Glow Up Minigolf in Ho Chi Minh City

Glow Up Minigolf is an indoor, glow-in-the-dark miniature-golf venue at 62 Đường Số 1 in the An Khánh area of Ho Chi Minh City, east of the historic central districts. Its main attraction is an 18-hole course illuminated with fluorescent and LED effects, giving a familiar family game a more theatrical setting. It works best for couples, families, groups of friends and travelers looking for an indoor activity during heat or rain. The biggest limitation is scale: recent visitors describe it as compact rather than a sprawling adventure-golf complex, so people expecting elaborate multi-room scenery or a highly technical course may find the experience simpler than the visual theme suggests.

The operator describes the course as 18 holes with varied levels of difficulty and promotes play without a strict time limit on standard admission. The course is designed to be approachable even for first-time mini-golf players, with ramps, curves, tunnels and other obstacles that gradually change the challenge. The fluorescent murals and darkened lighting are part of the experience rather than mere decoration, and recent 2026 visitor reports still mention the glowing effects as the venue’s defining feature. Competitive golfers should not expect a formal putting facility; this is recreational mini-golf built around social play and friendly scoring.

Glow Up adds several activities beyond the main course. The current official website lists mini billiards and board games upstairs, plus a bar serving drinks including beer, soft drinks and cocktails. This extra lounge space is useful when one part of a group finishes first or wants a break between rounds. Recent visitor accounts also mention spending time upstairs after playing. These additions make the venue more flexible than a single-course attraction, but they should be treated as supporting entertainment rather than separate full-scale facilities.

Current ticket information on the operator’s site shows that prices depend on the type of visitor or package. A children’s ticket is advertised at 130,000 VND, while family bundles are listed at 500,000 VND for one adult with two children and 600,000 VND for two adults with two children. Promotions and couple or group offers can change, so these figures are best used as a planning guide rather than a guaranteed walk-in tariff. The practical value is strongest for groups who stay for the full course and use the additional games rather than rushing through only a few holes.

Opening hours are unusually consistent across current sources. Monday is closed. Tuesday through Friday the venue opens from 14:00 to 21:00, while Saturday and Sunday run from 13:00 to 22:00. Tripadvisor carries a July 2026 review and the same weekly schedule, and current map-style directories match it. That combination gives reasonable confidence that the business is active in 2026. Weekdays are generally the better choice for visitors who want more space, while weekends are more natural for families and groups but can be busier.

Allow about one to two and a half hours, depending on group size, how seriously you keep score and whether you use the upstairs games. A pair can move through the 18 holes faster than a family or larger group. Because the operator does not force a short fixed session on the main ticket, visitors can usually avoid feeling rushed, though crowding can still affect pace. Recent reviews describe the course as fun for social competition, while a minority note that the room is small or the design is less elaborate than expected. Those observations are subjective, but they are useful for setting realistic expectations.

The address is outside the densest District 1 sightseeing core, so most international visitors will find taxi or ride-hailing more convenient than walking. The current listing places the venue in An Khánh, while older material uses the former Bình An or District 2 naming. Use the exact street address rather than relying only on district labels, which have changed with administrative restructuring. Nearby dining options make it easy to combine mini-golf with a meal in the wider Thủ Đức/An Khánh area.

Accessibility information is incomplete but more positive than at many small entertainment venues. A current directory labels the site wheelchair accessible, yet the operator does not provide a detailed statement about step-free circulation through every part of the course, accessible toilets or access to the upstairs games. Travelers who rely on specific facilities should call ahead. The activity itself also requires some standing and club handling, although companions can participate socially even if they do not play every hole.

Glow Up Minigolf is therefore best viewed as a compact, playful indoor diversion rather than a major theme-park destination. Its strengths are clear: a visually distinctive 18-hole course, a relaxed social format, extra games upstairs and late weekend hours. Its tradeoffs are equally clear: the course is modest in size, it sits away from the main central attractions, and the experience is more about atmosphere and group fun than sophisticated course design. For travelers who want a low-pressure evening activity or a weather-proof family option, those strengths can make it a useful addition to a Ho Chi Minh City itinerary.
