Attraction

Thang Long Water Puppet Theater

57B Dinh Tien Hoang, Hanoi

Water puppetry is an ancient storytelling art in Vietnam, where the puppets perform on water. As a cultural experience, this theatre in central Hanoi provides a great show for people of all ages. There is no English translation, but simply seeing the art form and colorful puppets in action opens a curtain so to speak on a typical Vietnamese activity.

The shows are short — usually less than an hour — so even the youngest kids who might get fidgety should be able to hang on.

Hours

Show times vary.

Things to Know

A great souvenir for the kids, or the entire family, might be a puppet of your own, for sale in the lobby after the show.
