📋 The Bottom Line
Ubud represents Bali's cultural heart in a stunning mountain setting, but most attractions aren't stroller-friendly. The rice terraces, monkey forest, and traditional villages involve uneven paths, steps, and natural terrain. However, Balinese Hindu culture reveres children, and you'll receive extraordinary warmth and help everywhere. The key is choosing accommodation with good access, focusing on cultural experiences that work for families, and embracing a slower pace that appreciates the spiritual setting.
