For the September 2nd National Day holiday, with several days off in a row, I once again face the usual “parent dilemma”: Where can I take my kids that’s fun, safe, and weather-proof? After plenty of trial and error, I’ve realized that indoor playgrounds are the smartest choice—especially in Saigon, where the weather can flip from sunny to rainy in an instant. Among the places I’ve taken my kids, FANPEKKA and TINIWORLD at AEON MALL Tân Phú Celadon are the two that both my kids and I absolutely love.
If you’re a parent, I bet you’ve wondered about these same things:
Cramped spaces: Kids run around and can bump into each other.
Too few activities: They get bored in less than an hour.
Hot and stuffy air: Poor ventilation or weak air conditioning makes it uncomfortable, especially when crowded.
Mixed-age play areas: Toddlers and bigger kids playing together can be risky.
What I love most about FANPEKKA is that it’s spacious and well-zoned. Younger kids have their own safe play area, while older ones have their own adventure space—no worries about collisions.
Role-play zones: Doctor, chef, engineer… fun and educational at the same time.
Active play structures: Slides, climbing walls, ball pits—perfect for burning energy.
Cool and airy environment: Even during the busy holiday, it’s still comfortable and not stuffy.
TINIWORLD’s strength lies in its variety of activities that suit many age groups:
Interactive and electronic games: Great for reflexes and hand-eye coordination.
Creative art corners: Pottery painting, handicrafts, drawing—perfect for focus and creativity.
Separate toddler area: Safe, easy to supervise, and less crowded.
Weather-proof – rain or shine, the fun goes on.
Plenty of food and shopping options: After playtime, the family can enjoy meals at Chang Kang Kung, Kichi Kichi, or iSushi.
Great service and safety: Friendly staff and attentive security for peace of mind.
Arrive early or book tickets in advance to avoid long waits.
Dress your kids in comfortable clothes and pack a change of clothes.
Bring water and snacks so they can recharge between activities.
