Tucked into the countryside of Singapadu Village in Gianyar, Bali Zoo Park is one of the island’s most established wildlife attractions — a 40-hectare open-concept zoo home to over 350 animal species from Indonesia and beyond. Unlike traditional enclosed zoos, animals here live in large habitats designed to reflect their natural environments, making the experience feel more like exploring wildlife in the wild than visiting a standard zoo.
Beyond animal viewing, Bali Zoo offers a full slate of hands-on experiences: elephant rides, keeper-led Animal Encounters, a Night Safari, and themed dining events. It’s a destination that works equally well for families looking for a memorable day out, wildlife enthusiasts wanting close-up encounters, and visitors who want to combine entertainment with genuine conservation learning.

Bali Zoo Park has more than 350 species of animals from all over the world. From local Indonesian animals such as orangutans and Sumatran tigers, to exotic species from Africa and Asia, Bali Zoo offers an incredible collection of animals. One of the main attractions here is the stunning collection of tropical birds in vibrant colors. You can also find various species of primates, reptiles, and large mammals such as elephants and lions.
