A Trip to East Java – Batu, Malang (16 – 17 June’15): Day 3

Today (17 June’15) is the third day of our journey to East Java. Our plan for today is to visit Museum Satwa and Batu Secret Zoo. And then, we are going back to Surabaya with so many nice memories of Batu, Malang :-)

We’re having breakfast at Pohon Inn Hotel restaurant, a unique restaurant surrounded by an artificial jungle and a collection of big-cats (jaguar, leopard and cheetah) behind a thick glass cage.

After breakfast, we packed up our bags, checked out of the hotel and went to the Museum Satwa. This is located right next to Pohon Inn Hotel. Museum Satwa is actually a ‘taxidermy museum’, with huge collection of species, from big to small, from elephants to butterfly and any kind of small bugs. We took some nice pictures in the location.

We walked through the museum and arrived at Batu Secret Zoo, which is located also next to Pohon Inn Hotel only that the zoo lays across to the Museum. Basically, our hotel is ‘integrated’ with the zoo and with the museum. Cool! Batu Secret Zoo is a big zoo, with a huge collection of species, from African lions, Siberian tigers to species of reptiles, birds, fishes, kangaroos and mammals from all over the continents.        

Tips: The zoo provides also electronic bicycle that can be hired for a reasonable price.

        Batu-Malang is quite cold at night, don't forget to bring your coat.
