Traveler reviews
Oliver Young
★★★★★6 months agoVery good waterpark. I didn’t manage to take many photos but the slides were awesome and there were other activities like the flying fox over the pool. Coming in I was a little skeptical as there weren’t any photos online and arriving at the gates it looked a little abandoned and not many people. However, as the day went on, more people came through. There are 36 rides in total and they are all really good. It was great that there weren’t that many people like in Bali because it meant no wait times for anything. Would definitely recommend

★★★★★a year agoWe had a great time at Đầm Sen Water Park! The place is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of shaded areas to relax. The food court was convenient, and there were tables and chairs available for resting between activities. The pools were in good condition, and we felt safe thanks to the many lifeguards on duty. A fun and comfortable spot for a family day out!
