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

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.

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

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 🙂

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.

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

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.

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 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

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!

Bali Safari & Marine Park Review

This Bali Safari & Marine Park Review is on Feb 2016, on Valentine’s day. It’s such romantic day to spend with family and lovely animals, isn’t it? 🙂

PS: This not sponsored post, and based on our personal opinion

So basically, this Park is located in Gianyar, Bali, around 40 minutes from the Airport by car with no traffic. But they have free shuttle for particular packages. Here’s our review.

Bali Safari & Marine Park Review

• Educational In every show, they have educational content to present to audience. It is presented in an entertaining ways so kids would love it too! In the Park, kids actually can learn a lot, through playing and fun. They learn about animals behaviour, where animals come from, what animals eat, what is extinction and how to resolve it; they also learn about affection, empathy, how to feed the animals, etc. One of the most important thing is that: they spend quality time with us, the parents, friends and family!
• Fun Bali Safari & Marine Park is not only about the zoo and animals, but it’s fun! There are 2 entertainments: Fun Zone & Waterpark. Kids can play amusement rides and splash during the hot day! It’s so fun to see Lala passing the suspension bridge nervously, laughing out loud in the Carousel, and I’m sure she’ll gone wild if we play Waterpark too.
• Adventurous Many attractions are designed in the sense of adventure. Of course, it is in the zoo! Safari Journey to see animals in the wild, or Jungle Cruise to explore the park above water? Your call.

Itinerary, Show, Schedule, and Tips

Let’s start with some tips.

• You can walk-in, but if possible, avoid Monday as there’s no Bali Agung show on Monday.

• If you have Denpasar ID, go on Galungan or Kuningan Day to get 50% discount on local rate for Jungle Hopper package.

A Family Day Out at Bali Safari and Marine Park: A Review 32

One of the great things I have been enjoying about staying at the Sanur Paradise Plaza Suites  is how social all the guests are and how everyone offer’s each other advice as to what to see and do.

Prior to leaving Perth when I was doing my research for our family holiday to Bali I had decided I wanted to visit the Bali Safari and Marine Park .  But whilst at the resort I heard many fellow guests comment, “ it’s a rather pricey day out .”

So would we feel the same about the Bali Safari and Marine Park?

Share this on your favourite social media

On the Bali Safari and Marine Park website there are quite a few options for rates and packages which can be purchased direct.  However I choose to book the Jungle Hopper Pass through our resort saving us 270 000IR.  Our pass for 2 adults and 1 child cost 1 910 000IR ($191AUD).

Our pass includes:

• Return Transport
• 1 Safari Journey (each)
• Freshwater Aquarium
• Animal Show
• Elephant Show
• Bali Agung Show (Balinese dancing)
• 1 Fun Zone (each)

My Bali Safari and Marine Park Review

At 9am the following day we are collected from Sanur Paradise Plaza Suites for the 30 minute ride by shuttle.

I was told by our hotel staff on arrival to the Safari Park to go to the express lane to collect our tickets.  The express lane is a bit of a joke as people who have not pre-purchased tickets are pushing in to be served and no one seems to police the situation.

Finally with tickets in hand or more precisely wrapped as a bracelet around our wrists, we head to the bag check to enter the park.  Here staff are confiscating all food and drinks including water – which I feel is a bit cheeky considering the cost to get in the park and it is a bit of a health issue considering how hot it is in Bali.

Then the final stage to reach the Safari Park proper is to board another shuttle bus from the entrance to the Park Terminal.  I take a copy of the program timetable to ensure we don’t miss any of the shows.

Image Source

We enter the lobby there is a Gloria Jeans coffee shop, souvenir shop and the aquarium to the left.  We head to the aquarium to gaze at the brightly coloured array of fish.

A crowd gathers at the Piranha tank.  Unfortunately I cannot get close enough for a picture.  At 10:30 the Piranha fish are fed a chicken.  It is a frenzy as the Piranha’s demolish the entire chicken – bones and all.

Then we amble along the paved jungle path.  We are enchanted to see 3 brightly coloured Macaw parrots sitting on perches uncaged – I can’t believe they don’t fly away.

To the side there is a place to have your photo taken with an orang-utan (part of the Rhino package only).

Animal Education Show at Bali Safari and Marine Park

So we continue toward the stage in time for the Animal Education Show .   We perch on a shaded section of the rickety wooden tiered seats under fake trees that unfortunately block a bit of the view and wait for the show to start.  This show focuses on educating us about how we humans have domesticated wildlife to become our pets.  Starting with birds and moving onto rats, guinea pigs, cats, dogs and then more exotic animals.  Towards the end of the show the focus is on how jungles are being destroyed and animals such as the orang-utan are loosing their homes.

The education is one of the things I do like about this park, even though a few of the animals have obviously been trained for performances – it is primarily educating us, the public, how the human race has endangered so many species of animals and what we can now do to help with animal rehabilitation.

This message is reinforced at the next show – The Elephant Show .

But before we reach there we all stop to watch the elephant bathing.  There is only a small viewing area and it is very clever that the elephants have been trained to spray water on the crowd hogging the front to ensure we all get a chance to have a look.

