How much does it cost to take kids to playgrounds and play spots around Lovina?

Lovina Beach is free. Gitgit Waterfall, Banjar Hot Springs and Air Sanih all charge a small entrance fee in the budget range, with parking sometimes billed separately. None of these run at mid-range or premium prices, which makes a full day out here cheaper than a comparable day at a south Bali beac

Is Gitgit Waterfall or Banjar Hot Springs better for a toddler?

Banjar Hot Springs, generally. Gitgit needs a 15-minute walk down stone steps that's hard with a stroller or a tired two-year-old, while the hot springs pools sit close to the parking area and include a shallower section. Save Gitgit for when your kids can walk a jungle path on their own.

What's the best time of day to drive out to these spots with young kids?

Leave Lovina by 8am for Gitgit or Banjar, since both fill with tour buses from mid-morning on. For the beach, early morning or late afternoon avoids the worst heat. Air Sanih, being further east, works best as its own morning trip rather than an add-on to another stop.
