Phuket is an exciting destination for all ages, and it's not all centred on the beach. For times when your kids want something other than chilling on the shore or swimming in the ocean, there are plenty of activities lined up. Aimed at the very young and teenagers, listed below are some of the best.
Spend a day of fun and laughter enjoying yourself at the Trickeye Museum. A museum of interactive 3D paintings the place gives you and the family a chance to goof off, pose and have some laughs. There are over 100 paintings and sculpted scenes which promise to place you in rather humorous and awkward positions, which create the perfect photo opportunity as well. The museum is open from 9 am to 9 pm and is perfect to spend a day at when you are not enjoying the beach or relaxing at your Phuket luxury resort.
This is an upside down house located on the outskirts of Phuket Town. A rather unique place to explore, kids will love the fact that tables, chairs and other types of furniture are located on the roof of the house. Don't forget the cameras folks for this is one concept you won't want to miss clicking some photos with. The garden is shaped like a maze while the third attraction there is 'The Chamber of Secrets @ Baan Teelanka, which is a section of the house with two rooms from which you have to escape with the help of clues. Open from 10 am to 6 pm, the place is just 40 minutes from centrally placed resorts like Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas, and is quite a thrill for the entire family.
At Surf House you are treated to the perfect wave no matter what the weather condition is outside. The place is a thrill for both kids and adults, where the grownups can chill at the bar or restaurant while children practise their surfing skills; mind you surfing is not reserved for minors and anyone young at heart can give it a go. Located on the south end of Kata Beach, flowriding for kids is done under the supervision of expert instructors.
Wet and wild fun is on the cards at this theme which is one of the most famous in Thailand. Especially aimed at children, the park boasts 12 rides, slides and other attractions. It all safe too, with professional lifeguards on duty to make sure everyone stays safe.
Located on Kata Beach, this park offers families a chance to enjoy a game of golf amongst pre-historic dinos. The park made up of 18 holes is enhanced with life-size images of dinosaurs. The place is well laid out with each hole offering a unique theme where participants are treated to varied aspects of the pre-historic world. Open from 10 am to 10 pm, this is not the only golf park in Phuket; you can check-out Phuket Adventure Mini Golf.
