Not for people who don’t enjoy high pitch sounds

This is a very personal take but the show was not exciting to me because the pitch of the music and the singing is very high. The puppets were cute though

Poor service

Paid for 4 VIP tickets, but when we showed up to collect tickets we were given back row deluxe tickets. No heads up/communication from tour operator. View was poor from row L. You won’t see much from the back, especially if you have kids.

Very quirky and...

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.

Overrated tourist trap experience

Despite being listed everywhere as a 'must do' in Hanoi, this experience was very disappointing: tiny seats with no leg room (and I am not a large person); poor performance quality; sweltering temperature inside the theater (on a cold day). Save your money and time for something else.

One persons opinion

Wonderful blend of music, lighting, and theatrical performance. Unique musical instruments which complement show.

Hanoi Water Puppet Show! A Must SEE.

The water puppet show is definitely worth seeing! My experience with the ticket provider went smoothly. I was able to pick up the tickets directly at the ticket office at the theater. I appreciate that I didn't have to go to a different location for the tickets like I saw for other ticket providers. I purchased the skip the line option. Would recommend.

A Magical Evening at the pupett theatre :)

If you think puppets can’t swim, think again! The Water Puppet Theatre in Hanoi is a hilarious splash of culture. The colorful puppets danced and told stories while we all laughed and clapped. It’s like a party on water, and trust me, you don’t want to miss it! Perfect for a fun night out. Duratin: 55 min.

Water Puppet Show

Since it was a holiday weekend with Reunification Day and Labor Day weekend. Many of the roads were closed to get to the theater on time. I arrived 10 minutes late and the ushers were so kind to let me in and guide to my seat without a fuss. Thank you so much. The show itself was amazing 👏.

Fun afternoon

Great fun but incomprehensible. Read about it before going. Kids will like it a lot. A cultural event
