The Bali Safari and Marine Park is an expansive haven for exotic animals native to Indonesia and those brought in from India and Africa.

Witness them in their natural habitats on safaris, capture photographs of the wildlife, and learn everything about nature through interactive encounters and animal shows.

Follow this guide to make your trip to the Bali Safari and Marine Park fuss-free!

Embark on a Thrilling Wildlife Journey at Bali Safari and Marine Park

The park is home to more than 100 species of animals, including rare and endangered ones, such as the Sumatran elephant, Komodo dragon, and more.

You can take your pick from the Jungle Hopper safari tram, elephant-back ride, or the Bali safari in a 4×4 jeep. All the rides take you right into the heart of the park, where you can see the wild animals from a stone’s throw distance.

There are dozens of animal shows, encounters, and feeding sessions where you can interact with animals like elephants, orangutans, and even alpha predators like tigers.

And hey, don’t forget to witness the Bali Agung Show, the spectacular cultural extravaganza performed by more than 150 Balinese dancers and musicians.

Fusing traditional and contemporary theatrical arts, this show showcases a timeless journey through Bali’s history, culture, and heritage, with the tragic hero, King Sri Jaya Pangus, and his love story with his Chinese wife, Kang Ching Wie, central themes of the show.

Bali Safari Park

This theme park is filled with critters whose species never set foot in Bali until their cage door opened (tigers, lions, elephants, hippos, rhinos etc). Entry is by package tickets that can be tailored to interests – opt for safaris, a Bali Agung show, waterpark access, animal shows, meals, night safaris and more. Note that animal shows and rides are offered here despite there being overwhelming evidence that shows and rides are harmful for animals such as elephants.

The park is near Pantai Lebih ; free shuttles run to tourist centres across south Bali. Tickets are cheapest when purchased online.

Bali Zoo Review: Experience, Prices & Photos

A zoo is a zoo, and once you’ve seen one, you might think you’ve seen them all, but the Bali Zoo is a bit special and probably different from any other zoo you’ve visited!

The great thing about the Bali Zoo is that it has a lot of animals native to Bali, Java, and the rest of Indonesia and Southeast Asia, so it’s extra relevant for anyone traveling in this part of the world.

It also happens to be a pretty good zoo in its own right, so we decided to write this Bali zoo review after visiting it several times ourselves.

They even have some fun events where you can interact with the animals in a limited setting, such as the ‘breakfast with orangutans’ package, but everything seems to be well managed and ethically run.

This travel guide will explain where the Bali Zoo is, how to get there, current ticket prices, and everything else you need to know before you go!

Our Bali Zoo Review: What To Expect

We’ve been to the Bali Zoo a few times now, and still haven’t seen everything.

It’s not exactly huge, but there’s plenty to see: birds, tigers, sun bears, all kinds of monkeys, and much more.

As of 2024, the zoo is also expanding, with a new African savanna section that features lions, meerkats, hyenas, and zebras. They’re also working on adding rhinos and giraffes.

You can see most of the zoo in a few hours, so what I generally do is book a driver for the whole day and then combine the zoo with other sightseeing trips in Bali. But if you want to do extra activities at the zoo (e.g. breakfast with the orangutans), then you could easily stay longer.

It’s also possible to book your zoo tickets online, with hotel transfers included.

Animal Encounters & Extra Activities

The Bali Zoo has lots of ‘animal encounters’ where you can interact with the animals. This includes the elephants, orangutans, gibbons, lemurs, deer, goats, rabbits, and wallabies.

Generally this means the animals have a big enclosure that you can walk through as a guest while the animals go about their business.

If you come during feeding time and pay a little extra, you can also help feed chunks of meat to the tigers and crocodiles (from a safe distance), so that’s fun too.

You can have your photo taken professionally with the tropical birds (extra charge), or it’s free to hold them and take your own pics if you want.

Bali Zoo Breakfast With Orangutans Baby

Baby orangutan!

Breakfast With Orangutans

One of the special attractions at the Bali Zoo is to have breakfast with the orangutans and elephants.

We did this on our latest visit to the zoo, and it was a blast! It’s actually one of my favorite things at the whole zoo.

At our breakfast area, there were 2 orangutans, 2 elephants, a few tropical birds, a gibbon with its baby, and a pangolin (mammal from Java).

This sounds like a recipe for chaos, but everything is handled professionally by the zoo staff, and the dining area has plenty of space for the animals and people.

The animals won’t be literally sitting at the breakfast table with you, but they’re sitting nearby with some greens of their own to eat, and you can snap pictures before, during, and after your meal.

My woman being teased by an orangutan at the Bali Zoo

In 2022, the Bali Zoo welcomed its first baby orangutan, named Gandhi! He was 3 months old when we visited, so we got to see him at breakfast, although he was kept at a safe distance since the mother is still protective.

