Which are worth a day, and which are a stop between other things

Vietnam's water parks range from a city park in Ho Chi Minh City to the island resorts of Phu Quoc and Nha Trang. Here is what each one has, and whether it is worth building a day around.

Here is the list of 5 Water Parks in Vietnam

1. VinWonders Phu Quoc, Phu Quoc

VinWonders Phu Quoc, Phu Quoc
4.6 /5

The largest water park in the country, on the north of Phu Quoc island, and by its own operator's account the largest in Southeast Asia. A wave pool, a river ride and a bank of slides sit inside a much bigger theme park with six themed zones and an aquarium, all on one ticket. This is the one here you would build a whole day around rather than fit between other stops. Weekdays are noticeably quieter.

2. Dam Sen Water Park, Ho-chi-minh-city

Dam Sen Water Park, Ho-chi-minh-city
3.6 /5

Ho Chi Minh City's own water park, in District 11 beside the older Dam Sen cultural park, and the easiest escape from the city heat without leaving town. Three hectares of slides, a wave pool, a lazy river and a large children's area, packed at weekends and near-empty on weekday mornings. It is a city park rather than a resort, so treat it as a half-day between other things rather than a destination in itself.

3. Ho Tay Water Park, Hanoi

Ho Tay Water Park, Hanoi
3.9 /5

Hanoi's water park, on the shore of West Lake inside the wider Ho Tay complex, and the only sizeable one in the capital. High-speed slides and a diving pool sit next to a wave pool and a lazy river. It runs seasonally rather than year-round, because Hanoi winters are genuinely cold, so check that it is open before making the trip out.

4. Suoi Tien Theme Park, Ho-chi-minh-city

Suoi Tien Theme Park, Ho-chi-minh-city
4.0 /5

Better known as Vietnam's Buddhist theme park, out in the eastern districts of Ho Chi Minh City, and easily the strangest day out on this list. Dragons, temple facades and a walk-through of the Buddhist hells sit alongside a real water park with slides, a wave pool and an artificial beach. Come for the oddity as much as the water, because nothing else in the country looks remotely like it.

5. Sun World Ha Long Water Park, Ha Long

Sun World Ha Long Water Park, Ha Long
4.4 /5

The water park sits inside the Sun World complex on the hillside above Ha Long Bay, alongside the cable car and the Sun Wheel that most visitors actually come for. Slides, a wave pool and a lazy river, with the bay in view from the top of the hill. Worth adding to a Ha Long day when it is hot, but it is not the reason to go to Ha Long.

Most of these sit inside larger parks, so it is worth knowing what else is on the ticket. Things to do in Vietnam puts them in context, beaches in Vietnam covers the free alternative on the same coast, and Vietnam with kids is the place to start if you are travelling as a family.

FAQs on Water Parks in Vietnam

Which is the biggest water park in Vietnam?

VinWonders Phu Quoc, on the north of the island. Its operator describes it as the largest in Southeast Asia. Dam Sen in Ho Chi Minh City is the biggest city water park, but at three hectares it is a different scale entirely.

Which water park is in Ho Chi Minh City?

Dam Sen Water Park in District 11 is the main one and the easiest to reach. Suoi Tien, out in the eastern districts, also has a water park, though most people go for the Buddhist theme park around it.

Is Vinpearl Water Park at Royal City in Hanoi still open?

No, it has closed. Ho Tay Water Park on West Lake is now the only sizeable water park in the capital.

Is Ho Tay Water Park open all year?

No. It runs seasonally, through the warm months, because Hanoi winters are cold. Check that it is open before making the trip out to West Lake.

Which of these suit young children?

Dam Sen has a large dedicated children's area, and VinWonders Phu Quoc has shallow zones alongside the bigger rides. Suoi Tien is more novelty than swimming, so it suits older children who will enjoy the theming.

Is the water park a separate ticket?

Usually not. At Sun World Ha Long and VinWonders Phu Quoc the water park sits inside a larger complex and is normally covered by the main ticket, but check what a given ticket includes before you buy it.
