WITH KIDS
A reef-protected lagoon at Sanur, a serious water park in Kuta, and no pavements anywhere.
Waterbom Bali
A large, well-run water park in Kuta with graded slides, a lazy river and a shaded toddler zone under old trees. Ages 3+.
Sanur Beach
A reef breaks the swell, leaving a shallow, flat lagoon and a five-kilometre paved path for bikes and prams. Any age.
Bali Safari and Marine Park
Drive-through enclosures at Gianyar with a water park attached and elephant and lion viewing from a tram. A full day. Ages 3+.
Bali Bird Park
Walk-in aviaries and free-flight shows on a compact, shaded site near Batubulan; two hours does it. Ages 2+.
Drivers, prams and Nyepi
There are no usable pavements — hire a car and driver for around 600,000–800,000 IDR a day. Nyepi, in March, closes the island and the airport entirely.
