The restaurant is pretty nice and the 2 small statues are ok, no need to walk to the big Garuda, there is nothing to see around unless you want to go up there. You will need to pay and extra fee 250k per person. The tickets are not expensive as such but when you start to add the bus ride and the entrance to the Garuda, it become a bit too much for what is it We missed the dance maybe the best thing to see !

The views were amazing, it was a bit confusing about where to go and what the purpose of the structure was. Photo opportunities, you could even go on a helicopter ride for $300 per person. Lovely breeze, at the top. Pay to get on the buggy as it is a long steep walk and very hot.

A fantastic place , lots see . Our dropped us off for a 2 hour tour. We didn’t get to everything but we saw a lot. Fantastic sculptures and buildings as well as gardens and cultural performances. Tip take the golf cart , it’s a long walk !

Visited Garuda Wisnu Kencana in the afternoon around 14:00, which was perfect to avoid the intense heat. The views were simply stunning, and the cultural show was a treat. Be ready for a bit of a walk to reach the majestic statue, but it's all part of the great experience. Highly recommend for an enriching afternoon!

Too expensive for a cultural visit. A great display of a few big statues. Other than that, there’s not much to see. For going to the main statue, you will have to pay extra if you want to go with a buggy. To go up and join the tour, you must pay extra 250 thousands rupiah.

I visited this park around 14 years ago and I remember it as being somewhere that was very pretty spectacular. So, I was looking forward to going back again. It had changed since I was last there, especially the entrance. But, I was glad that I went back. This is a very uplifting and peaceful place. I highly recommend it.

Went later in afternoon to avoid heat, definitely pay the extra for the buggy to get around. It was a bit confusing about which way to go to see everything , perhaps some signage to help people know where to next as the buggy staff spoke limited English and didn’t seem very helpful. At the end you walk through a gift shop then we weren’t sure how to get back, again some signage or staff to help direct people. Asked someone at the gift shop counter who just pointed which way to go, not very friendly. Statues are impressive! Weird you have to pay extra to go up in the large one, we decided not to but surely could be part of the ticket price? Definitely worth a visit but only need 1.5 hrs.

We went to Garuda park and entrance fee for foreigners is 150,000 IDR per person. If you want a buggy to take you to the statue, you have to pay additional 40,000 IDR per person. The buggy cost is worth it if it is hot and humid or rainy as it takes 45 minutes to walk to the statue. They also offer packages where if you want to go to 23rd floor of the building of the statue in addition to the entrance fee, the cost is 300000 IDR per person. We took the buggy to the top but since we did not buy the ticket to go to the 23rd floor, we just took a few photos there and then took the buggy down to the middle area. Here we offered prayer to Vishnu. The cost of prayer was included in our ticket. The priest basically sprinkles holy water on us and offers the water with which we washed our faces. And then we headed back. We passed a pond on the way. There is nothing really worth here for the high fee that is charged. They have restaurants here for those who want to eat at the park.

An incredible and unique experience. I've seen some other reviews complaining about pricing. It's very easy to figure out if you are not a complete brain-dead moron. We paid the price to go up the statue and see views you can't see anywhere else. The statue is incredibly impressive. Being the 5th largest in the world, you haven't seen anything like this and they provide great engineering information. The walk to the statue is not 45min, it's much shorter if you are not an unfit piece of human garbage, afraid of a short walk. Definitely worth visiting to see an incredible statue and learn more about culture and religion. There are many cultural dances and other statues to learn about. Would bring friends and family here next time.

I'm not sure why the park gets mixed reviews, because we thought it was nicely done with a lot to do there. The website clearly states that there are 2 different ticket options: 1 for the park entrance itself and everything inside, and 1 for the park entrance combined with entry inside the Garuda statue for its viewing decks. You can buy these as a bundle upfront or separately inside (cheaper to bundle). We only bought the regular park entry ticket. You can probably get through the park in an hour or two if you just see the statues and take a few pictures. To get a full cultural experience, it's best to follow the map and catch the cinema show plus the live dance performances. Each performance was about 30 minutes (all free with regular park entrance) and they're every hour on the hour, with different types of performances throughout the day. We watched 3 performances, received a blessing in the temple at the Vishnu statue, and watched the cinema show, and we didn't feel we missed anything by not going inside the statue. This took us about 4-5 hours. All in all, we enjoyed our experience there and seeing different aspects of the culture. We would definitely recommend going.
