Who it suits
Is this day right for your family?
Families who love ancient history. Here is how it works for each age.
Babies & toddlers
Honestly, not the best day for them: paths are unpaved, there is little shade and it gets hot early. A carrier works better than a stroller if you do come.
Kids 4 to 11
Best from about 7: stories of kings and gods, temples made of brick with no glue, and a short Cham dance show on many mornings.
Teens
An ancient kingdom in a jungle valley, a UNESCO site, and a guide who knows Cham history well.
Grandparents
An electric cart from the gate, a rest in the museum out of the sun, and back at your hotel before the midday heat. Uneven paths, so good shoes help.
