Family Activities in Phuket

There are so many fun things to do in Phuket with kids and the whole family. Of course, you could spend your entire holiday on the beach and in the sea with your children, but it would be such a waste not to add some activities to your stay. The family activities listed on this page are great to enjoy with your kids, and they will love sharing some fun with you!

Here are some favourite suggestions for an unforgettable time with the family. You can book most of these activities with your hotel, all you have to do is ask the reception. They are also widely available at street tour counters.

Phuket Trickeye Museum

Phuket Trickeye Museum is a fun attraction not far from the old Phuket Town, and a perfect escape to spend a couple of hours on a rainy day with the family. It’s called a museum, but it’s more of an interactive exhibit where you must blend inside one of the many large paintings on display. The price is a bit high, but if you have kids, you will not regret all the fun poses and funny photos, you will be able to post on your Facebook and Instagram!

Rush through Splash Jungle Water Park

Splash Jungle is a medium-size water park with water slides and a wave pool in Mai Khao Beach near Phuket Airport. The main attractions are the high slide and a mad spinning funnel that will make you dizzy. A large kids pool provides plenty of fun for the youngest with a mini slide. If you are not a fan of fast sliders, you can gently drift along the 335-meter Lazy River or sit at the large pool bar while the kids are having their blast. It’s fun but rather expensive compared to water parks in most countries.

Blue Tree Water Park

Blue Tree Phuket is an immense water park for adults and kids to spend a day of fun in the warm waters of a tropical island. With its multicolour and brightly decorated building, the park is easy to spot on the roadside of Cherngtalay, halfway between Bangtao beach and the well-known heroine’s circle. This 17,000 square metres lagoon is gigantic, with an impressive restaurant building and a vast array of water activities, water slides, zip lines and paddleboards.

Ice Skating at Ice Arena Phuket

Ice Arena is a place to take the kids for a few hours of fun at the Boat Lagoon, not too far from Phuket Town. Price is 590 baht per hour and person, including skates. The practice ‘penguin’ comes with an additional cost of 250 baht per hour, so you better learn fast! Ice Arena is open from 9 am to 10 pm with short breaks during the day to clean the ice.

Rollerball Zorbing

Get into a giant inflatable (semi) transparent ball filled with a bit of water and roll down a 190-meter long grassy hill in Kalim Beach, near Patong. Silly fun but everyone loves it! 2 people can fit inside which makes it even crazier.

Mini Golf at Dino Park

Dino Park, in the centre of Kata Beach, is still fun and accessible entertainment for the family. With a pretty realistic prehistoric jungle haunted with full-size dinosaurs with an active volcano, it’s halfway between Jurassic Park and The Flintstones. The 18 holes course is fun, not too hard nor too easy but the area is rather hot. Once you finished a game, move to the Flintstones bar for a drink and one of their Dino burgers.
