Website 5. Living, loving and learning – Pondok Pekak Library
Most kids probably don’t appreciate ‘a trip to the library’ or ‘a trip to an art gallery’, but they will definitely love the Pondok Pekak Library.
Whether you want to learn how to make traditional Balinese offerings, carve fruit, play the gamelan or dance your heart out – this is a library with a difference.

Of course, it has a fantastic display of books if reading is your thing, but wouldn’t you rather learn how to make some beautiful jewellery or a lovely wooden mask?
The children can make something special to take home and show their friends – although we aren’t sure how long a carved watermelon would last in a suitcase!

The fantastic teachers at Pondok Pekak Library go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome, while offering a fantastically authentic Balinese experience that you just can’t replicate anywhere else.

Learning really can be fun, for kids and adults alike. Plus you will sound super smug at the school gates when you tell the other parents that your children loved visiting the library and art galleries during your amazing holiday at Bali!

Starting at just 2 metres up, you can get a feel for heights before advancing to the more nerve-wrecking levels, which go up to 20 metres!
You will always be attached to a safety wire, but we think that even you might hesitate on some of the challenges (we did!) – while the kids put you to shame. Just watch them scamper from tree to tree without a second thought.

Fly around what seems like a normal house and experience a (pretty weird but awesome) change of perspective. You’ll be surprised at how different a living room can seem when everything is turned on its head (literally).
Can you unclog a toilet without gravity holding you down? Although one wonders if a toilet would even need unclogging when everything is upside down… sorry.
Just make sure you bring a friend along when you explore the wonders of this museum. As much as selfie sticks have helped us in loner-dom, these loyal buddies won’t work here.

For something a little more educational, make sure to bring the kids to Flowrider, where you learn to surf the waves! (We have surfer friends who love the flowrider too!) Whether you want to surf standing up or laying down, the choice is entirely yours (and you just might be able to bring your new surfing skills to a safe beach!).
Finally, make sure to check out the lazy river! In the baking afternoon heat, there is nothing better than floating through the gorgeous park and enjoying the cool refreshing water – the perfect opportunity to relax after all those heart-stopping rides!
When you’re hungry after an amazing day of water fun, there are restaurants available in Waterbom with different types of delicious cuisines. Better yet, there’s a super convenient cashless payment system you can use to pay for your food! (All you need to do is simply charge your wristband by topping it up at various points in the park.)

Opening Hours: Mon – Sun, 8am – 6pm23. Off the Caribbean seas – The Pirate’s Bay
If you’re after a slightly more unique experience for your kids, The Pirates Bay is a once-in-a-lifetime experience of eating in a treehouse and being a pirate for a day.
That’s right, they’ll no longer scream and run around or pretend to climb a tree as though it’s the mast of a ship.
Located just off the Nusa Dua beach, The Pirate Bay’s authentic-looking pirate ship and treehouses will definitely awe the little ones.
They’ll even be able to try out various activities such as pirate games, swings and ropes.
Meanwhile, you’ll be able to go for a quick swim at the nearby beach and enjoy your meal in peace for once – other happy parents have satisfied their taste buds with special dishes like the fried banana with cheese and grilled tuna.
Imagine listening to your child’s euphoric “ahoy!” as you dig into your sumptuous meal and down a cup of ice cold juice on a sweltering hot day.
Doesn’t that sound simply idyllic?

Opening Hours: Mon – Sun, 10am – 10pm24. Dive (and dine) into Ubud’s very own rabbit hole – Maha Restaurant
As much as we can’t get enough of cat and dog cafes, how about a rabbit cafe for a change?
Dining at Maha Restaurant will leave you feeling a little like Alice in Wonderland – bringing you up close and personal with the cutest bunnies you will ever see.
Especially if you have kids who are tired of walking around Ubud, bringing them to Maha Restaurant will be a great refresher for them, as they get to pet the bunnies and interact with them.
Order coffee, pancakes, crepes, juice, or even an espresso martini (we hear they have fantastic cocktails!) and get set for one of the many lovely afternoons to be had in Ubud.
Watch the Maha rabbits hop around, do bunny binkies (google it) and nibble away as you steal a restful moment from your packed itinerary of plans – your kids will thank you for it.
Price: From Rp. 50,000 (Approximately USD $3.65)

