The museum definitely worth to visit if you are interested in history, sugar or anything sweet. But for 35k it might not be a multiple visitation friendly. The exterior however is more interesting to photo and the entrance fee is fractional.

Good restoration from the old sugar mill to historical museum for education. Although there are still plenty of empty space to be developed into interesting exhibits and lack of visitors route signage considering the vast exhibition area.

The De' Tjolomadoe Museum in Solo, Indonesia is a unique and fascinating destination for history and culture enthusiasts. The museum is located in a former colonial plantation house that has been beautifully restored and converted into a museum. Visitors can explore the various rooms and exhibitions that showcase the rich history of the region, including traditional Javanese culture, the colonial period, and the struggles for independence. One of the highlights of the museum is the traditional Javanese architecture and decor, which is truly breathtaking. The intricate carvings and detailed woodwork are a testament to the skill and artistry of the local craftsmen. The exhibitions are well-curated and provide a comprehensive overview of the region's history and culture. The museum also has a lovely garden and a small cafe where visitors can relax and enjoy a refreshing drink or snack. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they are happy to answer any questions you may have. Overall, the De' Tjolomadoe Museum is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Solo, and it's well worth the visit.

It was a sugar factory built a long time ago. The name colomadu means mountain of honey. Such a good name for a sugar factory. Now it is open for a museum. But you need to buy a ticket to enter the museum, which is not cheap. There was caffee and eatery but it was closed maybe because there are fewer visitors nowadays. I didn't enter the museum because it seems it isn't interesting at all.

Must visit. The machines are fascinating, the museum is highly educational (please go through it thoroughly if you have time, it is one of the best in Indonesia IMO), and it's an excellent photo spot. There's a cafeteria too. Kids and adults will like it.

Just a regular museum, nothing much to do here. Entrance fee equal IDR 35K. Large parking lot. I don't know how but this place is possible reserved as graduation venue.

An Ex-Sugar mill company, now it is a museum. You can get much information about how the sugar industries runs in the dutch colonization era. If you don't want to enter the museum, you can jog on the outside, there is plenty open area available. Entrance ticket to the area is 2k, entrance ticket to the museum is 35k. The building is very classic dutch colonization era, great place to take beautiful photos.

I came here on public holiday and ticket fee for adults is 40K rupiah and 30K for children. You have to walk a bit far from parking area to ticket booth. You can also get explanation from the guide who will tell you the whole history of De Tjolomadoe. I didnt have enough time to explore other areas but i hope i could get back here again on another occassion.

This place is one of tourist attraction is Solo, used to be a sugar factory from 19th century, until it renovated and reopens around 2018. It located near Solo's airport and on the main road, so its easily to find. The place is consist of museum, restaurant, cafe, a multifunction hall and wide lot to just enjoy the scenery. Parking lot is spacious, so no need to worry where to park your vehicle. Ticket price still understandable, a even if you not visit the museum or restaurant, you still can spent time to just sit around and take pictures here.

Its a gorgeous place..it used to be one of the biggest sugar mills in java..in its peak they sold sugar to thailand and other countries..it has a museum where we can see and learn about the history of this mills..also they have cafe and restaurant inside..in this place which is very spacious,we can rent electric moped to explore this place.what amazed me is the toilet is very modern and clean..too bad in some area,this place is need more love from the government

The place is enormous. You can easily spot it by the building that has tall chimney and big walls. Firstly, if you plan to go there, you need to pay Rp. 2000/person + parking fee (depends on time and vehicle you use). And if you want to go inside the building, you should pay ticket Rp. 35.000 (adult) and 25.000 (kid >12 y/o) each. The parking lot itself are big; it can amount hundreds of cars and/or buses + thousands of motorcycles at once. The main attraction of this place is museum which will provide you the history of Sugar Factory of Tjolomadoe (Colomadu) and its info graphic + photos of it in the past. The museum itself also has cafe in it that can amount hundred of people at once.

Nicely restored former sugar factory where you can see the century old giant machinery. While it is restored nicely but it loses a bit of the gist on how it actually were - maybe there were too many things that couldn't be restored and not worth to reconstruct. Only the diorama / model gives a hint on how the factory works. Inside there is a cozy cafe/eatery which I didn't try.

Tjolomadoe in Karanganyar, Central Java, used to be a sugar factory, but now it's a cool cultural park. You can learn about Central Java's history, see events, and try yummy food. It's a fun place that mixes old stories with new stuff, making it a neat spot for anyone curious about history and culture

Really loved this oldies place! The museum was interesting and insightful! Now I know the history about sugar and the company. Entrance fee was 40K and got 5k discount for the cafe.

One of the good restorations done by a country-owned corporation even though there is some controversy and some buildings being demolished. What makes it special is not the fact that this is a massive colonial structure, but also the fact that this was owned by an inlanders principality, Kadipaten Mangkunegara. Even though does not have a large area like its Surakarta counterparts, they have 2 sugar factories, one of it is Tasikmadu near Karanganyar town. It is good that even though the sugar factory was not used as how it used to be but it is still functioning as a tourist attraction and meeting hall.

I love this place. It's an amazing place to learn about indonesian history as one of the biggest sugar exporters..

