Hi pinmapple friends. In this content i will sharing one of the best garden that i have visited in Batu city Malang. This is the first destination that my little family visited. I really want to share our journey and fun in this garden. Hopefully that you can visit this place too.
Overal this place is like Garden combined with mini zoo for educating kids and give pleasure to our eyes, especially like me and my wife that live in the big city without having beautiful garden in that city. So by looking and enjoying the breeze air and weather also lookin garden that very lusting and pleasuring in our eyes, this is perfect for holiday destination.

Okay before we arrived in this place i will sharing the map and the place destination via google map

It took around 45 minuts from my parents house in Malang city. Fortunately when we are going to Batu Love Garden the traffic is not to much crowded so we can enjoying the journey to the place.

After we are parking the motorcycle, then i know that my wife and my son want to get pictured. Yeah i think it super common that the husband will be the photographer when the family going to tourist destination. And yeah i will be too.

Batu Love Garden

Outside & Ticket Counter

Before entering the Batu Love Garden we need to buying entry tickets. It cost around 7$/ person. Maybe for some person the price is reasonable but for me if it is not for holiday i can say that tickets is very expensive, but yeah after a year we are very rare to having fun and spending time together in nice place and nice weather like this. So i think it is worthed to refresh our mind and refresh our eyes.
After buying ticket we welcomed by the artificial garden and some explanation about all flowers in the worlds.

This is artificial flower that decorated like animal, very beautiful landscape decoration for artificial flower. But what we need is some fresh and real flower here. At first, i am little dissapointed, my wife said like that too. the only excited is my son.

The only lovely spot for photo is just the peacock artificial decoration. My wife and my son like to get photo here. After walking deeper, we entering room with still the artificial decoration.

I really don't know what the concept for this room, and i really dont know what flower or plant of this artificial plant. But yeah i think this room is pretty good spot for photo, but also this room is very hard to get the nice picture because the lighting is very low.
I get the candid of my son gasping after he knew the artificial flower above his head. he doesn't know at first that this room full of artificial plant in the ceiling.

After that we keep moved one to the next route and we entering dislay of the mini flower tree like sakura tree mapple tree and some display of the flower around the world. Of course it is the artificial too.

From here my son starting boring and lost interest, me and my wife is starting to get more dissapointed too. There is not interesting at all. we not excited at all. I think it is not worthed entering this place at all.But we still need to continue the route journey, because this is literally our first time come to this place. So, lets enjoyed it even though this place not very good.

After 2 or 3 rooms we going through and i did not take photo at all because this artificial things is make us boring, finally we got place that pretty good to get the photo even though it still artificial, At least that place gives some new vibe.

This place theme is like going to be a wedding themes. There is a car (impala) car that i am very loved with this car. Then we got decoration like wedding ceremony.

Here the picture of my wife and my son while in the decoration of the wedding themes. Yeah they love it photo in the decoration like that meanwhile i am not very like it, but near the wedding decoration i am looking the car that makes me wanna take a picture that is impala car.

And this is the picture of the impala car that i loved, maybe if i am having some extra money i will buy this car and taking care for the show off only.

Yeah at least i have photo with this deluxe car. I think i need to get more money to buy this dream car. Maybe the car price is not much but i think the maintain part of this car is make this car expensive.

Main Garden

After we are going out from the room we entering the main garden in this place, this is the place that we looking for, Main Garden is extremely wide and we have so many choice path and route that we want to explore. After entering the main Garden my wife and my son want to taken a picture, after my wife record and share it in her social media then i am starting to take some picture here.

After satisfied taking picture in the main garden we decided to entering the Garden dome that the building like cricket. We are pretty curious what inside this place. And the looks seems pretty interesting.

Cricket Dome Garden

I don't know what the name of this dome since in here there are no maps, so i will say this dome is Cricket Dome Garden because from outside the dome is like Cricket. After we entering this dome, i can say that this dome is amazing, many glass in the rooftop that function like big Green House with many different varietas of the plants area.

After entering we can see the tropical garden view with such as tropical plants and in this area the rooftop is not made of glass, so this area will get the shading of the sun lights. Thats why in this area is darker than other area. But, overal in this place the landscape decoration is pretty good. I can say that the plants is well maintained.

There also landscape that imitate like mini waterfall inside this dome. I think this dome is very awesome. I am imagining that i have home that having garden like this. maybe i can stay from morning till evening just enjoying in my garden.

After the tropical jungle area we need to walking round the dome and going to the next destination and the position is on the head of the cricket that full of glass rooftop. And that area is full of sunlight so it starting to shifting to dessert area

Many sicas type plant for the shifting to dessert area, this landscape is pretty cool for see. And after that we can see many cactus and succulent plant that need heavy sun lights and very dry area here.

After walking around in dessert area then we are going to out from the dome and the last is collection of the nephentes plants

Then,after finished in Cricket Dome we continue to the next route.

Cafetaria Themes Garden

After we are out from the Cricket Dome Garden the route continue to Cafetaria that still full of garden. There are few food and drinks stall in there but i means it is just snacks only, no main course meal.
I think this place is just to resting a little bit and enjoying garden inside cafetaria.

