Phuket is a fantastic island to visit if you have children in tow. No question, moulding sand into castles along endless shores is a must-do here, but is about much, much more than that. Think waterparks with hair-raising slides, restaurants where rabbits twist and jump, and zipline adventure parks enthralling youngsters and adults alike. Whether you’re an animal lover or a grown-up water baby, here are the best things to do in Phuket with kids.
1. FEED RABBITS AT THE RABBIT HOLE

More than a rabbit hole, this restaurant in the Thalang area is all about animals. Roaming ducks quack, turkeys gobble in a shrill, descending, throaty jumble, and rabbits frolic in the corral, jumping and twisting and kicking their feet out. Better known as the Japanese ‘good luck fish,’ koi fish glide effortlessly through the pond’s water. Buffalos enjoy water spray, and flamingos preen themselves with their upside-down bills. Aside from riding ponies around the premises, one of the most popular family activities in Phuket is feeding rabbits in the restaurant.
2. SHOOT PHOTOGRAPHS AT THE SELFIE EXPERIENCE

The enigmatic name implies there’s something mystical about this 100,000 square-metre waterpark in Kathu. Nail-biting sea adventures straying into Thai mythology, Sino-colonial architecture hinting at Phuket’s tin mining heritage, and the Naga Jungle’s rides make this adrenaline-fuelling amusement park unique. From the Coral World to the swimming pool with a James Bond island replica, Andamanda is divided into five theme zones. With water slides and terrifying drops with thrill-level information, minimum height and maximum weight requirements, Andamanda is the epitome of family travel in Phuket.
4. FLY THROUGH THE JUNGLE AT HANUMAN WORLD ZIPLINE ADVENTURES

Are your kids little daredevils? Show them Hanuman’s crazy roller coaster zip line. Flying through the jungle at break-neck speed, approaching almost vertical loops and spirals, they’ll be screaming at the top of their voices. You can also cross the five sky bridges, listen to the wind whispering in the treetops, and watch monkeys jump from branch to twig. With 16 ziplines up to 40m high, 32 platforms, three abseils, two spiral staircases, and a honeymoon sling, Hanuman World offers adventurous family travel in Phuket.
5. STAY IN A KIDS-FRIENDLY HOTEL
