Schmutzer Primate Center

This facility is inside Ragunan Zoo. Built and managed by corporation between Indonesia government and abroad so we can imagine that since beginning it was great. All facilities here is mostly OK but need more maintenance. After long time not visiting here, I can see less primate, I think but they all are in good condition. There is additional cost for going inside but it is worth to visit. You can make it a place for prewedding photograph but another additional cost.

World class facility inside Ragunan Zoo. Its facilities stand in contrast to the rest of the zoo, which is mostly run down and keep animals in poor condition. When we visited, however, the gorillas were kept in small cages instead of the large enclosure available outside. Also, some staff members were not wearing masks.

I visited Schmutzer several times since it was opened. I really like the place. I'm sad that the facility maintenance is not maximal. There used to be towers that we visitor can climb and monitor the area from above, now it's already broken. I think they need to add more sign board so people don't get lost. I'm hoping someday they could make this place more accessible for people in wheelchair including the elderly.

The place is subpar. It's far from my expectations as the international class Primate Centre, that's what they said on website.
