If anyone tells you Pattaya is an adult-only destination, we are telling you they are WRONG! There are plenty of enjoyable and family-friendly activities in and around Pattaya, making your holiday in Pattaya with kids a lot of fun with quality family time spent.

We’re sharing some of our family-friendly recommendations below, so you can pencil them down for your next trip!

FROST Magical Ice of Siam

Enjoy some respite from the equatorial heat and humidity in FROST Magical Ice of Siam – ASEAN’s largest ice dome – and walk through 30,000 square meters of ice sculptures, exhibits, and activities.

Designed to reflect the rich culture of Thailand, engage in an educational tour outdoors as well as indoors in -10 degrees temperatures, as you gain insight into Thai literature and urban legends and learn about the various characters from Thai fairy tales and legends.

Imagine walking in a pure white snowfield at the Himmapan Forest, and getting a chance to feel how it is to be in sub-zero temperatures when you enter Siam Heaven where the temperature dips to -10 degrees Celsius.

They are open from 9 am to 6 pm daily.

Great&Grand Sweet Destination

Great&Grand Sweet Destination is a magical place of desserts and candies to make your sweet dreams come true. Chill at their ice cream parlour where you will probably take some time to choose from 36 ice cream flavours ranging from the classic vanilla and chocolate to more adventurous ones like lavender and baileys. It is also a milk bar and coffee shop if ice cream is not your thing.

 

The highlight of this place is their dessert-themed park full of supersized sweets like giant candies, cakes, bubble gum trees in pretty pastel colours for the hundreds of Instagram-worthy photos you can take. It definitely makes you feel you are in Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.

This sweet adventure is for the entire family, including fur kids! You’ll be happy to know that the café is pet-friendly and allows your fur babies to join in for a sweet treat.

The café is open daily until 6 pm and admission fees start from THB 66 for children and THB 99 for adults on weekdays, and THB 120 on weekends and public holidays. Follow their Facebook page for the latest updates.
