While Bali Zoo maintains consistent opening hours throughout most of the year, here are some additional tips to consider when visiting:

Ramadan: During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, operational hours for some attractions in Indonesia might adjust slightly.
Special events: Bali Zoo occasionally hosts unique events or animal encounters outside of regular hours. Keep an eye on their social media pages for announcements about these special events and their timings.
Show schedules: Animal shows and presentations might have specific showtimes throughout the day. The zoo's park map might provide a detailed schedule to help you plan your visit around these presentations.

Peak season vs low season

Peak season (July - August, December): Bali experiences peak tourist season during these months. While the weather is generally sunny and dry, expect larger crowds and potentially higher prices for flights and accommodation.
Shoulder seasons (May - June, September - November): These shoulder months offer a good balance between crowds and weather. You might encounter slightly fewer visitors compared to peak season, with comfortable temperatures.
Low season (January - April): The low season in Bali coincides with the rainy season. While you might encounter occasional showers, you'll benefit from the smallest crowds and potentially lower travel costs.
