About

Công viên nước Con Nít Thủ Đức is a local water park offering authentic Vietnamese family fun away from the typical tourist trail.

This neighborhood gem gives traveling families a chance to mingle with local Vietnamese families while kids enjoy cooling water play.

  • Shallow children's pools perfect for toddlers and non-swimmers
  • Interactive water features and spray zones for active play
  • Authentic local atmosphere providing cultural immersion for international visitors
  • Shaded rest areas for parents to relax while supervising kids

Pro Tips

  1. 1.Note the unusual schedule: only open Saturday and Sunday (8:30 AM to 6:00 PM), so plan accordingly as most water parks operate more days.
  2. 2.Bring your own towels and waterproof bags as rental options may be limited. Waterproof phone cases are essential for photos.
  3. 3.Arrive early (right at 8:30 AM) on weekends to beat crowds, as this is a popular spot for local families.
  4. 4.Having a Vietnamese speaker or translation app helps, as English signage and staff may be limited at this local park.
  5. 5.Pack reef shoes or water shoes as pool surfaces can get hot under the tropical sun, and they provide better grip on wet surfaces.

Best Time to Visit

Visit on Saturday mornings right when they open at 8:30 AM for the smallest crowds and cooler temperatures. Avoid Sunday afternoons when local families pack the park. The dry season (December to April) offers the most comfortable weather, though the park is refreshing year-round in Ho Chi Minh City's heat.

What to Know

With only weekend hours (Saturday and Sunday), plan your visit carefully. The price point is budget-friendly ($$), making it an affordable family outing. Food options may be limited to basic snacks, so consider eating before or after your visit.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round on weekends only due to Ho Chi Minh City's consistently warm climate. Vietnamese holidays and school breaks (especially Tet holiday in late January/February) may see extra large crowds. The rainy season (May to November) can bring afternoon showers, but the park remains open and is still enjoyable.

Nearby Eats

After your visit, head to nearby Tam Binh Market area for authentic local Vietnamese food including pho, banh mi, and fresh fruit smoothies that kids will enjoy. For a more familiar option, there are several family-friendly Vietnamese restaurants along nearby Highway 1K serving com tam (broken rice) and other mild dishes suitable for children.
