West Lake Water Park began welcoming residents and tourists for entertainment activities on 18/4. This year, many new equipment items and miniatures were added, creating an attractive experience space.

West Lake Water Park opened its doors on 18/4, attracting over 6,000 visitors eager to enjoy its summer offerings. The park, located in Tay Ho ward, Hanoi, is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, especially with northern regions experiencing their first heatwave of 2026, with temperatures reaching 35-37 degrees C since late march.

According to a park representative, from 19/4 to 24/4, the park offers a flat ticket price of 150.000 dong for all visitors over 0,9 m tall. Many art programs and minigames are prepared to serve visitors during the Hung Kings' Commemoration Day and the 30/4 - 1/5 holidays.

The park introduced a "Summer Voyage" concept this year, transforming the venue into a vibrant marine-themed wonderland. From the entrance to the play zones, pirate ships, treasure chests, wooden barrels, and steering wheels, along with clusters of coral and various sea creatures, are arranged cohesively, creating engaging photo opportunities and immersive experiences for visitors.

Many children use floats when participating in games in the wave pool area.

To mark its opening, the park is offering special promotions. From 19/4 to 24/4, a flat ticket price of 150.000 dong is available for all visitors taller than 0,9 m. Phuong Trinh, 19, from Ba Dinh ward, arrived at the water park at 16h, having purchased her ticket online to save time. "Today, the discounted ticket price is very low, so after school, my friend and I took the opportunity to come and experience it", Trinh said.

Lifeguards are always on duty, carrying floats, and wearing orange clothes for easy identification.

The wave pool area serves as a stage for a DJ program combining music, lights, and water, providing a unique entertainment experience. Le Thi Giang, General Director of Hanoi Entertainment Services Joint Stock Company, which manages West Lake Water Park, shared the park's vision: "We built 'Summer Voyage' as an invitation for visitors to experience a beach-like atmosphere right in the heart of Hanoi, hoping to bring a summer full of energy and memorable moments".

Safety is a priority, with lifeguards readily identifiable in orange attire constantly on duty. Deep water areas are clearly marked with warning signs and water depth information.

Adventure games such as multi-lane slides, tube slides, and raft slides attract visitors testing their limits. Many attractions draw hundreds of people into lines, with each wait lasting approximately 15 minutes for popular rides like raft and water slides. A group of tam friends from Thanh Xuan ward visited West Lake due to the reasonable prices on the opening day. For 98.000 dong, guests can access all services, including unlimited water games, free use of changing rooms and showers, swimming floats, participation in minigames, and enjoyment of all artistic programs throughout the day. "It's too crowded this year; each game can only be played once", said Hoai Anh, 21.
