Irung Petruk Park is open every day from 8 am to 9 pm. Not only offers beauty for sunrise hunters, but also the view of the sparkling lights at night. To enter this park area, you only need to pay 5,000 IDR per person accompanied by a parking fee of 2,000 IDR for motorcycles and 5,000 IDR for cars. In addition to the affordable ticket price, the route from downtown Boyolali to Irung Petruk Park is also easy, only 10-13 km from downtown Boyolali with smooth paved roads without obstacles. It is not surprising that almost every day, Irung Petruk Park is always crowded with visitors. Even on weekends, it is advisable to use a motorized vehicle, considering the limited parking space and the density of tourists who flock to bring their families.

Culinary tour

Who is not tempted by a bowl of Boyolali's signature Soto Ayam (Chicken Soto) for 7,000 IDR and one skewers of quail eggs 3,000 IDR? Especially if all the culinary that we have bought can be eaten at various interesting spots that offer views of the green trees from a height.
