Is Kidomo worth visiting with kids?

Is Kidomo worth visiting with kids?
Quick answer

Yes, if your child enjoys creative, imaginative play. Kidomo in Chaweng is a small, calm, Montessori-influenced kids' club with role play, crafts, books and toys, from 250 baht an hour. Parents can stay with a child of any age, and drop-off is from age 3. It's not the place for children who want to crash around.

Kidomo: a calm, creative kids' club in Chaweng

Kidomo is a small, Montessori-influenced kids' club in Chaweng, built around lots of different stations for children to move between. There's role play, crafts, books and plenty of toys, and it's calm rather than noisy. Parents can stay, or you can drop your child off, which makes it an easy option for an unhurried hour or two.

Good for

Children who love pretend play, making things and looking at books, in a small, calm, air-conditioned space. Parents who want to stay, or who want to drop off and have a coffee nearby.

Think twice if

Your children want somewhere to crash around and burn off energy.

What's inside

Everything in the room invites a child to get stuck in. There's a wooden play house with a toy shop and cafe for role play, a craft table with paper, pens and paint, shelves of books, building bricks, board games, puzzles and wooden train track. There's also a science-and-sensory corner with test tubes, jugs and pretend fruit.

Drop-off or stay?

Both work. Parents can stay with a child of any age, and drop-off is from age 3. If you stay, there's room to sit and settle while your child explores. You book via WhatsApp or Instagram.

What it costs

It's 250 baht for 1 hour. A 5-hour pass is 1,100 baht (220 baht an hour) and a 10-hour pass is 2,000 baht (200 baht an hour), which works out well if you'll be going a few times. Socks are required, and you can buy a pair there for 30 baht. These prices are from their price list in October 2026, and workshops are priced separately.

Opening hours

The Chaweng branch is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 6pm and on Sunday from 12 to 5pm. It's closed on Mondays. The Lamai branch is open from 10am to 9pm and is closed on Mondays, though that is seasonal. Hours sometimes change during school holidays, so check their Google Maps listing for updates before you go.
