Bali Zoo






If you're looking for a fun, interactive animal experience in Bali, Bali Zoo is a great spot to check out. Unlike a typical zoo, this one is designed like a tropical jungle, with lush greenery, winding pathways, and a focus on getting visitors closer to the animals. From feeding elephants to having breakfast with orangutans, it's more than just walking around looking at enclosures, it's about experiencing wildlife up close. Why Visit Bali Zoo? Breakfast with Orangutans: One of the most popular experiences! Enjoy a morning meal while playful orangutans swing nearby, definitely not your average breakfast setting. Elephant Mud Fun: If you've ever wanted to bathe and play with elephants, this hands-on experience lets you get right in the mud with them. Night Safari: The after-dark tour lets you explore the zoo at night, where you can see nocturnal animals, fire dancers, and even feed tigers under the moonlight. Tropical Rainforest Vibes: The entire zoo feels like a jungle adventure, with bridges, waterfalls, and beautiful landscaping that makes it feel more natural than a typical zoo.
Tips for Visiting
Go Early for Fewer Crowds: Mornings are cooler and less busy, making it the best time for exploring (and for the orangutan breakfast!).
Book Experiences in Advance: Popular activities like Breakfast with Orangutans and Elephant Encounters fill up quickly, so book ahead if they're on your list.
Wear Comfortable Shoes & Light Clothing: It's hot and humid, and you'll be walking a lot, so dress accordingly.
Bring Extra Clothes if Doing Animal Activities: If you're doing the elephant mud bath, you'll want a change of clothes (trust me, you'll get messy!).
Respect the Animals: The zoo does a great job of keeping animals in naturalistic enclosures, so always follow the rules and never disturb or try to touch animals without permission.
