The 35 best parks and gardens in Hanoi

Thong Nhat Park (also known as Reunification Park) is one of the largest and most iconic green spaces in Hanoi. Located in the heart of the city, near major roads like Le Duan and Dai Co Viet, it serves as a refreshing escape for both locals and tourists. What makes Thong Nhat Park special is its blend of natural beauty and cultural significance. The park features a large lake named Bay Mau, where visitors can rent paddle boats or enjoy peaceful walks along the shaded paths. There are also wide lawns, tree-lined avenues, and flower gardens that make it a perfect place for picnics, jogging, or simply relaxing. Families often bring their children here to enjoy the playgrounds or take part in community events. In the early morning and evening, the park becomes lively with locals practicing tai chi, dancing, or exercising. Although some areas of the park could benefit from better maintenance and more modern facilities, the overall atmosphere is serene and welcoming. Recent efforts to renovate certain parts have made it even more attractive and accessible.

healing for the soul, so much oxygen for a crowded place like hanoi it feels like an escape, totally suggest the đạp vịt (duck cycling on the lake?), food not overpriced (surprisingly), the amount of greeneries is overwhelmingly soothing

A nice flat park to walk or exercise in. On Saturday there seems to be Karaoke at the lakeside cafes. Other reviewers said that you pay to enter but you don't. The payment is for parking motorcycles. Lots of cafes, popup clothing shops, a children's railway. Motorised children's play vehicles just outside the park. Some momentary relief from the constant traffic and beeping.

Nice quiet park for practice, walk, martial art, street workout... Is huge, so enough space

This was one of the better parks I have visited in Hanoi. Spacious, interesting, and beautiful. As an Australian, it was particularly nice to see a long stand of eucalyptus trees in the park. The smell of home...

Great big park with lots of people exercising, running. Also some small Places to get some refreshments

Just an amazing park for a relaxing morning, afternoon or evening. Locals and foreigners visit for recreational and social reasons. There is a great trail around the lake with many places to sit and enjoy the ambience of nature. As well, there are several lakeside cafes. Public toilets provided.

This city park appears to be more of an amusement park than a serious zoo with conservation and the welfare of the animals as the main priority. To be honest, I missed most of the animals and just concentrated on the island in the centre of the boating lake. Some visitors were feeding the monkeys through the wire netting. It's clearly a big favourite with young families at the weekend, and although some people were teasing the animals, most were generally respectful, and the children were just curious. Pricing for children is by height (!), great if your kids are late developers. I was charged 50,000VND as a foreign tourist.

The animals in the park seem quite suppressed, pacing around in confined spaces. There is very little shade throughout the park, so it’s recommended to bring your own water and sun protection. There are small vendors throughout the park selling snacks, drinks, and paid amusement rides—whether or not to spend on them depends on your personal preference.

The park does seem to be more of an amusement park then a zoo. The animals seem to come second to the rides, prizes and stalls. The bear especially was overheated and seemed confused. If the park was maintained better and focused of conservation it would be a lot better.

The worst zoo I have ever seen. Cages are too small and dirty. Rats are everywhere. Animals were clearly distressed,many were shaking their heads and pacing anxiously. Not one looked animated and comfortable. There was no stimulus in any of the cages e.g no climbing facilities for monkeys. I felt close to tears.

Terrible… it is no zoo but kids park with lots of rides. Those few animals there jas limited and not nice place, except the elephant, they seemed to have space for some dignity. So kids park yes, not a zoo. If you can choose, go to zoo in Saigon.

Even during the weekend, few people visit the zoo. My experience was terrible — it was too hot and there was limited shade.

I am not sure how to describe my experience in Ha Noi Zoo. First I would like to note that I am a big lover of animals and I have visited many Zoo and Aquarium all around the world. The best ones being in Bali, where animals are alll free and they are living like in private resort. So with the things I saw in my travels, it is very hard to give review for Ha Noi Zoo. The price is very cheap, only 50,000 VDN per person. The stuff is very nice, kind and they welcomed me and my boyfriend very warmly. There is a lot of activities for small kids, which is amazing for families that come with children! The only thing I am sad about is the animals. They look sad, depressed, like they already said "Goodbye" to their freedom. They are locked up in small cages that are not suitable for them. They have no place to move, explore and personally I don't think they adapted their living space to what they should have in nature. Some of the animals are missing fur and feathers. To me, it was very sad to visit this Zoo. To resume, the stuff is very nice and polite, there is a lot of rides and fun things for children to do, but the animals look like they are suffering. At least, in my personal opinion.

It's a little small but it's a nice and clean decent park surrounded by many buildings.

The trails surrounding the lake are good for walking or running. It is suitable for children to play in the playground. But where the water was stagnant, the fish was dead and smelled. The visit a few days ago was under construction.

A pity we wasn't aware of the fact that the park is undergoing a major revamp so when we got there by grab, we had to turn around. Though I can't wait to see the park at its completion. I could see a lot of work going into the project. A thumbs up to the vietnamese government! But sadly we noticed dying fish in the pond. Sad to witness this all across Hanoi.

This space is very good for children. Anout the game, It includes in 3 area: one for babe( under 5 years old), one for kid ( up 5 years old) and one for adult. Besides, there are many kind of flowers in there. Look so beatiful! This park is good for who wanted to exercise too. The air is fresh.... Summary, Cau Giay park is one of good choice for F5 your week.

yessir childhood park but terrible conditions so im balancing but present over nostalgia so gotta gove it a low star rating

Large, quiet, green color. Good for relax with kids or alone. Easy parking. But poor service due to state bureaucracy investment. You should bring your own drinks and food rather than buy here. Very cheap entrance ticket.

Cau Giay Park is a large green space in the district, but my recent visit was disappointing due to its current state. The Downsides: · Under Construction: The park is clearly a work in progress. You'll encounter construction materials, blocked-off areas, and the accompanying noise, which really detracts from the peacefulness you expect from a park. · Not Clean: The ongoing work likely contributes to this, but the park is not well-kept. There's litter in places, and the general feeling is a bit unkempt. · Too Much Stone, Not Enough Grass: This was the biggest letdown. The balance is off. There are extensive stone pathways and paved plazas that make it feel more like a square than a park. I found myself wishing for more soft, open grass fields to sit or play on, but they are scarce. The Positives: Its main advantage is itslarge size, offering a spacious area for people to walk around. It's a place you might go for a long, uninterrupted stroll on the paths. Verdict: As it is now,Cau Giay Park feels more like a public square than a relaxing green oasis. It might be worth a visit if you live nearby and just need a large, open space to walk through. However, I wouldn't recommend it for a relaxing picnic, a family outing where kids can run on grass, or for anyone seeking a tranquil escape from the city. Perhaps it will improve once the construction is complete.

