Discover the Best Family Activities in Pattaya
1. Experience the Dolphin Show at Pattaya Dolphinarium
It’s a splash!
The dolphin show is not just entertaining but also interactive, offering you and your kids a chance to get up close with these friendly creatures.
Considering sustainable tourism practices, I’m confident that the dolphins lead happy and healthy lives here.
Tips: You’ll get wet sitting in the front or second role.
Location: Dolphinarium Pattaya
2. Go Kart Race at EasyKart Pattaya
Visiting EasyKart Pattaya was a total thrill!
My friends and I spent a few hours go-kart racing there.
The facility is great for both beginners and those with more experience, making it an ideal choice for groups with different skill levels.
We kicked off on the beginner track. The karts have lower speeds, and there are even dual-seater karts for younger kids who aren’t ready to drive alone.
At the end of the race, the scoreboard will show how fast you are.
You’ll be impressed by the high safety standards at EasyKart.
Price:
- Walk-in: 750 THB per round
- Online Booking: 599 THB per round (Book Here)

This is the perfect spot for a half-day adventure with your family and friends.
Previously known as the Cartoon Network Waterpark, this water park now features attractions themed around Columbia Pictures.
There’s also a surf house zone which you can practice surfing as a beginner. The price is already included at the entrance.

4. Explore Wildlife at Khao Kheow Open Zoo
Embark on a wildlife adventure at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo.
This expansive zoo allows you to meet and learn about animals in open settings just like their natural habitats.
You can take the tram to visit each station in the green area.
For the pink area, you can only use your personal car or electric car (available for rent).
It’s a fantastic way to educate your children about wildlife conservation while enjoying the great outdoors.

5. Embrace the nature at Elephant Jungle Sanctuary
Bathing the elephants was a highlight for me; there’s something magical about washing and playing with these gentle giants in their natural habitat.
It’s an intimate experience that fosters a deep connection with nature.

Navigate through a labyrinth of mirrors and challenge your perceptions at this unique attraction.

7. Relax with Thai Massage at Royal Garden Plaza
After a day full of adventures, what better way to unwind than with a traditional Thai massage?
Located conveniently within the Royal Garden Plaza, you can choose from foot, Thai, or aroma massages.
I find it’s a perfect way to rejuvenate before your next day of exploring!
