Children’s Discovery Museum — Attraction in Chatuchak Subdistrict

The children’s museum is quite large with both indoor and outdoor activities. Outdoors has play structures for both bigger and smaller kids and a water play area (only open on the weekend). Indoors main building has a mix of activities and exhibitions to explore. First floor has an activity in the center (that day it was coloring a paper, limit one per child), a science exploration area, funny mirrors, a kids kitchen (must be 6+ years old), and dinosaur exhibit (with outdoor sand to dig, but it is not shaded and no shoes allowed inside). Second floor has some exhibits on arts and activities like weave a basket and make a science experiment. Third floor has wooden building blocks, a lego blocks area, and a kids play theater. There is a separate arts building with a baby room on the first floor (0-12 months) second floor for kids 3-6 exploring different professions like fireman etc. In the front is an arts building for kids 7+ and a family center. There are probably a few more things but I didn’t go to them all.

Some things to note: 1. Admission is free but you must show Thai ID or passport. They give you a wristband when you enter but you won’t need it for anything inside. 2. IMPORTANT Covid restrictions mean every hour on the hour they close every single exhibit plus the outside play structure for the first 20 minutes for cleaning. This is very annoying because your children can only do 1-2 activities and then for 20 minutes there is nothing for them to do but wait for things to reopen. They should stagger the cleaning times so that at least some of the activities are open at all times for kids to do. 3. The indoor area is quite hot as there is only air con in a few small areas or a few fans inside. 4. Bathrooms are quite clean but there is no food so you need to bring your own snacks 5. Some exhibits are closed because they are broken. 6. Some personnel are lovely and clearly love children. Others can be quite curt so just be prepared.

Just down the street is the JJ Mall where you can cool off, eat...