A recommendable place with tranquilty that located in the heart of the populated, burstling city. Such a refreshment. Cons: not so many trees as I expected

Beautiful place. Love to walk around the lake. Plenty of good coffee shops nearby. People are always friendly, lots of things to do if you've got the time to enjoy it.

It's a park. Good for romantic walks around the lake. Many benches. Good for exercise/running.

Known as Thanh Cong Lake - Nice place for physical exercise and running with beautiful lake, fresh trees, good paths.

Really nice park. It's small but the walking path is nice, and the gardening is nice too.

Perfect for a run when the air quality index is suitable ~100 or lower. I often go run at 7 p.m when there are not many vehicles moving around on the streets nearby.

It's a nice enough park. If you ignore the Indira Gandhi part of it. I have no issues with her per say but her grandchildren are a great disappointment.(park is nice though)

We visited this lake as part of a city tour. The stories told by our guide were certainly more interesting than the surrounding scenery and attractions. It's definitely a must-see if you're staying in Hanoi.

Located at the heart i.e old part of Hanoi near old quarters. In English it is known as lake of returned sword It’s one of the most famous tourist spot for visitors and hangout spot for locals The circumference of lake is paved for joggers. At evening lot of crowd gather at square near lake to enjoy the serene atmosphere with local music bands /individuals playing music. There are lot of vendors selling food to tourist No ticket required to visit here. There is a famous temple located at the islet in the lake reached via wooden bridge that lighted from evening. The lake is habitat to giant turtles ,few bodies of turtles are preserved and displayed in the temple. There is also a old tower at midst of lake. A must visit place in Hanoi.

Second time to visit Hanoi, and the Hoan Kiem lake areas are still my top choice to stay in. I really love the ambiance, especially in the morning and nights, looking at locals exercising or even dancing together!

Such a magic place to visit, perfect for a casual walk after a feed or even to get some exercise in. Seeing the locals exercise around the lake gives you a feeling of happiness and calm. It's truely beautiful ✨️❤️

To have this lake in the middle of Hanoi is such a respite from the hustle bustle of the old quarters. It's breezy and calm, and seems to absorb all the frenzy within it. Love sitting by the lake on cloudy morning or breezy evenings and chewing away on my banh mi. Highly recommend to stay close the lake, preferably with lake facing views from hotels when visiting as a tourist.

This is a great site to go for a walk and see some of Hanoi. There are other sites nearby this lake, as well as a plethora of places to eat and drink.

Hoan Kiem Lake is the calm heart of Hanoi — a beautiful place to walk, relax, and enjoy the city’s atmosphere. Surrounded by trees, cafés, and local life, it’s especially charming in the evening when the lights reflect on the water. Peaceful, scenic, and a must-see in the Old Quarter.

First time come. Bicycle is banned and also for dog. Wide space

(Translated by Google) My first time going to Nghia Do park. I walked to the park, entering the gate did not cost me a ticket to visit the park. There is a place to park my motorbike on the right side of the gate. It's right next to the park, I don't know how much it costs. The park is also relatively large, airy, and has a lot of shade from trees, which is quite pleasing to the eye. The main road in the park is the road surrounding the lake, about 1km. In addition, there will be small branches around the edge of the lake, but not too many. The lake is large, airy and quite cool, but the lake is a bit dirty because there are many dead fish along some corners and sometimes there is trash. Even though fishing is prohibited, I still see many people placing fishing rods. Fortunately, the water smell is not overpowering. Looking around, I see that in the past, the park also had shops selling drinks and toys for children, and there was also an amusement park selling tickets, but now most of them are old and empty. There is only 1 small area left for children to play and 1 small water bar. It's quite cool inside the park so I saw quite a few people coming here to lie down on the benches. In the park, there is a toilet area right from the entrance gate, opposite a red-roofed house with many pigeons perched on it. When walking or jogging, please pay attention to the path because there are many bricks that are pushed out of place, and when it rains, there is a lot of water stagnant there, making it easy to trip and get dirty. I think if the park were renovated and taken better care of, it would be ok, a place to comfortably exercise and breathe fresh air. Well, today I went around noon so there were very few people. (Original) Lần đầu mình tới công viên Nghĩa Đô. Mình đi bộ tới công viên, vào cổng mình không mất vé tham quan công viên, có chỗ gửi xe máy thì ở phía tay phải của cổng nhé, ngoài sát công viên, mình không rõ bao nhiêu tiền. Công viên cũng tương đối rộng, thoáng, và cũng rất nhiều bóng mát của cây xanh, nhìn cũng khá thích mắt. Con đường lớn trong công viên là con đường bao quanh hồ, khoảng tầm 1km. Ngoài ra, sẽ là các nhánh rẽ nhỏ quanh viền hồ, nhưng không quá nhiều nhé. Hồ rộng, thoáng và khá mát nhưng hồ hơi bị bẩn vì có nhiều cá chết ven một số góc và thi thoảng có rác. Dù ghi cấm câu cá nhưng mình vẫn thấy nhiều người đặt cần câu lắm. May thay là mùi nước không bị nồng lên. Nhìn xung quanh mình thấy có vẻ trước đây trong công viên cũng có tổ chức bán hàng kiểu nước, đồ chơi cho trẻ em, cũng có cả khu vui chơi bán vé, nhưng giờ hầu hết bị cũ hết và bỏ trống hết rồi, chỉ còn lại 1 khu nhỏ cho trẻ em chơi và 1 quầy nước nhỏ thôi. Ở trong khuôn viên của công viên khá mát nên mình thấy khá nhiều người vào đây nằm dài trên ghế. Trong công viên có khu nhà vệ sinh ngay bên tay phải từ cổng rẽ vào, đối diện nhà mái đỏ có rất nhiều chim bồ câu đậu trên đó nhé. À lúc đi hay chạy bộ nếu được mọi người chú ý đường đi nhé vì có nhiều viên gạch bị lậy ra khỏi chỗ, mưa xuống là có nhiều nước ứ ở đó, dễ bị vấp và bẩn ấy. Mình thấy nếu công viên được cải tạo và được chăm sóc kĩ hơn thì cũng oki lắm, một chỗ để thoải mái tập thể dục, hít thở không khí trong lành. À nay mình đi lúc tầm trưa nên cũng vắng người lắm.

(Translated by Google) The park opens right on Ho Tung Mau street, intersecting with Le Duc Tho and Nguyen Co Thach streets and opposite Mai Dich cemetery. This year 2024, as the park is open, the infrastructure is quickly deteriorating due to the large number of people passing by, especially students from neighboring schools organizing activities. Besides, motorbikes enter indiscriminately on the narrow road and on Ho Tunhf street, there are many sidewalk shops and restaurants, so it also affects the neighboring trees. There's a lot of trash, the dry season makes the plants shabby,...

