The Largest Astronomy Park in Southeast Asia
The Astronomy Park spans an area of 120,000 square meters, with 6,000 square meters dedicated to water features. Here, visitors can step into the shoes of astronauts and explore the vast universe, including the expansive Milky Way and the world of astronomy, through a blend of landscape architecture and scientific technology.
The park features several themed areas: Bách Hợp Thủy Lake, Zodiac Plaza, Milky Way Garden, Alien Objects Zone, Extraterrestrial Plaza, and the Black Hole Pool. Each area is designed around astronomical themes. Notably, the Big Bang Plaza simulates the explosion that led to the formation of the universe as we know it.
Exploring the Astronomy Park
The journey through the miniature universe at the Astronomy Park is divided into two main routes. The outer route, known as the Milky Way, is a walking path designed to curve and wind like the vast Milky Way galaxy. Along this path, visitors will find objects decorated to resemble constellations within the galaxy. Various lighting and color effects add a dynamic touch, enhancing the overall atmosphere to make it more immersive and realistic.
The park has four entrances, each leading to its own unique plaza: the Big Bang Plaza, Zodiac Plaza, Solar System Plaza, and Extraterrestrial Plaza.
The inner route features a serene lakeside walking path, offering a peaceful experience for visitors. This pathway creates the sensation of walking on the surface of a vast lake, complete with sturdy piers and a uniquely protruding boat deck.
Big Bang Square
Your journey of exploration begins at Big Bang Square, where you’ll dive deeper into the highlights of the Astronomical Park. At this square, a prominent Big Bang Tower is constructed as a central feature. The tower has a small base that expands as it rises, symbolizing the Big Bang that gave birth to the universe. The small base represents a tiny point of explosion that spread out and continuously expanded into the infinite cosmos. If you visit at the right time, you can enjoy music festivals and fairs held at Big Bang Square. As you walk towards the Moonlight Bridge, you’ll pass through gardens dedicated to famous scientists and astronomers, such as Galileo and Newton.
This square is inspired by the 12 constellations, corresponding to the 12 zodiac signs in astronomy. Each star within these constellations is represented by a fountain, creating a dazzling effect during the day.
Milky Way Garden
The Milky Way Garden is a replica of the galaxy, showcasing the formation of the universe. The garden features a spiral wall system, resembling a mysterious and intricate maze. The surfaces are meticulously decorated with traditional glazed tiles, creating high-quality, unique, and captivating wall panels.

The area is meticulously designed to create a lifelike experience, with the Sun at the center and the surrounding planets, including Earth. Each planet is marked with features that make it easy for visitors, especially children, to understand the solar system. The plaza is surrounded by growing plants and includes a structure extending into the water, which serves as a dock for various water sports activities.

This area is sure to delight children with its engaging design. It features a "cosmic grid" structure with varied textures that mimic the geological formations of planetary surfaces. The UFO Zone includes games based on alien objects, thoughtfully arranged to provide kids with enjoyable and educational moments. Nearby, the ISS Station offers refreshments for parents to relax while watching their children. This isn't just a typical kiosk; it's an innovative blend of technology and new materials, complete with solar panels on the roof. Alien Square replicates the orbital paths of planets within our Solar System.
