The entire space is air-conditioned, so the children can run around without worrying about the weather outside, whether it’s rainy or too hot. You’ll also find a cafe area, perfect for refuelling during a half-day trip to this indoor activity center.

Imaginia Playland, located on the 3rd floor of Emporium Mall, offers some of the most modern, creative and downright fun kid’s activities in Bangkok. It's not only about having fun, though you would be fooled into thinking so seeing the excited children running around like it’s Christmas morning.

Kidzania at Siam Paragon offers a higher level of fun for kids in Bangkok.

They can role-play real professions in their ‘small city’, earn and use their special currency.

Both kids and adults will love Kidzoona at Molly Fantasy, on the 5th floor of Gateway Ekkamai Shopping Mall. It’s a place for younger children to let off some steam, with a soft play area, inflatable slides, a pink merry-go-round, and plenty of trucks and trikes to speed around on.

A flat rate applies for adults, giving you all-day access to the play area. Kids aged over 12 years old are not permitted, but if you’re coming with teens there are some arcade games at the entrance to Molly Fantasy that will keep them entertained for a while, as well as the Japanese-inspired mall to explore.
