An affordable experience and definitely worth visiting this place. The accompanying film presentation is also interesting to visit. You do not suffer from claustrophobia because then you have a problem. This is also suitable for children to visit.For the rest you stand outside again with 90 minutes. And yet satisfied.

KRI Pasopati 410 is a Whiskey-class submarine, made in Vladi Wostok Russia in 1952. The Submarine participated in Indonesian Navy since January 29, 1962, the main task was to destroy enemy (anti-shipping), monitor and conduct silent raids silent. KRI Pasopati 410 has taken a big role in maintaining marine law.
General characteristics:
Type : Diesel-electric attack submarine
Displacement (Surfaced) : 1,050 tonnes (1,030 long tons)
Displacement (Submerged): 1,340 tonnes (1,320 long tons)
Length : 76 m (249 ft 4 in)
Beam : 6.3 m (20 ft 8 in)
Speed (Surfaced) : 18.25 knots (33.80 km/h)
Speed (Submerged):13.1 knots (24.3 km/h)

Pasopati 410 KRI now mounted on pedestal in Surabaya riverside, this place is popularly called as Monkasel (Monumen Kapal Selam) or Submarine Monument. The monument is on a full scale (not a replica), and one of submarines from the Eastern Division Fleet.
The Submarine Monument is the largest Submarine monument in Asian, which was built on the side of the Kalimas river, Surabaya. This monument was built with the idea of the Navy's elders as a legacy of historical value that reflects Indonesia as a Maritime Nation.
It's very nice to visit this place, we can see the whole classic Whiskey-class submarine. It's one of surviving classic submarines. We can go inside the submarine, then see and explore what's inside. It's really fun, enjoyable, and recommended. Especially for people who loves submarine and history :)

Very nice exhibit. No crowd that I was alone viewing the video montage. Even only one, the show still screened.
First time entered a submarine. Was surprised to see so many sophisticated equipment in an old submarine built by the Russian.
The young lady who was inside checking the ticket was very courteous and she was good in taking nice photo of the interior for tourist. Thank to her.
Overall quite an educational tour.

If you never been inside the Submarine, this place gives you the experience to feel what it's like to live and work inside a small place. Warning...this place is not for people who have Claustrophobia.

This monument is a submarine of the Indonesian army, made in Russia. The whole interior can be seen, from torpedo room over crew sleeping place via captain's cabin and engine room. It can be feel claustrophobic but all machinery is clean and it is interesting to see. Information is too limited but the whole is still good for a leisurely hour around and inside. Very cheap entry price

Entrance was 15,000 idr per person, you can buy it before the entrance on the left hand side, it covers the submarine visit plus a film which we didn't watch (probably in Indonesian).
Interesting to see the insides of a Sub, key descriptions were in English but mlst were still in Bahasa. You can allocate 45 minutes for this visit.
Worth a visit!

We cycled in a group to this area. Although couldn't see the monument clearly since it was at night, the canal was picturesque with all the hanging lights in different shapes strewn across and along the canal. Makes for good photo images.

I went with my 2 boys who found it fascinating to be in a real submarine. There's no guide and the explanation of the different parts of the submarine are posted inside but not very detailed, so don't expect too much, but interesting to visit nevertheless.

Huge General statue at the bay which oversee the sea. Something different from the norm.
For business trip is ok. On Holiday might be a good idea because of lack of facilities around the area.
