A new zoo by Jatim Park group and Sinarmas Land group, supposedly opening later in 2024. It is being built at Bumi Serpong Damai, a township in Tangerang near Bintaro, popular for its malls and culinary destinations. The zoo will have an “Urban Zoo Safari Adventure” theme, which blends nature and modernity into one. Hoping this zoo will be as good as Jatim Park's other zoos (Batu Secret Zoo and Lembang Park & Zoo) and it seems that Jatim Park is catching up to Taman Safari's popularity and success, though unlike Taman Safari, Jatim Park doesn't just specialize in zoos.

Lembang Park Zoo is owned by different company/people than Batu Secret Zoo and both parks has no cooperation. I have heard some rumors about how this park will looks like: - it will has small animal museum same like Jatim Park. - large indoor Desert house is planned. - large 1 hectare aviary will cover South American zone for several water animals like tapirs, giant otters, capibara, Jaguar, manatees and several primates and big number of parrots - African zone with drive through Savana section - Indonesian zone with most charismatic Indonesian species Reptile house and aquarium. For me the most interesting are Desert house and manatees - time will show if this ambitious plans will be realized.
Very ambitious, not hoping that it went the Jakarta Aquarium route. I really hope that they'll stay commited to conservation and animal welfare value, like Batu Secret Zoo and in some ways Taman Safari Indonesia. The premise sounds great, looks like it's inspired by Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo with the massive themed-exhibits.
