Bali Zoo,Bali

Bali Zoo (located in Gianyar Regency, near Ubud) is one of Bali's leading wildlife and conservation centres. Since opening in the early 2000s it has played a role in wildlife conservation, captive-breeding programs, and environmental education for both local communities and tourists. The zoo showcases a mix of Indonesian and international species and contributes to regional conservation awareness, particularly for endangered Indonesian species.

Best Time to Visit

Dry season (April to October) is generally the most comfortable — mornings are cooler and ideal for animal activity. Visiting early in the day can increase chances of seeing active animals.

Weather Conditions

Tropical climate: warm and humid year-round. Dry season (April–October) is sunnier; wet season (November–March) brings higher chance of heavy showers and short rainstorms.

Entry Fees & Permits

Opening hours commonly around 09:00–17:00 (check official site for current times). Entry fees and premium experiences (e.g., Breakfast with Orangutans, Night Safari, elephant encounters) vary — prices change seasonally and with packages. It's recommended to book online in advance for special experiences and to confirm current rates.

Accessibility

Located in Gianyar (near Ubud) — approximately 30–45 minutes from central Ubud and about 45–90 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport (Denpasar), depending on traffic. Public transport is limited; best reached by taxi, private transfer, or tour operator. The zoo has accessible paths but check in advance for specific mobility needs and available facilities.

Recommended Duration

Half-day to full day (3–5 hours) to comfortably experience main exhibits and at least one encounter or show. Add more time if booking dining experiences or the Night Safari.

Clothing & Gear Tips

Lightweight, breathable clothing; comfortable walking shoes; sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen); light rain jacket during wet season; insect repellent for evenings; a small water bottle (refill where allowed).

Local Food & Souvenirs

On-site cafes offer family-friendly meals and snacks. Nearby areas (Ubud and Gianyar) have many local warungs serving Balinese cuisine (try nasi campur or bebek betutu). Souvenirs: plush animals, locally made wood carvings, batik textiles, and conservation-themed merchandise sold at the zoo shop.
