Dam Sen Water Park — Attraction in Ho Chi Minh City

My recent visit to Dam Sen Water Park was a delightful experience overall, marked by a clean environment, professional staff, and enjoyable rides. However, there were some concerns, particularly regarding the counter at the entrance, which marred an otherwise fantastic day.

Cleanliness and Professionalism: The water park boasts a commendable level of cleanliness and maintenance. The staff members are highly professional, courteous, and attentive, ensuring a pleasant and safe environment for all visitors. The rides are well-maintained, and the water quality is pristine, contributing to an enjoyable experience.

Value and Attractions: The variety of rides offered at Dam Sen Water Park is commendable, providing a good mix of thrills and relaxation. The presence of adequate safety guards ensures a sense of security, allowing visitors to enjoy the attractions with peace of mind. While it might not be the largest water park, it offers a welcomed escape from the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City.

Concerns at the Entrance Counter: However, a major downside surfaced at the entrance counter, where phone covers and floats are sold. The exorbitant pricing of $20 for a phone cover, coupled with the staff's attempt to push unnecessary purchases by stating that each cover accommodates only one phone, appears exploitative, especially towards foreigners. This practice of trying to extract more money from visitors by enforcing unnecessary purchases significantly detracted from an otherwise enjoyable experience.

Final Thoughts: Despite the regrettable encounter at the entrance counter, Dam Sen Water Park remains a decent option for a day of relaxation and fun in Ho Chi Minh City. The park's cleanliness, well-maintained rides, and attentive staff contribute to an overall positive experience. However, potential visitors should be cautious and aware of possible tactics aimed at extracting additional money.

In summary, Dam Sen Water Park offers an enjoyable getaway from the city's hustle and bustle, featuring well-maintained rides and a clean environment. Nonetheless, the exploitative practices at the entrance counter regarding the sale of phone covers and floats merit attention and consideration before...

The park has a number of features unique in Vietnam: its 2 km monorail, affording views from five meters above the ground; adventure boats that cross the waterfall; and the unusual "Roman" square, featuring European flowers including roses, classical Roman-style stone pillars, statues, and a musical water show with 3,000 seats. This water display, located just behind the European flower garden, was built in 2005 at a cost of 12 billion dong and placed behind the Europe flower garden. It features a musical performance on a specially designed stage featuring water sprays and laser lights, with films projected onto a 28-meter-high screen of water. The technique was based on a similar display in Sentosa...

Came on Monday 12pm, the lines for the slides are pretty empty but everything else was SUPER crowded and swarming with children from the lazy river, pools, hot tub. I think 3pm would have been a better time to arrive.

All the slides at the giant tower were super scary and heart wrenching (kamikaze, green/yellow twister,) and they were also alittle bumpy so not something I wanted to go on again, besides the red Tornado which had a good level of fun swirl turns. Space bowl has a very big drop which makes it frightenining as well but not too bad. The other slides were were more fun than scary such as Love Storm and the 2 seater ones. Unfortunately wasnt able to try the boomerang as it requires a 3rd person

Wave Pool had no indication on when the next wave is going to happen and theres a big lack of floaties so you have to get lucky to grab one if someone happens to ditch theirs near you: Not great, add triple the amount of float rings to lazy river and wave pool.

PROS The outside place is maintained and cleaned Good security on keeping the bag safe as u have to repeat your phone number back to them to get it back Pool had a good amount room to swim around, only place to hang that wasnt crowded CONS Locker line waiting time was long as someone infront had 6 bags to check in, so i moved lines 2 slides were out of order Difficulty navigating, not enough maps...
