5 Perfectly Planned Family Holiday For You

Here are the five perfectly planned family holiday for you, bring to you by Agoda.

Phuket

With a rainforest, endless beaches and even a mountain, what family could get bored on this resort island in the middle of the Andaman Sea?! Stick together for a few outdoor explorations, or go your separate ways when everyone needs their own space. There’s no better destination for a family than Phuket!

• [col]
• Family activities - Create some friendly family competition with a game of miniature golf at Dino Park; watch the FantaSea acrobat show, or visit the Gibbon Rehabilitation Center at Bang Pae Waterfall. For a true adventure, take a boat trip to a nearby island. Which island? Bond Island! James Bond Island, of course.
• Parents - Take a Muay Thai or deep-sea diving class, and then hit a spa or get a foot massage by the beach. Shopping is always an option, of course, and hit one of the most popular nighttime attractions for adults at the Simon Cabaret show.

• Teenagers - Teens can venture out on their own to escape rooms and night clubs, or learn to ride waves at Surf House Phuket. Patong Go-Kart Speedway and Flying Hanuman Phuket are also popular for adrenaline junkies – or kids who just have too much energy. 
• Kids - For a totally parent-free and safe day out, younger children should check out Kids Club Phuket and the Mid-Air Circus Arts Academy. Splash Jungle Water Park, Phuket Bird Park, Baan Teelanka (upside down house) and Phuket Trickeye are some other options that give kids their space with some supervision required.

Come, explore Phuket.

Tokyo

High-energy families who like to mix fun with learning never have a dull moment in Tokyo. Between museums, an imperial palace, ancient shrines, and of course, Disneyland, Japan’s capital city offers a perfect combination of attractions for everyone in your family.

• Family activities - A trip to Japan wouldn’t be complete without watching a sumo match and visiting the Miraikan (National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation). Get the crew up before the sun and head to Tsukiji Fish Market for an outing you’ll reminisce about for years! 
• Parents - The Tokyo Bay Night Cruise is the perfect way to spend a romantic evening. Adults also love the Kurand Sake Market, and this time of year is perfect for a cup of tea and a colorful stroll at Hamarikyu Garden. 

• [col]
• Teenagers - Go extreme on a Samurai Kart tour, or spend the day exploring, learning and riding rollercoasters at Space world. 
• Kids - Introduce young children to new tastes with a walking food tour. If they give sushi a try, reward them with a trip to Ueno Zoo and The Railway Museum, or make all their dreams come true at Tokyo Disneyland and Puroland (Hello Kitty amusement park). 

Explore Tokyo.

Seoul

All aboard! It’s time to hop on the Seoul train! Discover K-pop in a land famous for its beauty secrets, or plan a family photo shoot in traditional costume. Futuristic landmarks, buzzing street markets, rooftop parks, Buddhist temples and spicy kimchi are just the beginning to family fun days in Seoul

• Family activities - Ride a cable car to Namsan Park, and keep everyone intrigued at the Rolling Ball Museum and Fun Museum. If you want more excitement, head to Lotte World! Literally everything is there, including an indoor theme park. For movie night, head to Times Square, where you’ll find CGV Starium, the world’s largest permanent 35mm cinema screen with ticket prices fixed at 10,000 won (US$9) per seat – whoaaaa
• Parents - Museums and rooftop bars rule in Seoul. Romance also rates right up there. Couples can take photos in traditional Korean costume at Bukchon Hanok Village or take a day trip to Enoshima Island to profess their love at Ryuren Bell of Love. Another popular adult activity is taking a plunge at a jimjilbang (local bathhouse).

• Teenagers - Hipster cafés and cosmetics galore equal fun times for teenagers. Older kids can shop safely on their own in Myeongdong fashion district and Dongdaemun Market. Better yet, send them to Everland Theme Park for a day, or dare them to eat live octopus at Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market.
• Kids - Youngsters love to feed deer in Seoul Forest and have a run at Children’s Grand Park, where they can view animals at a zoo and work off some energy at an amusement park. If you encounter a rainy day in Seoul, spend time indoors at Seoul Children’s Museum or Tesium, a hands-on teddy bear theme park.

Shanghai

The sky is the limit for family entertainment in Shanghai. With epic skyline views and the fastest train in the world, thrills abound in China’s most populated city.
