yet perfect for family outing, perhaps you could consider Kuntum :-)

We came here a week ago when we intended to go to Puncak but the traffic was sooo terrible and I was sooo hungry at that time, so we enrouted to Bogor instead. We stopped at Kuntum Nurseries (at Jalan Raya Tajur No.291, Bogor) with big green eye-catching billboard on our right side of the road. Driving into the allocated parking lot, we didn’t expect the place to hold interest for us (well – it is a nursery – though I love flowers and all but I thought that was all). Stepping out from the car and taking the surrounding, I told my husband that we might need to find another place for weekend but we decided to lunch here (too hungry to be picky wkwkwk). Not much option were available for lunch either, since most of them offered similar dishes so we settled for the most corner stall – near the bakery corner, having Sundanese meals. The lunch was good with big portion and standard pricing (but the preparation took so long – or probably because I was too hungry so I felt I waited forever for the meals to come). If you fancy fishing, you could fish in the pond next to the food stall.

Finished our meals, we strolled around the nurseries and arrived at the open gallery. Here, they showcased variety of wooden furniture and knick knacks. But I love the building concept, open wooden building with less walls and fish ponds right outside the building. We took our time there just sitting on the porch, enjoying the view and the breeze. If feeding and watching fish is not your cup of tea then fish-spa might be something that you could try there. Further inside, we can enter into the recreational park by paying IDR25k per person and you can borrow the farmer straw hat for free (take it – I know it doesn’t go well with your style but it was hooot out there. For me…I took a selfie with the hat wkwkwk). The park is good (despite the sun) but they provide enough shelters here and there. There are lots of thing that can be done inside the park, from feeding the animals (sheep, cow, rabbit, dog prairie, goose, and many more – starting from IDR5k per packet of food), harvest fruit or veg (too bad – no fruit was available for harvest when we went there), or catching fish with hands (with IDR 100k, they will put around 20 small fish into the small pond for your kids to play catching fish). They also have other activities like pottery or planting, but these are reserved only for larger group of people

Felt like in Bali ^^

So...what do you think. Pretty interesting place isn't it? I would love to go there again (>,<)  Hope you enjoy the place as much as we did
