Trick-eye museums are created for the young and of course also for the adults who are young at heart! The Phuket Trickeye Museum attracts large numbers of families that are travelling with kids. It's one of the most popular attractions among locals too. The museum features an array of interactive 3D paintings that present perfect photo opportunities.
Baan Teelanka is a quirky, upside-down house that ceaselessly enchants kids. The place boggles your mind because everything inside the house is also positioned upside-down on the roof! Baan Teelanka offers many activities and games that the whole family can enjoy together too.
Adverse weather conditions and lack of expert supervision often make surfing a dangerous activity for kids when travelling in Phuket. But when you visit the iconic Surf House Phuket you can let your children ride the waves all day, every day. There are many experienced professionals on-site to guide and direct your kids while you enjoy a relaxing break at the adjacent bar!
Let your kids go wild at the Splash Jungle Water Park that offers rides that are suitable for all ages (even toddlers). The wave pool here is sure to thrill your grown-up children! You can reach this sensational venue in 30 minutes by car from leading resorts in the region like Anantara Layan Phuket Resort.
Children are fascinated by prehistoric beings while adults find golfing truly addictive. So the whole family will be blissfully entertained at the Dino Park which offers facilities to enjoy mini golf! Teach your children the rules of the game you love while they tell you the strange names of the menacing prehistoric beasts that will stand in their spots, silently watching your game.
The Kids Club Phuket is a charming little play area that is located in close proximity to Jungceylon Shopping Centre. After you have spent long hours mercilessly dragging your tots from one shop to another, bring them over to The Kids Club to reward them for their excellent behaviour! There are plenty of exciting activities for them to enjoy here and the attentive carers will definitely take very good care of them as they play.
The Anthem Wake Park which offers three cable water-skiing options on a 50,000 square metre lake is one of the best places to visit with children.

When you stay at a centrally located Phuket family villa you will be able to reach this venue with great ease.
This is a place that offers exhilarating thrills for the whole family. Located at the base of Patong Hill's Kathu side, the Patong Go-Kart Speedway includes a 750-metre long track. Of course, every measure is taken to ensure the participants enjoy the activities in safety.
Children who are 4 years and older can be taken to the KidzSole Flying Trapeze where they will have lots of fun 'flying'. The activity is quite safe and most kids bravely swing back and forth in no time after the short briefing that is given by the supervisors. The venue uses a smaller version of the giant apparatus used in circuses by trapeze artists.
If a passion for flying is ignited in your children's hearts after the visit to KidzSole Flying Trapeze, you can take them to the Flying Hanuman and let them zip through the air, 40 metres above a thick jungle! This place is also quite safe for children as stringent standards are always maintained.