The breakfast is a big buffet with a wide selection of fruit, pancakes, rolls, omelets, bacon, sausages, rice, noodles, veggies, and more. For drink choices, you have natural fruit juice (orange or watermelon), coffee, tea, or water.

Everything at the breakfast buffet was very fresh and good, but the main highlight for us was seeing the baby orangutan!

Bali Zoo Breakfast With Orangutans Baby

At the ‘breakfast with orangutans,’ we got to see this little guy from a safe distance.

One of my only gripes with the Bali Zoo is that they don’t have a better Komodo dragon exhibit. Especially with Bali being so close to their natural habitat, you would expect to see this covered better.

The zoo apparently has two of the Komodo dragons, but they were totally absent every time I’ve been there.

Not everyone has time to hop over to the Komodo islands to see these!

The Bali Safari & Marine Park successfully bred more than a dozen baby Komodo dragons recently, so hopefully the Bali Zoo will start a similar program.

Komodo dragons are endangered in the wild, so this kind of project is great for conservation.

Animal Welfare At The Bali Zoo

The animals at the Bali Zoo seem to be healthy and well treated. The zoo staff are friendly and helpful, and everything is kept pretty clean and ethical. We haven’t noticed mistreatment of any kind in our several visits to the zoo.

I know not everyone is a fan of zoos, but it’s undeniable that they play an important role in animal conservation via breeding, funding, education, and more.

You can interact with some of the animals, but none of the encounters are forced and some of the deer, wallabies, and such are even free to roam around the zoo as they please (no roaming tigers, don’t worry).

The tigers and lions have big glass enclosures with good visibility. The lemurs have a big zone to hang out in, and you can walk through it freely, but they were super friendly and had plenty of room to come and go as they please.

All in all, I give the Bali Zoo a big thumbs up — lots of great animals and a good overall experience. If you have time for it, I think it’s a worthwhile addition to your Bali holiday!

Ticket Prices

These are the ticket prices for tourists as of 2022. The prices for Indonesian locals are a bit lower.

  • Adults: 355k IDR ($25 USD)
  • Children: 250k IDR ($17 USD)
  • Extra Activities: Check the Bali Zoo website for the latest prices

Hours Of Operation

The hours of operation for the Bali Zoo are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

If you do the breakfast with orangutans, it generally starts at about 7:30 AM, before the rest of the zoo is open to visitors, so your small group will have the place to yourselves for awhile.

There are also lots of extra animal encounters and other activities scheduled throughout the day!

Where Is The Bali Zoo? How To Get There

The Bali Zoo is located in the Sukawati area, halfway between Sanur and Ubud.

It’s a 20 minute drive from Ubud, 30 minutes from Sanur, or about 1 hour from Kuta, Seminyak, or Canggu.

The best way to get there is to rent a scooter or hire a private car and driver (both of these can be booked online).

If you want to see the Bali Bird Park while you’re at it, that’s only about 5-10 minutes from the zoo!

Bali Private Driver & Motorbike Rental

If you want to explore Bali in the comfort and safety of a private car with an English speaking driver, my top recommendation would be GetYourGuide .

Their price is 650k Rupiah ($45 USD) for a full day of driving and sightseeing in Bali (up to 10 hours) for 1-5 passengers. That's the total price for the whole car + driver + petrol! It's a great deal. They also offer affordable hotel transfers from the airport.

If you'd rather travel by motorbike, they have that too. Their scooter rentals start at 140k Rupiah (~$9) and include a helmet, rain coat, and free delivery in the south Bali area.

We've used GetYourGuide for lots of tours and activities around the world, and they're great! Highly recommended.

Bali Zoo FAQs

Bali Zoo offers a unique and engaging experience with various animal encounters. Visitors can enjoy close interactions like hand-feeding elephants, petting deer, holding tropical birds, and cuddling with orangutans, making it a memorable visit for animal lovers and families.

The key difference between a traditional zoo and a safari park lies in the animal housing approach. Bali Safari Park provides a more natural, open environment for animals, akin to wildlife habitats, making it a distinctive choice for those seeking a more immersive and educational experience with a wide range of animals.

Generally, a few hours are sufficient to explore most of Bali Zoo. However, for those interested in additional activities like breakfast with orangutans, a longer stay is recommended. Combining the zoo visit with other Bali sightseeing trips is a popular option for many visitors.

Bali Zoo, located near Ubud in Sukawati, spans 22 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. It is home to over 400 animals from various parts of the world, offering a comprehensive and educational wildlife experience for families and wildlife enthusiasts.

