Splash Jungle Water Park has plenty of non-thrilling attractions, too, including a quiet play pool for kids, soothing hydrotherapy springs, and a lazy river. There are plenty of places to eat, including snack huts and four bars and restaurants, including a swim-up bar. A variety of options are available for visiting the park, and while some people pre-book their tickets and visit independently, those without rental cars may prefer to book a package that includes round-trip transfers.
Splash Jungle Water Park is located directly north of the Phuket International Airport, about an hour's drive away from Patong Town. If you're staying in the Mai Khao Beach area you can easily access the park on foot, but those staying elsewhere on the island are better off either hiring a taxi for the ride or booking a package that includes tickets and round-trip transfers.
Splash Jungle is open daily throughout the year and is busiest on weekends. You'll get fewer crowds on rainy days (the monsoon season starts in late May and goes through September), while the island is at its busiest during the Christmas holidays and during the Thai New Year, Songkran, in April.
Phuket is full of family-friendly destinations, beyond beaches and water attractions. Visitors with kids can go on thrilling rides at the Patong Go-Kart Speedway, check out the amusingly disorientating Upside Down House, see optical illusions at the Trickeye Museum, or learn about local wildlife at the Phuket Bird Park or the Gibbon Rehabilitation Center.
