Da Nang: Than Tai Hot Spring Park E-Ticket
Nui Than Tai Hot Spring Park gives you a rare mix of hot mineral pools and mountain air only about 30 minutes from central Da Nang. The park also adds a water area, lazy river, dinosaur displays, gardens, and other attractions, so you can make a full day of it rather than stopping for a quick soak.
I like the easy escape from the city and the fact that the hot springs are included in the $19 ticket, along with the sauna, steam bath, jacuzzi massage, and lazy river slide. I also like the range of simple family activities, from Jurassic Park to paddle time at Lover’s Lake. The main drawback is that not every part may operate at the same time, and some pools can feel only mildly warm, especially on a cool day.
Key points
- Best reason to go: The natural mineral bath is the heart of the visit, with sauna, steam bath, jacuzzi massage, and hot tubs included.
- Easy Da Nang outing: The park is about 20 km from the city center, roughly 30 minutes by car.
- Plan your arrival: The park opens at 8:30 AM, and early arrival can mean quieter pools and better use of the rides.
- Good for mixed groups: You can combine soaking with the Water Park, lazy river, Jurassic Park, Orchid Garden, movies, and games.
- Watch the clock: Last admission is at 3 PM, while the park closes at 5:30 PM. Some rides may close from 11:30 AM to 1 PM.
- Know the child prices: Children 99 cm and below enter free. Children from 100 to 140 cm need a child ticket.
Reaching Nui Than Tai from Da Nang

Nui Than Tai Hot Spring Park is a straightforward day trip from Da Nang. It sits about 20 km from the city, with a stated driving time of around 30 minutes. The ticket does not include hotel pickup or drop-off, so you need to arrange your own transport.
That missing transfer is worth factoring into the real cost. At $19 per person, the entry ticket is reasonable for a full day of water and recreation, but your total outing will also include the cost of getting there and back, food, and any personal spending.
The park is in the Ba Na Nui Chua area, where the setting changes from city streets to old mountain scenery and cooler, fresh air. The change is part of the appeal. You are not simply visiting an indoor spa. You are heading into a large nature and recreation area where a hot bath can sit alongside a forested mountain view.
The park is open every day from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Last admission is at 3 PM, but arriving that late would leave too little time for a worthwhile visit. I would aim for the opening time, especially if you want a quiet pool, a relaxed meal, and several attractions.

What the $19 ticket covers

The strongest part of the ticket is that it includes the main bathing facilities rather than charging separately for each one. Your admission covers:
- Natural mineral bath
- Sauna
- Steam bath
- Lazy river slide
- Jacuzzi massage
- Natural hot tub
This makes the ticket good value if you plan to use the hot spring facilities for several hours. A person who only wants a short soak may find the day ticket less compelling, but the park is designed for a longer visit.
The natural mineral bath is the central draw. You can expect warm water, mountain surroundings, and a slower pace than at the water attractions. The water temperature is not identical in every pool, so do not assume every hot pool will feel equally hot. On a cool day, some pools may feel only mildly warm, and the Water Park may be less appealing.
The sauna and steam bath give you a quieter break from the outdoor areas. The jacuzzi massage and natural hot tub add another way to relax without booking a separate spa treatment. I would treat these facilities as the main reason for buying the ticket, with the other attractions filling out the day.
Starting with the hot springs

If you arrive early, head to the hot spring area before exploring the rest of the park. This gives you the best chance of finding a calmer pool and lets you enjoy the part most closely linked to Nui Than Tai’s natural setting.
One useful detail comes from the park’s scale: you do not need to rush straight from one attraction to the next. You can spend time soaking, move to the sauna or steam bath, then return outdoors for a slower look at the surroundings.
The pools are not all guaranteed to have the same heat. That is important if you are visiting mainly for very hot water. I would try more than one area and decide which temperature suits you rather than settling immediately on the first pool you see.
Early arrival can also change the feel of the visit. A pool may be quiet for a short spell, giving you space to relax without the noise of a busy family attraction. You might even find a pool briefly empty, as can happen during the first part of the day.
The hot springs work well for adults who want a restful outing, but the park is not limited to spa fans. Families can split their time between the water facilities and the activity zones, while one person takes a break in the bath.
Water Park and lazy river timing

The Water Park adds energy to a day that could otherwise become a long series of hot baths. The lazy river slide is included, so you can switch from warm water to a more playful ride without paying another entrance fee.
The practical catch is timing. The rides have been closed between 11:30 AM and 1 PM, so I would use them before lunch if they are a major reason for your visit. This is especially useful if you are bringing children and want to avoid promising an attraction that is temporarily unavailable.
Weather matters here. On a cool day, the Water Park may not be comfortable, even though the hot springs remain usable. Pack your expectations around the weather rather than treating the park as a guaranteed all-day water-slide destination.
A good rhythm is to arrive early, try the rides, then spend the warmer middle part of the day in the hot spring area, sauna, or steam bath. After lunch, you can return to the water attractions if they are operating and if the weather suits you.

