Ibarbo Park: Tickets, Rides, and Its Cartoon Town Concept
Ibarbo Park on Jalan Magelang km 14, Sleman offers a 4.3-hectare cartoon town concept. Here is regular tickets, all-access passes, and opening hours.
Ibarbo Park sits at Jalan Magelang kilometer 14, Dusun Jetis, Caturharjo, in Sleman District, Sleman Regency. It’s located right along the national road connecting Yogyakarta and Magelang, about 13 to 15 kilometers from the Tugu Jogja landmark, roughly a 30-minute drive.
Since it sits on the main route, the way there is simple: from Tugu Jogja, take Jalan Magelang north and keep going until kilometer 14. It’s also easily reached by ride-hailing motorbike or car without needing to transfer.
A Cartoon-Town Concept with Daily Live Shows
Ibarbo Park’s main draw is entirely visual. The Funtown area is designed to resemble an animated town, with rows of brightly colored miniature buildings, artistic installations, and flower gardens — a concept management markets as Indonesia’s first cartoon town, and exactly why the place spread quickly on social media.
Another standout zone is Ibarbo Aviary, a bird area housing both local and international species in an interactive setup. Right next to it sits a mini zoo with hands-on animal feeding, letting kids feed the animals directly.
What sets Ibarbo apart from similar recreation parks in Sleman is its show schedule. Several scheduled events run throughout the day, including the Specta Animal Show, Free Fly Show, Anoman Obong Show, a flashmob parade, and a Dragon Parade — all included in the standard entry ticket, with no extra charge.
The roughly 4.3-hectare park also houses a restaurant that seats up to a thousand people and a souvenir center selling batik, bakpia pastries, toys, and Yogyakarta crafts. That combination makes it a popular choice for large groups wanting to combine recreation and souvenir shopping in a single stop.
Two Ticket Types, Add-On Rides, and Opening Hours
Ibarbo Park has been officially operating since 2024, making it a relative newcomer among Sleman’s recreation destinations.
The ticket system splits into two tiers. Regular tickets run around IDR 30,000 per person — some sources note IDR 35,000 on weekends and national holidays — covering access to the Aviary, Plaza, Funtown, and every scheduled daily show. The all-access pass runs around IDR 60,000 Monday through Friday and IDR 65,000 on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, adding access to several rides like the 360 Crazy Ride, VR Zone, Monster House, Pink Slide, ball pit, and Mini Train.
A few rides remain outside both packages and are sold individually, ranging from IDR 10,000 to IDR 60,000. Examples include the VR Zone and Horse Ride at around IDR 20,000, the Big Car at around IDR 25,000, and the priciest, the Kereta Kencana carriage ride, at around IDR 60,000. That math matters: if you’re planning to try several rides, the all-access pass is almost always cheaper than paying individually.
One detail parents often overlook — children taller than 80 centimeters are already charged full price, based on height rather than age.
The park operates roughly 9 AM to 6 PM daily. During long holiday periods, management has extended hours into the evening, so it’s worth checking the official @ibarbopark account before heading over, since schedules and rates can change.

Final Thoughts
Ibarbo Park delivers a full package in one location: rides, animals, shows, dining, and souvenirs — something rarely available all at once at other Sleman recreation destinations. The key is picking the right ticket, since the gap between regular and all-access determines how many rides you can enjoy without extra cost.
