    The place is clean and well maintained. The road to go there is relatively fine, a normal car will easily get you there. This place is not a zoo and not a bear conservation. This place is aimed to take care of bear that is unable to be released to the jungle because of some reasons. You can also adopt cat in this place, they also babysit some abandoned cats.

    The place is clean and exceptionally well-maintained. There are no entrance tickets, but there's a donation box for bear care. We arrived at 9 am and only managed to see 2 bears, perhaps because it was too early. Potential visitors might want to find out in advance the recommended time to witness the bears being more active.

    (Translated by Google) It's super cooool! Gils, I didn't think there was a place like this on the outskirts of Balikpapan. This place is a place to care for confiscated sun bears who cannot return to the free forest. Maybe it's because there is a physical disability or because they have been kept for too long and finally don't know how to behave like a wild bear. We can see the sun bear at certain hours, twice a day, one of them at 15.00-17.00. Besides observing bears, we can also learn a lot about bears. There is a kind of house / joglo whose contents are labyrinths with various information related to bears (not only madi bears). The information is really informative and interestingly packaged! Besides bears, there is also a cat house and flower garden. Entry is free of charge. If you want to introduce children to bears and conservation, this place is a good choice! (Original) It's super cooool! Gils, ga nyangka ada tempat seperti ini di pinggiran kota Balikpapan. Tempat ini adalah tempat untuk merawat beruang madu hasil sita yang tidak dapat kembali ke hutan bebas. Mungkin karena ada cacat fisik atau karena terlalu lama dipelihara akhirnya tidak tahu bagaimana cara berperilaku selayaknya beruang liar. Kita bisa melihat beruang madu di jam-jam tertentu, dua kali dalam sehari salah satunya jam 15.00-17.00. Selain mengamati beruang, kita juga bisa belajar banyak tentang beruang. Ada semacam rumah/joglo yang isinya labirin dengan berbagai informasi terkait beruang (tidak hanya beruang madi). Informasinya sungguh informatif dan dikemas secara menarik! Selain beruang, ada juga rumah kucing dan taman bunga. Untuk masuknya tidak dipungut biaya. Kalau mau mengenalkan anak ke beruang dan konservasi, tempat ini merupakan salah satu pilihan yang baik!

    It's a nice place to go especially on weekend. The place were well maintained and there is convenient parking lot as well for cars and bikes. Unfortunately the road to the conservatory obviously need to be repaired. You don't need to pay the entrance fee just some donation you want. There isn't only sun bears that they taken care of, but also cats and birds. You can even pet the cats when you go to the office building nearby the cat's shelter. Lovely place to go! πŸ‘πŸΌ

    Really good place to chill out from the city, loved the green and pendopo house. Really pretty and calming. But this is purely for preservation of sun bear, so this is not a zoo or a mini zoo either, for now there's 6 of the sun bears left to watch here. And there's no entrance fee unless parking fee for the local so it's fine. Inside the park there's sun bear enclosure, pendopo house, informational and user friendly board, merchandise shop, normal shop that sells snack and drinks, playground for the little one.

    Great place to bring children to to teach them about nature. A beautiful, spacious compound dedicated to the conservation of sun bears, approximately an hour away from Balikpapan's city centre. There is no entry fee but you could make a donation and certainly should! To actually see the sun bears it is advised to come during their feeding hours. But even without spotting the bears, there is plenty of nature to observe and an exhibition space in the pavilion offers detailed information on sun bears, the risk posed by deforestation on their natural habitat, and more. There is also a nice playground on the compound which could be enjoyed by children of various ages.

    It is one of must visit places in Balikpapan. Sun Bear Conservation. This place quite far from town about 23 KM. The entrace is free (latest visit 5/8/18) . You just need to pay for the parking lot (cheap). In this place there are several Gazebo that made from Ulin woods. You can rest here after looking around and you can use this gazebo to held an event since the gazebobis quite large. You can see and meet the sun bear at 9 am and 3 pm. They also sell some sun bear souvenir like tshirt etc (i dont know the price). The toilet is clean. Btw they also have Cat house. Warning: there are Dog hanging around, you need to caution for fierce dog.

