    Batur Geopark Museum is a museum that presents information on national and foreign earth parks. It is located on Jalan Raya Penelokan, Kintamani, Bangli, Bali. Access to get there can be brought by car and bus, there you can see various types of relics, an entrance ticket to the Batur Kintamani Geopark museum, visitors must pay a ticket of IDR 20,000 for adults while for children IDR 15,000 and there you can watch the history of the mountain Batur, there are many facilities that you can get there, starting from spacious parking and toilets, free waifi. I recommend this place to visit and the service there is very good

    My favorite museum for now here in Kintamani. Free entrance (as I understand), just need registration. Few floors, huge halls with information! It was very interesting to know about eruption, volcanos and geology of islands in Indonesia. I enjoyed time there! Inside you can find laptops with free access and toilet, huge halls with lava samples, stones, movie screens and calm atmosphere Friendly stuff and huge parking inside! I read there a lot about culture and geology, now I know why volcanos are so important for bali people 😍

    Marvelous!!! It has many beautiful and great collection. No entry fee, just need to fi the guest book. But too bad, on my visit, the barcode for the sound information was not aplicable. So I couldnt really understand the information of every collection. The staff also very polite and friendly. But I wish, the toilet is cleaner.

    Very nice building and educational information inside the museum. I definitely recommend for students,locals,and international tourists to visit this museum. A lots of informations on volcanoes and earth matters related. The price is afforable,plenty of parking area, friendly staf and just a minute walk to Gunung Batur Scenery Area.

    To escape the insanity of all the tourists crawling all over one another to take pictures of Mount batur, I recommend definitely stopping at this Museum. It is free. It is extremely interesting, air condition, and teaches you a lot. There are exhibits pertaining to Geo parks, volcanoes, Indonesian volcanoes, tectonic plates, and Indonesian culture.

    I like this kinda nature information. We even got to walk beside the jungle which is part of the museum. But i hope gov pay more attention to this museum to improve its future. The barcode provided was not working. The projector is not working. Some parts are neglected. The toilet has no tissue, it is clean tho, but some has no door. The shops are closed and looked not lively. I pray for the better future for this museum, I'm gonna be back if i have the luck to come back here and wish to see an improved version.

    Interesting museum. Free entrance although I would expect to be changed for this quality display and nice building. Recommended. After the visit you can go in to the village and have a good meal in one of the restaurants.

    Just appeared out the blue while driving to check out Luwak coffee, the whole geography of Bali and the volcanos explained very well with lot of actual stuff which you can touch and feel. Just that the lights depiction the lawa flow etc not working, this could have made it more interesting. But a nice place and very welcome staff. The museum has no entry fee .

    Amazing museum. Good education on Bali volcanoes history from the pre-historic to modern era, also there are some cultures information as well. They have many collections of rocks / frozen lava, good to know that. The entry is free. The only cons, when the power electricity goes off, we cannot see the cinema there as the genset power cannot reach the cinema room, but this totally understable due to during pandemic probably it will be costly to maintain those. Totally recommended 👍👍

    Interesting place to learn about Mount Batur, a member of Indonesia's ring of fire. Mount Batur is an active volcano which also hosts numerous kinds of animals and vegetation, as well as various Balinese traditional communities. The museum displays scenes and samples of rocks, plants, taxidermy, statues and fossils in its two-stories building. A mini theater is also available for visitors to watch a short documentary movie about the volcano and the communities around it. A scenic restaurant is also available nearby (less than 5-minutes walk) where you can enjoy the beautiful view of Mount Batur and its vast Batur Lake, an active caldera of the volcano.

    I will visit again. The first leg of the museum walk is interesting in a boring way (lots of different kinds of stones), but if you are interested in geology and science in general, this is quite informative. Most are in Bahasa. The second leg of the walk is about Balinese Culture, living with active volcanoes, vegetation and animals... Now THIS IS interesting... Again, sadly most arw in Bahasa, Need ENGLISH please! I wish there were more information in English 😉🙃... Please provide translation And it's free. No admission fee, you just need to list your name, date, number of people visiting.

    Very good museum and well worth a visit for information about the history of Batur and other geoparks. Not all signs are in English though. Free entry !!

    The museum has surprised me positively and I learned a lot about volcanos in general and the Mt. Batur specifically. Not all information is translated, but the main information is, which is okay for me as I do not expect the whole world to adapt to English.

    Nice place, with an extensive rock collection and friendly welcome. The toilet is surprisingly clean too. I would recommend a visit if you are in the area.

    The museum is bigger than expected. There are 2 more sections on the second floor and walking the outdoor path leading to them was quite refreshing to us. We spent almost an hour inside. Oh and the toilet on the second floor is surprisingly clean.

    Very interesting yet educational experience learning about mount batur, surrounding mountains and other geological features across Indonesia. Upstairs, there is also a cultural museum showcasing the local culture. Some exibits weren't working, and none of the QR codes worked, but there was still plenty to read and see. Entry is free, but I highly recommend making a small donation to help them out.

    Great place of learning, especially if you're interested in geology and natural history. The whole history of Batur Caldera is absolutely fascinating, especially how it shapes the Balinese culture. The amount of information can be a bit overwhelming though, and the presentation of the exhibit can be a bit hard to follow.

  • 5/5 David C. 1 year ago on Google
    Just fascinating. I hadn’t quite grasped how big the caldera of Mount Agung was. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Several of the displays were in Bahasa only, but enough were in English for us to understand. (And we had been offered an English speaking staff member to accompany us). This should be on everyone’s itinerary.

    Loved it - nice, interesting museum for geologists (vulcanoes), culture and nature FREE of entry. We spent about 2 hours there. About half of the text is in English as well, in addition to a lot of pictures and sculptures. Cool thing, can recommend and would go again
