JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will open the Ragunan Wildlife Park (TMR) at night starting today. For now, Ragunan is open only on Saturdays every week from 18.00 to 22.00 WIB.

Head of Public Relations of Ragunan Wildlife Park, Wahyudi Bambang, explained that visitors can only enter through the North Gate, because the West Gate is not opened for night visits.

"All vehicles are required to park outside the area, and visitors must have a JakCard Card. If they do not have one, visitors can buy at the counter available at the North Gate," Wahyudi told reporters, Saturday, October 11.

Meanwhile, for visitors who walk or want to exercise, just tap the card at the entrance.

Not all areas in Ragunan can be visited by the community. To maintain the safety and comfort of animals, the route to dinal animals or those that are active during the day is closed.

The zoo manager in southern Jakarta provides a special lane for visitors who want to exercise at night.

"The sport path is only from the North Gate to the Schmutzer Primata Center Roundabout, and visitors can rotate several times as long as they don't cross the specified line," he explained.

Then, visitors who have arrived from morning to evening and want to continue at night, still have to buy tickets. Because, the price of the night ticket is different from the afternoon ticket.

In addition, not all animals can be visited during night operations. Only four types of animals are opened for night visits, namely small mammals, Sumatran tigers, reptiles (terarium), and hippos.

In addition, visitors can also witness attractions for feeding a number of animals, namely small mammals, hippos, Sumatran tigers, complicated, and reptiles (ular) in the terarium area.

The attraction schedule is carried out at different hours according to the predetermined mechanism.

In addition, Ragunan management also provides operational vehicles in the form of electric cars. The rental rate is IDR 250,000 per hour with a capacity of 5 people with a predetermined route of seeing animals.

"Visitors are not required to use operational vehicles to see the specified animals. However, if you choose to walk, it should be noted that the distance between cages is quite far from the entrance," he added.
