Ubud suits older kids, but it has no beach. The Bird Park, Bali Zoo and Bali Safari Park are between Ubud and Sanur, 30–60 minutes away. Buy wildlife park tickets online — they're noticeably cheaper than at the gate. Arrive at opening time, when animals are livelier and the parks are still cool. Remove any place with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another nearby — the times recalculate. ## Day 2: Bali Safari Park Bali Safari Park covers about 40 hectares with more than 100 species, from Komodo dragons and orangutans to tigers, zebras and hippos. The open-sided bus safari through Indonesian, Indian and African zones is included in the basic ticket. Pack swimwear for the kids' water park, hats and water. In the evenings there's a night safari, usually with dinner and at extra cost. It's late for toddlers, but older kids tend to remember it most. ## Day 3: calm water at Nusa Dua Nusa Dua beach has white sand and calm water inside the reef — one of Bali's best for swimming with children. Swim at high tide: at low tide it's very shallow. In the neighbouring Tanjung Benoa lagoon there are banana boats, parasailing and snorkelling; for kids, the banana boat and a glass-bottom boat ride are easiest. The equatorial sun is strong: children need rash vests and sunscreen, and the hottest hours are best spent in the shade. ## More family ideas The [Monkey Forest](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/ubud-monkey-forest) in Ubud suits older kids who aren't afraid of monkeys. The [Tirta Gangga](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/tirta-gangga) water palace, with koi and stepping stones, works for every age. For easy shore snorkelling, try [Pemuteran](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/pemuteran) or [Amed](https://yesgo.io/indonesia/bali/amed), where the sea is calm. ## Tips - Stay in Nusa Dua or Sanur: calm sea and short drives. - Book wildlife park tickets online — cheaper than at the gate. - Swim at high tide: Nusa Dua is shallow at low tide. - Rash vests and sunscreen for kids: the equatorial sun is strong. - Pay in Indonesian rupiah (IDR).
