Museum Geopark Batur

The museum is bigger than expected. There are 2 more sections on the second floor and walking the outdoor path leading to them was quite refreshing to us. We spent almost an hour inside. Oh and the toilet on the second floor is surprisingly clean.

Very good museum and well worth a visit for information about the history of Batur and other geoparks. Not all signs are in English though. Free entry !!

Interesting place to learn about Mount Batur, a member of Indonesia's ring of fire. Mount Batur is an active volcano which also hosts numerous kinds of animals and vegetation, as well as various Balinese traditional communities. The museum displays scenes and samples of rocks, plants, taxidermy, statues and fossils in its two-stories building. A mini theater is also available for visitors to watch a short documentary movie about the volcano and the communities around it.

A scenic restaurant is also available nearby (less than 5-minutes walk) where you can enjoy the beautiful view of Mount Batur and its vast Batur Lake, an active caldera of the volcano.

My favorite museum for now here in Kintamani. Free entrance (as I understand), just need registration. Few floors, huge halls with information!

It was very interesting to know about eruption, volcanos and geology of islands in Indonesia. I enjoyed time there!

Inside you can find laptops with free access and toilet, huge halls with lava samples, stones, movie screens and calm atmosphere

Friendly stuff and huge parking inside!
I read there a lot about culture and geology, now I know why volcanos are so important for bali people 😍

I will visit again.

The first leg of the museum walk is interesting in a boring way (lots of different kinds of stones), but if you are interested in geology and science in general, this is quite informative. Most are in Bahasa.

The second leg of the walk is about Balinese Culture, living with active volcanoes, vegetation and animals... Now THIS IS interesting... Again, sadly most arw in Bahasa, Need ENGLISH please!

I wish there were more information in English 😉🙃... Please provide translation

And it's free. No admission fee, you just need to list your name, date, number of people visiting.

To escape the insanity of all the tourists crawling all over one another to take pictures of Mount batur, I recommend definitely stopping at this Museum. It is free. It is extremely interesting, air condition, and teaches you a lot. There are exhibits pertaining to Geo parks, volcanoes, Indonesian volcanoes, tectonic plates, and Indonesian culture.

Loved it - nice, interesting museum for geologists (vulcanoes), culture and nature FREE of entry. We spent about 2 hours there. About half of the text is in English as well, in addition to a lot of pictures and sculptures. Cool thing, can recommend and would go again

Interesting museum. Free entrance although I would expect to be changed for this quality display and nice building.
Recommended.
After the visit you can go in to the village and have a good meal in one of the restaurants.

Free to visit Museum displaying volcanic rocks and detailed geological history of Mt Batur and formation of other volcanoes on the island. Nice and quiet inside, clean toilets.

Nice place, with an extensive rock collection and friendly welcome. The toilet is surprisingly clean too. I would recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Only thing is that they should have English explanations as well as Bahasa Indonesia. There are some but a lot of the display is Indo only.

I recommend this place to visit and the service there is very good

The museum has surprised me positively and I learned a lot about volcanos in general and the Mt. Batur specifically. Not all information is translated, but the main information is, which is okay for me as I do not expect the whole world to adapt to English.

The place is free. The samples in exhibit is marvelous. However, I wish they would put English translation to all of their captions, as currently only some have them.

A fantastic, informative museum.
The place offers a peaceful break from the hawkers on the street. There are several different exhibits on top of the geological ones, such as flora and fauna, and Balinese culture.
Best of all, it's free.

If you like something quiet and museum.. It's recommended. The first Unesco Geopark. Comfortable. And, very friendly staffs. A lot of knowledge about mount Batur, its area & culture. Enjoy guys!

Can see a part of the explanation of how this world was formed with Big Bang Theory belief and how Volcanoes Make UBUD rich stones for carving and the fertile lands that has been wild spread. Beautiful land... Beautiful culture...

Just fascinating. I hadn’t quite grasped how big the caldera of Mount Agung was. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Several of the displays were in Bahasa only, but enough were in English for us to understand. (And we had been offered an English speaking staff member to accompany us). This should be on everyone’s itinerary.

As museum, it is the best place to learn about the mountain and its area in Bali. And also about Balinese culture, people, animals, environment, and history. It does not require an entrance fee. It is open during weekdays.

Sadly, the displays are not maintained seriously, including the flow. The only available information sheets are the printed version that mounted on the wall. It should be added with enriched audio-visual contents. Particularly, there is no person who is assigned to accompany and explain the information to the quests.

The place is good and awesome. Free entrance & parking. Very very educational, especially for someone who likes geology or anything else.
