Bangkok is a city of endless energy, incredible food, and stunning culture—but for parents, the weekend question is always the same: "Where can we take the kids?" The city is packed with amazing opportunities for family fun, but knowing where to go can be overwhelming. As childcare professionals, we've spent countless hours exploring the city with children of all ages. We know what works, what excites, and what truly creates a memorable day. Here is our professional guide to the top 10 kid-friendly activities to enjoy this weekend in Bangkok.
This miniature city run by kids is an unparalleled experience in role-playing fun. Children can try out over 80 different professions—from pilot and firefighter to chef and doctor—earning "money" they can spend. It’s a fantastic blend of entertainment and real-world education.
Escape the city heat and dive into an underwater adventure. Located beneath Siam Paragon, this world-class aquarium is home to thousands of marine creatures. The walk-through ocean tunnel, shark exhibit, and penguin enclosure are consistent favorites.
A massive, clean, and well-maintained indoor playground that is a lifesaver for energetic kids, especially on rainy or hot days. With dedicated zones for toddlers and older children, huge slides, a climbing structure, and an art & crafts area, it has something for everyone.
Located next to Chatuchak Park, this museum makes learning incredibly fun and interactive. Kids can dig for dinosaur bones in the outdoor excavation site, build giant structures, and engage with hundreds of hands-on science exhibits. Best of all, it's free!
Bangkok's iconic central park is an oasis of green in the heart of the city. Rent a swan-shaped paddleboat on the lake, watch the resident monitor lizards, let the kids run wild on the playgrounds, or simply have a picnic on the grass.
For older kids and teens with energy to burn, BOUNCE is the ultimate indoor trampoline park. With interconnected trampolines, a dodgeball court, a giant airbag to jump into, and a "free-running" area, it’s a fantastic way to get active.
Don't let the word "museum" fool you—this place is incredibly interactive and engaging. It takes visitors on a journey to answer the question "What does it mean to be Thai?" through creative, hands-on exhibits that are perfect for curious minds.
This large park in the north of the city is perfect for a family bike ride. You can rent bicycles of all sizes (including those with child seats) for a very low price and explore the sprawling grounds, which also feature a beautiful butterfly garden.
For a dose of unique Thai culture, visit this beautiful old wooden house set on a quiet canal. The highlight is the free traditional Thai puppet show that takes place most days (check schedule). You can also buy food to feed the fish in the canal.
A full-day trip that's well worth the drive. Safari World is divided into two main parts: Safari Park, an open-range zoo you can drive through, and Marine Park, which features animal shows, exhibits, and a river safari ride. The giraffe feeding platform is an unforgettable experience.
Exploring the city is one of the great joys of family life, but sometimes parents need a break too. Whether you want to enjoy a quiet brunch or simply need an extra pair of hands for a big day out, our professional nannies can help make it happen.
