Ho May Park – Vung Tau

A stop to Vung Tau isn’t complete without a visit to Ho May Park, an amusement park that’s guaranteed to be one of the most unique ones you’ll see in your life. There won’t be a lack of things to see, do, and experience with several different areas to explore.

The park is set on top of Nui Lon’s peak and spreads over 100 hectares/247 acres of land, offering some fantastic panoramic views of the city of Vung Tau and the ocean. With so much diversity in activities at Ho May Park, there’s something for everyone to do.

Attraction Rides

An amusement park wouldn’t be complete without rides and games, and Ho May Park is no different. The outdoor section for this type of entertainment includes a zipline, alpine coaster, quick jump, drift king, ultimate slide, bumper cars, and high-flying swings. There’s also an indoor area with about 70 arcade-style games to choose from. Smaller children will enjoy the playground at the complex.

Waterpark

One of the main features of the Ho May Park is its waterpark, the first of its kind on a mountain top in Vietnam. It’s equipped with lots of slides and a kid’s play area. There are also shallow waters for wading and cooling off under the hot sun.

Cable Car Ride

To get to the park, visitors take the cable car to the top of the peak, where most of the attractions are. If you’re going to Ho May Park during the offseason, it’s still a nice ride with great views of the area from high above.

Cultural & Historical Sites

Despite all of the modern attractions, Ho May Park has many historic structures. Old French bunkers, the Nui Lon fortress, and the Ho May Temple are just a few venues to stop at to learn some Vietnamese culture. There’s also a Buddhism statue complex with the largest statue of Maitreya in Ba Ria and other sites with education on the Buddhist religion.

Ho May Grand Show

This theater’s five thousand seats and 2,500-inch outdoor screen bring the Ho May Grand Show to life with whimsical effects using water, lights, and music. This one-of-a-kind 5D experience is a captivating event that incorporates lasers and sounds to turn this nightly event into a memorable one.
