WATERBOM PARK

It is a must with the kids. You can do things together and the rides are set up to offer something for all ages. Hint: It is always good to get to Waterbom right on opening at 9 am to get seats near the slides so you can keep an eye on the kids. It can get slippery so they need to be reminded not to run.

MANICURES

A manicure might just involve painting flowers on your fingernails or cutting and filing. These are available on the street and make sure you settle on a price before the process starts.

HAIR PLAITING

The kids love this for a bit of fun. It can take quite a while so make sure your child will be able to sit still for the time it takes. It's a great way to have an easy care hair style with all the swimming. The beads might be uncomfortable to sleep in if they are placed on shorter hair.  Also, be aware that the scalp becomes exposed to the sun and can become sunburn.

TATTOO'S

There are alot of places on the street that now offer tattoo's that are only temporary. Be very careful if you want to get one of these . Many people are allergic to the chemicals and end up with ugly blisters and some people even end up with scarring. The best way to test if you are allergic is to have a small dot put onto your arm and see if it causes any problems.

TIMEZONE

Timezone at the Matahari shopping centres for Dad and the kids while you have a look/shop around. It's inexpencsive compared to home.

GO KARTS

The Go-Karts in Jalan Kartika in Kuta ( opposite the Metro restaurant) look like a hot option during the day but after dark they are a lot of fun. They have both single and double Go-Karts so you can ride with the kids or have a good family race. The children cannot drive if they are under 12 but they can ride with you and have a steer.

REPTILE PARK

Plenty of local reptiles that you can get close and cozy with. The kids can pick them up and this makes it a great experience. There are also more dangerous creatures in the cages - mega snakes etc. and these are also impressive. This is worth the visit. For more information Click here

TEMPLES

Anyone entering a Balinese temple will be required to show respect to the gods by dressing modestly. Skimpy clothing and shorts are unacceptable and you may be required to wear a sarong. These can often be hired at the temple. Sometimes you will be required to give a donation to the temple.

MONKEY FOREST

you get to feed the monkeys ( you can buy nuts at the forest). A must for the kids. Be careful not to have loose jewelry or other valuables in easy reach as monkeys are prone to trying to grab them and run off. It can upset young kids.
