Bali Zoo’s Brunch with Capybara Offers Two Daily Sessions

Bali — Bali Zoo is promoting a new Brunch with Capybara experience with two daily sessions that combine dining, supervised interaction and feeding, and full zoo admission, according to promotional materials and local media coverage. The programme is already available to book through the zoo and partner platforms; current information does not support a specific launch on Sunday, 20 September 2026.

The brunch is marketed as a relaxed, family-friendly activity centred on the zoo’s resident capybaras at Capy Café. NOW! Bali describes it as the island’s first dining experience alongside the animals, pairing a laid-back atmosphere with close, supervised encounters. Online travel agencies similarly highlight the opportunity to observe and feed capybaras in a managed setting while enjoying a meal.

Schedule, prices and inclusions

According to NOW! Bali, Brunch with Capybara runs in two sessions each day, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Bali time (WITA). Session times listed by travel platforms and booking sites are consistent with a 90‑minute brunch experience and fixed time slots.

NOW! Bali reports that the programme is priced at IDR 750,000 per adult and IDR 525,000 per child, with the package including one selected meal, one beverage and full zoo admission. A Detik Bali feature on Capy Café notes that visitors are asked to reserve at least one day in advance, and states that interactive dining with capybaras includes Bali Zoo entry, a full lunch, one drink and a supervised feeding session.

The Detik report also describes differing price structures by session, but the zoo’s own marketing and English‑language partners present a single adult and child price for the brunch product.

Travel platforms advertising Brunch with Capybara list broadly similar inclusions: Bali Zoo admission, a dedicated brunch seating, a choice of one meal and one drink from a selected menu, and a capybara feeding and interaction experience, with some packages also mentioning insurance coverage. Contact details published by NOW! Bali direct visitors to Bali Zoo’s main phone numbers and website for further information or booking.

Interaction and welfare framework

NOW! Bali states that guests may hand‑feed the capybaras with their favourite treats under the careful supervision of Bali Zoo’s professional animal‑care team, with the stated aim of ensuring the animals’ comfort and well‑being. Booking platforms emphasise that interactions follow animal‑welfare guidelines, with no unsupervised contact and activities led by trained staff or zookeepers.

A Detik Bali interview with the zoo’s head of public relations likewise describes keeper‑supervised feeding and interaction with a small group of capybaras at Capy Café.

Available materials do not specify details such as feeding quantities, maximum group size per session, rest periods between sittings, or specific procedures to end an interaction if an animal shows signs of stress. However, partner listings note that guests are asked to arrive before their scheduled start time, that sessions are of fixed duration, and that the brunch takes place in a dedicated area designed for controlled observation and interaction.

Capybara Connection encounter

In addition to the brunch, NOW! Bali reports that Bali Zoo offers a separate Capybara Connection encounter without the dining component. This experience is available in three daily sessions, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

WITA, and is priced at IDR 605,000 per adult and IDR 430,000 per child, according to the magazine. Travel platforms likewise promote capybara interaction sessions as distinct products from the brunch, featuring guided education, supervised feeding and close observation under zookeeper oversight.
