It was a nice tour of the temple with its magnificent edifices and well maintained gardens. Just pay a minimal amount to view the magnificent attraction in Badung, Bali which is just one hour ride from Denpasar or Kuta.

It's a peaceful kind of temple. Very clean and well maintained. Not many tourists like other temples.
45 mins from Kuta, situated in the tidy little town of Mengwi. This temple complex fating from the middle ages is well worth visiting. Set in tranquil, well kept grounds, with a lovely theatrette presentation and small art gallery, Taman Ayun is well worth the drive. Cross the canal, walk 100m up the rise to the amazing display of the year's winners from the Ogoh Ogoh parades around Bali. This extraordinary display is a hidden gem showcasing artistic and sculptural skills.
The temple itself is not that big. The whole place is just one big garden. Ok to go, but not a priority, considering that Bali has soo many temples to look at. Seeing this among the different temples will not wow you anymore and can actually give this a miss, unless it is just to fill up your day trip.
Taman Ayun temple is a royal temple situated approx 18km from Sanur, will take approx 45mins to one hour to reach. As it was a royal temple back in the early 1900’s I was expecting it to be more palacious and extravagant. However it was rather subdued and the only colour to be found was on the alter in front of the cock fighting pit. Entrance fee to the site is 30k rupiah each and they provide you with a sharing. The site consists of well paved walk ways around the main temple site in the centre of well kept gardens, and the whole place is a surrounded by a moat. Will take at the most one hour to look round everything. If you are touring the central area then worth a stop. There are toilets free to use.
Don't wait massive impression from visiting this place but i like quiet atmosphere there, clean territory, not many tourists there. Not worth to visit if you are far away but if you are in Mengwi area you should visit it!
