Analana Park – Where the Weird Things Are

At Analana Park – it’s where the weird things are. I mean, they look weird to me. And scary, too! Nope, they’re not of small size but of giant size! Goodness, what if they were real or would suddenly move? I would never have the chance to run nor the chance to plead for my life. Those creatures could just spit at me and I’d turn into a rolling ball.

Where is Analana Park?

The park is inside the Prambanan Temple complex in Yogyakarta. You can only see it after you exit where the main temples are. Just follow the exit signs and you will find your way to the park’s entrance.

The Straw Characters

The first things you notice when entering the park are the giant characters.

As you can see, they look impressive and are made of straw.

They are also based on the characters from the epic, Ramayana.

Aside from those giant straw sculptures, visitors will also find other amusement exciting booths.

They’ve got archery rides, a suspension bridge, a market, and other activities that children would love to do and enjoy.

Hostel/Hotel in Yogyakarta

I stayed at One Baek Hostel where it is surrounded by bars, restaurants, and convenience stores. The room was clean, and they will allow you to check-in as long as the beds/rooms are ready. The staff members are nice and they’re willing to help out on where to go and what to do in the city. They also offer tours to Borobudur and Prambanan. Ask for their tour list and decide which tour you’d take. You can book this hostel through TripAdvisor, Expedia, and HostelWorld.