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Tjolomadoe Museum in Solo, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. This museum, housed in a restored sugarcane factory from the 19th century to the 1990s, offers a captivating glimpse into the region's rich history. As soon as I stepped foot inside, I was immediately transported back in time. The museum's meticulously preserved exhibits beautifully showcase the industrial heritage of the factory, giving visitors a comprehensive understanding of the sugarcane industry's importance in Solo's past.From the informative displays to the engaging interactive elements, every corner of the Tjolomadoe Museum had something intriguing to offer. One highlight of my visit was the opportunity to witness the sugarcane processing techniques that were used in the past. The museum has recreated a fully functional traditional sugar mill, allowing visitors to observe the intricate process firsthand. It was an immersive experience that left me in awe of the ingenuity and hard work that went into producing sugar during that era. The Tjolomadoe Museum also boasts a charming café where visitors can relax and savor some delicious local treats. The serene surroundings and picturesque views added to the overall ambiance, providing a perfect spot to reflect on the historical journey. In conclusion, the Tjolomadoe Museum is a hidden gem in Solo that offers a unique and enlightening experience for history enthusiasts and curious visitors alike. The dedication to preserving the factory's heritage is commendable, and the educational value it provides is simply outstanding. I highly recommend a visit to this remarkable museum—I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

Old Sugar-Mill turned into Museum & Event space. They have really good interactive museum! but it was quite pricey with Rp.35.000 for the entrance fee. also the air conditioning was quite hot; which was understandable to be honest because the ceiling was quite high. Huge and airy outdoor public space, but I feel that there is a lack of food options.

Nice place to know the history of sugar. But the fee rp 50.000 may be to much. So the place very quite

First time visit this place. This place is old sugar firm. Then government renovation to make this building become vacation destination. My thoughts about this place. Positive value: 1. Well renovation from old buildings becomes new one. 2. Location near main road. 3. Easy to access Negative value: 1. Tickets is quite so expensive 2. Not too much item to show. 3. poor information Remark to management: Please make this place more fun and consider Tickets price.

Lovely. You need to go inside to grab the full experience. Has a nice resto inside.

Informative, if sligjtly underwhelming, exhibiton at an old sugar refinery. Cafes were not operational when I visited Sunday morning.

Second time to visit here after 3 years, but the condition was not as clean as before, although still the beauty of the place were interesting, parking lot motorcycle parked not in proper manner, many trash around because there were public activity, the gardens were not trimmed well, maybe because of pandemic.

We went there at 1500ish on a Sunday.. The ticket to enter the area just cost IDR 2.5K which seems a nice price for local community to enjoy their weekend afternoons on the wide area with their friends.. some were roller skating.. some did some school work.. some brought music devices to do line-dancing practices.. The museum (former sugar factory) itself was very empty and we were the only ones inside. The ticket to enter the museum (restored and replicated sugar production machinery) costed IDR 35K per person. The museum is opened until 1800. But the officials will wait until you ate finished, once you are inside, haha... Loving historical sites and reading, I could spend at least 2 hrs in there, but since my kids are still learning how to get interested in culture, we just strove through the informative rooms before we took pictures outside the factory where young children have more fun to run around. There were no guides available, but the information on the walls did do a good job.. Honestly, in terms of educational and historical study, I prefer De Tjolomadoe over the Heritage which is also another ex-sugar factory

Good for kids. Clean space and modern gallery. You will not remember any of the sugar factory at all. They paint the machine. Redo the floor. It's far from scary... Also good for profile picture shoots

Really nice renovation of what used to be a sugar factory. You can learn about the history of sugar trade. They have a hall inside for events.

The old Sugarcane factory was refurbished to a museum intact with the machines. The entrance fee of 40k doesn't justify walking around practically a few big machines.

This museum is used to be a sugar company. It has a great architectural design! You can learn about the factory's history here with a lot of interesting media. It's a great place to bring your family and loved ones here.

The place is so large, old building, heritage, clean, neat, and still in a good condition. The place is nice and beautiful. The parking lot is huge. It is easy to access and find too.

Great museum and there's a cafe too inside. It is close every monday

A sugar factory from the Dutch era was in the Colomadu area, the building was very large and became a vital source of sugar suppliers at that time, even when I was little when the process of grinding sugar cane into sugar was very audible as the sound of a sugar factory chimney from a distance immediately emitted a lot of ash everywhere, time passed and this factory was no longer in operation and even abandoned, but in 2017 the sugar factory was remodeled by the government to become an extraordinary tourist stopover, this place is also a venue for concerts, bazaars, exhibitions and other activities . and the name of this place which used to be PG Colomadu was changed to De Tjolomadoe

If you didn’t think museums could both be educational and beautiful, think again! De Tjolomadoe is a sugar factory turned museum, which especially has gorgeous lighting at night. It is situated in a spacious piece of land with numerous parking spaces and cafes & restaurants too!

Unexpectedly, impressive! The collections, arrangements, and explanation are all interesting! There are a lot of huge machines to make sugar. The information is explained well with short and precise words and charts with the simple yet modern design. The information, in two languanges (Indonesia and English), is also comprehensive. The miniature of daily activities in Tjolomadoe sugar factory caught my attention. You should go to De Tjolomadoe Museum if you are in Solo. Visitors can use public transportation to go here. Use bus Batik Solo Trans (BST) K1 (Route Adi Soemarmo Airport-Palur Terminal vice versa) and get off in Lanud Halte, near the junction. Open the gmaps and walk around 500m. There are two musholas, open spaces, wide parking area, cafe, hall, UMKM bazars, and toilets. Price: 35K(adult)

Nice place, beautiful venue, good vibes. Love de colomadu 🤩

Great building, too bad that not maintain properly. Garden could really use sprucing up.

The museum of sugar factory that nowadays opened so people can learn of how rich the factories used to exist back then, on sunny day dont forget sunscreen and umbrella while walking, can be too sunny outside but inside it comfortable enough ✌️

Aesthetic old building. take lots of photos here

An aesthetic place. In ancient times, this place was a sugar factory but now to be tourist attraction.
