Little One's Awesome Adventure at Cu Chi Tunnels! 🗺️
Guess what? Our little explorer conquered the Cu Chi Tunnels! Every tunnel was a new adventure, and she insisted on crawling through them all!
Planning Your Cu Chi Tunnels Trip: Essential Info!
- We explored the Ben Duoc Tunnels. Haven't made it to Ben Dinh yet!
- Ticket Options:
- Tunnels Area: 35k VND
- Re-enactment Area: 85k VND
- Pro Tip: Both areas have tunnels to explore! The Re-enactment area features a fascinating 3D movie about Operation Cedar Falls and provides insights into the lives of Cu Chi revolutionary soldiers. The audio guide that automatically plays as you approach exhibits is also a plus. While a guide accompanies each group, they primarily lead the way. For a more immersive experience, I highly recommend the combo ticket (120k VND per adult). Lu-i, being 6, got in free!
- Time Commitment: We arrived at 10 AM and didn't leave until 2 PM! Our little one wanted to explore every tunnel, check out the war machines, and pose for photos. So factor that into your planning.
- Tunnel Tips: I was a bit apprehensive about the tunnels, but they're surprisingly manageable, even for kids! They've been modified for tourists, so you only need to bend over. Plus, there are small lights inside so you can see where you're going.
- Hydration is Key: The tickets are cheap, but we spent a fortune on drinks! We bought water three times. Prices inside are typical tourist spot prices, so consider bringing your own to save some cash. And maybe a treat or two.
- Beat the Heat: Seriously, pack a fan and a hat! The sun is intense. We each had our own fan. Wear light, comfortable clothing and walking shoes. You'll be doing a lot of walking.
