My children are now 7 & 5 and have been going to Bali since babies. We now stay at Kuta Townhouses in Kuta, you can get a 2 bedroom apartment with a living room for around $AUD80-$90 depending on exchange rate. There are lots of great little restaurants around so never too far to walk for eating. As for Ubud have stayed a couple of times but have so far not been able to find something with 2 bedrooms and a pool within our budget. Our last stay in Ubud was at Ubud Bungalows which was very central on Monkey Forest Rd, Rooms/bathrooms were lovely and my 2 chidren shared a bed about the size of a king single.
As for what to do a favourite of my children is Bali Zoo, it only takes around 1 1/2 hrs to walk around and also has a fairly reasonably priced restaurant which is good for lunch/snack or drink. They have a website. My 2 also like the monkey forest at Ubud and love the traditional dancing.
I haven't been to Bali Safari Park but planning to take the kids on our trip in July.
Cheers