Bali Zoo provides a unique opportunity to feed elephants, allowing visitors to interact closely with these magnificent creatures in a tropical setting, enhancing the overall zoo experience.

Bali Zoo focuses on exhibiting animals in enclosures, whereas Bali Safari Park emphasizes a free-roaming environment for animals, replicating a natural habitat. Bali Safari Park offers educational encounters with animals from Indonesia, Africa, and India.

While Bali Zoo provides care for its animals, captivity inherently cannot fully replicate the natural needs of wild animals. As such, no facilities in Bali or Lombok are currently recognized as completely ethical wildlife viewing venues.

The Bali Safari and Marine Park offer various packages, with the Adventure Package starting from IDR 540,000 per person, including safari, aquarium, elephant show, and tax. For an exclusive experience like breakfast with lions, the package is priced at Rp675,000.

Bali Zoo, the island’s first zoological park, is a sanctuary for over 500 rare and exotic animals, set within a lush, tropical environment, providing an educational and fascinating experience for visitors.

Housing over 500 animals across 70 species native to Indonesia, Bali Zoo is a haven for various wildlife, including birds, reptiles, and mammals. Key attractions include lions, tigers, crocodiles, otters, gibbons, cockatoos, deer, elephants, and orangutans.

Established in 2020, Bali Zoo is the island’s pioneering animal conservation facility, owned and maintained by Anak Agung Gde Putra, Lesmana’s father, who has dedicated years to its care.

Bali Zoo opened its doors in 2002, marking its place as the first Balinese-owned zoological park. It was independently founded by Mr. Anak Agung Gde Putra in the Sukawati district of Gianyar , in his native village of Singapadu.

Rhinos Bali safari

Bali Safari park review after 2023

During the pandemic of 2020, there was a huge promo to visit the Bali Safari park. Don’t confuse this one with the Bali Zoo, that’s a totally different zoo. In October 2022, I visited again as a family trip, and it was a very different experience for both the audience and the staff.

The park is located in the east of Bali. Nearby you have the chance to eat the biggest burger of Bali . It takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to get to Bali Safari Park from Seminyak or south.

This post contains affiliate links. If you use these links to buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It helps me a lot if you’d buy .

The opening times for Bali Safari Park are different depending on what ticket you buy. The most common and popular one is during the day, these opening times are from 9 am to 5 pm. If you go for the night safari, then the opening time is from 6 pm to 10 pm, and some parts will close earlier, like the night safari walk. For more information about ticket pricing and opening times (which can vary) do check at this webpage of Bali Safari Marine Park . At the time of writing the prices start from 640k IDR and up, which is 40 USD and up depending what ticket you want. You can even pay 77.50 AUD per person as per comment. It can be a costly venture, make sure to read the website.

Buy your ticket for Bali Safari Marine Park with the Best Price Guarantee. Different options are available.

The Entrance

Bali safari entrance by car

You can reach the park by scooter, car or van. If you have a reservation for Bali Safari park you could mention it here. You will get some directions on where to park (depending on your vehicle type) and you could walk from there to the ticket booth. If you have only made reservations and or don’t have your ticket yet you would need to collect them here.

You will get some wristbands here. You don’t need to put it on yourself, it can make the scanning of your bar/QR code difficult. Just scan the code first, this happens further at the small gate. Then there will be staff for you to put it on. After this, you would need to wait for the bus. It’s a few minutes’ ride to the actual park.

You will also be checked for any foods and drinks. It is not allowed to bring inside the park. I was with my daughter 3 years old. I had some things for her, the milk she’d like and her own brand snacks specially for kids. This wasn’t an issue for me at the time. We were with 3, and it was visible we only had something for our little one. No issue because of this.

Aquariums and Bali Marine park

Your start begins with the part filled with the aquarium. It’s a bit nice and cool here in terms of temperature. Other than that there is a lot to see. The marine park itself is still “coming soon”, this happened also on my last visit about 3 years ago.

zoo bali safari

Piranha feeding

The piranha’s feeding starts from 10 am to 12 pm and from 1 pm to 4 pm. So if you are a bit early and want to see it. It will cost 70k IDR (US $4.50) per 2 baits. Here is a short YouTube clip of how it will look like.

As soon as we saw the sign of coming soon, we went back to the main road, structure, to follow the itinerary. Do check the schedule and timetable .

  • Animal Show

Big Cat Show

  • Elephant Show
  • Bali Agung Show
  • Safari Journey
  • Free roaming the park
  • (Feeding) at Petting Zoo
  • Uma restaurant

During the whole trip I advice to have some bottle of water with you. You can buy this all over the park. It can be hot make sure to hydrate all the time.

The Animal Show

bali safari animal show

This show starts 2x a day. From 10.30 am to 11 am and from 16:00 – 16:30 at Hanuman Stage.

