A well-regarded ethical rescue sanctuary for Sumatran elephants where families can hand-feed, bathe, and interact with elephants up close — a genuine bucket-list experience for kids. Admission packages with elephant feeding and a short bathing session start at approximately $70-80 USD per adult and $50-60 USD for children; booking in advance online is strongly recommended as morning sessions (8am-12pm) sell out quickly. The park is open daily and includes a buffet meal, transport from most Ubud hotels, and knowledgeable handlers who speak with kids about conservation. Children under 3 are generally not permitted on hands-on elephant programs but can observe from viewing areas with parents. Carry sunscreen, bug spray, and a change of clothes for kids as the bathing activity gets everyone wet and the surrounding jungle terrain can be muddy.