Each show is timed perfectly for the crowds to make their way at a leisurely pace from one show to the next without having to wait too long but allowing a chance to check out a couple of exhibits along the way.

We see the white tiger

and komodo as we walk towards the Elephant stage.

We opt not to have our photo taken with the poor drugged lion (seriously can you explain why it doesn’t attack if it’s not drugged?)

The Elephant Show at Bali Safari and Marine Park

The Elephant Show is about how humans went into the jungles logging and the fight that erupted between the elephants and the humans resulting in elephants being shot before a more harmonious way of life evolved for both.

Next on our education journey we learn about Poo Paper.  This is paper made from recycling elephant poo.  The paper is quite a thick paper and is used for craft.

After our education we head for the Safari Journey .

The Safari Journey at Bali Safari and Marine Park

We are fortunate with our timing and there is no queue and board the 4WD bus straight away.

PS. This was taken just as we returned from our safari.

The tour takes us through the jungle to native animals from Indonesia, India and Africa, doing it’s best to try to simulate a proper safari trip in the wild.

It was so nice to see the animals not locked up in cages or confined to small enclosures, but wondering about a much larger plain.

You can see more of the expedition into the wild on a Bali safari journey HERE .

Eating at Bali Safari and Marine Park

After a morning of non-stop shows and adventures we are hungry.  We head to the Uma Restaurant , though there are other options available including the upmarket Tsavo Lion Restaurant and small stalls to buy snacks.

I have to say I was really impressed with how this eatery works.  The restaurant is actually a bit like a food court, with a buffet option at the far end (I am sure part of the larger package options).  We are given a card on entering, as we order food from the stalls our items are written down and we are told when to return to collect our meals.

Steve and I each have a very nice chicken satay, and Lewis the ever adventurous eater (not) had French Fries.  We also order mocktails from the bar.

Whilst Steve and I finish off our meal and relax Lewis heads to the small kids play area.

At the end of our meal we exit via the checkout and pay according to the items listed on the card.  Lunch was a very reasonable 212 000IR ($21AUD) for us all.

With only an hour left before our shuttle pick-up we head to the Water Park .

The Water Park at Bali Safari and Marine Park

Such a fun way to cool off at the end of the day: slipping down slides and getting drenched by the tipping bucket.

Though be a little careful on the big green water slides as you come to a sudden stop in a pool that is a little bit too shallow.

We decide to take the 3pm shuttle pick-up and as a result we run out of time to visit the Fun Zone – a selection of amusement style rides.  We could stay until the 5:30pm pick-up but feel another 2 and half hours would be way too long, a bit of shame that there isn’t a 4pm slot – that would have been perfect to end our great day.

So did we think Bali Safari and Marine Park was pricey?

Well if I had purchased the more expensive Rhino Package – most definitely!  The Rhino Package offers unlimited times on the safari journey and in the fun zone – but there just isn’t time in the day to do everything more than once (even if we’d stayed until 5:30pm).  The Rhino Package also includes lunch and photos with animals.  However we found the Uma Restaurant to be very affordable and tasty something those buffets (from experience) are usually not, and don’t get me started on photos with drugged up animals.

However we bought the Jungle Hopper Package , we came out thinking yeah a bit expensive – though this seems to be the standard price to do most tourism activities in Bali with which we had a full day’s entertainment.  So overall it was a great day at reasonable price (for Bali).

What a fabulous day out … apart from the drugged up lion:( The water park looks like great fun for kids! #MondayEscapes

The water park was fun Lisa.

Did most people go from one show to the next? It sounded a bit conveyer belt like.

It only felt that way as we left the first show Vanessa, after that everybody moved onto different side attractions depending on their preference before converging on the next show.

Thats nice that the talks were educational and focused on protecting animals instead of trying to just make money off them. The bird show pic looks cool!

That’s what I like about it as well Dani

It looks interesting. It may be an option depending how many days you are staying and if you are traveling with kids. I have been to a similar concept in the Mexican Riviera. It is considered expensive but I had a great time and believe it was worth it.

The price seemed comparable to other activities offered in Bali Ruth, and I think enjoyable even without kids.

I didn’t realise there was such a place in Bali. I must say I’m impressed because a lot of the Asian Zoos or Wildlife Parks that I have visited have been a bit run down. I would definitely take my family here or maybe just go myself as I adore animals.

This place Kathy was anything but run down. Whilst entering was a bit of a shemozzle the rest of the place was very professional.

This is a really through run down of this park, I’ve never heard of it before. I’m sure my kids would have fun here Thanks for joining in #wednesdaywanderlust

It was generally a very professionally run establishment and your kids would love it Malinda.

This looks like an action packed day out, with lots to do for everyone. However the thought of drugged up animals makes me sad, and are they doing anything to further conservation and/or protection of the various species they house? Or just make money off them? At least they are doing a good job of educating the visitors, which is positive! Thanks for a balanced review 🙂

Rachel our guide on the Safari Journey mentioned they had a breeding program to help with populating the more endangered species. I suppose fortunately it appeared that the lion was only drugged animal.

