Detailed study of rice and water politics, harvesting, management. Guided tour. Very detailed. Took about an hour. A bit confusing to drive to.

Welcomed by ladies in the uniform and was asked to pay 10K per pax (local tourist). Then she escorted us to the nearby building functioned as a museum and started explaining things in details manners.

How to start plant the rice, what tool the ancient farmer used to use, how many days it needs to be done etc etc. Last, she showed us a model of old Balinese village. All of this took about an hour.

No modern visual, no written story, just listen to the details story from the lady herself (that is unfortunately, a bit plain and boring)

After finished with the guided tour, we walked ourselves to the surrounding of the museum only to find that there is a real old traditional Balinese village standing there but it was locked ????u200d♀️

Why showing the model/miniature when you actually have the real ones next to you?

This place is a bit dissappointing, could have been much better than just tell the story with flat tone and boring look to the visitors

I had very pleasant experience. It is small exebittion very good guided by passionate staff. Now I get much clearer picture of traditional crop growing and rice terraces has whole new meaning for me. It took me about 30 minutes, and price of 15000idr is fair. I found this gem by chance while waiting for a bus to Java.

A great place to learn and add to the science of agriculture in ancient times.
Where all the tools used are still traditiobal tools.

First time visiting here! Great experience to learn about Subak and how the traditional irrigation system be done. Love seeing the traditional tools as well.

It's all about Bali's agriculture. Start from the Balinese farmer's traditional tools, equipment, more about irrigation system called 'subak', and many more related to that. Only the building need to be improved and probably need a better maintenance. But it's highly recomended to be visited with young kids and adults.
