Stay and play at Kids SoHo Playground, Sanur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Forget your run-of-the-mill climbing frame \u2013 Kids SoHo Playground takes fun to a new level. Watch as little ones work their way through the pastel soft-play area, sliding into the ball pit, tiptoeing through a zig-zag bridge, reaching new heights on trampolines and ascending the indoor climbing wall before falling back into the safety of the soft ball pit. Let their imaginations run wild in play areas simulating a hospital, shop and kitchen before sending them down Bali\u2019s first doughnut slide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try wakeboarding, wipeout challenge and more at Bali Wake Park <\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dive straight into fun at Bali Wake Park<\/a>, home to one of the island’s most exciting water experiences. The park’s Aqualand section is dedicated to an inflatable obstacle course that invites you to take on a wipeout challenge with family and friends \u2013 who will last the longest before falling in? The Cable Park section caters to anyone with an interest in watersports, from beginners to pros. Give wakeboarding, kneeboarding, waterskiing and skurfing (a mix of skiing and surfing) a go. Prefer to take a backseat? Recline on loungers overlooking the action or take a dip in the infinity pool with in-built bar for drinks and snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit the Monkey Forest <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a day the whole family is unlikely to forget, plan a visit to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary<\/a> in Ubud. Home to over 600 macaque monkeys that roam wild among three sacred temples, this conservation area is the perfect spot to witness these cheeky long-tailed creatures in their natural habitat. Just make sure you don\u2019t bring in any food \u2013 that\u2019s a surefire way to attract some unwanted attention. When you\u2019re done for the day, retire to your family hotel in Bali for some much-needed \u2018R&R\u2019 before taking on another big day.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a family tour through UNESCO rice terraces <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bali isn\u2019t just about beaches and Bintang \u2013 it has a long and varied history encompassing religion, agriculture and more. Dip your toes into local culture with a full-day family tour<\/a> to UNESCO rice terraces and Batukaru temple, an ancient architectural beauty that remains a sacred site for the island\u2019s Hindu population. Start with an early morning visit to Mount Batukaru, the island\u2019s second-highest volcano, before venturing to a remote temple, UNESCO-listed rice terraces of Jatiluwih, and finally a special picnic spot. With transport, lunch, a guide and all entrance fees covered, all you and the family have to focus on is having fun. \u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After catching as many waves as you can, it\u2019s time to paddle to shore for a very well-deserved smoothie or juice.
