Celebrating Children’s Day with a splash in Saigon

Suoi Tien Amusement Park in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 9 offered free entrance for children less than 1.4 meters tall as a special Children's Day promo.

The swimming pool and water games were among the favorite ways to cool off in the summer heat.

Parents wait for their children near the pool. A mother from the neighboring Dong Nai Province said she got the park early in the morning. “I can wait all day because it’s Children’s Day,” she said.

The fish massage area was open for everyone but the children had priority on the special day.

Babies were brought to the park just for the atmosphere.
