Bali Zoo in Ubud

Bali may be paradise to us, but it’s also home to curious creatures such as monkeys, geckos, snakes, and the beloved Bali dogs. Besides seeing them in the wild, there are tourist attractions where you can get guaranteed sightings of these animals – think Ubud Monkey Forest and Bali Zoo. 

The latter, located just a 30-minute drive from Ubud city centre, is home to over 500 wildlife species. In fact, we spent half a day at the zoo on our last trip to Bali. So here’s our guide on the highlights you shouldn’t miss while you’re there. 

Feed lions, crocodiles & free-roaming deer

A unique feature at Bali Zoo is that you can get up close and personal with some of the animals here. Well, not all animals of course.
