You have booked your family holiday in Bali and are now at the stage of finding things to do with kids there. Kids’ activities in Bali are great for all ages, and the under-5s are no exception! Here is a list of 10 things to do in Bali with toddlers or when travelling to Bali with a baby. There are more activities to do that you can find in our Things to do in Bali with a kids blog post. Many of these activities also suit kids under five, so read both. This article from Lonely Planet also has some great tips on Bali for families and finding family activities in Bali for the whole family.

Parklife Bali
Located in Canggu, Parklife Bali is great for younger kids. They have a toddler room, indoor play area, jumping pillow, sand play area, and a kids menu to suit even the fussiest of kids. Kids under one year are free, and check out Parklife Bali’s website for up-to-date costs.
Pool Time
Having fun in the pool is definitely at the top of our kids’ list of fun things to do in Bali. The weather is lovely for swimming all year round, and it is a great way to have fun as a family. We usually pack floaties for the kids. When they were younger, they had swim rings to sit in, and when they were toddlers, they had Wahu Suits. You can check out our Bali Packing List for more details.
Play Dates at The Garden
Located in Canggu, The Garden Early Learning Centre offers play dates for children aged six months to 2.5 years old. The classes run from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Tuesday through Friday each week. You must pre-book, and you can find the information on their website.
Waka Waka Indoor Playground Seminyak
This indoor playground at FuramaXclusive Ocean Beach Resort is also open to outside guests. Kids 5 years and under need an adult to supervise them, but there are fun ball pits and toys for them to play with. A bonus restaurant next door with a great kids’ menu also makes this an excellent spot for younger kids.
Splash Waterpark Canggu
We have visited Splash many times, and the kids have always loved it. You can check out our full review here. Finns Bali also has other excellent facilities, like Bounce, Strike Bowling, and the Cubbyhouse Kids Club, which you can read about in our review.
Please note that Splash is closed for renovations until 30th September 2024. Once reopened, only the splash park will remain for younger kids
Hire a Bali Nanny
The best thing to do when in Bali with young kids is to hire a Bali nanny! These gorgeous ladies are so wonderful with kids. Check out our Facebook group for recommendations from other families. The nannies that we use and recommend can all swim. It is great to have another pair of hands that can swim with the toddlers while you relax by the pool! You can find our post on finding a Bali nanny here.
Kids clubs in Bali
I won’t lie; I love a great kids’ club! Yes we go on holidays to spend time together as a family but I love some peace and quiet too!
Another interesting post is our Kids Clubs and Playgrounds, which you can access even if you aren’t staying in a hotel. There is also a post on Bali hotels with kids’ clubs here. Some will accept outside guests, and this post lists most resorts in Bali with a kids club.
Beach time
We love walking along the beach, especially in the early morning and sunset. Younger kids love to play in the sand and splash in the shallows while parents can enjoy relaxing. Remember that Australia has much better, cleaner beaches, and you must be careful when swimming in Bali, even in tourist areas like the Kuta, Legian, and Seminyak beaches. Going in the shallows for a splash with the kids is fine but please be aware that the beaches can have nasty rips at times, so be careful and aware of your conditions.
Anak Atelier Playground
Located near Balangan in the Uluwatu area, Anak Atelier Playground also provides a kids’ club for 3 to 8 year olds from 3 to 5 pm. It is a gorgeous outdoor area, and we have yet to make it here, but it is high on our list. Please check their website for updated times, as they often have new things happening including holiday camps.
Soho Playground Sanur
Soho Playground is a great indoor playground for younger kids in Sanur. You will need a car to access the playground. Check out their website for more information.
Feel free to comment below or join our Facebook Group if you have additional Bali activities for toddlers. We would love to hear any suggestions.

Hello, do you know of any daycares/nurseries/kids clubs in Ubud?
Hi Sharon, Ubud doesn’t have a huge amount of things like this for the kids. A nanny would probably be best x A couple of places you could check out is Titi Batu Ubud Club and Padma Ubud has a kids club (that is a distance out of Ubud though) You could contact Bali Family Guide as they live near Ubud and they may have more suggestions 🙂
