The tourist attractions are called Agro Piknik Marina Batam. To go here, you can go through the three intersections of Temiang gas station towards Tanjung Riau or Marina Waterfront, the entrance gate is about 3 km on the left side of the road. From the gate, the entrance takes about 2 minutes ride. If you stay at Harris Resort Marina Waterfront or Holiday Inn, this place is just 5 minutes ride from there. Entrance ticket per per March 2020 is Rp 15,000 per person for adults and Rp 10,000 per child. The fee includes parking and mineral water or food for rabbits. The first sight that we find here is the Chelosia flower garden located on the left after the entrance. Besides Chelosia flowers, there are also sunflowers and some other colourful flowers. In the middle of flower garden is a bird's nest with an attractive shape. Visitors usually use this spot for photo background. This bird nest shape is quite interesting and colourful so it is indeed great for photo spot. There are also several selfie spots around the park that were built to take pictures for the visitors. Continue to the side of the park there is a shady area that also functions as a playground and rest. There is a sand pool which is also an arena for playing beko for rent by the manager. In addition there are also seats and swings. To exchange tickets for mineral water or carrots can be done in the management tent which is located not far from the park. Here, we can also rent some rides such as archery and horse riding.

Next is quite interesting is the existence of rice fields located at the very back. Indeed the land in Batam is not good for rice fields. But in Agro Picnic there is a patch of rice fields that can grow, even though we did not see rice when we visited there. In addition there are also gardens of strawberry, corn and others.
