Discover the 'menu' of fun activities for hot days.

On weekends, it's not uncommon to see families and groups of friends heading to water parks or shady spots to escape the heat, get some exercise, and relax after school or work.

Tourists explore the melaleuca forest by motorboat at the Endless Fields Tourist Area (Moc Hoa district).

Since the beginning of May, temperatures in Long An have fluctuated between 25-34 ^° C. The weather is unpredictable , with intense sunshine followed by sudden rain, making outdoor activities quite challenging. Instead of long vacations, many families are choosing to take their children to amusement parks within the province to relax while ensuring they still have time for studying.

Van Lai Vien amusement park (Ben Luc district, Long An province) is one of the destinations chosen by families, groups of friends, and student groups for recreation and entertainment. With ticket prices ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 VND, the outdoor play area and swimming pool here are shaded and covered so children can play while avoiding the harsh sun.

According to Tran Thi Ngoc Ngan, manager of Van Lai Vien amusement park, both adults and children love games like inflatable slides, climbing, cycling, balance beams, etc., to exercise, put away from phones, and relax their minds. When participating in activities in the swimming pool area, everyone can comfortably play under the large roof without fear of sun or rain.

Ms. Ngan added: “The games here are all designed to encourage physical activity, helping to improve fitness. In May, families with young children and groups from schools in the province or nearby often come here on weekends.”

This summer also sees a trend towards nature-oriented recreation and sustainable tourism. Many groups and families are choosing the Endless Fields Ecotourism Area (Moc Hoa district) to experience "leaving the city for the forest" with activities closely connected to nature such as visiting the melaleuca forest by boat, cycling around the forest edge, "forest bathing," kayaking, etc.

According to Duong Van Toan, Deputy Director of the Endless Fields Ecotourism Area: “Visitors come here not only to sightsee but also to find relaxation and immerse themselves in nature. With its unique ecosystem, the temperature in the melaleuca forest is always lower than outside, creating a pleasant feeling even in the hot season. We also offer additional activities such as herbal foot baths and bathing in rainwater ponds, which are very suitable for people's current need to cool down.”

For families with young children, the need to "cool off" also comes with criteria for safety and comfort. Mr. Nguyen Van Mai (Thuan My commune, Chau Thanh district) shared: "My grandchildren love playing in the water, so I often take them to swimming pools and playgrounds with water features on weekends. I prioritize choosing places with roofs and shade so they can play and relax without worrying about getting tired from the sun."

When choosing places to play during the hot season, parents should consider selecting destinations that ensure safety and are suitable for their children's age and physical condition. Playing and exercising not only helps children improve their health and relieve stress after school, but also creates opportunities to strengthen family bonds.
