The zoo is small and, for Bali, very expensive. The enclosures are old style zoo cages and some were extremely small. Pros: diversity of animals is good, easy to find your own way. Interactive encounters for those that pay extra, great fauna, nice toilets, feeding elephant was great for kids. Animals seem well cared for, even the three legged tiger.... More

Excellent maintained zoo. I just don't like how everything in Bali is far from one another. From Nusa Dua it took almost 2 hours to get there! The animal encounters was so sad. They brought out a baby lion cub whose sedative hadn't kicked in yet. He was acting like a normal playful lion. Once it kicked it, he was... More

It has a small but nice collection of animals. But entry fee (only for the zoo) is damn expensive. Around US$28 per person. We didn't even pay that much for Singapore Zoo which is the World's Best Zoo. This Zoo is nothing in comparison to Singapore Zoo. If you have been to Singapore Zoo, then it will be a big... More

Bali zoo is a small intimate zoo and as a result you get very close to the animals. It is an old fashioned zoo - animal enclosurs that are just that - enclosures with little natural feel to them. That being said it is neat and tidy and animals seem well looked after. It has one highlight - the elephant... More

Searching for a zoo where was also an elephant ride I came up with this one. Bali experience doesn't offer it for the coming 4 months, they proposed another zoo with very bad rating/comments. This one was on our way to the airport while leaving Bali coming from the North. Absolutely friendly people, the ride was a bit expensive but... More

I found the zoo was if anything a little small, I wanted to see more!! The Zoo was interactive and defiantly a highlight of the trip to Bali. We experienced an elephant ride, fed the animals had lunch with the lions (the restaurant was right next to the enclosure) All that was between us and the lions was a glass... More

we decided to do the elephant ride here as we could also do so many other animal encounters. The elephant ride is either a short or a long ride the long one allows you to go into the water on the elephants back which is a great experience. i think it would be better to to a jungle trek somewhere...

Went to the zoo on one of my last days in Bali... And I'm so glad I didn't miss it. We arrived at about 1315--just in time for the show that lets you hold a "bear cat" and take a photo with a lion cub. This show starts at 1300. I think there is another one at like 1500 or... More
