More about Trans Studio Bandung
Inside Indonesia’s largest indoor theme parks, Trans Studio Bandung ties together thrill rides, live shows, and family favourites into one bright, air-conditioned sprawl. Three themed zones – Studio Central, Lost City, and Magic Corner – mix a touch of Hollywood sparkle with Indonesia’s own storytelling flair. The Racing Coaster fires riders forward and backward in a blur; Jelajah ends with a jungle plunge and a satisfying splash; Dunia Lain (Another World) walks you straight into Bandung’s ghost tales. Families queue for Super Heroes 4D and Sky Pirates, while little ones lose hours in play zones and marine-life exhibits. With Trans Studio Mall and hotels stitched into the same complex, you can go from roller coasters to dining without ever stepping into the heat.

Trans Studio Bandung’s location and how to get there
Trans Studio Bandung sits along Jalan Gatot Subroto, about a 15-minute drive from Bandung’s city centre and roughly 150 kilometres southeast of Jakarta. The theme park is attached to an entertainment complex that also includes a shopping mall and hotels, so you’re never far from an easy meal.
- By car or taxi: Around 15 minutes from central Bandung, or about half an hour from Husein Sastranegara International Airport, depending on traffic.
- By rideshare: Grab and Gojek operate city-wide and can drop you right at the complex entrance.
- Parking: There’s a secure, multi-level car park inside Trans Studio Mall Bandung, connected straight to the theme park.
- By high-speed train: The new Whoosh service now zips from Jakarta to Bandung in just 30–50 minutes. From Padalarang Station, it’s about a 30-minute taxi or rideshare to the park (depending on the traffic). By train (regular), the Argo Parahyangan service still runs from Jakarta to Bandung Station, followed by a short taxi or rideshare to the park.
Best time of year to visit Trans Studio Bandung
Because it’s indoors, Trans Studio Bandung keeps the fun rolling no matter what the weather’s doing outside. Still, timing your visit can make all the difference. From May to September, the air over Java turns dry and clear: perfect for exploring Bandung’s hill cafés or pairing a park day with a weekend away. Things can ramp up around holidays like Idul Fitri (Eid al-Fitr) and Independence Day (17 August), when local families hit the road, and queues can stretch long. Visit midweek or outside school holidays for gentler crowds, easier pacing, and a few extra spins on your favourite rides.
