Bali Bird Park Admission Ticket

Bali Bird Park gives you close contact with birds that are usually far out of reach. You can walk among free-roaming birds, enter aviaries, feed friendly lorikeets and pelicans, and watch macaws, cockatoos, hornbills, eagles, and owls at scheduled shows. I especially like the hands-on feeding sessions and the chance to see birds fly overhead rather than only behind glass.

I also like that the ticket includes all bird shows and the 4D movie, so you do not have to keep paying once inside. The main drawback is price: at $18.82 per person, this is one of Bali’s costlier family attractions, and the park’s shows require some planning if you want to catch the best ones.

Key points to know before you go

• More than 1,300 birds: See around 250 species, from parrots and peacocks to flamingos, cranes, raptors, and water birds.
• Free-flight show at 10:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.: Macaws, cockatoos, hornbills, and water birds perform in the Bali Rain Forest Free Flight Bird Show.
• Bird-of-prey show at 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.: Eagles, kites, owls, and falcons fly overhead and swoop down during Basic Instinct.
• Feeding is included: You can join feeding sessions with lorikeets and pelicans, and watch keepers feed baby birds at the avian nursery.
• Allow about three hours: That gives you time for the gardens, aviaries, shows, feeding activities, and 4D movie without rushing.
• Book ahead for entry: The ticket guarantees admission and can be canceled for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time.

Entering Bali Bird Park near Ubud

The first useful thing to know is that this is not simply a row of cages. Bali Bird Park is arranged around tropical gardens, indigenous plant life, walk-in aviaries, and areas where some birds roam freely. That changes the pace of the visit. You are not just moving from enclosure to enclosure. You are stopping often, looking up, and watching for movement in the trees and paths.

Your admission ticket is valid for entry during the park’s opening period. The supplied schedule lists opening hours as 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily from January 1, 2025, through December 7, 2026. The general ticket description gives access between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., so check the exact time shown on your booking confirmation before setting out.

I would plan on roughly three hours. That is long enough to take in the main areas and scheduled shows, but not so long that young children are likely to lose patience. Families with small children are a natural match for this park, though the close contact with birds can appeal just as much to adults who enjoy wildlife.

Free-roaming birds and walk-in aviaries

The park’s most appealing feature is the feeling of proximity. You may find birds walking or flying in open areas, while walk-in aviaries let you get closer than you would at a standard zoo. Peacocks, parrots, flamingos, cranes, and other species are part of the collection, with about 1,300 birds representing roughly 250 species.

I like this format because it gives you time to watch natural movement. A bird sitting quietly on a branch can be more interesting than a staged display, especially when you have space to pause and observe it. The tropical gardens also make the visit more pleasant than a bare series of exhibits, though the greenery means you should allow time to walk between areas.

The park is best enjoyed at an unhurried pace. Children may want to stop at every colorful bird, while adults may prefer to read about the different species or wait for a bird to move into view. If your group has different interests, the park offers enough variety to keep everyone occupied for a few hours.

Feeding sessions and close encounters

Feeding is where this admission becomes more than a basic walk through a bird collection. You can take part in feeding experiences with friendly lorikeets and pelicans. The ticket also includes participation in the available feeding sessions, so these activities do not require a separate admission charge.

The lorikeet feeding is likely to be a highlight for children. It gives you a direct way to interact with the birds instead of only viewing them from a path. Pelican feeding offers a different kind of encounter, with larger birds and a very different appearance and behavior.

You can also watch keepers feed baby birds at the avian nursery. That may be one of the quieter but more memorable parts of the visit. It gives you a look at the care involved in raising young birds, rather than focusing only on the colorful adult animals.

The park also offers close encounters with popular resident birds. One named bird, Anna-Maria, is described as a world-renowned black bird, though the supplied details do not identify the full species name. The park also offers a feeding experience with a Komodo dragon. That is an unusual addition to a bird park and can make the visit feel broader than its name suggests.

Because feeding times and animal activities can shape your whole visit, check the schedule when you arrive. If you simply wander in without looking at times, you may miss the experience that matters most to your family.

The 10:30 a.m. free-flight bird show

The Bali Rain Forest Free Flight Bird Show is presented daily at 10:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. It features macaws, cockatoos, hornbills, and water birds. The key difference from a static exhibit is motion. Birds fly across the performance area, pass overhead, and return to their keepers.

I would give this show priority, especially if you are visiting with children. Watching a large bird take off and cross open space helps you understand its size and ability in a way that a perched bird cannot. The return to the keeper is also part of the appeal, since you see trained behavior without losing the sense that these are powerful flying animals.

