The new, modern Ho Chi Minh City Children’s House was inaugurated and opened to citywide kids today, April 29, after three years of renovation.

The inauguration came just in time to mark the 42th anniversary of the Reunification Day on April 30.

Designed by architect Nguyen Truong Luu, the Children’s House is shaped like a seed, symbolizing a cradle that nourishes and develops the young generations of Vietnam.

The modern entertainment and educational complex is located at 169 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia Street in District 3, with the facelift costing some VND235 billion (US$10.3 million).

The five-story center features a new 500-seat auditorium and a state-of-the-art 115-seat 3D theater. A modern room equipped with various astronomical instruments such as telescopes now awaits any children interested in this scientific subject to explore.

There are many new training programs such as sport dances and science classes for children provided at the center.

Underprivileged children will receive discounted or free services when registering for classes or programs at the center.

The Children’s House is considered the most modern of its kind in Ho Chi Minh City and easily in Vietnam.
