The Vinpearl Amusement Park

Disneyland In Southeast Asia

If you live in Southeast Asia, and you would like to take the kids to Disneyland, you might have been thinking that would need to go all the way to Hong Kong. The Disneyland amusement park opened in Hong Kong back in 2005, and has hosted over 25 million visitors over the past 6 years. Residents and visitors of Southeast Asia might be interested to know that there is another more affordable option a little closer to home. It isn't quite Disneyland, however it might just be the next best thing, and your children are likely to have just as much fun.

The Vinpearl Amusement Park is located just off the coast of Nha Trang Beach in Southern Vietnam, on a small Island that is also home to the Vinpearl Resort. The only access to the amusement park is provided by the world's largest cable car over water that ferries passengers to and from the island to the mainland. The cost of a admission is roughly 16USD per person for the entire day, that includes the ride on the cable car that is over 60 meters above the bay at the highest point, as well as access to the water park, the aquarium, and all the rides. There are roller coasters, bumper cars and all the other traditional carnival attractions.

There water park is world class, with an artificial wave pool as well as several breathtaking water slides, many of which prove to be far too thrilling for the faint of heart. There is a canal that flows around the perimeter of the entire park, they call it the lazy river. When you grow tired of riding the water slides and playing in the wave pool, you might want to relax and ride down the lazy river on an air mattress.

There is also an aquarium with a variety of local marine life on display, such as giant Mekong catfish, seahorses, water snakes and sea turtles. The aquarium has a tunnel that offers visitors the chance to walk along the bottom of the main tank, providing a view of the ocean life above and on either side of the glass walls of the tunnel. This impressive display showcases many different creatures that most visitors likely have never seen, and probably didn't even know existed.

Overall the Vinpearl Amusement Park is a great place to enjoy a fun holiday with the family, and the low cost makes it a lot more affordable than a trip to Disneyland in Hong Kong. Getting to Nha Trang from Thailand is relatively easy, with plenty of flights on low budget airlines that have service between Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City, then a short domestic flight from there to Nha Trang. You will also have to keep in mind that most foreigners will require a visa prior to making a trip to Vietnam, however it is easy enough to make these arrangements online.