(Translated by Google) My family and I arrived at Nghia Do park at noon after finishing our journey to visit Uncle Ho's Mausoleum, Ho Chi Minh Museum, and One Pillar Pagoda in the morning. My family prepared snacks and took a lunch break at Nghia Do park. Here the space is clean and airy, with lots of green trees and toys for children to experience. There is also a small path around the park for pedestrians to exercise. Preschools also often register to organize experiences for children here. Admission is free of charge. Have fun, the children are very happy to come here. The location is easy to find and the bus stop is right at the park gate. The most special thing is that opposite the main park gate is the Museum of Ethnology. An extremely large museum that shows the cultural and lifestyle costumes of Vietnamese ethnic groups... If you visit Nghia Do Park, you must definitely let your children and yourself visit the Museum of Ethnology. Especially on Saturdays and Sundays, the museum also has water puppet shows. No more rambling. Wishing you and your family a happy holiday experience!

I don't know anything about that God but I went to that place found peace I go there once a week good 👍👍👍👍👍

It was peaceful and good for a morning walk. You can just sit and enjoy the quiet atmosphere. Must see! 🇻🇳🇻🇳

As I entered Ly Thai To Garden, the serene beauty of the landscaped greenery immediately captivated me. Located in the heart of Hanoi, this tranquil oasis provided a welcome escape from the city's hustle and bustle. Strolling along the winding pathways, I marveled at the meticulously manicured gardens and vibrant flowers in bloom. The sound of trickling water from ornate fountains added to the peaceful ambiance, creating a perfect setting for relaxation and reflection. Finding a quiet bench, I sat down to soak in the surroundings. Watching locals and tourists alike enjoying leisurely walks and picnics, I couldn't help but feel a sense of connection to the community and the rich history of the area. As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the garden, I felt a profound sense of gratitude for the opportunity to experience such natural beauty in the heart of the bustling city. Ly Thai To Garden had provided me with a moment of tranquility and rejuvenation that I would carry with me long after leaving its peaceful embrace.

I love private karaoke. Plenty rooms to choose from. Several floors of pure joy. Choice of songs is amazing, even could find Russian songs. Fruit plates are also great.

it's in central Hanoi..very beautiful place. people come here more in the evening and spend till midnight. i saw many children are playing here. they are skating, cycling and other activities. there's a big road lakeside which is good for evening walk. people will obviously love that place. when go in the evening i saw many activities. there's a group of rap singer enjoying themselves. i saw children riding cars, skating. must visit place of you go to hanoi.

Icool is the best karaoke company in Saigon. They're friendly and clean. You can play songs directly from YouTube. Their biggest room has a pool table.

This park around the lake is really a peaceful area in Hanoi, very beautiful place for evening or morning walking. in the weekend all sq and streets around were close to the traffic and it was open just for pedestrians. in each corner a group of people were dancing, singing, doing acrobatic things etc. i saw a real happiness there and really enjoyed the weekend in Hanoi style.

Truc Bach Lake in Hanoi is a peaceful spot, perfect for a morning walk. The calm waters and fresh breeze make it a refreshing start to the day. Surrounded by charming coffee shops, it’s ideal for a quiet break. You can sit by the lake with a cup of Vietnamese coffee and just unwind. The views are soothing, especially during sunrise and sunset. A lovely place to relax and soak in the city’s slower, scenic side.

Beautiful lake with quite some temples dotted around and a lot of coffee shops and restaurants. It’s a good place to stroll around

In the 17th century, the embankment was built by the villagers of Yen Phu and Quan Thanh on both sides. They are said to have divided the West Lake into two sides and created an isolated lake (for fishing). Thanh Nien Street existed from 1957 to 1958, when it was formed by a narrow embankment. During the lifetime of President Ho Chi Minh, the youth and students of Hanoi made it into the wide street it is today, according to his suggestion.

It looks like they have cleaned up the lake? The surroundings very peaceful and laid back. Had lunch at a restaurant overseeing the lake during winter and the weather is just delightful. There are paddling boats for rental and a couple of small boats littered the tranquil waters. Opposite banks there are hotels and quaint 4-5 storey houses with fabulous lake views. Nice place away from the hussle of the Old Quarters.

Hanoi maybe popular for Hoan Kiem Lake, but actually Truc Bach Lake which is located in Ba Dinh District must not be missed as well. It is a good place for afternoon stroll or even at daytime. There are a lot of spots to take photos as well as a lot of places to just sit and relax. The surroundings also offer numerous food and beverages. A popular Tran Quoc Pagoda is also located at the side of this lake. Visitors to Hanoi can take e-hailing or taxi to this lake

A 1.5-kilometer path runs right around Truc Bach Lake on the north side of Hanoi, Vietnam.

Quite lake with stunning view when the sun goes down on West Lake. :) Running or Strolling along the road, both of them are recommended if you visit Truc Bach area.

We stayed in the Hanoi Old Quarter and it was nothing short of amazing! We experienced the people, culture and atmosphere of the Old Quarter. Walking through the busy streets was both exhilarating and quite the adventure navigating people, cars and motorcycles. It was a rush! The people are friendly, kind and welcoming and some became like family. I HIGHLY recommend staying at a hotel in the Old Quarter and experiencing it for yourself.

Hanoi Old Quarter is a lively and fascinating part of the city filled with history, culture, and endless energy. The narrow streets are packed with shops, cafes, and street food vendors, making it a great place to explore on foot. It can get crowded and noisy, but that’s part of its charm. The mix of old architecture and modern life gives it a unique atmosphere that really captures the spirit of Hanoi.

Grounding experience to visit the old quarters and get a peak into a blend of the old and new in Hanoi. Vibrant streets, bustling with mopeds, and people going about their work. Flocks of people enjoying a meal and beer together. Lots of small plastic stools signature of the area. Just a pleasure to walk through these lanes and discover every nook and corner. You see what you seek!

Hanoi Old Quarter is a must visit, or even better, a must stay if you’re traveling to Hanoi for the first time. Its narrow, bustling streets filled with cafés, hotels, souvenir shops, and all kinds of local stores will amaze you and make you feel like you’ve stepped into another world. The Old Quarter is still home to many locals, so you’ll see people going about their daily routines alongside curious travelers. At night, the area becomes even livelier, busier, and full of energy; an experience you definitely shouldn’t miss.

