Ubud is Bali's cultural heart, and it is brimming with attractions. From gorgeous sights to activities, the town offers something for every traveller. As a parent with kids, you've come to the right place.
Opened in 1990, Bali Bird Walk is the idea of ornithologist Victor Mason. The park focuses on conservation by educating people. Some of the earning of the park are directed to conservation projects. There are paved walkways, and 100 different types of birds take shelter at the park. A tour doesn't stretch to more than 20 people, so, you might want to book a tour well ahead of time. Also, you can only visit the park on Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The starting point of tours is Murni's Warung, and the tours start at 9 am and go on until 12.30 pm. Visitors are offered lunch and drinking water.
Glance over the stunning views of the Balinese mountains by taking an off-road bicycle tour. The tour comes with a guide, and you will be cycling through hilly terrains of Ubud. The quaint countryside packed with paddy fields and fruit groves is inviting to nature lovers. You can also cycle through villages where you'll have encounters with the locals. Your kids are going to love this diversion and fall in love with the beautiful scenery.
Take your kids to Pondok Pekak Library and inculcate the love of reading in them. The library offers a wide range of books written in English and Bahasa Indonesia. Your kids can read as well as learn some craftworks. Apart from reading and crafting, Pondok Pekak Library offers dancing lessons. You can visit the library every day from 10 am to 5 pm.
This is a conservation facility found in Ubud that entertains visitors of all ages. At the Bali Zoo, kids can learn a lot about wildlife. A range of animals takes shelter at the zoo, and the place offers a lot of fun activities. Onsite is a brilliant restaurant as well as a water park.
Located within the vicinity of Anantara Ubud Bali Villas, the Tegallalang Rice Terraces are a major landmark in Ubud. It is a hilly terrain with perfectly formed steps with lush fields of rice. The best time to visit is in the morning when the site is at its most scenic. Your kids are going to love walking around, and you'll see groups of people taking pictures of the terraces. Even if you are in Bali in search of Bali homes for sale, make sure you visit the Tegallalang Rice Terraces.
One of the most popular tourist attractions in Ubud, Monkey Forest is a must-visit on your tour in Ubud. However, you need to exercise a little caution when visiting; the monkeys here are known to grab visitors' belongings and run; they are also known to bite. So, take extreme care as you are visiting with your kids.
Located right behind Starbucks is the Ubud Water Palace. With amazing stone carvings and the pond garnished with lilies and fish, the Water Place is an absolute marvel. Right beside is Ubud Art Market, so while visiting the Water Palace, you can enjoy dance performances into the bargain.
If you want to have some time for yourself, you can drop your kids at an indoor playground. These playgrounds are safe for your kids, and your kids get to interact with other kids. There's a range of playgrounds you can choose from. Although these places are safe, make sure you don't leave your kids on their own for too long.
