  1. Bali offers a lot for children too. I can see that the bird park and the monkey park are great spots for small kids as well as for adults. The rice terraces look beautiful too.

  2. Visiting Bali with kids look interesting. I too travel with kids and therefore loving all your tips. Bird Park and Monkey forest looks amazing and my children would love it. Also rice terraces are very photogenic and you boy looks very cute in that picture where he is holding baskets with the stick. Thanks for sharing.

  3. Bali has always attracted me as a destination despite its reputation of being labeled touristy. Though I am sure I will be annoyed at people goofing around near the Ulun Danu Temple. It is such a beautiful temple set in a picturesque location. The rice fields are so much like the rice fields of India.

  4. What a wonderful post and a great itinerary! I’m glad to hear he had a lovely time in Bali, the pictures look amazing as well! Thank you for sharing this article. You outlined some great ideas for a family visiting Bali.

  5. I’ve never been to Bali and really want to go, and part of that is because of how much there is to do there, as evidenced by your post! The monkey part probably appeals to me the least because I’m not a big fan of the idea of having a bunch of monkeys running all around me and jumping on me from all sides. I’d love to see the rice terraces but agree that places like that have become over commercialized, which is really sad and creates the dilemma of whether I should visit and contribute to the over commercialization or to boycott and not visit something I’ve really wanted to see. Not sure there is a perfect answer to this!

    1. I was beaten by a monkey once when I was in 3rd grade and it made me scare of them until today. But my son wanted to see it, so I could only braved myself, learned not to see them right on the eyes. I don’t have the perfect answer for the rice terraces either, but I know there are plenty of untouched beautiful rice terraces in the island. Hope you will make it there one day!

  6. Focusing your trip around your child is a wonderful way to express your love for him. Losing him would be scary; otherwise I’m glad your family had a wonderful time. I’d like to visit the Ubud Monkey Forest

  7. What a fun time for your son and you. He will always remember the para-sailing and the adventure park. Your article brought back memories of when we took our boys especially the Kecak Dance and visiting the rice terraces. It is really a magical island.

    1. Isn’t it? Even with so many tourists visiting the island. I’ve been there so many times, and still I haven’t visit everything yet.

  8. The bali bird park is so awesome. I can see why your kid loved it. I am also really interested in the rice fields. They look so earthy and serene.

    1. We love Bali Bird Park since we visited it the first time before he was born. Now that he likes to watch animal shows, I knew he would pick Bali Bird Park. And he loved it! Yeah, the rice field is earthy and serene. You can actually find it everywhere in the island. Just talk to the farmer that you want to walk around it.

  9. Bali has always been my favourite destination. I had visited Bali before my son was born. Oddly enough, I never thought of visiting again with my son. Your article changed my mind and i’m looking forward to another trip with him to this paradise!

  10. I visited Bali 13 years ago on my honeymoon, and maybe because of that it is always a romantic/party destination in my mind. Now we travel with our kids, so it’s nice to look at Bali from a different, more kid friendly, point of view. I’d be scared of sending my kids on parasailing (even though they would enjoy it), but everything else looks mighty fun.

    1. I understand that. I did a parasailing before, so it didn’t bother me at all. I hope one day you can bring your children to Bali and enjoy all these mighty fun!

  11. That’s so awesome you put together an itinerary chosen by your son! I was very lucky to be able to give input/make decisions in trip planning with my mom when I was little. It made every vacation very special and further fueled my love of travel. Although I would also be interested in the cultural activities you mentioned, his trip sounds really fun! I love your photos, and they show how much he enjoyed everything : )

    1. Thank you! We’re happy to be able to give him option to make an itinerary for our trip to Bali. I hope it would help him building love of traveling like you had.

  12. Exploring with kids brings everything to a new level, it sounds like fun. All those activities seems to be really enjoyable for all age as well! You probably wouldn’t go anywhere for a $2 ride in the U.S ahah, crazy how cheap it is in Bali !

  13. I have never thought about Bali as a destination for kids so I am glad I read your post. Your son seems to have had the time of his life and I would too if I was there. Although I would be too scared to go zip lining.

    1. There are lots of things to do for kids in Bali but I guess we bombarded more with articles from adults’ experiences.

  14. It’s so refreshing to see this. I never saw Bali or Ubud from a kid’s perspective and it seems like he had lots of fun. There are lots of activities out there! Thanks for sharing.

  15. There are so many places to visit and outdoor activities to do in Bali ! No doubt, your son had a lot of fun 😉 and a lovely time there. He will probably remember each one of them for many years !

    1. Haha… I think it’s easier for us to do that because I’m from Indonesia and the rest of my family are still there. So, a trip to Indonesia in the future is more likely to do again and again.

    1. There are so many places to visit and activities to do in Bali, but if you’re visiting during high season it can be a challenge to pick one after the other. Normally, frequent visitors prefer to stay in a resort and do activities the resort has to offer. During low season, it’s a whole different story though.

    1. I know, especially when you visited during high season when traffic is really bad! If you’re a surfer, Suluban Beach is a must.
