I'm very satisfied with that.
The friendly and friendly staff offered advice and help, so even if I wasn't good at drawing, I could enjoy choosing colors and decorating. It was great to learn about Lionhead as well as the production and to be able to participate alone.

Great experience
They were so accommodating and friendly. Had a great experience since none of us has artistic flare 😂 Heard that they have other classes such as cooking. Will totally visit the cooking class next time in ho chi minh

Unique and fun experience in HCM
What an amazing experience! We were looking for something a little different to do in HCM and found the mini lion head painting workshop. The hosts were amazing and took us through some history of the lion dance before starting the crafting process. We had a great time and found the whole experience very relaxing. The class was in a small cafe on the top floor with an elevator available almost to the top floor. The space had great views of the city skyline and coffee and pastries on offer to buy.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
HCM city: Traditional Lion Head Crafting Workshop: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does HCM city: Traditional Lion Head Crafting Workshop cost?
+
Prices start at $510000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does HCM city: Traditional Lion Head Crafting Workshop take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.
Is HCM city: Traditional Lion Head Crafting Workshop worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule HCM city: Traditional Lion Head Crafting Workshop?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is HCM city: Traditional Lion Head Crafting Workshop suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book HCM city: Traditional Lion Head Crafting Workshop?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does HCM city: Traditional Lion Head Crafting Workshop start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels Small-Group Tour: Vietnam War Underground Network, Cu Chi underground tour - Learn Vietnam war with others. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
