What are people saying about Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre

It’s a show worth seeing!...
It’s a show worth seeing! Although the story is told in Vietnamese language, the puppet movements coupled with the music are enough to tell the story. Absolutely a most enjoyable show!

A must see while in Hanoi
Great show. Was all in Vietnamese but you have an option to purchase an audio version in your language for 50k VND. We didn’t do that and it was still easy to follow the story line of the show. Very funny and the amazing skills of the puppeteers make the show well worth the small ticket cost .

Great show and the music was the best part! Engaging and a cool reprieve from the heat.
Worth checking out!

Wonderful show, well...
Wonderful show, well worth it money.
Easy to follow the story line but can get the head phones if you want to.

Must do in Hanoi
What a fantastic exposure to folk music and puppetry! Just wish with the $16 ticket we would have gotten a program and possibly offered the headphones for translations. But overall without these we got the story as we have been in country for many weeks now. The views are a bit blocked by tall people in front of you, but we made do. No worried if you are in the A row not seeing the activity on the water. Definitely a must do recommendation while in Hanoi!

This is definitely an interesting experience. We booked VIP and were in the second row. We also rented the translators so we could hear the folk stories. I would recommend.

Great show definitely worth a visit.
We arrived to collect our tickets at the box office which was a very swift experience. The show is fabulous and everyone has a great view as the seat are very staggered. The provide booster seats for children too. The puppeteers are so talented.

Lovely Insight into Local Culture
We really enjoyed this experience, very different to anything we've ever seen and would definitely recommend it for those interested in a bit of local culture. Even if you don't understand the words, the skill of the puppeteers, musicians and singers can still be appreciated!

puppet theatre performance
I thoroughly enjoyed the puppet theatre performance and learning about the history behind how it began. It is a wonderful tradition and a source of real pride for the traditional rice farming communities.

Great show
Viator doesn’t make the tickets available through the app. Luckily someone who worked at the theater figured out who we were. Activity was very enjoyable but lack of physical proof of payment was a bit stressful.

Great experience! Easy to get to. Someone was waiting with our tickets when we arrived. Would definitely go again!

Very quirky and traditional. Really enjoyed it. Worth understanding what will happen beforehand or getting audio guide. It does sell out so worth getting tickets before. Unless you get front row tickets it doesn’t really make much difference where you sit.

When to visit

The Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre is a must for families.
The puppet performance lasts barely an hour, so neither adults nor children will have time to get bored.
Unlike some outdoor water-puppet shows, Thang Long is an enclosed theater, which means it’s pleasant even during winter.
There is a café on-site if you’d like to eat before or after your performance, as well as souvenir shops.
