How Kids-Friendly is Tirta Gangga?

73%Kids-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 73% Kids-Friendly: Children enjoy balancing on stones, feeding koi, and splashing in the shallow spring pool, but ponds lack railings, surfaces are slippery, and there is no lifeguard, so vigilant adults must supervise.

The place is stunning – lush gardens, traditional statues, and massive koi fish in crystal-clear ponds. Feeding the fish was a fun (and surprisingly cheap) highlight! That said, it felt a bit too touristy. It’s a shame that many visitors ignore local customs and walk in wearing shorts and sleeveless tops – it takes away from the sacred atmosphere. The entrance fee is also twice the price of other...

A beautiful royal water palace. One of the must see while in Bali. A very well maintained garden to be enjoyed all day. Don’t forget to buy fish food from one of the stalls around the parking lot. We can soak into the pool also, if you bring extra clothes. Then charge up at the restaurant or coffee shop inside the garden. There is also a museum if you interested to know the one who built the gar...

If you can get there early morning, it is less crowded. There is good food available at reasonable prices. The gardens are very nice and well maintained. The fish look over-fed. We were waiting for somebody to fall in the water in their quest for the ultimate Instagram photo! Unfortunately, nobody did. 😂

The gardens are beautifully maintained, with koi-filled ponds, elegant stone statues, and fountains creating a truly picturesque setting. A new museum within the complex adds depth to the visit, showcasi...

It's a peaceful place for a quick stop, and you’ll definitely be able to capture some b...
