Going for a vacation with young or teenage kids is a little different from going for a vacation solo or with your partner. Obviously, adult-only spots are off the Bali family itinerary, and instead, the attractions you visit need to be fun and engaging enough for the attention span of your children. Here are some of the best things to do in Bali with your family, that will be fun for everyone involved!
If you have young kids and/or animal lovers in your family, then the Bali Zoo is a must-add to your Bali family itinerary. The zoo is slightly different than a conventional zoo in that visitors often get to engage directly with some of the animals. You can do things such as have breakfast in the company of orangutans, pet deers and other domesticated animals, feed the elephants, and so much more. Your entire family will also learn more about different varieties of animals; so because it provides an educational and fun trip, visiting the Bali Zoo is one of the best things to do in Bali with family
While you can go to the beaches of Bali to relax and swim in the sea, both adults and children alike would really enjoy a trip to Waterbom Water Park Bali. This water park in Kuta has a wide variety of slides and rides for your whole family to enjoy, and it is easy to spend an entire day here just trying everything and swimming around. This attraction is especially worth the trip if your kids are old enough to go on all the slides, even the very adrenaline-pumping ones
For those with children above the age of 10, white water rafting at Telaga Waja is the perfect way to spend some quality family time while having a splashing fun time on a river. All white water rafters will be given safety jackets and helmets, so it’s safe for older kids and adults. The rapids of Telaga Waja are challenging enough and are sure to thrill adventure enthusiasts. If you have younger kids above 5, consider rafting at Ayung River, which has slower flows and smaller obstacles.
Older children, teenagers, and even seniors in your family will appreciate a trip to Bali’s Uluwatu Temple, which is a well-known clifftop seaside Balinese Hindu temple. This temple is said to have existed since before the 11th century and thus, really has a unique aura to it. It is also a great place for photos, and on top of that, this is the place to watch the traditional Balinese Kecak dance in the evenings. The sunset here is pretty glorious too, so definitely add this place to your Bali family itinerary if you can.
You may be wondering why this beach is on the list of best things to do in Bali with family when there are numerous other beaches around too. The main reason is that Tanjung Benoa Beach offers the Seawalker experience, which is something you shouldn’t miss especially if anyone in your family can’t swim and have been avoiding snorkelling or diving. This experience allows you to put on a special helmet with an oxygen tube attached and then descend to the seafloor to walk among the fishes. No swimming knowledge is required for this, and it will be a thrilling experience for all members of the family (above the age of 8). Besides the Seawalker experience, there are also an array of other water sports available at Tanjung Benoa for all to enjoy such as jet skiing, flyboarding, kayaking, and many more.
Lastly, for the best family-friendly holiday experience, be sure to stay at Club Med Bali!
