1

Cartoon Network Amazone Water Park

One of Asia's top waterparks with Cartoon Network-themed rides, a wave pool, and attractions suitable for all ages.

Tip:

Open daily. Buy tickets online for a discount. Arrive early — queues for the top slides get long by midday.

2

Pattaya Elephant Village

An ethical elephant experience — daily shows explaining elephant care, bamboo feeding, and bathing experiences.

Tip:

The afternoon bathing programme is the most interactive option for families.

3

Underwater World Pattaya

A large aquarium with a 100-metre walk-through tunnel, touch pools, and fish-feeding sessions.

Tip:

A good 2-hour air-conditioned activity for hot afternoons. Children under 100 cm are free.

4

Pattaya Park Tower

A 55-storey tower with an observation deck, a rotating restaurant, and a thrilling tower drop and zip line from the top.

Tip:

Height restrictions apply for the tower activities. The observation deck is suitable for all ages.

5

Sanctuary of Truth

A vast all-wood temple-palace still under construction since 1981 — an extraordinary cultural attraction that children find genuinely awe-inspiring.

Tip:

Allow 90 minutes minimum. The sunset light on the carvings is spectacular. Avoid midday heat.

6

Mini Siam & Mini Europe

Scale models of Thailand's and Europe's most famous monuments in a single park — fun and educational for children aged 5 and up.

Tip:

Combine with the adjacent Mini Europe section. Entry is affordable and the park is well maintained.
