The Dam Sen By Night program has officially opened its doors for free since August, offering a vibrant nightlife experience featuring spectacular circus acts, a friendly mini-zoo, and plenty of engaging family activities for the weekend.
Looking for a fun, budget-friendly weekend spot for the family? You shouldn’t miss out on Dam Sen By Night, which has been creating quite a buzz on social media lately. [According to local travel studies 2024], nighttime entertainment at major parks is drawing huge crowds thanks to fresh, interactive experiences.
Getting There and Parking Tips
To make the most of your evening, it’s best to know the ropes. You can park your bike right at the Thuy Ta restaurant entrance. As soon as you arrive, you’ll be greeted by Labubu characters and "Bé Sen" mascots handing out colourful balloons—perfect for some cute photos!
- Walking route: From Thuy Ta restaurant, head straight and take a left for about 50m, and you’ll reach the Kids' Zone.
- Atmosphere: It’s pretty breezy at night, but since it gets quite crowded during showtimes, it can get a little stuffy. Better to bring along a portable fan and some water for the little ones!
Explore the Charming Mini-Zoo
Once you step into the kids' area, your little ones will be thrilled to see a whole range of adorable animals like horses, wild boars, dogs, goats, sheep, and birds. They won't just get to see them up close—they can also feed the animals and take some memorable snaps.
Horseback riding and photo ops are available for a very wallet-friendly price of just 20,000 VND per turn. It’s a fantastic opportunity for children to build confidence and learn to love animals.
Enjoy Spectacular Circus Performances for Free
The highlight of Dam Sen By Night is definitely the impressive circus show that kicks off at 7:00 PM every night:
- Artistic Juggling: Skilled performers juggling balls, rings, hats, and even flaming torches.
- Snake Act: A heart-pounding performance! Brave kids can even head on stage to have a python draped around their necks under professional supervision.
- Balance Acts: Artists showing off incredible skills on high poles.
- Animal Circus: Always a hit that keeps the kids glued to their seats.
Even though the show is totally free, the quality is top-notch, professional, and genuinely entertaining [Source: Community Reviews 2024]. After the circus, there’s usually a fun bingo game (lô tô) to wrap up the night for the whole family.
Other Paid Entertainment Worth Checking Out
Besides the free activities, there are plenty of fun rides and games, usually costing around 30,000 VND each:
- Active play: Jumping frogs, airplane rides, merry-go-rounds, and miniature trains.
- Experience: Fish catching and fish massages.
- Must-tries: Bumper cars and the monorail that loops around Dam Sen (definitely worth a go).
Plus, there’s a massive indoor playground with super affordable ticket prices: 50,000 VND for two people or 80,000 VND for three. It’s the perfect place to hang out once the circus performances wrap up.