The decoration in this place is pretty neat and good, this place have some good spot for photo, and the environment is pretty enjoyable.
This place combined with some pond garden and begonia garden inside.

We decided to take a rest a little bit and buy some snacks that is waffle and french fries while enjoying the view of the garden

And what make interesting is when we eating snacks this place helding carnival parade. showing dancer with costumes and some of decorated vehicle.

Fruit Garden

After done eating snacks and watching the carnival parade we continued the journey and entering fruit garden zone, in here we can see different types of fruit tree and we can see the explanation about the tree such as how to keeping and taking care the fruit tree and from where the fruit tree come from.

My son seems photogenic in this place in akwardly not in coolest way.

Fruit Garden is very big area for my opinion, and in this season many fruit tree is just tree, it is very rare that the tree have a fruit, many of them is still in juvenile and small, thats why there is no fruit at all, maybe we need to wait around 5-7 months again to see the fruit from the tree.

After done in Fruit Garden then we are going to the next route, Now i am regret that i am feels bored and uninterested in the first place. Now, i can say that this place is very awesome, i cannot wait what next destination. So, we are going to the next route.

Hidroponic center

The next destination is still about the plants, i want to see how the explanation about the hydroponic since i know a little bit about hydroponic system.

I think this Hydroponic Center is pretty good and pretty educational. My son seems understand the big picture about how to planting vegetables using water as plants media. He said that the vegetables can lives by swimming in water and no need soil to grow. What makes he confused is because there is different from he taught in school. But i can explained a little bit that in Hydroponic there are so many technique to growing vegetables and plants, and in here we can see many of that technique.

After done with Hydroponic center we continued the journey and we are going through some of garden like a bridge to go to Mini Zoo

Still the garden landscape is pretty, because we want to entering the mini zoo, so the landscape themes is animals.

Mini Zoo

After entering the Mini Zoo building we got welcomed by insect collection wether alive or dead.

After seeing live insect and dead insect, we are now going to poultry area, and in poultry area we can giving them food. And i know that my son very love to giving food to animal. But my wife objected because every time we gives the food, we need to buy the food first and it cost around 0,7$ each pack.

And this is the best part in poultry area we can see peacock from close range

My son afraid with peacock because the sound of the peacock sounds intimidating. But thats funny and i taken a photo when he afraid.

After that we moving to the next route. Need walking around 10 minutes to go outdoor area and amusement park area,but before that they serve a few country decoration such Japan model,US model,Chinese model and that will be a good spot to take a photo.

After done taking a few photo we continued the journey and entering outdoor area.

Amusement Outdoor Park

There is a bridge connected with orange decoration to bridging the mini zoo area to amusement park area. And this place is very nice supported with nice weather. Sunny day and thankfully it is not rain in that day.

After entering amusement park, we are amazed with many attractions site, there is Rainbow Slide (we not entering this attraction due my son afraid and my wife afraid too), Sky riding, riding pony horse, riding camel, feeding koi fish, go-cart,mini roller coaster,etc.

We dont try everything just a few riding because my wife afraid riding roller coaster,my son too. And me especially really afraid of heights. and i dont like riding camel because the smell is very bad. But, this time my wife asking me to riding Sky Riding. So, even though i am very afraid of heights, i need to obey my wife. Thats why i gathering all courage and just riding the Sky Riding

There is funny accident while riding in Sky Riding after take off a little while, my son is very afraid because he is looking down, and we above ground around 200meters and my son said that he dont wanna die and dont wanna fall, and he told that after he died he will respawned in zombie area and ghost area thats why he did not want to die now. I think he is watching minecraft a lot thats why he can say that. But, the expression of my son is very funny. And yeah I am afraid too, but i need to act brave for my son. If the bicycle stop in the middle of the ride I will be panicked too.

After done with Sky Riding my son want to try riding Pony horse.

Riding Pony Horse make his mood back to normal and the fear go away. After done riding Pony horse, my wife want to get pictured in swing

Not only having many attraction, there also have lavender garden that very good place for taking a picture.

After walking around in garden area in there, my son starting to feels tired and ask me to get home. But, this time we are not going home but wes stay in Hotel. So, after i asking my wife we decided to check in and ended the journey inside Batu Love Garden. Still there are so many attraction here, but i dont have all the picture because i am starting to carry my son.

We decided to end this journey,but it turns out that the exit is way back to entry sites. So we still need to walking back to the first place and yeah while walking we still take some picture to capture the moment while we here.

Aquascape and Paludarium Zone

This place is the last part of the journey after we are going back into first place we enter, turn out that the exit door is having different way with the first we entering into the garden. And this place is full of aquascape design and paludarium design. I know who make this setup because he is my aquascape friend. You can check his youtube here. Feel free to follow subscribe or follow him if you want to know about his aquascape setup.

And in this area, there also show up mineral rocks around the worlds, it is pretty good rocks. But, i dont understand about this rocks. Thats why i am not to much interesting looking the rocks. I am enjoying the aquascape and paludarium setup. But, i am little bit dissapointed because why the aquascape and the paludarium is not well maintained. It is very terrible if the nice setup like that looks like disaster.
