The scattered sites are located in the town of Mojokerto, around 1.5 hrs drive from the city of Surabaya (East Java). Once could start from the Museum, to get the basic idea of the history of the Kingdom.
Being a huge fan of Indonesian History, these well preserved sites, on top of a good background from the museum guide, really worth the visit.
It is an easy full day trip from Surabaya.
Really recommended