You have two chances each day, which helps with planning. The 10:30 a.m. performance works well for an early arrival. The 4 p.m. show suits a later visit, but it leaves less time afterward because the park closes at the end of the afternoon.

A show is still a scheduled performance, so it will feel more formal than wandering through the gardens. That is not a weakness, but it is worth knowing if you prefer entirely unscripted wildlife viewing. I see it as a useful contrast to the quieter aviaries and feeding areas.

Eagles, owls, and falcons at 11:30 a.m. or 3 p.m.

Basic Instinct, the bird-of-prey show, is held at 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. It features eagles, kites, owls, and falcons soaring overhead and swooping down. These birds bring a different kind of drama from the parrots and water birds in the free-flight show.

The best choice depends on how you arrange the rest of your visit. A morning schedule could include the 10:30 a.m. free-flight show, followed by the 11:30 a.m. raptor show. That creates a strong opening to the day, leaving the middle of your visit for feeding sessions, the nursery, gardens, and the 4D movie.

If you arrive later, the 3 p.m. raptor show pairs well with the 4 p.m. free-flight show. That plan gives you two major performances near the end of the day, though you will need to move through the park efficiently before then.

The bird-of-prey show is especially useful if your group is interested in how birds hunt and fly. The large wingspans and quick swoops make these birds easy to appreciate, even if you are not someone who normally spends much time identifying species.

Gardens, the 4D movie, and a sensible three-hour plan

The gardens are not just decoration. They give the park a setting suited to its subject and provide breathing room between the louder or more active attractions. You can use these paths to slow down after a show, look for free-roaming birds, or let children reset before the next activity.

The included 4D movie is another easy addition. I would treat it as a short indoor break rather than the main reason to visit. It can be useful during a warm part of the day, especially for families who need a change from walking outdoors.

For a three-hour visit, I would use one of these plans:

• Arrive around opening, visit the gardens and aviaries, then attend the 10:30 a.m. free-flight show and 11:30 a.m. bird-of-prey show.
• Arrive around midday, focus on feeding sessions and the nursery, then attend the 3 p.m. bird-of-prey show and 4 p.m. free-flight show.
• If show times are less important, spread your visit between the aviaries, feeding activities, close encounters, and 4D movie.

The first plan is better if you want to see both morning shows. The second gives you a slower start but leaves less margin before closing. Either way, do not assume you can see every activity in a neat order. Feeding sessions and animal presentations can set the rhythm of the day.

Is $18.82 a fair price?

At $18.82 per person, the ticket is not the cheapest way to spend a few hours in Bali. The price is easier to justify if you use the included features: all bird shows, feeding sessions, the 4D movie, gardens, aviaries, and the broad bird collection.

I see the value most clearly for families. A child who gets bored with a standard museum may stay engaged through feeding, free-flight performances, colorful birds, and the chance to walk through aviaries. Adults also get a worthwhile visit if they care about birds and want more than a quick photo stop.

The price is harder to justify if you plan to arrive late, skip the shows, and leave after a short walk. In that case, you are using only part of what the ticket covers. Booking ahead also protects you from arriving at a popular attraction and finding entry less convenient, which matters during a tightly planned Bali itinerary.

Food, drinks, and souvenir photos cost extra. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so you must arrange your own transport to the park. Local taxes are included.

What to know about booking and cancellation

You receive confirmation at the time of booking. The ticket is for Bali Bird Park admission, not a guided tour, so do not expect a guide to lead your group around or provide hotel transfers.

The stated maximum is 750 participants. That is a large possible capacity, but the park itself is spread across gardens and aviaries, so your experience will not necessarily feel like one large group moving together. The busiest moments are more likely to be around scheduled shows and feeding activities.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the experience start time. Canceling within 24 hours, or requesting changes within that period, does not qualify for a refund. The cut-off follows local time.

Who should book Bali Bird Park?

I would recommend this experience to families with young children, bird lovers, and anyone wanting a relaxed half-day activity near Ubud. It also works for mixed-age groups because the park combines walking, animal encounters, performances, and a movie rather than relying on one type of attraction.

You should book it if feeding lorikeets or pelicans, seeing raptors fly overhead, and walking among birds sounds more appealing than a quick photo stop. The strongest parts are the close contact and the free-flight shows, both of which give the visit a sense of occasion.

I would think twice if your Bali plans already include several animal parks or if you are trying to keep every outing inexpensive. The ticket is relatively costly for the area, and you need about three hours to get good value from it.

For most families, I would book ahead and arrive with a show plan. Aim for the morning if you want the 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. performances, or use the 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. pair for a later visit. That simple bit of planning lets you enjoy the open aviaries and feeding sessions without spending the whole day watching the clock.
