so as the last bastion to protect rare plants Bogor botanical garden still try to make it comes true,with the development in any sector they have.

fasilities :

- mosque
- etc


my opinion :

Although ragunan zoo is bigger than Bogor botanical garden, i felt tired when i looked around ,perhaps it could be better if sightseeing car available.and also the cleanliness Bogor had a beautiful view i hope it still maintained.
