After exploring Bangkok for its culture, food, shopping and entertainment, treat yourself and your family to some exciting adventures by visiting a theme park. Here is a list of the best theme parks and water parks in Bangkok.
If shopping is all that comes to mind when thinking of Bangkok's malls, you've definitely not checked this out. Fantasia Lagoon is a water park that has two branches, both located on the rooftops of shopping malls, namely The Mall Bangkapi and The Mall Bangkae. Even though most believe it to be geared more towards kids, Fantasia Lagoon's multiple pools, slides and play areas cater to all ages to deliver some fun-filled splashes.
This is not only Bangkok's oldest water park but also its largest. In operation since the 1980s, Siam Park City is located on the outskirts of Bangkok towards the northeast of the downtown area. With multiple zones and endless pools, slides and rides, make sure to give yourself a whole day or more to fully explore and enjoy the park.
Ideal for those much younger, this is a play zone that is located in Siam Paragon which is most probably Bangkok's most popular and prestigious shopping mall. Kidzania Bangkok focusses on encouraging learning opportunities and experiences via educational play. It's an innovative concept where kids get to pick a career on entry such as a doctor or a firefighter or even a journalist. Then they are given costumes that match that profession and get to play in those jobs and can pick up souvenirs on the way out as well.
This is quite probably the most popular theme park here and is located in the Thanyaburi district. If its adrenaline pumping, hair raising excitement you seek, Dream World has enough rides to satiate all your desires. From fairy tale characters to a winter wonderland and scary rollercoasters, there is enough fun here for those of all ages. If you're looking for the best service apartments in Bangkok, there's actually quite a bit of good choices to select from, like Chatrium Residence Sathon Bangkok for example.
Venturing a little out of the conventional idea of a theme park, the Safari World Zoo and Park is an exciting animal park with a stellar reputation. You'll be able to join in on a safari exploration that takes you on a drive through various ginormous grounds like the zoo, marine park and bird park. The Zoo, however, is the most impressive and exciting thing of all, where you'll be able to spot various creatures like bears, lions and even tigers who all roam in their spacious surroundings.
Located within the Mega Bagna shopping centre that is close to Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport, The Marvel Experience offers a whole variety of fun for those who love its iconic characters. This makes it an excellent final stop before your flight back home. Interactive rides, selfie spots and 3D technology that turns you into your favourite character make this a fun spot for all ages.
