Located in Duong Noi urban area in Ha Dong District, the park which is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, is a public project.
Designed and constructed by Malaysia-based EGO Group, the VND260 billion project construction was started in 2017 and completed in early 2020. However, due to various reasons including the Covid-19 pandemic, visitors have had to wait four years before it officially opened in February this year.
The park covers 120,000 sqm, of which 6,000 sqm is the water surface area of the Bach Hop Thuy Lake.
As its concept design is based on the idea of simulating the process of shaping the universe billions of years ago, the park reproduces the Big Bang and the formation of planets in the solar system. Big Bang Square is the visual highlight of the astronomical park.
The Astronomy Park also features Zodiac Square, Milky Way Garden, Solar System Square, Moonlight Bridge, UFO Playground, Alien Square, Black Hole Pool, Light Fountain, among others.
With simulation models of the Earth, Sun and stars, the park helps visitors, especially children, to get acquainted with some basic knowledge about astronomy.
Since its opening, the park has attracted a large number of visitors, especially children.