Hanoi's Old Quarter is not merely a place; it's a full-blown sensory experience. From the moment you step into its labyrinthine network of streets, you are plunged into a whirlwind of activity that feels both ancient and ceaselessly modern. It is, without a doubt, the historical and cultural heart of the city, and an experience no visitor should miss. ​Historically, the Old Quarter was a bustling centre of commerce, famously composed of 36 streets, each dedicated to a specific craft or trade—Hang Bac for silver, Hang Gai for silk, Hang Quat for fans, and so on. While the specialisations have blurred over time, this centuries-old layout remains, creating a fascinating maze to explore. The architecture itself is a story, with narrow, deep "tube houses" squeezed together, their façades a captivating mix of traditional Vietnamese design and fading French colonial elegance. ​The true pulse of the Old Quarter, however, is its street life. This is where Hanoi truly lives and breathes. The pavements are a non-stop parade of commerce and daily life. Motorbikes, laden with everything from passengers to precarious towers of goods, weave through pedestrians with an instinctual grace that is both terrifying and mesmerising to the uninitiated. ​Food is, perhaps, the district's crowning glory. The Old Quarter is a street food paradise. Forget fine dining; the best meals are served from bubbling pots on the pavement, enjoyed on diminutive plastic stools. A steaming bowl of phở for breakfast, the smoky, sizzling delight of bún chả for lunch, a crusty bánh mì on the go, and, of course, the decadently rich cà phê trứng (egg coffee) in a hidden-away café. Every corner offers a new aroma, a new flavour to discover. ​By day, the streets are a blur of shoppers haggling in dong-packed markets and tourists navigating the wonderful chaos. By night, the area transforms. The famous Ta Hien, or "Beer Street," becomes a throng of locals and travellers alike, spilling out from bars onto the road, sharing cheap, refreshing bia hơi (draught beer) and plates of fried snacks. Nearby, the serene Hoan Kiem Lake offers a beautiful, illuminated contrast, with the iconic red Huc Bridge leading to the Ngoc Son Temple—a perfect spot for a quiet evening stroll. ​A word of warning: the Old Quarter is not for the faint of heart. It is noisy, it is crowded, and the constant flow of traffic can be overwhelming. Crossing the road is an art form in itself (the trick is to walk slowly and confidently, allowing the traffic to flow around you). ​But this chaos is precisely where its charm lies. The Old Quarter is not a sanitised museum piece; it is a living, breathing, brilliantly hectic neighbourhood. It’s a place where you can find exquisite silk, sip world-class coffee, and eat one of the best meals of your life, all within a few square metres. For the traveller seeking authenticity, energy, and a true taste of Hanoi, the Old Quarter is, quite simply, essential.

Hanoi Old Quarter is vibrant, chaotic, and full of charm. Narrow streets, endless cafés, local shops, street food stalls, and buzzing energy at every corner. It’s the best place to feel the real pulse of Hanoi — lively, colorful, and unforgettable. A must-visit area if you want the full cultural experience.

It’s a typical night market like the ones I've seen in Thailand or Vietnam—very lively. They hardly sell any food here (for food, head to the beer street right next to it). You’ll mostly find souvenirs, clothes, shoes, and accessories. *opens on the weekend only

(Translated by Google) The address is a bit difficult to find, the shop owner is enthusiastic, the prices are reasonable, the day I went in there were a few trees (Original) địa chỉ hơi khó tìm, chủ shop nhiệt tình, giá cả hợp lý, hôm mình vào thì hơi ít cây

We enjoyed this place from the outside, around the lake. If you have time, it’s nice to check out the temple from the inside. It’s flocking with tourists. Early hours are the best time to visit to avoid big tour groups. One has to dress appropriately to visit the temple. (Knees and shoulders covered). One of the prominent places in the Hanoi Old Quarter.

Only reason I give 4 stars is this is one of two temples dedicated Confucius and of the two this one is far more crowded with tourists, plus the other temple is nearly 800 years older. This temple was constructed in 1800s while the temple of literature (also a temple dedicated to Confucius) was first built in 1070. If you are short on time and staying in the old quarter this is still a great place to see as it is centrally located and in a beautiful lake setting however if you have more time I recommend going to the temple of literature. You can still get a good view of this temple from the lakeside trail without paying to enter, just somthing to consider! Still very beautiful and spiritual!

Right in the middle of Hoàn Kiếm Lake, surrounded by incense smoke and a peaceful atmosphere. It feels spiritual and calm, especially with the lake reflections and the red bridge leading inside. The story behind the temple and the lake is fascinating: according to legend, a magical turtle gave a sword to a hero to defend the country, and later the sword was returned to the turtle in the lake. The turtle symbolizes wisdom and longevity, which makes it such an important cultural symbol for Vietnam. Inside the temple, there are two preserved giant turtles on display. They’re incredibly rare and sacred, but there’s almost no information about them no details like their names, size, or age. It would’ve been nice to learn more, especially since there are so few of these turtles left in the world. One turtle was very well preserved clean, shiny, and clearly cared for. But the other one sadly had spider webs and dead insects around it. It made me a bit disappointed because it’s such a special part of Vietnamese history, and visitors pay to see it. I think it deserves better maintenance. Still, overall, it’s a beautiful and safe place to visit, even if you’re traveling solo. Worth seeing for the view, the history, and the cultural story just hope they’ll take better care of those legendary turtles.

Our family had the most wonderful discovery right in the middle of Hanoi: the Ngoc Son Temple. This place is truly magical, or as we say, nakakagigil (excitingly captivating)! It feels so mystical and serene as it sits right in the middle of Hoan Kiem Lake. Walking across that gorgeous red bridge (Huc Bridge) to get there was an experience in itself. You immediately feel a profound sense of peace and history once you step inside. What made it extra special for our pamilya was the location. Imagine—it was only a three-minute walk from our hotel in the Old Quarter! We were so lucky to have this mystical spot right on our doorstep. Visiting Ngoc Son Temple was a quiet, spiritual moment amidst the city's hustle. It truly felt like we found a hidden gem at the very heart of Hanoi. A must-see for anyone visiting the city!

A stone tower built at the entrance to the Temple complex. It is inscribed with Chinese characters meaning "to write on the blue sky," symbolizing the importance of knowledge and education. Visitors cross the iconic red, arched wooden bridge, called The Huc Bridge (or "Morning Sunlight Bridge"), to reach the temple grounds. The bridge is a popular spot for photos. The temple houses the remains of a giant turtle that once lived in the lake. This specimen is linked to the legend of King Le Loi, who famously returned a magical sword to a divine turtle in Hoan Kiem Lake. Price for entry is a little steep, especially in comparison to many other temples in Hanoi. Chinese Confucian influence is also apparent, with multiple auspicious exhortations or calls to virtue written around gates and pillars. Note: Since it is a place of worship, visitors should dress respectfully. This includes covering knees and shoulders.

A nice little temple nestled in the middle of the Ho Hoan Kiem lake. If you want to take some time away from the hustling and bustling old quarter, make sure to take a stroll around the lake and have a look at this temple! There is a mini museum in it highlighting the Vietnamese beliefs in the 4 sacred animals (like turtle, phoenix, dragon and qilin). PS. You could get tickets on the day of, need not make advance bookings for it. Enjoy!

The temple is located on an island in the lake, and you can absolutely get a sufficient view of the beautiful outside from the lakeside if you don’t care for the inside. The entry fee is 50 000 VND, and i absolutely feel like i got my moneys worth. The temple itself is quite small, and the inside is nicely decorated but not much crazier than any ordinary temple. What really earns the temple five stars is in my opinion the two preserved specimens of the Hoan Kiem turtles, which i would have paid 50 thousand just to see alone!

