Bandung 4D/3N Trip with Children during Hari Raya

Bandung is actually quite a nice place to visit for families with children, but it is often under the radar of most people. This is a simple itinerary for my brother's family to consider.


What To Do In Bandung:


1. Trans Studio Theme Park, Bandung
Trans Studio is a great indoor theme park, claiming to be the largest indoor theme park in the world! It has 20 rides and a variety of shows, divided into 3 different and unique zones.
