First opened in February 2025, Harbor Island is Thailand’s newest – and biggest – rooftop water park.
Located on the 3rd floor of The Mall Lifestore, Bangkapi, the space is divided between Harbor Island and Harborland. Separate tickets can be purchased physically at the park for both attractions.
Harbor Island features 7 zones of varying thrill intensities that adhere to European safety standards, ensuring a safe experience for anyone aged 2 and above. Although the park does feature some kiddy zones, it has a good range of thrill rides like free falls and vortexes, so it’s not just exclusive to kids.

The water park spans a whopping 10,000 sqm, so expect to do some serious walking. Tickets are available for either 3-hour or 6-hour slots, but the 6-hour option is recommended, as there are many activities and attractions to enjoy throughout the park.
Harborland, on the other hand, is the dryer side of the park. It’s an indoor playground that features slides, ball pits, and other interactive games more tailored towards younger children aged 15 months to 15 years.
