Prambanan is an exquisite temple in its own right, though not as impressive or accessible as Borobudur. Some of the temples, including the largest one, are currently off limits due to restoration after an earthquake that struck the area in 2006 destroyed parts of them. The temple grounds are surrounded by a huge park area with a chiidren’s playground, museum,... more

Yes it's under restoration after earthquake, but you still get the full external experience. Only thing you cannot see is the carving on the interior of the different temples. more

The temple was cordoned off except for one of the main temple due to the 2006 earthquake. No restoration work seen going on the damaged temples. If can enter inside the temple it might be onother experience but seeing it from outside it will take only 1/2 hour to tour the whole temple complex. more
