The short answer
A family cooking class in Ubud at Warung Tumang Bali is in Petulu, about 10 minutes from central Ubud. Children cook and eat with you. They pay IDR 450.000 per guest, the same as adults, and count toward eight seats. Morning includes the market and a rice-field walk. Afternoon skips the market and ends in dinner.
Ubud, in a village kitchen
A family cooking class in Ubud at this kitchen is in Banjar Laplapan, Petulu, about 10 minutes from central Ubud, in Bali. You are not in a hotel hall on the main road. Chef Wayan Suryana teaches in English. Children cook and then eat the same meal.
Children pay IDR 450.000 per guest, the same as adults, and they count toward eight seats. Say the ages when you check dates. There is no cheaper child’s ticket.
Which session suits a family
The 8:30am session shops a working household market, walks the rice fields for about half an hour, cooks, and ends in lunch around 12:30pm. The walk is flat. Closed shoes help. Step around the flower offerings on the path.
The 2:30pm session skips the market, keeps the rice-field walk, and ends in dinner. Choose it when a dawn start is too early. Both sessions include a welcome drink, the food you cooked, a printed recipe booklet, and free pickup from a hotel or villa in the main Ubud area.
The table, and the rest of Bali
A shared day may include other guests until the eight seats are full. A private kitchen is IDR 700.000 for your group only if you want a slower pace. From Seminyak, Sanur, or Uluwatu the optional shuttle is IDR 650.000 once per booking, so a family pays that once, not per child.
What the family actually cooks, including the crepes children roll, is the family cooking class in Bali.
