Staying in Canggu with kids is a great thing to do and most restaurants will have a kids menu for you to choose from and there are loads of great activities just a short walk from the door of most hotels.
We’ve rounded up 22 things that you can do with your kids in Canggu this year and you’re bound to have an amazing time whatever you decide to do!
Our 21 Best Things To Do With Kids In Canggu
FINNS Recreation Club
FINNS Recreation Club has undergone a series of remodelling activities in the last year and the once mighty Splash Water Park is now a more modest affair aimed at younger children with a “lazy river” running through the centre of it.
However, it still has one of the finest lap pools in Bali if you want to spend some time learning to swim together as a family and there are regular activities for children on the playing fields.
If your kids are mad about soccer, for example, you won’t find a better place for them to play on the island.
Bistro C, their onsite restaurant, has one of the best kids menu options in Canggu too and it has a really awesome build your own dish option for adults too.

Cubby House Kids Club
Cubby House Kids Club is one of the best kids club facilities in the area if you don’t have a club attached to your hotel or resort.
It’s an amazing place for children to play together, to learn arts and crafts and to be cared for by trained staff.
They have an awesome library of games and books to ensure that your kids will never be bored while they’re there.
This leaves you free to enjoy the fitness centre, to grab a massage at the Body Temple Spa or even nip out to that French bakery cafe that you’ve been meaning to try. (Check out the best spas in Canggu and the best cafes too).

Bounce Bali
One of the best forms of exercise for people of all ages is trampolining, the bouncing helps to burn calories and tone your muscle groups.
Bounce Bali is the only trampoline park on the island and it’s one of the best places in Southeast Asia for your kids to literally bounce off the walls.
It was built with children in mind, but it’s fine for adults to join their children in the fun here and it’s great value for money.
The best news is that it’s fully air-conditioned and you won’t end up sweaty and uncomfortable as you work out as a family together.

Bali Equestrian Centre
Bali Equestrian Centre or BEC is a lovely place for children to spend some time learning the ancient art of horse riding.
In fact, it begins with pony rides for the smallest members of the family but eventually, everyone will be big enough to try out a horse riding lesson or two.
It’s a very Instagrammable spot and a ride out in the rice paddies and rice fields of Canggu is a great way to get some fantastic family shots for your social media.
The instructors at BEC are all international qualified and animal welfare is very much at the front of everyone’s minds.
If your children are celebrating a special occasion, you can even book a “unicorn party” at BEC which is super fun.

Strike Bowling (Ten Pin Bowling)
Strike is right next door to Cubby House and Bounce Bali and you should find it very easy to book a pass which gets you access to all these facilities as well as FINNS Recreation Club.
If you love ten-pin bowling, then Strike is the only place to play on the island and it’s amazing fun.
You can enjoy food and drink while you play and it’s not expensive (particularly when you compare the cost of bowling in Australia to the cost of bowling in Bali).
There are six lanes available, so it can pay to book your lane in advance and the facility is ultra-modern with automated pin-setting, scoring, etc.

FAQs
Is Canggu, Bali Good For Kids?
Yes! Canggu, Bali is great for kids. In fact, all of Bali is very child-friendly.
You will find that the locals here are super welcoming to children of all ages and they will often make a real fuss of the littlest ones.
The majority of businesses on the island are set up for families and you should find it very easy to have a meal as a family or to find activities that you can do as a family.
Many of the hotels also run their own private kids’ club facilities which can ensure that your children have a ton of fun during the day while you attend to your tan and get some well-deserved rest.
Which Parts Of Bali Are Kid Friendly?
All of Bali is child-friendly. With the exception of a few resorts, some nightlife areas and beach clubs which are adults-only affairs, you will find that kids are welcome all over the island.
There are plenty of things to do with kids in Canggu and further afield. As much of the island’s industry is tourism-based, children will never be bored in Bali.
Are Kids Allowed In FINNS Beach Club?
As we go to press, children are allowed into FINNS Beach Club as long as they are accompanied by their parents and are kept under supervision at all times.
However, we must note that starting in April 2025, FINNS Beach Club will become an adults-only beach club and after that, children aged 16 years or under will not be allowed onto the premises.
While we always recommend FINNS Beach Club as one of the most fun things to do on the island, it’s fair to say that this party-oriented venue is not the ideal place to spend a family holiday and younger children might be uncomfortable around adults who are consuming a lot of alcohol.
Is Bali Worth Visiting With Kids?
Kids love Bali. The South Coast by the Indian Ocean always has plenty of things for children to do and you can enjoy family fun all over Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, Jimbaran, Legian, etc.
If you stay in one of the resort towns (it doesn’t need to be in luxury suites) you can find a great range of things to do within walking distance of your hotel.
Bali with kids is always great whether you come in the rainy season or the dry season, and there are usually plenty of other kids around for your children to make friends with.