This is the perfect excuse to get a little bit of ‘me time’ whilst still keeping the whole family together. Make your little ones feel like princes and princesses with some special bonding time at the spa.
Jiwa Spa specialises in treatments for ‘little souls’ and offers a fantastic ‘Mum & Me’ package. Don’t worry dad, we wouldn’t leave you out. There is an equally good ‘Dad & Me’ package too!
Mum can unwind with a foot bath, ocean flow massage and express facial, whilst her little ‘Jiwa Princess’ gets a foot bath, a mini massage, sparkle manicure and mini facial – just like her mum.
The men of the family won’t need much encouragement when they see what is on offer. Dad gets a revitalising vitamin scrub, whilst the ferocious ‘Jiwa Warrior’ of the household gets a foot bath, mini massage and chocolate mud bath.
After such an action-packed holiday, we think everyone will be ready to relax. And what better way to relax than treatments for mum, dad and the kids!

Opening hours: Mon – Sun, 8am – 10pm26. Monkey Madness – Ubud Monkey Forest
Now if you think that your cheeky little monkeys are a handful, just wait until you see these critters.
This will be the highlight of your family holiday, and at only USD$2 per pax, it’s definitely a great bargain. With over 600 Balinese long tailed macaques in the forest, that is a lot of monkey for your money.
Before the children spend all their pocket money on monkey treats, we must offer a few words of warning; if you leave any food in your backpack or pockets, the monkeys will sniff it out and can get a little scary.
The most entertaining/terrifying part of your visit will be watching greedy monkeys jumping on people who have smuggled in some food.
Remember that monkeys are wild animals, and while all the monkeys in Monkey Forest are frequently screened for diseases such as rabies, a bite can ruin your holiday and this incredible experience.
Enjoy watching the monkeys from a safe distance and make sure to remind the children about the dangers of wild animals.
If you are really keen to feed the monkeys, then you can buy bananas at the forest entrance – just dont say that we didn’t warn you!
In Bali, monkeys have considerable cultural significance, and in Balinese Hinduism, they are thought to embody both positive and negative forces. As such, the Balinese both love and hate them. In any event, these monkeys are well-loved and protected.
Price: Rp. 80,000 (Approximately USD $5.85) for adults; Rp. 60,000 (Approximately USD $4.40) for children

Website27. When in Rome – Go for a Balinese cooking class
Not all Balinese food may fit your tastebuds, but it’s doubtless that this tiny island houses some of the greatest food out there, and its tropical dishes are getting increasingly popular.
And since you’re visiting, why not add some of these exotic dishes to your cooking repertoire?
You can sign up for cooking classes with Bumbu Bali, an award-winning Balinese restaurant and cooking school. Classes are helmed by Heinz von Holzen, a famed chef and cookbook author.
You’ll be introduced to the exotic history behind traditional Balinese dishes, shop for ingredients yourself, and even get to make popular dishes such as fried rice, grilled chicken and lamb stew.

Dates: Mon and Wed, 7am – 2pm28. Go out to sea on glass-bottomed boats
Want to see the beautiful coral reefs, but afraid of getting wet?
No worries, you can definitely do so, and we promise, it doesn’t involve any aquarium visits. You just need to go out to sea in a glass-bottomed boat.
These boats are specially built with a pane of glass at the bottom that acts as a mask under the water, to allow even non-swimmers to experience the underwater scene, just like dry snorkeling.
As the boat glides over the reef, you’ll be able to see in detail the fish, corals and other marine life in their natural habitat. You can even take photos and feed the fish, all from the safety of the boat.
The best ride? Try Nusa Lembongan day tour, where the reefs are blooming!
