Bali is not just hanging around the pool or beach with the kids; instead, the place is a treat for the entire family. Read on and discover some very exciting places to visit promising loads of fun for all.
Head over to the Temega Tree House in Karangasem and you have a restaurant cum tree house and a suspension bridge to enjoy. Loved by teens, and adults alike, the place is ideal for a day of adventure and time in the folds of nature. Start off with a delicious local meal at the restaurant, then leave your table and head along the suspension bridge to the tree-house, from there you can enjoy expansive views of the surrounding region, including the terraced paddy fields Karangasem is famous for.
Well, this is what fun things in Bali is all about, the ideal adventure to plan with family or friends; Sea Safari's dinner cruises are loads of fun. For starters, you actually get to wear pirate costumes, act like a pirate for a night and join in the fun games, organised by non-other than the pirate crew. And it's not just kids who get to enjoy the cruise, everyone does, especially the entertainment consisting of belly dancers, daredevil fire dancers, games and prizes. Apart from all the activity, you can look forward to a delicious dinner buffet and the thrills of sailing into the setting sun.
The personalised family accommodation Bali has on offer is pretty awesome, hence, the island does welcome a lot of kids; and there's no better place to let the little tykes blow off some energy than Bali Treetop Adventure in Bedugul. On offer are the thrills of swinging through trees and walking along the elevated bridges connecting each tree. There are a total of 7 circuits offering varying degrees of difficulty and a chance to show your skills at 72 obstacles. Levels climb as high as 200 metres, quite a treat for the adrenaline junky. All climbers are secured with safety wires, and kids are often known to put adults to shame here.
Pretend to be floating around everyday objects, inside a common house, which is placed – upside down. Everything is turned upside down, and you get to have lots of fun pretending to be floating around the rooms or hanging onto objects for dear life. Within half an hour's drive from properties such as Holiday Inn Resort Bali Benoa, this place is ideal for families or friends looking to relish a good laugh together.
Take the kids to their ultimate dream destination – a chocolate factory! Watch in fascination as cocoa beans are transformed into your favourite chocolate bars and look forward to sampling the end product later. The entire factory is built from bamboo, and quite a treat to explore. In fact, this place has been dubbed the largest commercial bamboo structure by CNN.