The animal show is very educational and fun for all ages. They include all kinds of animals from small rodents, to two orangutans. You will learn all kinds of things during this show. The fun thing is, that post-pandemic, the animals and presenters do interact more with the audience, and you might have an opportunity to volunteer and help out during the show. After the show, 10 people will be picked out to make pictures on stage with the animes. If you are picked out, take your loved ones with you, so they can enjoy this moment with you. Yes, this is allowed 🙂

albino python animal show bali safari

Warning : If you have a phobia of snakes, do not sit at the first 3 rows of the audience, rather sit more at the back. This is because there will be someone with a large albino python walking around the first 2 rows.

tiger swimming in bali safari park

In the Big Cat Show, you will see a bit of the history of the tiger and why they are endangered. The tigers will demonstrate also their ability to climb a tree, swim, and other skills they possess. During this show, there is no interactivity with the audience.

We missed the elephant show and the Bali Agung show, to roam the park free, whilst everyone was at the show we enjoyed a calm park and premium seats for our safari.

Free roaming in the park

Koi pond

Free roaming is the best when you are with little ones. Children want to roam around free and run from here to there. There are enough animals to see and experience. At the bird area, you can even see some parrots roaming free. So missing out on the scheduled events and shows sometimes isn’t that bad. The petting zoo is a lot of fun for the small little ones, do spend some time if you are with kids.

The Siberian tiger or white tiger has its feeding scheduled at 2:30 pm. Before that, you can see the tiger pacing around waiting for food. Almost a bit aggressive running towards the window waiting for something to eat. Interesting to see while you are safe, you can see the tiger’s teeth and impatience for food around this time.

bali safari

The Safari is the highlight of the park itself. You will take a drive through all kinds of areas with different animals. Each their own territory. It was amazing to see the Hippos eat. They are mostly in the water but we were lucky to see this. Behind the Rhino (tap/click to enlarge pictures and zoom) you can actually see the accommodation of the park. So you can take a hotel there and enjoy the park.

The Safari tour is an amazing and educational experience. Sit back and enjoy!

Uma Restaurant

Uma restaurant

Uma restaurant is not the one with the Lions! Last time we went to that restaurant there. It’s a nice and spacious restaurant with a playground for little children. Uma Restaurant is like a food court, you will get a separate bill for almost every order. We’ve received 3 bills. The Nasi Campur is a clean nice and spicy meal. The Pizza rendang, was very hard and tough to eat. it gave our jaws some aches. It was hard to chew. This is because of the dough. The salad was nice and refreshing, it came with balsamic vinegar for a bit of an acidic taste. yummy!

Verdict Bali Safari park

There is a huge improvement compared to when we visited Bali Safari Park during the pandemic . It’s an excellent place to visit for a day. I am not sure about staying there in a hotel. Might be very convenient for the evening visit and feeding the predators. The Safari Park comes with a hefty price ticket, but you can see and do a lot there. So I would say it’s worth it for a family outing, a date, or even for animal lovers to see the tropical animals of this park. I have included some pictures but there is so much more to see at Bali Safari Park.

I hope you liked this review and that you feel convinced in going! It’s a unique experience, especially the safari! You will come out enriched with newly found knowledge

If you’re planning to do more in one day, also check out Tirta Gangga , because that’s about 1.5 hours drive from there

4 thoughts on “Bali Safari park review after 2023”

We first went to the Bali Safari & Marine Park in 2013 and we loved it. We went yesterday and what a total different experience. I would like to say it was nice but it was an absolute rip you off experience from start to finish. We paid at the entrance a bit over $310.00AU ($77.50AU each) for four of us, while the locals basically pay nothing…. Worst part at the entrance was our driver did not take a white piece of paper at the entrance gate and we could not enter with out it…anyhow a good 20minutes later they just scanned another driver’s ticket and we could enter. The toilets were putrid and looked liked they had not been cleaned in months and did not have toilet paper (strongly recommend BYO toilet paper in case!). The displays in parts were missing animal exhibits and the shows were so loud I reckon I have suffered hearing loss. The small roller coaster (not that we went for that) used to be free for kids…not now at least for tourists as we were asked to pay 30k Rp while the locals went on for free. All in all it is so obvious the zoo will extract as much money from a tourist as it can. We have been to many many zoos all over the world and I recommend saving you money for another activity or a trip if you are from AU to a zoo like Dubbo. This zoo is clearly charging entrance prices (for tourists) in excess of quite a few around the world and I just did not see the value or get a positive experience from start to finish for the price for an average family.

Hi Martin, thank you for sharing your experience!

Hi Dear, Thank you for sharing this details. This content is very helpful for me.
