Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park Review

Ok, not very big, you can not take the small bus inside, two or three hours will be all gone. You can follow the sign route, quite local religious and cultural colors, there is nothing to eat inside, there are some restaurants before entering

lovely park with some impressive statues I took my hire motorbike for here I found it a nice escape from the city the weather was extremely hot on my visit so be sure to take a hat,water, sunscreen there is shops and mini marts available at entrance begging of entry to the park I would recommend this for a cultural day out you have to pay a very hi fee to go up to the viewing platform in the main statute so I didn't bother. you get a free infused water or ice tea at the restaurant at the end of your park visit I would say it's a nice restaurant but expensive all in all a nice day I also opted for the walking tour but option for buggy.

The tallest building in Bali and the 4th tallest building in the world. The statue makes a stunning central feature of GWK, a fascinating 60-hectare cultural park that draws visitors from around the globe and provides a tantalizing glimpse into Bali’s fascinating heritage through intriguing cultural performances, legendary folklore tales, immense sculptures, and dramatic cinematic presentation. Enjoy panoramic island views as you explore the park on foot or by Segway. Indulge in Indonesian heritage cuisine, immerse yourself in a land steeped in mythology, or plan your next big event in one of GWK’s epic venues.Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue depicts Wisnu riding Garuda. In Hindu mythology, Lord Wisnu is seen as the protector of the Universe, while his trusted companion, the mighty eagle-like Garuda represents loyalty and selfless devotion. Kencana means gold, and both are adorned in crowns of gold mosaic. The Garuda is also the national emblem of Indonesia and represents freedom.Designed by renowned Balinese artist Nyoman Nuarta, the statue is made of copper and brass and features 754 modules with 25 steel segments weighing in at a hefty 900 tons, with a steel weight of 1300 tons. The statue and pedestal is 120.9 meters high with a width of 64 meters thanks to Garuda’s wingspan.

The Cultural Park is big but very sparse, just some big statues and one cultural show. Free beverage included in the ticket is not good in the restaurant. Help yourself from a container tap full of bees. Disappointing and scary to take and consume the beverage.

Awesome experience, very grand and spectacular.

Good price
