⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A real-life fairy tale! Carnival Magic put our family of three on cloud nine — the dragons, the flying performers, the music, the soaring stage, the surprises around every corner left us mesmerised. Our 9-year-old daughter still talks about it. The Royal Seat upgrade was worth every baht. Heartfelt gratitude to every performer and crew member who made this magical evening unforgettable. A must-visit on any Phuket trip! Our gratitude goes to the cast, the production team, and every member of the crew. The hours of practice, the precision, the joy — it shows. As a family from India visiting Phuket for the first time, this evening was a highlight of our entire trip. If you're planning a family vacation here, do not miss Carnival Magic. Thank you for one of the most magical evenings we have ever experienced. Five stars feel too few!

Knowing that this evening was a true highlight of your family's very first vacation to Phuket from India is the highest compliment we could hope for. We are also delighted that you found the Royal Seat upgrade to be worth every baht. It takes an incredible amount of dedication behind the scenes to bring that level of precision and joy to life each night, and we will proudly share your beautiful words of gratitude with our cast, production team, and crew members. Thank you for choosing I Asia Thailand to arrange this magical experience for your family. We hope to welcome you all back to Thailand for more unforgettable adventures in the future!

This was such an amazing show. I would recommend this to everyone. Lights was spectacular, the show even more amazing.

A fun experience. Including comfortable transportation, buffet dinner, admission tickets to a dazzling parade and an awesome light display. Buffet restaurant has beautiful architecture, great variety of food

Excellent park! The transport was 25 min late to pick us up. Had to call your operator and confirm the driver was on their way. Confusing when we arrived about what order to do things. Missed the parade cuz the time wasn’t posted anywhere. Hard to find a map of the park. However the park was very well maintained, clean, and handicap accessible. Be prepared for a lot of walking. You have to put your phone in a locker during the show cuz of no pics/recording. Locker is free. The light tunnel walkway afterwards is quite long but they offer golf carts to transport you for an extra cost. Carnival games were hard and the odds definitely against you, so pick your games carefully! Buffet dinner had an incredible amount of options. Had a good time! I know the above sounds negative, but that’s cuz we had no map or timeline of what/when to do things. Don’t let that deter you. Follow my timeline below and you’ll love the park. Be sure to check out the very pretty, unique bathrooms. Suggested timeline: Arrive as close to 5:30 as you can. Play games until 6:30. Then eat buffet dinner. Finish by 7:15 for parade start. Be in line for show by 8:15 for 8:30 start time. Runs about 40 min. Follow this immediately with the light tunnel. There is probably another 30 min available for games afterward before the park closes. You then go to the “transport station” and the guides help you get in line for the proper shuttle to return you to your hotel.
Dear O9892SOclaired, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and constructive review of your evening at Carnival Magic. We are thrilled that you enjoyed the cleanliness, the buffet, and the overall spectacle of the park! We sincerely apologize for the delay with your transport due to the prior passengers were very late.Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we will certainly discuss the availability of maps and clearer signage with the park management to ensure a more seamless flow for future guests. We also appreciate your helpful "pro-tips" regarding the locker system and the unique bathrooms—they truly are a sight to see! Your suggested timeline is fantastic and will surely be a great help to other travelers looking to make the most of their visit. We are glad that, despite the initial hurdles, you had a "magical" time with us. Thank you for choosing IAsia Thailand, the leader in travel experiences throughout Thailand. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! Best regards, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)
The experience is so original! Never seen anything like it before, however the kingdom of lights not opening until 9.30-10.30 makes the end of the evening very rushed to pack it all in. We cut short our visit to the forest to make sure we didn’t miss the bus home. Food is ok and not a rip off and it’s a pleasure to see lockers provided. Free of charge for safe keeping of mobile phones during the show. All in all a good experience
Dear Lynda, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! We are thrilled to hear that you found Carnival Magic to be an original experience unlike anything you've seen before—that is exactly the 'magic' we strive to create! We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the opening time of the Kingdom of Lights. We understand that the late start can feel a bit rushed, especially when trying to balance the forest walk and your return transport. We are constantly reviewing our schedules to ensure our guests can enjoy the full scale of the park without feeling hurried, and your comments are incredibly helpful for our planning team. It’s great to know you enjoyed the buffet and found our complimentary locker service useful for your peace of mind during the show. We hope the memories of the lights stayed with you long after the bus ride home! We’d love to welcome you back again on your next trip to Phuket. Thanks, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)
The show is out of this world. Definitely recommend it for everyone of all ages. Only caveat of the place is the buffet. The restaurant itself is “wow”. However, the varied buffet covering a wide range of tastes was below average. None of the food was hot, the majority being cold. We were in section D, which had a limited choice. As such we went into the other areas to find better choices, which there were, but still all tepid. Disappointing to say the least
Dear JAL, Thank you for your review! We are so pleased to hear that you found the show "out of this world" and that you would recommend it to others. However, we sincerely appreciate your honest feedback regarding the buffet dinner. While the restaurant's décor is designed to be a "wow" experience, the quality and temperature of the food should always match that high standard. We are disappointed to hear that your meal was tepid and that you found the variety in your section limited. We have checked our logs for that evening and have no record of these concerns being raised with our floor staff. We always encourage our guests to mention any issues with food temperature or selection to the restaurant team immediately. They are always on hand to replenish dishes or direct you to the full range of international options to ensure you are 100% satisfied. We will share your comments directly with the Carnival Magic catering management to ensure service remains consistent across all sections. Thank you for choosing IAsia Thailand, and we hope the spectacular show remains your favorite memory of the night! Warm regards, Paul
Pick up ride can take 2 hours , visual fantasy land, Parade is great , Show is fantastic , A must see in Phuket
Dear Guest, Thank you for your review! We are thrilled to hear that you found Carnival Magic to be a 'must-see' and that the parade and show provided such a fantastic visual fantasy for you. We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the 2-hour transit time. Being located in the heart of Kamala, travel times can vary significantly depending on your hotel location and Phuket’s evening traffic. While the journey can be long, we are so glad you felt the 'spectacular' experience inside the park made the trip worthwhile. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to see you again for more magic in the future! Best regards, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)
