Frequently asked questions
How much do Aquaverse tickets cost?
The gate price is around 1,590 THB for adults, but online e-tickets regularly start near 1,176 THB — about a quarter cheaper. Children under 3 enter free and reduced child/senior rates apply.
When is Aquaverse open?
10:00 to 18:00, closed on Wednesdays — the same closure day as Ramayana, so don’t plan either park for a Wednesday.
Is Aquaverse worth it versus Ramayana?
If your kids love Ghostbusters or Jumanji, yes — the theming, characters and movie-screen wave pool are unique. For sheer number and size of slides, Ramayana wins and costs slightly less. Enthusiasts do both on different days.
How do I get there from Pattaya or Bangkok?
From Pattaya it is about 25 minutes south by car (Bolt/Grab roughly 350–450 THB). From Bangkok allow around 1 hour 40 minutes by car — the park markets itself to Bangkok day-trippers as well.