This buffet was an absolute great value—for the food, service, and overall environment. Some of my friends had seafood at street restaurants and ended up paying way too much, so I decided to go for a buffet with a fixed price instead. Definitely the right choice! You need to make a reservation through Messenger, and the staff clearly explains the price in advance, which I appreciated. The restaurant looks nice both outside and inside—lots of aunties were taking photos at the front door😄. The food selection was wide and everything I tried was fresh and high quality. I didn’t take many pictures because I was too busy eating. I came here with my mom, and we noticed many local families dining around us, which made us feel like we picked the right spot. We both really enjoyed the meal.

One has to come to this amazing buffet to experience the sheer variety and freshness of the seafood. The selection is quite substantial, from tasty grill seafood to bbq ribs and local cuisines. The interior looks clean and spacious enough. With the sheer number of people in there, it can get a little too noisy. Servers are highly efficient in clearing the dirty plates off the table. Drinks are not included in the buffet, a young, perhaps new server was not aware of it. He told me the coke and bottle water on the table are free, only to find those two items were billed on my way out. That does not diminish my wonderful experience at Maison Sen. Will certainly visit this place for next trip to Hanoi.

One of the best buffets I have had the pleasure of eating at. Focus on fresh seafood which is refilled all night, in most instances straight away, so you are never kept waiting. If booking the evening session, you have the table from open till closing which is a very nice aspect. A must try if in Hanoi. Bookings cancelled be made by calling or through their Facebook page.

If you like seafood, it's absolutely heaven! It's the best place to eat in Hanoi. There are so many stations to choose from! If you can't try all the delicious Hanoi cuisine at once, this buffet is a must! Great value for money!!! Reservations are recommended! :)

I haven't seen so much seafood in my life, the buffet spread is amazing and they tasted great. There's shrimps, different crustaceans and any seafood you can think of. I also looove the clams in coconut sauce . However, they don't provide free drinking water. You have to buy mineral water and softdrinks which costs 29000 vnd each. Service is average, the waiter seeemd to be bad in mood. You can message them in Facebook for a reservation which I highly recommend since this restaurant is very popular. Overall, great food, with no free water and grumpy staff.

very interesting buffet in Hanoi, good selection of varieties and the crabs are pretty nice.

This buffet were lots of food and choices available including many seafood, vegetables and some meat. Both Eastern and Western food. There was a clown performance on the night we went which was great for kids. Birthday songs abd celebrations were popular there. The only thing I disliked was WATER WAS NOT FOR FREE, had to buy water.

Very nice place filled with all kinds of animals. from fish to alligators to turtles to penguins and more, the animals look in good condition, and the staff work hard to keep everything clean. You are not allowed to bring drinks from the outside, but there is a shop inside you can buy at a reasonable price. Overall, it was a very nice aquarium to spend the day with family and friends.

Such a fun place. So many unique fishs and other animals. we fed the turtles 🐢 and the koi fishs and in the end we got free drinks and popcorn for every icecreem we brought, and free small begs for each doll we bough for the kids

That was great experience. There's a lot of fish from different parts of the world 🌎 From big size to little. Also lizards, snakes, crocodiles, turtles , 🐸 and penguins. You can buy a fish food and feed the coi carp. I really enjoyed walking around this aquarium. Definitely recommend .

The place looks pretty old and not much fish to see. In fact it’s a pretty okay aquarium for a shopping mall but I expected more fish to see. Come on weekday, it’s much cheaper.

Really great shopping mall! Has a big game center with bumper cars, mini petting zoo, aquarium, rollerskating rink, and plenty of restaurants! A bit expensive but everything was fun and we came for a second day to escape the heat 🥵

Good place for kids, it has verities of fishes, snake and penguins as well also mermaid show also available

Good experience for kids and Family. It's convenient, coz it's inside the mall

Standing Bar in Hanoi is a fantastic spot for craft beer enthusiasts! Their selection of craft beer deserves a full 5 stars—19 rotating taps featuring an impressive variety of local brews, from seasonal specialties to hard-to-find limited editions. It’s a dream for anyone wanting to explore Vietnam’s growing craft beer scene. The ambiance is cozy yet lively, with the upstairs terrace offering a gorgeous view of Trúc Bạch Lake. It’s a great place to hang out, especially at sunset. The Japanese-inspired standing concept is fun, but don’t worry—there’s plenty of seating if you prefer to relax. The food menu is creative and well-thought-out, with a mix of Vietnamese and international flavors, but I felt it could use a bit more consistency. While the grilled skewers and tapas were delicious, some dishes lacked the boldness of flavor you’d expect for the price. Events like live music and vinyl DJ nights add a unique charm, making it a vibrant hangout spot. The service, while friendly, was a bit slow during peak hours, which slightly impacted the overall experience. Overall, Standing Bar is a must-visit for beer lovers in Hanoi. Just a touch more attention to service and consistency in the food could make it a five-star experience.

Walking past this place to get to another but decided to stop for a craft beer and some food, we had the juicy peach and cheekie Blonde beers, for food we had the craft sausage combo and was so tasty! staff are helpful and attentive, great views of the lake with sunset. Couldn’t ask for more!

🍺 🕺 💃 Good beer, good music, and great views of the lake. They have a great selection of beer, different types and different breweries. I recommend going upstairs in the balcony if the weather permits. They also have a ton of food options to snack on while you drink!

Cool place, good craft beer selection… looks like they host StandUp comedy, I wish I could go see it if in English… fair prices

The best taphouse in town. Squid, Grilled Mushroon and Chicken Satay are “must try”

A really popular pub with cozy vibe. Balcony and front door seats offer nice views of the nearby lake. There was a DJ when we visited but barely anyone dancing, so really it was just for chilling with friends.

Best sunsets of the city and amazing craft beers. Helpful and friendly staff, a 10/10 spot!

The staff is very hospitable and they have all kinds of equipment. Though it is a bit expensive and you can find cheaper places around, feel like the vet gave us advices in order to keep our dog there for longer.

It's lunar new year in Vietnam so everything is exceptionally beautiful. This was one of the areas worth visiting, however, walk or cycle there and to cover the adjacent areas.

Nice vets. They've taken care of my dog on several occasions. Vaccines, wounds, etc. affordable and never a long wait.

Happy pets is caring and honest - and would not exaggerate our dog’s condition to make us worried & pay more like some other clinics in Hanoi- highly recommend. They’ve done a great job treating and taking care of our puppy so far.

Happy Pet is a great vet in Tayho next to the lake. They are a highly skilled team if professionals, and very caring and kind to your fur babies. They have sorted out serious health issues, operated, medicated and nursed my pets back to health. Neither of my pets are in the least afraid to go to Happy Pet for their grooming and booster shots. They even fetch and deliver your pets if needed. I highly recommend them.