Love your balanced review of the park. AUD191 does sound quite pricey to me. But I guess if I’m on vacation, I would just pay for it and visit. I always love safari adventures where we can see the animals right next to our vehicles.

Sadly Lin, Bali is becoming quite pricey. There are now world class restaurants – but at a pricey and quality tourism attractions which also come at a cost. So as a family you can only afford to do a couple.

I’ve not been back to Bali since my honeymoon in 2010, but it looks like a fab place to take children too. The safari looks amazing! I’m very jealous! #whatevertheweather

Bali is a fantastic family friendly destination Lisa, if you get the chance to return with kids take it!

What a great review! Thanks for the info. My kids would LOVE that water park. It would probably pip the animals for the most fun award. #teamIBOT

I think most kids would take a water park over any other attraction Emily.

It looks like a great and educational visit. I love that they had lots of discussions about humans affecting the animals habitats and lives and not just telling you about the animals themselves. The safari bus looks interesting, I’ve never seen a 4WD bus before! The water park also looks fantastic, but not so sure about the slides if the pool is shallow at the end. Definitely worth shopping around before buying tickets though. Thanks so much for linking up to #Whatevertheweather 🙂 x

The water slides were all fine in the kiddy area Jenny it was just the 2 giant green slides in the other pool.

Wow. I had no idea that park existed in Bali. Its been a few years since we were there mind you but I’ll definitely be looking into this more when we go next. Looks like a great day out. Thanks for linking up xx

Your kids will love it Shannon!

At first I thought that sounded really expensive and was a bit annoyed that they confiscated food and water, but it does sound like they have a lot on offer. I too would refuse the picture with the drugged tiger (I agree, they must be drugged). It’s good that they have lots of educational things there too and I can’t get over how much there is to do. A great family day out. Thanks so much for linking up to #Whatevertheweather 🙂 x

Yes I agree Chloe, when you put into perspective as to how much you get for your money it’s not bad value.

I think that’s pretty reasonable, but I would be frustrated having to buy food and drink as well. Any kind of animal park is reasonably expensive to visit. It’s s bit frustrating, but I guess I can understand.

We thought for all that was included it wasn’t too bad a price Jess.

I would love to take my kids here one day. I always thought of Bali as a honeymoon type destination and didn’t really look into the family friendly side of things. When we make our way out East (hopefully in the next few years) we are going to try to visit.

You will be surprised Cheryl with how many family friendly options there are in Bali. I have more posts coming from this trip so stay tuned.

Hi. Great write up! We will be in Bali next month and looking at going here. Do you suggest booking early as in online, or just paying at the gate?

Hi Myk, We pre-booked through our hotel. The price was a little cheaper – check if your hotel offers something similar. However, once we arrived we found that many people did not adhere to the priority queuing system for pre-purchased tickets. Overall the queues weren’t that big, just allow time to collect tickets and make your way through security – all very strict.

Pura Beji is also a popular spot for you to enjoy here. Around 30-minutes away from Bali Safari & Marine Park, this temple was actually an ancient bathing temple.

Gianyar, Bali is also a favorite destination for visiting museums . Why? It’s simply because there’s plenty to choose from! Two of the most popular are Museum Puri Lukisan and The Blanco Renaissance Museum. Glimpse the magnificent paintings and artworks of local and foreign artists, who dedicate their work to the exotic island of gods. The best part is, they’re kid-friendly places! It’s fun for the whole family! You can reach both destinations with a 40-minute drive.

But if you’re looking for some exciting adventures, Tegenungan Waterfall is also a great place to sightsee. This magnificent bliss flows around 40 meters, boasting its scenic and refreshing view. Many people also opt to hike around the area to view nature at its best. Others go here to relax and take photos. Located just 14 km away, there are plenty of instagrammable spots here to take pictures!

Tips for Visiting Bali Safari and Marine Park

You should not feed, touch, or disturb the animals, unless you are allowed and supervised by the staff or the guides. You should also not litter, smoke, or make loud noises, as they may harm or annoy the animals and the environment.

Get to know our animals with world-class Safari packages for adventurous, fun, educational experiences!

There are five living species of Rhinoceros. The two African species: the white rhinoceros and the black rhinoceros, and the three Asian species: the Indian rhinoceros, the Javan rhinoceros and the Sumatran rhinoceros.

The third largest mammals on land is the hippopotamus. These animals can weigh up to 2000 kg. The common hippopotamus lives near rivers, lakes and mangrove swamps. During the day, they remain cool by staying in the water or mud, at dusk they come out to graze on the grasses.

Elephants are undoubtedly the largest mammals and live in a very large group, which are led by the most experienced female in the group. They need around 200kg of food daily including grass, bamboo, nuts and fruit. They drink about 150 liters of water per day. What’s more, they also have a very strong sense of smell.

The tiger is the largest member of the "big cat" species, as they can weigh up to 350 kg. They usually hunt for food in the late afternoons or at night for larger prey like wild pigs, deer, and, at times, monkeys and even frogs. Tigers need to feed on up to 27 kilograms of meat in one night, but more often they consume up to 6 kilograms of meat during a meal.
