What to explore at Suoi Tien Theme Park?

A true amusement park

As an amusement park, Suoi Tien offers numerous kinds of game, from scary, thrilling to adventurous ones such as: Mystery of the Forest, 4D Theatre, Roller Coaster and Air Bycicle. No one would be disappointed when come to this recreational area, especially children, as there’s a specific area called The Children Kingdom. This place has a lot of funny and attractive games from superman electric car, children train to ball house.

Once inside, the depictions related to Buddhism don’t stop. Immediately upon entering the park you’re greeted by a 20-metre long dragon and at almost every corner you turn you will see another giant monument.The most popular spot is probably the water park, which unlike Sen Water Park in the city is particularly kid friendly — and in fact mostly kid oriented. A large water park play area is for kids as well as a few tame water slides, at least compared to others in Vietnam, at the sides and rear of the water area. The whole area is decorated as a large mountain, complete with a giant face carved into the side.

There are also rides and games in the park. A new feature is a paintball area, where 100,000 VND gives you an hour-long paintball extravaganza complete with gear, guns and paint. If you’re scared to paintball, or you don’t want to get dirty, there is a laser tag area. Most of the rides are geared toward kids — they’re mostly smaller rides — except for a very large ferris wheel and roller coaster, but even the bigger rides aren’t particularly fast or scary.

At the back of the park things have more of an animal theme. A crocodile farm is supposedly home to almost 1,500 of the reptiles. You can not only look at and feed the crocs but, um, also buy a baby crocodile from their farm to start your own crocodile farm back home.

A dolphin and sea lion show is held every couple of hours — it was actually surprisingly okay. The animals seemed to be well kept and they performed some incredible feats, like jumping through a hoop of fire and hitting balls into the crowd with their tails.