Happy Pet are the best. I'll always be grateful to Happy Pet. They rescued my dog Lucky as a puppy from a previous owner who didn't know how to care for an animal. By all accounts, he was more dead than alive but they nursed him back to health. He came to live with us and we always knew that when we were going on holiday he'd be happy to stay with Happy Pet kennels. In between times they gave him hair cuts, sorted out some minor ailments and were generally just fantastic. Six years on, they've helped Lucky move to the UK. We decided that, having relocated to a high rise, it wasn't the best place for a big dog and Hanoi just seems to be getting harder and harder for dogs and owners alike. Plus my Mum and Dad had just lost a much-loved pet. Happy Pet did all the Viet-side arrangements and worked through it with us step by step. They were fantastic. Also, it was very easy for me as we all spoke in English from the outset. Lucky arrived, still smiling, in the UK and is being spoilt by his new carers. Happy Pet are the best. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you all!

Visited few days ago Nice location, very nice monument with great view Should keep the monument and surroundings a bit cleaner

OUR FAVORITE MEAL IN HANOI !!!! We ordered two chicken pho in fish broth (Bun Thang Thuong) and two Mixed phos without broth and with ?dried onions, peanuts, chicken with skin (Pho Tron Thuong). They were soooooooo good and the Mixed phos blew our minds! The staff were so friendly too and used Google translate to explain the items and recommended the Mixed phos. Thank you for the smiles and the best recommendations 😋 we will be back!

Ordered Bun Thang. Super delicious! The broth is uniquely nice with a special fragrance. It has this crunchy vegetable, which I’ve no idea what’s that, that gives a slight sour taste and I love it. Mixed it with cut garlic and chilli and lime (as usual). I added some red chilli sauce as well that we’ll complement the chicken meat that some were too tough for my liking. It’s June and super hot! Otherwise, it’ll be so much more enjoyable with the hot broth. I’ll definitely miss this delicacy and will visit again when I’m back at Hanoi! Continue to provide some good food! 💪🏼💪🏼❤️

Absolutely delicious phở trộn! Their spicy sauce also brings in the perfect heat without overpowering the fresh flavors. The place is clean, cool, and has fast service.

Simple local noodle soup with chicken specialists. The noodle soup tastes delicious. I'd love to come back.

Just as all the other reviews state: it’s awesome! A really fun grab ride to a truly local area. As I was getting off the bike to hand back my helmet the host had already locked eyes with me giving me a huge smile! This welcome means a lot when you are solo travelling 😃. I got the Bun Thang with breast meat. Beautiful flavoursome broth with mushrooms and rice noodles. I added heaps of chilli and pickled garlic. So good! And only 50k. Would definitely go again and maybe try thigh meat next time 😁

I visited here in December. The menu is only in Vietnamese and they don't speak English, but the staff with a nice smile recommended something to me! The shiitake mushroom broth is very tasty!! It was the best thing I had in Hanoi. They should raise the price :) I'll definitely go back when I come back to Hanoi!

Solid bowl of Bun Thang, a northen type of noodle bowl. Ingredients were fresh and the bowl flavorful Price are fair and the shop was clean. You get some extra side dishes like chicken feet which is a nice plus. And it is more comfortable than eating on the streets, so perfect for foreigners

Lovely romantic spot, if you're 2 strange people

Not clean

Just an empty area, nice for walking and have some drinks inside

Ok

Small for jogging or exercising.

Ok

Good

They got upgraded the layout, so it looks better for kids. Pretty large and usually crowded in the weekend. Parents can have comfy seats with free WiFi while kids are playing. They serve fast food inside the place as well, so you can just bring the kids there and... have fun

New and have a lot of toys for kids. But too crowd and not really clean

Dont get me wrong my kid had a blast, but as a parent.. Explore other options.. I care alot about hygiene and cleanliness. Thats the bad side of this place. It has that classic musty smell of 'lightly smells like pee and dirt' that children parks and playground always have when not cleaned well. I was a border line 2 star rater here They have cleaning people, but there is clearly no routine or order to what they do, the slowly walk around with buckets barely doing anything certainly not having children health and welfare in their mind. They wipe down a certain area for maybe 5 minutes, then sort of disappear waiting for their shift to end. (Typical cranky cleaning lady stuff for vietnam but still) We were in the Thomas toy area..big bug crawls out of somewhere and my son calls it out and squishes it Another smaller bug appears 5m later in the same area We go to the water fishing area thats there upon entry, son picks up a toy thing sitting on the edge, 2-3 bugs crawl own from under it. Gross impression now made based on pattern that I see. We go to the playground area, large blue slides have weird brownish-yellow dried up liquid on - all 4 slides - dont know if its pee or snack, but i def did not let me son slide down it The positive side Variety of things to do, better than what alot of Western arcades/indoor playgrounds offer. Playgound is pretty large scale which is a blast because kids Staff is very nice and helpful, the seem like pleasant people and they have good manners Snack bars are good Arcade is good with almost all games working Advice: If your running a playground/arcade for kids, you need to be regularly cleaning on all surfaces kids touch every other day at the absolute minimum - its flu season too for gods sake - and deep cleaning the place every weekend. Kids are super creative regarding how they are able to place germs of a variety of types into small little corners and hard to get to areas, manager needs to match this issues with proper cleaning My kid had a blast but the place is kinda gross

We love TiNI World! 😻😻😻

Great place for the family to visit

Ok, this place very good.

Good place for children

Beautiful park unfortunately ruined by the presence of these random small, depressing, poorly maintained cages with monkeys and peacocks in the park. Animals are clearly anxious as they were pacing endlessly in their enclosures. Not sure what they add as nobody in the park seemed to be paying attention to them.

Beautiful park, I liked the statues and the peace and quiet but I was disappointed with the caged birds and monkeys

I don’t recommend coming here with your dogs. They used to be always dog friendly, but now they tend to be inconsistent with letting dogs in. Annoying when you travel all the way from your house and just be told that you can’t go inside with your dog. They have to be consistent with their rules to avoid the hassle for the dog owners.

I think that Hanoi Botanical Gardens isn't meant to be a tourist attraction. However, we found it to be a pleasant place to wander around in and take a break from touristy places. We chanced upon this place on a Monday afternoon. As a overseas visitor, I enjoyed watching the locals doing their normal activities: playing badminton, jogging, chaptek, football, elderly ladies dancing. As for Pigeon Island - I am impressed at the size of the pigeons. In most cities, city pigeons are scruffy, scrawny and are in a variety of patterns. In this park, they are enormous, and only come in 2 colours - all white and the classic grey with iridescent turquoise streaks around the collar and mantle.

