History
[edit]Jatim Park was founded in 2001 by Paul Sendjojo.

In addition, Jatim Park Group is also working with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry in developing Jawa Timur Park 2 content.

In 2016, a human body museum with the name "The Bagong Adventure" was inaugurated. This 1.4-hectare museum is the only human body museum in Indonesia. The museum is not only from the museum's content about the human body, but also from a collection of cadavers, or preserved human organs.
