The Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater

Really unique experience! I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but the water puppet show turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip to Vietnam. The music, the traditional storytelling, and the skill of the puppeteers were all amazing. Even though the narration was in Vietnamese, it was still very easy to follow and enjoy. It’s a great way to experience Vietnamese culture in a fun and memorable way. Highly recommend checking it out!

We had front-row seats at the Saigon water puppet show and the view was fantastic! The theatre is small and cosy, which makes the whole experience feel really intimate. The show lasts around 45 minutes and we enjoyed every minute of it. There were loads of different puppets and charming short stories drawn from Vietnamese culture and everyday life. A really unique experience. Even got splashed once. Loads of fun- definitely visit!!

We watched here and the show was fun. We sat near the stage and the show was live. The singers and musicians were brilliant kudos to all the artist behind every puppet. The aircon was fine here. Food/drinks were not recommended to consume if you’ll bring one. Mostly are foreigners though the language used was in Vietnamese. No need to learn the Vietnamese because mostly are in actions and sounds. Light and choreography of the puppets were excellent. Worth your money. We bought our ticket online and claimed the physical ticket thru one of the staff in front of the kiosk. Souvenirs were sold outside after the show and it was not that expensive especially the toys and post cards. Definitely all souvenirs were unique and you can buy it only at that place.

from the moment i arrived, i was warmly greeted by the friendly and helpful staff at the door who kindly directed me to the toilets and assisted with ticket collection. the show itself left me super impressed and intrigued! even though it was performed in Vietnamese, the humor and storytelling were conveyed so well that everyone could understand and enjoy it. i couldn’t help but wonder how they managed to perform with puppets in the water, and they satisfyingly revealed the secret at the end of the show! it was such an amazing experience, and I’d definitely bring more friends along if I get the chance to go again!

We went with our 7 and 4 year old kids and both adults and kids enjoyed the show. It was only 45 minutes and the show kept the kids entertained the whole way through even if it was in Vietnamese. We were able to buy tickets about an hour before the show at the venue which were 330k each (same price for adults and kids)

Good to experience. Traditional Vietnamese puppet show, show time is at 6.30pm. We do not understand the language but can understand from the puppeteers performance. Recommend to come at least once.

This was my first time seeing a water puppet show. The storytelling was funny and engaging, accompanied by traditional local instruments. You can get here by Grab taxi. The show starts at 6:30 PM and ends at 7:20 PM.

This is the absolute most AMAZING puppet show I have ever seen. You don't have to understand the language to understand the story line. The theatrics and vocals are beyond compare. The music and vocals are live performers on the side of the stage. They do a great job. The people that handle the puppets will make you wonder "how do they do that?" Very impressed by the whole performance
