 Take a bicycle tour of the rice fields

If your children are older and proficient cyclists, they can join you on a bicycle tour of the rice fields to be found in the environs of Hoi An. You will see that the tranquil rice fields which can be reached by a short bicycle ride present an idyllic sight that will captivate the observer. On your ride, your family members may see many interesting sights like local farmers working in the fields with their distinctive hats and animals like water buffaloes, chickens, ducks, dogs and cats. Your kids are also bound to be enthralled by a certain type of plant lining the roads which shrivel up when touched.

 Visit Thanh Ha Pottery Village

For an experience that is cultural, creative and educational all at the same time, take the opportunity to visit Thanh Ha Terracotta Park and Pottery Village with your kids. At this site, you will be able to paint a Vietnamese traditional theatre mask of your own, engage in some interesting pottery and tour a fascinating museum. You will also find that the terracotta park has much more to experience too; one of the highlights would be the collection of models of some of the world’s best-known buildings and structures, including the Taj Mahal, the Sydney Opera House and Stonehenge. A choice of accommodation to consider from which you could easily visit this attraction would be Anantara Hoi An Resort which may be regarded as one of the appealingly located Hoi An resorts.

Accept the challenge at Escape IQ

Both adults and children aged ten and over will be engrossed by the challenging tasks offered by Escape IQ. Young children and the faint of heart may find this experience somewhat frightening, but for most others, it will be an entrancing and enjoyable way to spend some time in Hoi An. The objective for participants is to rescue a fictional young backpacker called ‘Ellie’ who has been kidnapped whilst in Vietnam. This escape room challenge will test the thinking abilities of those taking part.

Get a henna tattoo

Another interesting experience in Hoi An would be to get some henna tattoos at Henna Art Hoi An. At this establishment, a professional henna artist will fashion an intricate design on your body using skin-friendly ink. You will have the opportunity to request a custom-made design or select a pattern from a catalogue. Your kids will be captivated as the henna artist creates a beautiful design on their arms, hands, wrists, legs or ankles which will take around 15 to 20 minutes. You will find that the designs are created using a dark brown paste; after some time, the paste will dry and crumble off, leaving behind the exquisite design which will last for as long as a week.

Treat your family at Dingo Deli

After a tiring day of sightseeing, take your family to Dingo Deli, which happens to be a Western operated restaurant, bakery and delicatessen much favoured by expats and foreign visitors to Hoi An. This will be a great place to have a coffee or all-day breakfast whilst kids will also have much to occupy them at the treehouse, swings and games room. You will find that this establishment offers outstanding Western food in the form of pasta, gourmet pies, baked dinners, Mediterranean salads, Mexican specialities and more.
