I’m calling this page Tom’s World because this list was shared to me by my neighbor, Tom Meyer. Tom is a devoted father to his two gorgeous kids. And what more can a dad do but make a list of places in and out Saigon he knows his kids would enjoy. From where I came from, “Tom’s World” is actually an amusement place where kids can hang out and play and party. It has franchises all over my country. 🙂
Tom passed to me this list and from time to time, I’ll be updating this with the help of people in our neighborhood, especially Allyson Keane (another neighbor). Allyson is a wealth of information, especially when it comes to keeping kids entertained. So where do you bring your kids in Saigon?

Hello Saigon! 
Pingback: Kiddies Day Out | Hello Saigon!
Pingback: W.A.T.P.I.Y.N.: Meet Tom | Hello Saigon!
One important detail missing, would love to know the actual ages of the kids that attend these locations. After hearing all about Snap Cafe for example,it turned out my kids were at least 6 years older than most and other than the food were not interested in the playground.
Look forward to your feedback.
Thanks for your comment Aliza! Will be sure to update accordingly! 🙂
do u know where can we buy baby products in pmh or district 1? thanks
Hi Danny. From the top of my mind, in PMH, M&B in Sky Garden 1 (facing Nguyen Van Linh St.) There’s also another M&B in District 4 right after you cross the bridge from District 7 which should be at your left. If you can grab a copy of The Word or maybe check out wordhcmc.com, they have a listing for shops selling baby items.
Hope this helps! 🙂
hi Lyra, thanks
i am also looking for a baby sitter, about 3 hours a day only. this is to look after the baby when the mum is cooking. my wife is particular about cleanliness and hygiene, therefore, the baby sitter job is just to look after the baby, no feeding and bathing of baby required.
do u know where can we get a baby sitter and how much is the going on rate? one company called Happy House quoted me VND40,000/hour. i think it’s slightly high or is this the market rate?
Hi, you can try checking this section of the site: https://hello-saigon.com/help/.
Hope you find the right fit. 🙂
hi Lyra,
thanks again.
Enjoying your blog!! Great idea!!
for older kids there is Golden Cafe in Thao Dien (D2). They have a huge bouncy castle and a skate board ?pike?/ramp. Big menu; great pizzas. Entrance is about 40,000/hr per child.
Just opposite BIS Primary in Thao Dien is also JoyMax. G/F has large indoor climbing frame/play area. Party room and restaurant. Upstairs they have an arcade. Again, i think it’s about 40,000 per child/hour
Also conisder Dai Nam Park out in Binh Duong province. Plenty to keep older kids happy (snow world, race cars, roller coaster, … … … ) It’s a ways out, but it’s huge!! Just dont’ go on public holidays … CRAZY busy
Thanks Rebecca for sharing!
Will edit this page and include the info you shared.
🙂
Was wondering if organic whole milk, baby foods and huggies diapers available in Saigon? Will be in town for 3 months with a 1 yr old!

Hi, I heard there is a play gym opened in Saigon one or two months ago. Is anyone know about this and can I have the address?? Thanks.
Hi Jen! Would you know which district in Saigon? It will help narrow down the search.
some updates…
HELLO KIDS moved to the Crescent Mall, used to be upstairs behind Boomerang in the Crescent apartments complex.
Is KIDS YARD at Thien Son Plaza still there? I couldn’t find it upstairs last time I was there (April).
It should be explained that KIDS CLUB SAIGON is a pre-school, you can’t just bring your child there, must register for ongoing classes.
I believe GYMBOREE is the same type of place. It’s located at 21-23 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai in D1.
Kids yard is still there on the 4th floor of Thien Son Plaza. I was there yesterday.
hi, maybe you can add kizciti.The KizCiti theme park is located on Hoang Dieu Street, Ward 5, District 4, HCMC. Entry ticket costs VND180,000 per child on a daily basis, VND220,000 during holidays and VND50,000 for each parent.
Children under 3 enjoy free admission.
*taken from google
Hi kizciti is a good one too..we went there with kids ( 4 y.o)and they had so much fun. They can be a doctor, nurse , pilot, policemen, with big lounge for parents while waiting for their kids.
HI Lyra;
Do you know where I can buy an HP inkjet D2600 ink near PMH area?
Hi! Is that a new model? I’ve seen some HP inks of new models sold at HP store in Crescent Mall. Unfortunately for me, my inkjet ink was unavailable there so I had to get it from Phong Vu in D3.
Hello Lyra,
I am so thankful I found your blog through google. Do you happen to know any place that sell organic milk? I checked in An Nam and they don’t have.

Humana People to People is a global network of aid agencies from more
than 40 countries on five continents. Forged during the
upheaval engendered by the system of Apartheid in South Africa in the
1970s, Humana recognized that the end of colonialism and Apartheid
in 1994 was not the end of suffering. While they had assisted in winning the fight for equality in South Africa, there were communities in need across
the globe. The obvious continuation of their
program to help people in South Africa was to extend this aid to
the rest of the world. Thus, Humana People to People was born from the struggle for basic human rights for all people.
To call Humana People to People an aid agency is to oversimplify its core guiding principles and its
aim when it enters communities. Rather than simply offering aid in the way that one might cover a
wound with a bandage, Humana seeks to transform whole communities, giving them tools that will enable them to solve their current
problems and guard against issues that might
arise in the future. This is a “top down” approach that maintains the only way to aid both people and communities is to fundamentally change the core elements that keep them from succeedi\