The Botanical Garden in Hanoi could be a beautiful place — though it’s quite poorly maintained. However, two things made this a very negative experience for me: 1. There’s a 2,000 VND entrance fee. While it’s a small amount, it seemed completely arbitrary who was asked to pay and who wasn’t. 2. Most troubling: animals like monkeys and peacocks are kept in very small, dirty cages. They appear scared and depressed, with no shelter or space to retreat. It was heartbreaking to see them in such conditions. No one seemed to care about their wellbeing, and their suffering serves no apparent purpose.

great place for walking, entrance fee 2000VND

Not enjoyable experience seeing animals in cages like this. They have no ‘safe space’ as the cage has 365 degree viewing and is right next to main road.

A very quiet and small garden area. The toilets in here should be avoided since they are not well kept. There are a few animal cages as well. It costs 2,000 dong to enter, possibly for tourists only. This is more of a park rather than a botanical garden. If your aim is to see a variety of plants this may not be what you are after. AI came for birdwatching, which was quite reasonable. I would say that it's not a bad place to go to, but probably not worth going out of your way for.

The park is poorly maintained, with noticeable litter scattered around the grounds. Additionally, there are a few, way too small, animal enclosures where the animals appear to be inadequately cared for. The overall impression is disappointing, and the ticketing staff was noticeably unfriendly. Also, the label “botanical garden” is misleading.

Nice park to visit but the animals in cage are sad to see and do bot look like they are kept in a good condition.

If you want to use this as a shortcut to get to the lake, the yes it is worth to pay 2000 VND to enter to the lady screaming at you that you have to buy tickets. If your plan is just to visit this park with the pond and the closed broken bridge, do not waste your time. It is sad, dirty and not worth your time.

Nothing to see here. They try to charge foreigners for entrance fee when giving me a used ticket. What a scam! Please avoid at all costs! * You can enter via the Bach Thao Cafe (100m from the main entrance) to avoid donating to these thieves

Uninspiring, two ponds, grass, few trees, hardly any flowers in late February. Also, 2,000 VND suddenly became 10,000 VND.

Although it was cheap (2k VND) it's not really a botanical garden and is comparable to an average city park.

our tour to Halong Bay booked over Viator was organized by this travel agency. we were booked to a cruise on a lower standard and a less intimate cruise ship. also the transfers were not on the level offered. we did not get was we booked and what we paid for.

There is a good customer care. And good trustworthy,for next trip will be back to service again.

Really nice staff and perfectly organised tours. I really recommend this tourist office!

Really kind staff.. great deals. Went above and beyond

Best cocktail I’ve ever had. Candle light at night, super nice vibe.

this place made a hard day’s night much more than a song title by the beatles. rather, it is an encounter i’m always grateful for. a fragment of memory i’ll always remember. a comfort space for bits of sadness. an endearing repository for untold stories. never before had i imagined i could cherish a corner of hanoi’s old quarter so much. so much that i came here every night in my trip, forgetting about all the other cafes and bars on my list. so much that i almost couldn’t say goodbye. because everything here is too precious to be true. everyone who comes here will have a different personal experience, but i bet anyone would fall in love with this place, just as deeply like i did. decoration: i want to frame everything, literally. they have a projector for film nights, lots of candles, the beatles albums and cds, a cute bookshelf at the back. atmosphere: really cozy and intimate for convos. even when the place is packed, it remains quiet. the exact feeling of “tranquil”. customer service: nowhere else does it better. i came here alone everytime, but i never felt lonely. all of the bartenders are so so so nice and kind. they will treat you like a friend visiting, rather than a customer. they always cater for your appetite, willingly listen to your stories, and cheer you up with cute surprises. drinks: top-tier, as they have homemade specialties. one time, i tried vodka brewed with strawberry tea and it’s really refreshing. it also has a sweet aftertaste. the labtory craft beers here are also worth a try, especially in the summer. they also serve coffees and non-alcoholic drinks in the morning.

Nice vibes, nice drinks, good music and even better staff

Great drinks and nice vibe 👍

We enjoyed our time in Ba Vi National Park . We hired a tour guide but that wasn’t necessary. You just need a way to get there. We just did the walks with the stairs (about 1200 on one side and about 650 on the other) so you can definitely get a great work out. There are several temples along the way up that are active. It’s so impressive how many people walk up to make offerings and pray.

Nice park for a weekend wander and some ok trail running - best run is still up the main road to the french runs and the mountain temple. The park is still wild in some places - nice to be in nature and close to the city.

Excellent day hike approximately 65 km from French Quarter in Hanoi. I enjoyed the clean air on a foggy morning. There were very few people and vehicles as I walked up the road and then took the trails to the old prison and the church ruins. It is a rain forest in parts... could hear the rain falling in the deep forest- but it was not raining on me - very peaceful. It was a slippery day and I was happy I brought some hiking sticks... definitely worth the trip 👌

Ba Vì National Park is an ideal destination for nature lovers and explorers. It offers a refreshing green space, fresh air, and a diverse ecosystem. Visitors can explore notable sites such as Thượng Temple, the Ancient Church, or conquer the Tản Viên Peak. Especially in late autumn, the blooming wild sunflowers make the landscape even more vibrant. However, the entrance fee does not quite match the deteriorating road conditions, as some areas have landslides and large sinkholes. Additionally, the shops around the area have very high prices, so visitors should prepare their supplies in advance to avoid buying them on-site.

It's national park in the mountain. There is the gate and ticket counter in the beginning. They charge 60K for entrance, and 10K for parking? at 1100m points? Anyway on the way of heading to the 1100m point, there are some view points. It's high enough to see all landview from the mountain. It's worth to come here even just driving. Anyway please be carefull. It was very cold on the top of the mountain. You should bring your jacket here. I visited May 2025. It was cold on top. By the way, there is a shop at the 1100m point, so good to have Hao Hao noodle there Lol.

The road access to the National Park is under construction, but if you go at lunchtime, when all the workers are eating or sleeping, there will be no delays. Beautiful place, I went there to get off the beaten track and not have to hear motorcycles and cars driving and Honking. ( it’s about an hour away from Hanoi. )

We had up-and-down emotion to get to the Bavi National Park and I will summarize as belows: - Up to the elevation 400m, road is terrible due to road maintenance. We had to wait for 10 min for a concrete truck to work across the road. It is so crowded and dusty without any warning in the beginning of the road. - From elevation 400m to 700m, a quite good road to go will full of plants around. - From elevation 700m to 1100m, a high slope can make your brake broken down when going down. Be careful with this popular problem there. We also made that similar difficulty and a little bit scary to go down. On the cote 1100, it is so special to see the fog and clouds going around. A good moment to enjoy the travel. Note that you will buy a ticket at the foot of the park, vnd 60k per person excluded your vehicle fee. Lưu ý rất dễ mất phanh khi đi xuống từ cao độ 1100m đến 700m vì đường rất dốc. Nên chuẩn bị sẵn số điện thoại trong trường hợp cần cứu hộ xe.

