8 Best Water Parks in Phuket for Kids: Family-Friendly Fun & Slides
Phuket's water park scene has consolidated significantly in recent years
Phuket's water park scene has consolidated significantly in recent years. Here are 8 real, currently-operating options worth knowing about, plus an honest note on why a once-popular third park is missing from most current lists.
1Andamanda Phuket
Located in Kathu District. Gate price runs around 1,800 THB for adults and 1,200 THB for children, free under 90cm. Open daily 10:00 to 19:00. This is Phuket's biggest and most complete water park, spanning 100,000 square metres with 29 to 32 slides depending on the count, a large wave pool and a 550-metre lazy river, one of the longest in Southeast Asia. The Wonder Waterland zone has dedicated mini slides and shallow paddling areas built specifically for toddlers. One honest drawback: it gets busy during peak periods and Thai public holidays, and the most popular slides can build real queues by early afternoon.
2Splash Jungle Water Park
Located in Mai Khao, near Phuket International Airport. Gate price runs around 1,050 THB for adults and 750 THB for children. Open daily 10:00 to 18:00. A calmer, more budget-friendly alternative to Andamanda, with 12 rides loosely themed around different regions of the world. The AquaPlay zone is specifically built for younger children with water toys and splash areas, and VIP cabanas are available for families wanting a private resting spot.
3Cartoon Network Amazone Water Park
Located in Bang Tao Beach. Themed around Cartoon Network characters, with the high-speed Omnitrix slide and the more relaxing Adventure River as standouts. Themed zones based on Adventure Time and The Powerpuff Girls bring familiar shows to life for kids who know the characters.
4Pororo Aquapark
Located in Mai Khao Beach. Entry runs 1,295 THB for adults and 650 THB for children, open daily 10:00am to 5:45pm. Themed around the Korean cartoon character Pororo, with rides like the Pororo Funnel, Eddy's Adventure and Tong Tong's Magic Slide, alongside a calmer Pororo's River for those wanting a gentler pace.
5Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa
A sprawling resort water complex with thrilling slides alongside a tranquil lazy river, a strong option if you're staying at the resort and want water park fun without leaving the property.
6Novotel Phuket Surin Beach Resort
Located right on Surin Beach. The resort's aqua park features twisting slides, water cannons and a giant tipping bucket, a fun, resort-based option for guests staying in this area.
7Kata Sea Breeze Resort
Located in Kata Beach. Features exhilarating slides, splash pools and a dedicated kids' zone, a solid choice for families based in Kata who want water park access without a separate day trip.
8Phuket Orchid Resort & Spa
Located in Karon Beach. Offers a family-friendly water park with thrilling slides, splash pools and a lazy river, entertainment for guests of all ages right at the resort.

An honest note on Blue Tree Lagoon
Practical tips
Book Andamanda or Splash Jungle online rather than at the gate, both parks typically offer a 10 to 30% discount for advance online booking.
Choose Splash Jungle specifically if you're staying near the airport or northern beaches, it's a 15-minute drive from Phuket International Airport.
Visit Andamanda on a weekday morning if you want to avoid the worst queues, it gets noticeably busier during peak periods and Thai public holidays.
Take a Grab rather than a taxi to either standalone park, fares from Patong to Andamanda typically run 300 to 500 THB.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Planning a visit to Blue Tree Lagoon based on an older guide or review, the water park closed permanently in August 2024 and the site no longer has any water rides.
- Assuming a resort water park like those at Hilton Phuket Arcadia or Novotel Surin is open to non-guests, most resort water parks are reserved for hotel guests only, confirm before planning a visit if you're not staying there.
- Skipping online booking for Andamanda or Splash Jungle, the 10 to 30% discount versus gate price is a real saving worth claiming.
- Visiting Andamanda during a Thai public holiday without expecting crowds, the most popular slides can build long queues by early afternoon on these days.
