Solo Baru As Tourism Destination
Do you know Solo Baru or The New Solo? Administratively, Solo Baru is located in the Sukoharjo Regency area but sometimes some people equate it with Solo City. Solo Baru or SoBa developed into a Satellite Town full of modern buildings. Solo Baru has an important role as a buffer city located on the outskirts of a larger city. This city is interesting to visit, especially for millennials. What is interesting in Solo Baru? Here are some of Solo Baru's favorite places that are often used as the destination for travelers both insiders and outsiders:
Shopping Tour: Shopping Center The Park Mall & Hartono Mall
It is undeniable that the lifestyle that has shifted from traditional to modern has also changed the purpose of our lives. Solo Baru is the right solution for urbanites, not only in future-themed work and residence but also a tourist destination for people who prioritize convenience. Experiencing Solo with a metropolitan taste sensation, why not? We must be open to the change. Creativity and innovation that attract people's attention to visit is a form of shifting in the function of the mall which was originally a shopping center. Now, many use it as a meeting point while eating various menu choices offered by the largest shopping center in SoBa.
Chatting, taking photos, doing assignments, browsing, socializing, and gathering with the community while enjoying the restaurant offerings in the mall are some of the activities that are often carried out by visitors, especially young people who have converted the mall into a comfortable hangout place. The availability of various children's play areas that make them feel at home in the mall is also a reason for urban families to make The Park Mall and Hartono Mall a fun family tourist destination but do not need to travel far out of town.
Family Tour: Pandawa Water World Playground (PWW)
This water park that carries the Mahabharata puppet concept provides various rides such as slides, viewing towers, spa areas, swimming pools, restaurants, wave pools to other interesting play facilities suitable for family vacation packages. You just need to prepare 80,000-100,000 IDR as the ticket fee per person. Of course, this price is commensurate with the facilities offered by PWW considering that almost 30 water rides are available as well as several supporting facilities that can be fully accessed by visitors.
The recreation location is Cemara Raya Street, Gedangan, Grogol. It can be reached easily if we are already on the main road or the tourist area of the Pandawa Lima statue roundabout which stands proudly as an icon of Solo Baru. Then, it is enough to choose the direction to the northwest towards the Pandawa complex which is only a distance of about 1 km.
Culinary Tour: Tengkleng Stall Mbak Dyah
It is one of the tengkleng (goat meat and bones soup) stalls that most culinary connoisseurs in Solo Raya require to visit. Apart from being famous for its jumbo portion and soft texture of goat satay, it also has a historical story. Mbak Dyah's tengkleng stall, which is located in the Grogol area, was once the culinary destination of President Soeharto's family when visiting Solo City. This stall, which also serves bone marrow, can be easily reached from Best Western Hotel and Hartono Mall just by walking along the main Soba road to the Tanjunganom area, close to the location of the statue of President Soekarno as the mark.
Well, interesting isn't it? Solo Baru can be your weekend staycation option with your family. (Wiwin)
