Halloween Activities for Kids in HCMC 2026

Information checked 3 October 2026.

Choose the Halloween your child will enjoy

Halloween can be a small creative afternoon or a bigger family outing. Start with what your child enjoys: making something, exploring together or dressing up for an adventure. A familiar costume and one well-chosen activity can be enough to make the day feel special.

This is a growing list for October 2026. Two programmes below have dated organiser or partner announcements. The Marou workshop is listed on KiddoGo, while Tinker's adventure still needs its practical details confirmed. Check availability and the total family cost directly before making plans.

Choose your kind of visit

• For a short creative afternoon: compare pumpkin decorating and face painting at Mia Saigon.
• For a daytime family outing: look at the AHI Halloween Bazaar.
• For children who enjoy baking: check the age and accompanying-adult rules for the Maison Marou workshop.
• For children who enjoy spooky stories: ask Tinker about the museum adventure's age guidance and scare level before booking.

Make something together at Mia Saigon

Mia Saigon's Halloween Family Fun brings pumpkin decorating and face painting together in an afternoon programme with Kitchen by the River.

The hotel's October calendar lists Saturday, 31 October 2026, from 14:00 to 15:00. Participation is complimentary for guests using hotel services. This is a condition of access, so ask which services qualify and whether there is a minimum spend when reserving.

The announcement describes the activity as being for little ones but gives no precise age range. Confirm suitability for your child, adult participation and available spaces with the hotel.

Spend the day at the AHI Halloween Bazaar

The AHI Halloween Bazaar 2026 is a family community celebration at Anne Hill International School in An Khánh, with a charitable purpose supporting educational access for disadvantaged Vietnamese students.

The published event runs on Saturday, 31 October 2026, from 08:00 to 16:00. The partner announcement lists free entry for AHI parents and 50,000 VND for non-AHI parents. It does not specify children's admission charges or a complete family ticket price.

Before visiting, confirm the exact school entrance, children's admission and the day's activity schedule. Individual stalls or activities may have separate costs; ask what admission includes.

Bake Halloween treats in Thảo Điền

KiddoGo's Maison Marou Halloween Treats Masterclass listing describes a chef-led session making pumpkin pie with a chocolate crust, toffee, candied pumpkin and chocolate ganache at Académie Marou, 90 Xuân Thủy, Thảo Điền.

The listing gives Saturday, 17 October 2026, 09:15–12:30, at 1,290,000 VND per person, for ages 8 and above. Children aged 8–12 must attend with a registered adult. Ask about the adult's registration and fee when calculating the family cost.

These details come from the KiddoGo listing; the organiser's current booking page still needs to be checked for this HCMC session. Confirm seats, the date and the final fee before paying. The listed ingredients include gluten, eggs, nuts and dairy, so discuss allergies directly with Marou.

Check Tinker's spooky museum adventure

A public promotional post describes A Night at the Oddity Museum, a Halloween adventure at Tinker Adventure in the Park, involving mysterious rooms, clues and puzzles to solve together.

The post identifies the outdoor venue at 7B Tân Phú, Phú Mỹ Hưng, District 7, and provides a registration form. This is a different location from Tinker Box, the indoor venue on Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai in District 1.

The post's accessible text does not give a complete event date, time, ticket price or age range. Ask the organiser for these details, the level of fright and the wet-weather plan before choosing this outing. The adventure description suggests a more intense experience than a simple craft session; suitability needs to be checked with Tinker.

See the public event post or open the registration form. Contact: 0904 83 66 85.

Before you leave

1. Confirm the session. Ask for the date, start time, duration and available spaces for your chosen activity.
2. Check the whole family's cost. Include adult entry, materials, food and any required hotel service or accompanying-adult booking.
3. Ask what “spooky” means. Check for darkness, loud sounds, masked performers and an easy way to step out if your child needs a break.
4. Keep costumes comfortable. Choose clothes and shoes that work for the activity and let your child see and move easily.
5. Keep a nearby backup. For outdoor plans, confirm what happens if it rains and save an indoor alternative.

Keep your family plan simple

Choose one main activity, leave time for a snack and keep the return journey manageable. For a different kind of day, compare the indoor-playground guide or browse KiddoGo activities.

KiddoGo curates kids' activities in Ho Chi Minh City. Always confirm schedules, prices and availability directly with the organiser.
