Question
Which show is better to attend with children, Magic Carnival or Phuket Fantasea?
Insider's Response
In Phuket, you can visit both events, but the choice depends on your preferences.
Magic Carnival opened recently but has already earned several international awards. It’s divided into several themed zones. The first zone is a carnival fair with souvenir shops, entertainment halls where you can play games, and many photo zones scattered across the large park. You can also rent costumes and take fun photos. There’s even a petting zoo where you can interact with rabbits, kittens, and chinchillas.
The next zone is the “Paradise Bird” restaurant. If you bought a ticket with dinner, this is where you’ll be, enjoying dishes from various cuisines like Thai, Indian, and European. There’s a special section for children’s meals. If your ticket doesn’t include dinner, no worries, there are several cafés on the premises. After dinner, you’ll be invited to the performance hall, though recording the show is prohibited. After the show, you can explore the themed “Kingdom of Lights” zone. If you love vibrant colors and a carnival atmosphere, this is the place for you.
Phuket Fantasea is quite similar to Magic Park and is also divided into several zones. The first zone is colorful and lively, with attractions and various games. There are plenty of shops for every taste. If you want to feel like a Thai king or princess, you can take a photo on a throne wearing traditional attire. There’s a mini zoo where you can take photos with large parrots and visit the White Tiger Kingdom, where the animals leisurely roam behind glass. For an additional fee, you can ride and feed elephants. There’s also a large play area where you can leave your child for an hour while you explore the beautiful surroundings. If you bought a ticket with dinner, you can visit the massive restaurant that has made it into the Guinness World Records. It offers a wide variety of dishes, from Thai to international cuisine. After the restaurant, you’ll be invited to a beautiful Thai show, but unfortunately, filming is not allowed. It’s a great place to keep both children and adults entertained.
