In fact, Denpasar is about such a boring city, as many of it can describe. Yes, many temples, many uninteresting for children and interesting for adult colonial buildings. By and large, all entertainment facilities are true outside of Denpasar - in Ubud, Kuta or Sanur. But to go, in fact, sometimes no more than half an hour. Not so scary, right? So, what entertainment for children can be found in Denpasar and neighboring areas.
Entertainment center Kidsworld
Located in Bali's heart, a ten minute drive to the north of the center of Ubud, Kidsworld is the largest indoor gaming center of Indonesia, where almost all inflatable, and where children up to twelve can have fun, jump on the giant inflatable slings and balls. This is really a great pastime for children, this is sport + pleasure.
And moreover, Kidsworld has an outdoor pool and a children's pool for the smallest. Well, a lot of entertainment is outdoors. If you go there on a rented car, do not worry - there is a lot of parking spaces. By the way, Kidsworld is perhaps the perfect place to celebrate your child's birthday. The price of birthday includes pizza, drinks, paper plates, balloons, work of children's animators and a gift to a child (T-shirt). Festive cakes on request. Parties, as a rule, last two hours. Parents or accompanying adults are free. It is from 900,000p (the more people, the cheaper).

Center for creativity and art in Ubud (Bali Art Center for Creativity or just BCAC)
There are classes, courses, trainings, seminars and training of those who are interested in disclosing talent, experiments or expanding their talents and abilities. There are a variety of people, including children and children. Here are whole groups of schoolchildren from schools of the Asia-Pacific region, and from all over the world - to explore the culture, history, religion and lifestyle of Balinese.
With children here are engaged in eco-cycling, crafts from bamboo, with them Balinese traditional dancing, Balinese martial arts, try to make a batik, masks, ritual things, walk on rice fields, are engaged in wood carvings, make sculptures from clay or just creative. Basically, these are entire programs for one day. I suppose you are so kind as an extra week on Bali, you do not have. Therefore, you can look at the workshops at the same time with the kids. For example, here are the lessons of "spiritual drawing", here children can be drawn with acrylic, oil paints, coals, pastella, watercolor, paints from natural materials.
In general, programs are different, interesting, unusual. Every Saturday from 10 am to the hour of the day there are classes for children. This is a great way to make new friends, develop art talents, and just relax with benefit. 2-hour lesson stands RP. 250000 per child, 3-hour lesson is RP. 350000 per child.

Bali Bird & Reptile Park (Bali Bird & Reptile Park)
I suppose it is clear from the name what it is. The park provides a unique opportunity for children to learn about the wildlife of the wonderful Bali. Some birds kids will be able to even feed, some even with the hands! In addition, you can take a walk and admire the birds (and there are more than 1000, 250 species here), you can visit drawing lessons.
This art zone is conveniently located at the Bali Starling restaurant. Here the children will be dismissed with the pictures of birds, who actually live in the park - here it is a detriment of fresh impressions! And in the center there is a 4D-cinema, where movies show, yes, again about birds. In general, very cool!

Diving
If your children love to splash in the pool, and if they are 8 or 9 years old, then the Padi Bubblemaker program for you. In the course of this diving program, children will learn to detain their breath and swim under water with real equipment. So to speak, they will be allowed their first bubbles under water! Training are held in the pool. Upon completion of the program, children will be awarded a real diver certificate.
Of course, it is better to do this important thing to the whole family. During the program Bubblemaker, children will learn about the basic methods of studying the underwater world - for example, how to behave under water and communicate with other divers, which can be touched and what is not. Immersion is held in the pool of this company near the sanora. Training takes about 1 to 2 hours. It would be nice that your child could swim and not afraid of water. Well, you have to provide a reference that the baby is healthy.
Maximum depth to which children will be learned are two meters, but usually less.
