What makes it 67% Kids-Friendly: Older children enjoy hands-on history and widened tunnels, yet graphic booby-trap displays, loud gunfire, rough paths, and the lack of stroller-friendly toilets require close adult supervision.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Allows time to explore the tunnels, exhibits, and play areas without rushing.
Tunnel Crawl:
Crawl through widened tunnel sections used by Viet Cong.
Tip: Help younger kids navigate bends and use exit points every few meters.
Booby-Trap Demonstrations:
See live displays of bamboo traps and hidden entrances.
Tip: Keep children behind safety lines and explain how each trap worked.
Children’s Swimming Pool:
Splash in the shallow pool with life-jacket rentals.
Tip: Bring swimwear and towels; the pool is ideal for cooling off.
Family Cycling:
Rent bikes with child seats and ride flat jungle trails.
Tip: Choose tandem bikes for toddlers or attach child seats for safety.

Lot of tourists are visiting this place but still able to explore all the tunnel areas. There is a shooting area where you can practice shooting with M14 or other guns. We also got opportunity to ate cassava prepared by Vietna...
