Family-Friendly Activities in Vietnam
From outdoor adventures to cultural discoveries, every region of Vietnam is full of unique experiences that will delight both children and adults. Whether it’s kayaking in Lan Ha Bay, making lanterns in Hoi An, or marveling at a traditional water puppet show, the possibilities are endless.
For thrill-seekers, attractions such as Sun World Ba Na Hills or alpine coaster rides in Da Lat are sure to excite the kids. For those in search of mystery and adventure, exploring the “Dark Cave” in Phong Nha or wandering through the fascinating Crazy House in Da Lat will be unforgettable moments.
History enthusiasts will enjoy iconic sites such as the Cu Chi Tunnels, while more relaxed activities, like a cable car ride in Phu Quoc or an excursion to the sand dunes of Mui Ne, will give the whole family a chance to recharge in style.
Below you’ll find details of these activities.
Kayaking in Lan Ha bay
For your Halong Bay cruise, we recommend the Lan Ha area around Cat Ba Island. Here, you can stay on the island and take either a one-day or two-day cruise in this peaceful bay, far from the crowds and large tourist boats.
One of the favorite activities in the bay is, of course, kayaking. It’s the perfect way to truly appreciate the vast and stunning natural scenery all around you. And if you’re lucky, your children might even spot some monkeys during the excursion.
Make lantern in Hoi An
Hoi An is famous, among many other things, for its colorful lanterns. And the good news is that you can actually make your own while you’re there! Lantern-making workshops are held regularly, and you can even drop in spontaneously without advance booking.
During the workshop, you’ll choose a frame and fabric, then assemble your lantern step by step under the guidance of local artisans. It’s a fun, hands-on experience that allows you to learn more about one of Hoi An’s most iconic traditions. Children especially enjoy the creative aspect — picking colors, patterns, and seeing their lantern take shape. At the end, you can bring your handmade lantern home as a unique souvenir and a reminder of your time in Vietnam.
Water puppet show
The traditional water puppet show is a must-see for families traveling in Vietnam. Although performed entirely in Vietnamese, the stories are easy to follow — whether told as a full-length play or through a series of shorter sketches. The puppeteers stand behind the stage while an orchestra provides live music, sometimes calling out cheerfully to the puppets in the water, which represents a rice field — a tradition dating back to the 11th century.
The humor and magic of the performance are contagious, making it especially captivating for children. The show lasts about an hour, which is just the right amount of time to keep kids engaged (and sitting in the theater is also a welcome break during a busy day of sightseeing in the city!). For more details: where to see water puppet shows.
Enjoy a Lune Production Performance
If traditional performances aren’t your thing, we recommend attending one of the shows by Lune Production. Blending circus, theater, and musical performance, these dazzling productions are truly spectacular! The shows are staged in Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City, and tickets can be booked online.
Keep in mind that prices start at around 30 euros per person, but we can assure you — it’s well worth it! At the end of the show, you’ll even have the chance to take photos with the performers, making it a memory to treasure.
Visit Sun World Ba Na Hills Theme Park
Enjoy Outdoor Activities at Phong Nha’s Dark Cave
Phong Nha–Ke Bang National Park will surely be a magical and adventurous experience for your children. We recommend three caves to visit: Phong Nha Cave, explored by boat; Paradise Cave, incredibly beautiful and visited on foot; and the so-called “Dark Cave,” which features a range of exciting outdoor activities.
You’ll first try the longest zipline in Vietnam — 400 meters! Afterward, you’ll swim to the cave’s entrance. As its name suggests, this cave, about 100 meters long, is completely dark. Your guide will lead you inside, and at the end, you’ll find a surprise: natural mud baths to enjoy before heading back out for a kayaking adventure.
The Dark Cave is an ideal experience for families traveling with teenagers, combining adventure, fun, and unique memories.
Visit Crazy House in Dalat
Kids love strange and wonderful places, which is why the Crazy House in Da Lat, Vietnam, is sure to fascinate them! Designed by Vietnamese architect Đặng Việt Nga, the Crazy House began as a café and is now both a public museum and a fully functioning guesthouse. After a short introduction from a friendly guide, you can lead the children through this bizarre complex — imagine winding staircases, fantastical turrets, quirky walkways, and everything in between.
The property is filled with oddly shaped buildings, artistic installations, and bright, vibrant colors — little ones won’t know where to look first! And if they need a break, there’s a quirky café on-site where they can enjoy a refreshing drink, or take their ice cream into the central gardens to relax.
A word of caution: some of the higher staircases don’t have very tall railings, so children should always be closely supervised.
Ride the Alpine Coaster in Da Lat
Let’s stay in Da Lat to try the Datanla New Alpine Coaster, a unique alpine attraction that lets you enjoy the beauty of the region at your own pace.
Located near the Datanla Waterfalls, this alpine coaster offers visitors a thrilling ride down the longest track in Asia, stretching 2,400 meters. The two-seater cars are equipped with a magnetic braking system that not only maintains a safe distance between them but also allows you to control the speed of your own descent.
Let gravity do the work as you glide down a multi-level track through a vibrant pine forest with views of the waterfall. An eco-friendly and exhilarating adventure that will delight both children and adults alike!
Take the Phu Quoc Cable Car
Phu Quoc cable car is one of the most impressive and memorable activities you can experience in Vietnam.
Stretching nearly 8 km, it is currently the longest over-sea cable car in the world. The journey takes about 15 minutes, which means a full quarter of an hour suspended in the sky inside a glass cabin, gazing down at turquoise waters and hundreds of fishing boats that look like colorful paper toys scattered across the sea.
At the end of the ride, you’ll arrive at the white sandy beach of Hon Thom Island, where you can relax or enjoy the fun playground area located there.