Quiet. Pleasant. Best on cool days (little shade). Very few people there on a Sunday. A pleasant break from city bustle and pace.

Nice Park with a big lake. Very nice for a walk or for playing basketball. People fly kites and little kids drive around in remote controlled cars. There's also a cafe with a nice terrasse.

At 5-6 AM and 17-21 PM overcrowded. Anyway it is great place for running, skating, in-lines, basketball... Only more playgrounds for children is needed.

Perfect place for walking and jogging. Many people with children. Organised WC and trashbins. There is a fountain.

Spacious, close to bus stops, can go there to pass time while waiting for buses

Massive park in the middle of nowhere. Quite beautiful and definitely worth a walk around on a weekend or day off. Hardly anyone there so not sure of the point. There's a small kids entertainment area and paddle boats.

Nice place to relax. Better come at night during the summer, if you want to walk around it. There is a bar for drinks and snacks, street food nearby. Just come and enjoy.

🚨RAINBOW SLIDE CURRENTLY CLOSED🚨(Saturday 5th July 2025) Only writing this review for other people heading out here to go to the rainbow slide - due to the storm the slide has flooded and will take a few days to drain. There is a lot of water so I’d try call before you come to see if it’s cleared! We got let in for free because of the flood but there isn’t much to do here at the moment and flowers have also died as they are swamped in water!

We tried the Rainbow Slide at Bãi Đá Sông and it was such a fun experience that we went on it twice in the same day! The ride is colorful, exciting, and gives you that rush of adrenaline while still being safe and well-managed. Sliding down with the beautiful view around made it even more enjoyable. A simple but super fun activity worth trying if you’re in the area.

Beautiful place to visit with family and friends . You will options of ride fun picnic nature beauty water side a perfect relaxation fun and enjoyment outing . You can also meet with different kind of animals and birds out here which will be a soothing time pass for kids and adults . Adults can enjoy rides too with their kids . You have water front where you can sit and enjoy with your loved ones . Get your own stuff and you have the option to cook and vibe with all your family and friends . Must visit place . Entry ticket is separate and tickets for ride are separate . You also have cafe inside the park to enjoy food

The area is currently flooded and is closed for a month (18 October 2025 to around late November 2025) The entire place looks dilapidated and there was nothing there other than a piece of paper saying the area is closed. There is nothing else to do and the locale is out of the city so we were forced to take a taxi back to the city again after essentially doing nothing. The flower garden looks a lot smaller than pictures led us to believe and was underwhelming.

So fun! I visited for the rainbow slide but tried so many other things. Theres go karting, an arcade, a farm, camping, cafes, a costume rental place, an ancient village, a field of flowers and so much more. Entrance was 70k. I loved feeding the sheep and goats, and I got to pet this little brown one. It was 10k for the carrots to feed them. There was a little dog cage thing which I'm not sure if theyre the staffs dogs or an exhibit but they were really cute. Would visit again!

We visited this place after our Hagiang Loop trip! It’s located close to Tay Ho area and it feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere, the complex is quite big. It seems like we got the impression this place are still on ongoing development, as there are quite a few constructions going. Surprisingly, they have some animals farm inside too which I hope they really take care of the animals well. Of course we had to try their rainbow slide and it was amazing, the drop will surprise you a bit for sure but it was so much fun! We got to try their mini karting as well, it was only 2 of us and they let us play for as long as we can. I believe this place could develop into bigger and better if they could manage well!

Pretty far from city center and doesn’t justify the drive there. Pretty much nothing to do and we were the only ones there. Feels abandoned and a bit neglected. The colorful slide was fun though

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. What a horrible place to go. So much potential completely without management. I went there with my son and left at lunch time because there was nothing to do. Everything was closed, and I mean EVERYTHING!!! We just walked around looking at closed activities and left. Even the restaurants were closed. It was like ghost town. Some rides were open but they require customers to pay extra. So you pay to enter and then pay foe everything you do. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because my son enjoyed the aquarium and dinosaur area. There was a nice Cafe in the dinosaur area that we would have liked to relax at. But it, like everything else was closed. I added pictures of the closed cafe and closed lunch area. I want my money and time back!!!

It feels very run down and poorly maintained. Glass walls where animals are kept are really dirty. Still worth a visit if you have nowhere else to go. Highlights are VR area (extra 50k), feed the elephant and giraffe. Staff are friendly. The entry fee is a bit on the high side.

We actually really enjoyed it, a lot to see. The Moana show was amazing, the aquarium very basic and small, but nice for the young children, the waterpuppet show was cute, my daughter loved it. the ghost house was super funny. The thing is that if you go with your child to the park, you should go there when your child is tall enough to really experience everything. To be honest, I would have rated it between 4 and a 5 stars, but the moment I went to the Safari area, I couldn't go on the boat, first of all, my daughter is too short😅😅😅, then walking through it all and seeing the animals, you can only really see them from the top, not close enough like in the boat. A lot of the animals were locked up. Also, Rhinos and elephants were really a sad thing to see. I come from Africa, so these animals shouldn't live on concrete, also the rhinos are bleeding because of all the flies eating their skin, that means they are not clean. The elephants are chaned upin a small area. They do not look happy at all. The monkey cages are super dirty and stinky, not only inside the cages, but outside too, because of people not knowing where to throw their trash.

There're some wild animals, where you can see giraffes, tigers, and rhinos in the park. However, the water in the water park and amusement rides is not very clean, and the hygiene situation is quite unsatisfactory.

-The animals of all kinds are neglected and look depressed it disheartens me to see these lives kept in this sort of environment. -No matter your opinion of zoos and animals in captivity argument these creatures do not look okay there cramped and not kept it’s normal surroundings -the water part was in bad condition the colour of it was green and looks like it’s never been taken cared of bad habitat for the fishes and overall horrific -It is the park’s responsibility to maintain the balance between entertainment and animals healthcare when I went there was kids and adults banging on the glass with the animals inside and overall rude -As for the structure, the state is rather big yet doesn’t look like it has been cared for it’s dirty it’s uncared for and overall hard to look at it’s awful to see them put a ride next to safari animals expecting them to deal with that kind of noise - the only kind of aspect keeping this place at a 2 is the entertainment it’s sort of underwhelming however good and the sort of the entertainment part through my experience it was bad weather and raining heavily - point is help this place but otherwise don’t go

With very affordable price for one turn of visiting and getting experienced all games in this entertaining complex (about 300 thousands Dong/person), you can chill out yourself in a full day. There are available restaurants serving all foods which you could fill up your empty stomach after a long hours!

Bad place. Not recommended. The place is too crowded, you need to wait in line from 30 mins to 1 hour (under the hot weather) to join any activities. The service quality is really bad and also construction zones are everywhere.