Jurassic Park, Lover’s Lake, and the wider park

Nui Than Tai is more than a bathing complex. The attraction list includes Thousand Lakes, Jurassic Park, Temple of Fortune, Orchid Garden, Mountains, Tan Tai area, Game World with real-life games, and free 9D to 12D movies.
The dinosaur walk is one of the more distinctive additions. It gives you an easy sightseeing break from the pools and works well for families. It is not likely to replace a major museum or wildlife park, but it adds visual interest and gives children something different to do between swims.
Lover’s Lake offers paddle time. The paddle outing can take longer than you might expect, so plan it rather than treating it as a five-minute stop. Early in the day, the lake may be quiet enough for a peaceful ride, which makes it a good first activity if you prefer calm water and fewer people.
The Orchid Garden and mountain area provide a slower change of pace. These sections are useful when you want to dry off, walk around, or simply give yourself a break from the pools. The park’s appeal comes from this mix of activities rather than from any one spectacular ride.
The Temple of Fortune, game areas, and free movies give you more options, but the available information does not provide detailed schedules for each one. I would see them as bonus activities, not the reason to book the ticket.
Making a full one-day visit work
You can spend several hours here without running out of things to do. One person stayed for seven hours and still felt there was more to enjoy, which gives you a useful sense of the park’s scale.
I would plan the day in broad stages:
- Arrive near 8:30 AM and collect your bearings.
- Use the rides and Water Park before the midday closure period.
- Move to the hot springs, natural mineral bath, sauna, or steam bath.
- Take time for Jurassic Park, Lover’s Lake, the Orchid Garden, or the mountain areas.
- Eat, rest, and return to any attraction that is operating.
- Leave by 5:30 PM, keeping in mind that admission ends at 3 PM.
This is not a tightly guided tour with a named guide or a fixed sequence. You are buying access to a large attraction and setting your own pace. That works well if your group has different interests, but it also means you need to manage your own time.
Outside food and drinks are not permitted. Plan to buy food inside the park, and remember that meals and personal expenses are not included in the ticket. A barbecue buffet is available as an option, with meat and seafood cooked at the table. The food comes unseasoned, so you will need to season it as it cooks if you choose this meal.
Is the park clean and comfortable?
The available experience suggests a generally clean, orderly park, with the hot spring area receiving the strongest praise. That said, this is a busy attraction with water facilities, so your experience can change with weather, time of day, and crowd levels.
I would bring the usual practical items for a pool day, including swimwear, a change of clothes, and anything you need for a long day outdoors. The supplied information does not specify towel rental, locker arrangements, or changing-room details, so do not rely on those services unless you confirm them directly.
The park combines relaxation with rides and family areas, so it is not a silent spa. If you want complete peace, choose the hot spring facilities and visit early. If you want a more social day with children, stay flexible and use the noise and activity to your advantage.
The mountain air is another reason to avoid treating this as only a swimming stop. You can walk through the grounds, look at the old mountain surroundings, and let the day unfold at a slower pace. Nui Than Tai works best when you leave room for both active and quiet moments.
Who will get the most from this ticket?
I would recommend Nui Than Tai to families, couples, and groups with mixed interests. One person can enjoy the mineral bath while another spends time at the Water Park, Jurassic Park, games, or paddle area.
It also suits anyone who wants an easy nature break from Da Nang without committing to a long journey. The 20 km distance keeps the outing practical, and the full-day validity means you do not need to rush through every attraction.
The park is less suited to someone seeking a refined, adults-only spa. It includes family rides, films, games, dinosaurs, and water attractions, so the mood is part recreation park and part hot spring retreat.
It may also disappoint if you are expecting every pool to be very hot or every attraction to run continuously. Temperatures vary, and the rides can close during part of the day. A flexible attitude matters here.
Value, cancellations, and ticket details
At $19 per person, the ticket offers solid value if you plan to stay for several hours and use the mineral bath, hot tubs, sauna, steam bath, and at least some of the other attractions. The value is weaker if you only want a brief dip or if poor weather keeps you away from the Water Park.
Children 99 cm and below are free. Children from 100 to 140 cm need a child ticket, which helps families estimate the cost before booking. Hotel transfers, food, tips, and personal expenses are extra.
For entry, you need to show a mobile or printed voucher. After booking, a PDF ticket should arrive by email at least 24 hours before your visit. If it does not arrive, the supplied instructions direct you to contact GlobalTix Customer Support through WhatsApp at +65 9765 3804.
You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund, and the reserve-now, pay-later option keeps the booking flexible. Still, check the exact starting time and availability for your chosen date before you finalize plans.
Should you book Nui Than Tai Hot Spring Park?
Book it if you want a full day outside Da Nang with hot springs at the center and plenty of extra activities around them. The natural mineral bath, sauna, steam bath, jacuzzi massage, and hot tub make the $19 entry worthwhile for a long visit, while Jurassic Park, Lover’s Lake, the gardens, and Water Park help keep a mixed group happy.
Arrive early, use the rides before the midday closure period, and leave several hours for the hot spring area. If your ideal day is a quiet, highly polished spa with consistently hot water, this may not be the right choice. If you want an easy mountain escape with warm pools, simple family fun, and room to set your own pace, Nui Than Tai is a practical Da Nang day trip.
