 Bangkok Kids AttractionsContrary to popular belief, Bangkok is a fantastic place for
parents to bring their kids on holiday. From zoos and theme parks
to museums and indoor playgrounds, there are plenty of things for
children to see and do in Bangkok, more than enough to keep the
little ones happy. When the sun is shining in this, one of the
hottest cities in the world, take the kids to one of the fantastic
water parks, such as Siam Park, Leoland Water Park, or even
Fantasia Lagoon to cool off; or for something really cool, take the
children ice skating at the Sub Zero Ice Skate Club. Want something
a little less energetic? Take a stroll through the Queen Sirikit
Gardens and stop in at the Butterfly Garden and Insectarium where
the kids will enjoy the hundreds of beautifully-coloured
butterflies dancing around them. When the weather in Bangkok is
either too hot, or it''s raining and outdoor activities with
children are not an option, take the kids to one of the many indoor
playgrounds dotted around the city, such as Yoyoland in the Seacon
Square shopping complex, or Jamboree Land in the Emporium Shopping
Complex. Older kids will enjoy the MBK Video Arcade, located in the
MBK Shopping Centre. |
