Bali is considered by many to be one of the best vacation destinations in South Asia. There's a litany of attraction to see and experience here and it can be even more rewarding to visit here with your kids. Here're the top kids' activities you can do in Bali.
Start the day right by having a hearty breakfast with the entire family – and a troop of friendly orangutans! All of this and more await you at the Bali Zoo Gianyar. These primates are a friendly bunch and will politely share a meal with you and your kids – it's sure to be a memory that your kid will cherish for years to come. Aside from the orangutans, the zoo houses over 300 different animal varieties. These include all kinds of exotic species such as Bengal tigers, African lions, and brown bears from Russia. The zoo also has an excellent bird presentation that'll be of great interest to any aspiring bird-watcher – maybe you got one in your bunch? The Zoo is also only a short drive away from most Bali family resorts – say, for example, the Holiday Inn Resort Baruna Bali – so there's no reason to miss out on this fantastic, kid-friendly attraction.
Waterbom Bali is the ideal destination to visit if you're travelling through Bali with the whole family. Here there's something for everyone. Small children can have some fun in the kid's pools and rides while the older teens can try out some exhilarating waterslides and thrill rides. Don't worry, the park doesn't forget about the parents either. As your kids have fun in the water, you can indulge in a relaxing massage or pedicure to wile away the stress and get the proper vacation vibes rolling in.
If your kids love animals, they'll love what the Bali Safari Marine Park has to offer. Here you can go on an open-door safari along with the park's premises. These are frequented by all manner of animals including axis deer and zebra. These denizens are a docile bunch and will even let you pet and hand-feed them. Essentially, it's a feature-packed safari of Africa and Asia – right here in Bali.
Turtle Island is found just beside the popular Tanjung Benoa Beach. It is an establishment that strives to preserve the endangered green sea turtle. In order to do this, they offer a variety of kid-friendly programs that educate the little ones on the importance of conserving these fascinating marine reptiles. This includes feeding turtles, petting them, and observing the behaviour of new-born turtles in their tanks.
If your kids love the water and they love exploring, they'll adore the Ocean Walker experience. This establishment is located near one of the best beaches Bali has to offer – Amuk Bay. Here, you can enjoy a bit of diving in a controlled environment – so that it's safe for the kids. During your dive, you'll encounter plenty of marine life, from colourful reef fish to curious eels bobbing in and out of the corals.
