When and how to visit Phuket FantaSea
To make your evening at Carnival Magic perfect and hassle-free, I've gathered the latest schedule and logistics information for 2026. This place is massive, so timing is everything!
I've attached a map in the photos☝️
📅 Schedule and Opening Hours
The park doesn't operate every day, so plan your visit in advance.
Operating Days: Monday, Wednesday, Saturday.
Park Hours: 5:30 PM – 11:30 PM.
Dinner (Bird of Paradise): 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM (it's best to arrive by 6:30 PM to enjoy your meal before the show starts).
Main Show-Parade "River Carnival": Starts at 9:00 PM (doors to the hall open at 8:30 PM). The show lasts about 50 minutes.
Kingdom of Lights: Opens right after the parade ends (around 10:00 PM) and operates until closing. This is the best time to stroll among millions of lights.
🚕 How to Get There:
Best Options
The park is located on Kamala Beach (in the same area as Phuket FantaSea).
Official Transfer (Most Convenient): When purchasing your ticket, add the transfer option (usually +350–400 baht). You'll be picked up directly from your hotel lobby around 5:00 PM–5:30 PM and brought back after closing. This is the safest and easiest option if you're traveling with a friend.
Taxi (Bolt or InDrive): If you're coming from Patong, the trip takes 15–20 minutes (cost ~300 baht). From Phuket Town or the Wichit area, it takes about 35–40 minutes (~450–550 baht).
Own Bike: The road to Kamala through the hills is very scenic, but be cautious on the curves in the evening. The park has a large free parking area.
💡 My Timing Tips
Arrive by 6:00 PM. This gives you 2.5 hours before the show. This time is enough to:
Have dinner in the golden hall of Bird of Paradise.
See the world's largest popcorn machine and grab a portion.
Watch mini street performances, bubble shows, and catch giant balloons.
Don't forget the dress code. The park has a lot of air conditioning (especially in the restaurant and show hall), so it might feel chilly. Bring a light scarf or cardigan.
Storage Lockers: Before entering the River Palace (for the show itself), you'll need to store your phones in a locker. Don't worry, it's very well-organized, and everything is returned quickly upon exit. But make sure to take all your photos in the park and by the popcorn machine before 8:30 PM!
🎈Tip:
The best light photos are taken in the "Kingdom of Lights" at the very end of the evening (after 10:00 PM). There are fewer people, and you can capture empty spots among the lights.

It was as magical as it can get. Had fun with the shows and the various activities available. The actors were very interactive as well which adds on to the overall satisfaction.
Carnival Magic was simply the best of the best. Everything was perfect. I didn’t get bored for even one second during the whole hour!! The international buffet with food from so many different countries was incredibly inspiring for me. Much love! It honestly made me think that I’d love to bring my future children here one day — it felt just like a dream.
Красивый парк аттракционов. Много локаций для фото, приветливый персонал, красивое представление.
I recently visited Carnival Magic in Phuket and had an amazing time! The vibrant atmosphere, spectacular shows, and stunning costumes were truly impressive. The staff were friendly, and the park was clean and well-organized. Great food options too. Highly recommended for a fun night out!
The lovely place children experience exquisite 😍 performance, cute place 💕 everything is very organized and well though out with every little detail taken into account. recommend coming to visit.
The place was great, especially for kids. The illumination lighting was extremely awesome, but of course, it was very hard to get great portrait photos with illuminated background. Highly recommend if you love illumination. Buffet, on the other hand, was average at best. The taste is just okay It might be okay if you don't come with high expectation though. The show was...what should I say?? Costly, extravaganza?? It was great and look beautiful at first, but after a few minutes, you got bored
Had a great time with the kids at this magical place. The kids were having a great time dancing to the music and admiring the beautiful lights. The show is highly recommended and the buffet was also very good for big family. A place to check out with your lil ones!!
This place is straight out of a fairytale. Phuket trip is incomplete without going to Carnival Magic. The place is so stunning that it seems unbelievable at the first look. Show is extraordinary amazing and so the buffet meal is. Take out your camera, cluck unlimited photos and shoot videos. Spend an adorable evening here. Lots of fun both for kids and adults. Don't miss out on this place.
