Best Things to Do in Phuket, with kids

The Big Buddha, Phuket is 48% Kids-Friendly

You may drive up for views and let children spot monkeys, but cliff edges have minimal railings, the 95-step climb is closed, and paid toilets lack child seats, sinks or hand-dryers.

Recommended visit duration: 0.5-1 hour

Gold Shooter Club is 45% Kids-Friendly

Children under 15 may shoot only BB guns with staff supervision, but live-fire noise is loud, no play zone or child toilets exist, and ear protection may still feel overwhelming.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Phuket Shooting Range is 44% Kids-Friendly

Children up to 12 may use archery or BB guns with coaching and safety gear, yet firearm noise, no playground, no child discounts and zero real-gun access reduce family comfort.

Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

Seaview Elephant Camp is 38% Kids-Friendly

Kids may enjoy feeding elephants, but chains, loud tricks, no play zone, and no educational program mean many parents cut visits short despite child pricing.

Recommended visit duration: 1–2 hours

OTOP Market is 35% Kids-Friendly

Kids are allowed but find little to do; aisles get crammed, music loud, alcohol focus after dusk, and there is no play zone, so a brief daytime browse only suits some families.

Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

Kathu Shooting Range is 35% Kids-Friendly

Only kids 8–12 may shoot low-caliber guns under signed parental supervision, and there is no play zone, so gun-interested older children may enjoy it while younger ones are excluded.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Bangla Rd is 25% Kids-Friendly

Kids under 12 may enjoy early evening street food or Laser Battle, but after dark the road shows pole dancers, loud profanity, second-hand smoke, and has no child toilets, so stays are brief.

The Wake Up Club is 9% Kids-Friendly

Entry is limited to guests 18 years and older, so children under 13 are strictly barred and there are no kid-friendly facilities or shows whatsoever.
