Sidoarjo
Spend a half‑day in Sidoarjo for the museums and waterpark; add another half‑day if you want fishing or shopping.
Sidoarjo sits just south of Surabaya in East Java. Its main draws are a handful of museums, a waterpark, fishing parks and a modest shopping mall. A single half‑day covers the highlights; a full day lets you add fishing or extra shopping.
