Fun-filled Family Day at Aparon: A Cool Thai-style Summer Experience!

Beat the summer heat with this amazing weekend destination for kids. Sandy beaches, swimming pools, Thai water blessing ceremonies, Songkran water fights, plus Thai lantern making, fabric dyeing, and Muay Thai – it's like teleporting to Thailand with your kids, complete with authentic Thai food and drinks, all without the airfare! Here's your stress-free, sun-smart guide to exploring the entire park with kids: 1. Arrive around 3:30-4:00 PM and head straight to Starship Maze – a massive climbing net with trampolines and giant slides. 2. While kids burn energy, parents can relax under the spacious shaded area enjoying Chaoyang Park's lake views and cool breezes. 3. Get matching wristbands for kids to collect star energy at Super Kaka stations for rewards. 4. Around 5 PM, shower and change into swimwear at the spacious locker rooms before hitting Torrent Canyon. 5. Three interconnected water zones: - Torrent Canyon (shallow for all ages with fun water features) - Big Mouth Monster (water slides for kids 1.2m+, with free floaties) - Treasure Blue Bay (85cm deep chill pool with loungers and sunset cocktails) 6. After sunset, enjoy Thai cuisine at onsite restaurants or bring picnic supplies. 7. Let kids loose at the massive sand area, Bouncy Nebula, or Tribal Ruins while parents lounge. 8. We stayed until 8 PM (closing at 9 PM) when kids were happily exhausted. Location: Chaoyang Park East Gate 5 (8-min walk in) Parking: ¥8/hour at East Gate 5 lot Pro Tips: 1. Pack kids' swimwear, water guns, sand toys, flip-flops, and spare clothes. 2. Spacious shower rooms with hot water (bring toiletries). 3. Adults should bring swimwear too! 4.
