TL;DR
For a child, a zoo or supervised animal park is generally a safer choice than roadside encounters with wild monkeys. Avoid feeding macaques, keep a distance, and do not carry visible food in monkey areas.
Bali Zoo is a more controlled, family-oriented alternative to visiting wild macaques in the forest, allowing children to see animals without a close roadside or jungle encounter.
Bali Bird Park near Ubud is another organized family outing, focused on birds rather than close contact with wild monkeys.
Bali Reptile Park near Ubud can be a substitute for a monkey forest visit, with a visitor-oriented setting and no need to stop near wild macaques on the road.
