• The layout of the rooms in Upside Down World favors travelers without mobility issues.

Upside Down World Bali is located in the south of Denpasar, Bali’s bustling capital, just off the Ngurah Rai bypass and about 5 miles (8 kilometers) northeast of the airport. With little formal public transport on Bali, rather than brave south Bali’s toxic traffic, it’s best to book a tour or arrange a private driver.

Upside Down World Bali is open from morning until quite late in the evening seven days a week. It’s quietest soon after opening during the working week or towards closing at weekends. The attraction’s popularity with domestic tourists means you should avoid visiting over Indonesian public holidays.

It rains surprisingly often in Bali, but mercifully the island offers plenty of things to do with kids on a rainy day. Besides art galleries, museums, and malls, trick-photo attractions include Upside Down World Bali, DMZ Bali 3D Art Museum (in Seminyak), and the Interactive 3D Art Museum (in Denpasar). Many kids also enjoy trampolining at Bounce or bowling at Strike in Canggu, while older children will love the island’s many escape rooms.
