Safari Park

I'm not sure you would get good value out of this park with a child of that age. There are not as many types of animals as there are in a zoo. You do get to ride around the park in a van and see a variety of animmals but, as the bus keeps on moving, there is no opportunity to linger and look. Also unless your child gets on the window, he/she may not have a good view. There a few animal shows to watch. When we were there a bird show and elephant show.

If you do go, use a stroller; there is a lot of ground to cover. It is also very hot so take bathers to swim in the waterpark there. No towels provided so you will need to take also.

My children are older and enjoyed it and next time we are going to the Bali Zoo; maybe consider that instead? You can take your time wandering around.

Your itinerary has a lot of moving around with a little one in a car. Waterbom Park would be a better option as it is in the southern area and you could do this from Seminyak. Fun for all.

I think most places do not charge for under twos so the price may not be an issue but the logistics of the travel to the attraction may come into play more.

I would be taking a stroller and not want to carry the baby aound in the heat. Also your bub can sleep in it while you eat in the evenings.

If you search the forum, using the search facility at the top, for driver with car seat you should get some hits.

You can buy what you need but I never saw any liquid panadol. Also take all the sunscreen you need. It is very expensive.

Enjoy you holiday.
