What an Ubud Palace ticket covers
The ticket on this site is an entry ticket to the Legong dance show in the courtyard of Ubud Palace. It is valid on the visit date you select, children and adults are charged the same admission rate, and the ticket is valid for all passport holders. Prices start from $6, and 4,421 reviews put the rating at 4.37.
There is no transfer to book. The listing tells guests to go straight to Ubud Palace and present the voucher for admission. The ministry calls the palace the Ubud royal family's own home, set at the center of Ubud, with part of it still lived in and some areas open to the public.1,2 Ubud palace tickets buy a seat at the evening show, not a tour of the royal residence.
The rating breakdown on the record is candid: transportation scores 3 and value for money 4.5. That fits what the ticket is. Value is the strong point, while transportation is a mark for the getting-there part, which the ticket leaves entirely to you.
A week in Ubud
Where the Ubud Kecak listing plays each day
| Day | Kecak venues in the listing | Palace Legong evening |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | ARMA | 19:30 |
| Tuesday | Pura Dalem Kutuh Kaja; Batukaru temple, by women | 19:30 |
| Wednesday | ARMA | 19:30 |
| Thursday | The palace at Peliatan | 19:30 |
| Friday | Sayan | 19:30 |
| Saturday | Dalem Junjungan temple; ARMA | 19:30 |
| Sunday | Pura Dalem Kutuh Kaja; Sayan | 19:30 |
Days and venues are the labels in the Ubud Kecak listing, and the palace show is listed as daily; the voucher is the final word on venue and day.
Show times at the palace and beyond
The Ubud Palace dance show starts every evening at 7:30 PM and takes around 90 minutes, and the listed validity is 1.5 hours. The palace evening runs on the same clock every day of the week.
The Kecak tickets work differently. The Ubud Kecak listing says the stage gates stay open from 18:00 until 19:30, and the dance starts at 19:00, and its listed duration is 1 hour. The Barong and keris listing starts at 9:30 in the morning, and with its transfer option guests are collected at 8:30 AM.
Outside Ubud the clock changes again. The Uluwatu Kecak listing gives 6 PM for the first session and 7 PM for the second in the evening season, on the south-west coast, a different part of the island from Ubud.3

The Ubud dance schedule by weekday
For the weekly Ubud dance schedule, the Legong at the palace is the fixed point: every day at 7:30 PM. Around it, the Ubud Kecak listing names a venue for each option and day, and tells guests to follow the location on their voucher, as shows run on different days at different venues.
By day, the listing's labels read: Monday, Wednesday and Saturday go to ARMA; Tuesday to Pura Dalem Kutuh Kaja and to Batukaru temple, for a performance by women; Thursday to the palace at Peliatan; Friday to Sayan; Saturday also to Dalem Junjungan temple; and Sunday to Sayan and Kutuh Kaja. The table below turns that into a week.
Treat the table as a map of what the listing sells, not as the venues' own calendars. Programs change, and the voucher is the authority. If you want a dance on a particular night, pick the date at checkout and read the venue on the confirmation before you plan your evening.

Arriving, seating and the small print
Seating at the palace is not assigned in the listing, which recommends reaching the palace at least 45 minutes ahead of the show if you want preferred seating. Reviewers disagree on how early is enough: one who arrived 25 minutes ahead regrets it, another who came 30 minutes ahead still found good seats.
Two reviewers add useful details. Guests are handed a booklet at the entrance that explains the dance, and the area outside the seating has mosquitoes, so repellent helps. The Kecak listing wants guests there 30 minutes ahead, modestly dressed, with a light jacket or shawl, and without flash.
Access is covered. The palace listing is wheelchair and stroller accessible, and the Kecak listing is wheelchair accessible with a skip-the-ticket-line feature, while saying venues should be checked for specific needs in advance.

Prices and refund rules compared
Starting prices for an Ubud dance show are close together. The palace Legong ticket starts from $6, the Ubud Kecak ticket from $6 and the Barong and keris ticket from $5. A private evening in Ubud that includes the palace show starts from $39.
The refund rules are where they differ. The palace ticket is non-refundable. The Kecak listing offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before for a full refund and reserve now and pay later, and the Barong and private listings also state free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
That does not make the palace ticket a bad buy; it makes it one to book when you are sure of the night. If your trip dates are still moving, a refundable Kecak ticket or the private evening gives you room, and the calculator at the top of this page prices each option for your group.

One of the most famous variants is the Legong Kraton, or the "Legong of the Palace," which recounts the story of a Balinese king and his court.
Checklist
Before you buy and before you go
When choosing a ticket3
- Pick a date you will not need to change
- Compare the refund line on each listing
- Check the live price at checkout
At showtime3
- Reach the palace at least 45 minutes before 7:30 PM
- Show the voucher at the entrance
- Wear repellent against mosquitoes outside the seats
For the family3
- Children are charged the same admission rate
- The listing accepts wheelchairs and strollers
- Carry a light layer for the evening
Booking the palace without regrets
Pick the night first, then the ticket. The palace ticket holds one date and returns nothing, so choose an evening you will not need to move, and keep the voucher on your phone for the entrance. Check the availability calendar on the booking panel for the date you want.
Plan the rest of the evening around the 7:30 PM start. Leave time to arrive at least 45 minutes ahead, and allow about 90 minutes for the show itself. The palace sits in the heart of Ubud.1
If the palace is full of surprises for you, remember the Legong guide and the dance-types page on this site. They explain what the dancers are doing, so the booklet you are handed at the entrance becomes a bonus rather than a lifeline.
Rain, season and the no-refund rule
The palace ticket cannot be refunded; the season deserves a glance. The Indonesian tourism ministry places the rains between November and March and the dry months between April and October across most of the country, Bali among them.5 The Japan Meteorological Agency's Denpasar normals, taken at a station on the coast, run from 27.6 mm of rain in July to 350.7 mm in January.6,7
The listing does not say what happens when a shower arrives during the show, and it describes the ticket as valid on the selected visit date only. A wet-season booking is a small gamble you can soften: pick a date early in your stay so a spare evening remains, and pack a light waterproof layer.
The dry months are the easier ones for an evening outdoors, and the same ministry page that sets the seasons is worth a look if you are still choosing your travel month.5 Coastal air readings are not Ubud's, which lies inland on higher ground, so treat the numbers as a guide to the pattern and not as a forecast for the courtyard.
Families, groups and mixed plans
The calculator at the top lets you choose a ticket and a head count, and it multiplies the starting price. For the palace ticket the sum stays simple: children and adults are charged the same admission rate. Parents should still check the dates of any other plans before committing, as the ticket cannot be refunded.
Mixed groups can mix tickets. One person might take the refundable Kecak listing while the rest hold palace seats, and the Kecak listing even offers a front-seat option at one venue. If you want everyone in the same row, book the same ticket and arrive together at least 45 minutes ahead.
For travelers who would rather not organize anything, the private evening tour from $39 bundles the palace Legong with a visit to the Tegallalang rice terraces and a look around the Ubud art market, with pickup included. It costs more, and it saves the planning.
