Every weekend, I take my kids to a children’s playground right in the center of Soc Son ward.
There are about five playgrounds in my area, but I always choose this one. Not because it’s the closest to home, but because it’s truly worth it. Keep reading my post and you’ll understand why.
This place is always crowded, especially on Saturday and Sunday evenings. That shows it really attracts families — not because of discounts or ads, but because it’s truly good.
When I walk in, the first thing I feel is how big and open it is. This playground is much larger than the others nearby. The space is divided into smaller zones, each with different types of games. Kids of all ages can find something they enjoy.
The floor is all covered with thick soft foam, very safe for kids. I feel really at ease letting my child run, jump, and climb around. Young kids often fall, but here every fall is soft and safe.
Many fun games – never boring
This playground has all the games kids love: ball pits with many slides, a mini climbing wall, monkey bars, bouncing castles, sand play with toy shovels and buckets, LEGO building zone, a pretend supermarket and kitchen play area.
There are also ride-on cars, baby walkers, remote-control electric cars, arcade games, and animal rockers. Active kids can climb and slide, while calmer kids can play with LEGO or pretend to cook. Every time we come, my child picks a new game. Never bored!
Cool and comfortable – even on hot days
What I really like is that there are more than 10 air conditioners running all the time. Even when there are many kids playing, the whole place is still very cool. In Hanoi’s hot summer, this is a perfect place for children.
Other playgrounds also have air conditioners, but they are too weak or not enough. Here, it’s different. They really invest and care. Just walk in and you’ll feel comfortable right away.
Ticket price is cheap – adults go in for free
Another big plus: the ticket is only 40,000 VND (about 1.7 USD) per child, with no time limit. Adults go in for free — no extra charge like many other places. This makes me very happy, because sometimes the whole family comes, and only the child pays 😁.
I’ve been to other playgrounds with similar prices (30,000–40,000 VND), but they limit play time and charge 10,000–20,000 VND for each adult. Just two adults and you already pay more. But not here. Very fair and family-friendly.
Snacks and drinks – cheap but tasty
After playing, my kid usually gets thirsty or hungry. Right inside the playground, there’s a snack and drink counter with everything: milk tea, lemon tea, sugarcane juice, corn milk… snacks like chips, jelly, candy, popcorn, sausages, fried spring rolls…
The prices are super cheap. I bought one cup of lemon tea and one sugarcane juice — only 10,000 VND each (less than 0.5 USD). The lemon tea was fresh, the sugarcane juice was sweet and not watered down. I was surprised the price was so low but the quality still good.
Other snacks also have reasonable prices. My kid loves to buy a small bag of popcorn after playing.
I choose this place, not just for the games
For me, the space and games are just part of it. What keeps me coming back is the comfort, the thoughtful setup, and the friendly staff. The people here are always cheerful, helpful, and ready to assist when kids need anything.
But the biggest reason — it’s my kid’s happiness. Every time I ask: “Where do you want to go this Sunday?” My child always says, “Let’s go to the ball pit, Mom.”
If you live in the Soc Son area, or happen to visit, and you’re looking for a great place for your kids to play, I honestly recommend trying this one. No need for loud advertising just walk in and you’ll understand why it’s always full of happy families.
Good price, big space, many fun games, cool and clean air, and most importantly both kids and parents feel happy and relaxed.
For me, this playground is not just a place to play it’s a part of our weekend family routine.