    (Translated by Google) Recommended for educational tours, especially those who like nature tourism. The tourist spot is quite spacious, equipped with interesting infographics related to sun bears. 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. is the time to feed the sun bears, so it is recommended to come at this time. There is no admission ticket, but to see sun bears, it is advisable to donate freely. (Original) Recommended untuk wisata edukasi, terutama yang menyukai wisata alam. Tempat wisatanya cukup luas yang dilengkapi infografis menarik terkait beruang madu. Jam 9.00 dan 15.00 adalah waktunya memberi makan beruang madu, sehingga direkomendasikan untuk datang pada jam tersebut. Tidak ada tiket masuk, namun untuk melihat beruang madu, disarankan untuk donasi seikhlasnya.

    The place was so nice but unfortunately I was not able to meet the Bear. No need to pay for entrance fee, we only give some donation after we entering the Bear Zone. In this place, you can adopt a cat as well and buy some t-shirt. No plastic bag there, they recycle newspaper into paperbag. Should visit that place next time.

    This place is really awesome. You will see a high standard of enclosure without paying. You can see LAMIN, a traditional house of Kalimantan. There are Cat House that have a lot of cats that you can adopt. So many images that provide us information about the nature. The place is so green and fresh. It is a perfect place for weekend getaway with family and educate the child about the nature of sun bear. Hilarious!

    Very nice place to learn about the beruang madu (literally honey bear which i like a lot more than the official translation sun bear) and see the rescued bears in action. We were very lucky to see a few of them in their natural habitat. It is an amazing experience seeing them in as close to the wild as possible. Highly recommended and its

    (Translated by Google) not bear breeding, but bear conservation obtained from confiscated communities. in total there are 6 bears that we can see. just come at 9 in the morning, enter by paying a sincere donation, we can already see this typical Kalimantan animals looking for food around the visitors walking track. the track is quite long, at the end there is a place where the bears used to rest. we can see them relaxing, hanging. when entering we are prohibited from carrying food and drinks, including bottles and cigarettes. strict care also makes this place clean of rubbish. beautiful place, cool. do not worry we will not get any information when visiting here, the guides will be ready to provide stories about bears that live there. thumbs up for the ladies who are happy to accompany you. oh yeah, not just bears, here there are also tan flowers, birds information centers, to the cat house. The main thing is you must come here, don't forget to bring your children as a cheap and cheap education place but information requirements. (Original) bukan penangkaran beruang, tapi konservasi beruang yang didapat dari sitaan masyarakat. total ada 6 ekor beruang yang bisa kita lihat. datang saja jam 9 pagi, masuk dengan membayar donasi seikhlasnya, kita sudah bisa melihat hewan khas kalimantan ini mencari makan di sekitar trek berjalan pengunjung. trek cukup panjang, di ujungnya terdapat tempat yang biasa dipakai para beruang untuk beristirahat. kita bisa melihat mereka bersantai, bergelantungan. ketika masuk kita dilarang membawa makanan dan minuman, termasuk botol dan rokok. penjagaan ketat itu juga yang membuat tempat ini bersih dari sampah. tempatnya asri, sejuk. jangan khawatir kita tidak akan mendapatkan informasi apa-apa ketika berkunjung ke sini, para guide akan siap sedia memberikan cerita-cerita tentang beruang yang hidup di sana. thumbs up buat mbak-mbak yang drnhan senang hati menemani. oh ya, bukan cuma beruang, di sini juga ada tan bunga, birds information center, sampai ke rumah kucing. pokoknya wajib datang ke sini, jangan lupa bawa anak-anak sebagai tempat edukasi murah meriah tapi syarat informasi.
