Traveling around Bali by car with my 6-year-old son, Leonardo, led us to one of the most fun-filled experiences of our trip—a day at Waterbom in Kuta, in the southern part of the island. Leonardo has visited many water parks in the past, but I must say that Waterbom stands out as truly exceptional, and it exceeded both of our expectations.
The park offers an amazing kids’ area that kept Leonardo entertained for hours. With a height of 110 cm, he was able to enjoy a great selection of rides—although at 120 cm, he would have had even more to choose from. Despite this, there was no shortage of activities, and boredom wasn’t an issue for a second! From the lazy river to the splashy slides, the rides offered something for both thrill-seekers and young adventurers. The Funtastic zone, specifically designed for kids, was a hit with its water cannons, slides, and tipping buckets, where Leonardo could safely explore on his own or with others.
One feature that made the day stress-free was the park’s dining options. Waterbom Bali is dotted with great food outlets that serve everything from pizza and sandwiches to more diverse and healthy options like salads and fresh juices. You won’t go hungry here! And for treats, the ice cream parlors and popcorn stalls scattered around the park were perfect for satisfying Leonardo’s sweet tooth during breaks from the water. Another nice touch is that the park operates on a cashless system. We topped up a bracelet at the entrance and were able to use it to pay for food, drinks, and anything else we needed, making everything seamless and convenient.
The park is very well-organised, with plenty of lockers for storing your things and numerous clean toilets and showers easily accessible across the grounds. This made it easy for us to move around and enjoy ourselves without worrying about our belongings. The friendly staff also provided another service that we found really cool: they take photos of visitors throughout the day, logging them to a dedicated photo bracelet. We could view and choose to purchase the photos at the end of the day, which meant we didn’t have to carry our phones or cameras around, allowing us to focus purely on fun.
For families with energetic kids like mine, Waterbom offers a perfect combination of thrilling rides, relaxation areas, and fun activities. Leonardo, although exhausted by the end of the day, managed to squeeze in one last activity before the park closed: a jump on the trampoline! His courage and excitement throughout the day made it one of the most memorable experiences of our Bali trip.
Overall, Waterbom Bali is a well-thought-out, family-friendly destination that offers a mix of excitement, comfort, and fantastic service. We left with happy memories and a promise to return the next time we’re in Bali. If you’re traveling to Bali with kids, I highly recommend dedicating a day to this incredible water park!
