    ♿ Wheelchair-friendly place. The car park entrance is not wheelchair accessible. Ask someone to help. Small area to travel and always keep someone to push your wheelchair.  Some Buildings are not wheelchair accessible but you can travel with someone's help. Don't forget to travel small clay pottery village behind the main place. That area is 100% wheelchair accessible but has no disabled toilets. Lovely people and you can get some pottery-making experience.   I really recommend it to wheelchair travelers. You have to spend a full day. Always ask staff to help. Always use the google translate app to talk with them. Thanks

    Recommend for around 3hours experience at this village. The people here are so friendly and sincere. Can try to make some with only 10k. Ticket is 35k and you can receive a gift. Take a bike and go from Hoian town is reasonabe, 3km for 1 round. Can pay 50k more to enter the park, small museum and they have cute miniature of famous places in the world.

    Nice place to visit, admission is 35K and parking is 50K, so I suggest you park before you arrive, in case you are driving!!! There are many locals who show you their skills and offer to try their craft, of course they expect you to buy something from their store after the experience! At the end of your "village tour" you will receive a free ceramic whistle in the shape of an animal! I got a cute turtle ;)

    Lovely little experience, if you've got a few hours to spare in Hoi An. Lovely people dedicating their life to pottery, very open to chat and show you more about their life. Tickets cost 35,000VND and allow you to wonder around the village, try pottery by yourself and get a souvenir (a whistle made of clay). But you can as well just socialise with any locals. If you want to take with you wherever you created you'd need to come back a couple of days after, as it needs to dry under the sun for many hours before being baked. Great experience overall, no need to get anything booked, you can just show up and make it a casual day

    Such a cute pottery place with wonderful people working there. You can make your own pot and paint it and take it home - they only require a small donation or to buy a trinket etc. lovely ladies who are always smiling and laughing! The place was quite busy when we got there around 12 mid-week so I’d say if you can, get a ticket before popping down. Walk in is accepted though!

    Much more entertaining than we expected. Traditional village with many shops making and selling pottery. With the ticket you get to make a piece of pottery to take home. There are a lot of demonstrations and fun to wander around the different alleys and see what the different business are making. There is a lot of talented pottery makers here. Fun activity for families as well. Everyone was super friendly and not that pushy to buy. Most shops have similar offerings.

    This is a fantastic experience You buy tickets at the ticket booth we paid 105k for two adults and two kids. They give you tickets that you can redeem for a little trinket at any shop. I would suggest going to the water and checking out the shops there first. They will let you try making poetry and show you some tricks. If you want you can buy something from their shop but not required. One shop will bake the bowl you make and let you paint it. For 30k vnd But be careful. They use air fryers for baking them, and they are not cured. Once you get back to your hotel, let them sit in the sun.

    We really enjoyed the pottery village and seeing how the various pots and vases are made. We also saw some really cute puppies that made my day. With the entrance ticket you get a free souvenir clay whistle that you can pick up from various places around the village, so take a look first and then make your choice.

    Village was kind of strange, most were the same experience houses where you can try to do make pottery. Advice we got from a previous tour guide, the house all the way at the back at the water. The lady there is super friendly and the real deal to making potteries.

    Wild stuff and great deals. I got a huge buffalo with a man riding on it for $30, some beautiful coffee cups and a vase too! Must see if you have a few days in Hoi An

    A lovely walk around the pottery village. Looking at all the families work and seeing the kilns. Well worth the time. Also the park with the mini monuments is cool.

    Interesting boat ride to visit here. Still not fully functioning post covid .... Allowed to try our own artistic ability on the potter's wheel. Nice family business.

    Have a Good time to walk around the pottery village. I spent 30 min walk back to the old town along the river during evening, and there was a beautiful sun dawn view.

  • 5/5 Thy T. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing place, we got a chance to learn pottery in 30min . Very fun experience!

  • 5/5 Mary Evelyn C. 9 months ago on Google
    This was a great short trip away from Hoi An. It was a short bike ride. Entrance ticket was 35K, and that includes free pottery making instruction at various houses and 2 pottery whistles. I bought several cases for gifts, and 5 medium sized vases were 330K dong, which was an incredible deal! Make sure to weave the smaller streets and stop for tea!

    If you're staying in Hoian, Thanh Ha Pottery Village is a little excursion that's less than 10 minutes taxi ride away and a lovely way to spend a couple hours. What a treat to meander through this charming village and be welcomed into the homes of the potters to get a glimpse of their work and life. Some even invited us to try wheel throwing the traditional way! A wonderful trip to do with kids. There were fun add on activities such as pottery painting.

    A nice relaxing activity while in Hoi An. It’s worth visiting and you can get a little free gift at one of 3 designated shops. It was a little underwhelming but still enjoyable and relaxing. I went alone so perhaps with a local or guide it would’ve been a bit more exciting/interesting? I really recommend going on a sunny day ~

    A very small village dedicated to promoting pottery skills and products that provided livelihood to this entire village. Pottery making is free to try in most of the shops here but you may be hassle to buy their products to support them. So do choose a shop that suits your taste and budget first before indulging into the "free" pottery making experience 😁 Oh, bring along mosquitoes repellent!

    Tourist point, but fun to explore. You got souvenir at the end of your trip there ( a small animal statute). You can experience in making pottery too. Ticket is cheap, parking lot around (5,000vnd/1)

  • 5/5 Victoria N. 8 months ago on Google
    Very cheap ticket price, with the ability to exchange for items that were handmade. My sister and I went there and we got a bunch of gifts in return. A nice morning visit and activity if you want to run away from the crowd in the Hoi An's old quarter.

  • 5/5 Lauren J. 8 months ago on Google
    This is a cute morning activity if you want to get out of Hoi An without going too far. It's mostly for tourists, but it is interesting to walk around and chat with the families that make their living from pottery. there's a paid attraction, but it's just a park with a bunch of pottery in different shapes. I didn't go in the paid part and didn't feel like I missed out. Most shops will tell you that you can make a piece for free (key word being make and not take).

    Potteries are cheap there. Pottery making experience is a must do. Drink their coffees and teas too. Quiet village. Entry fee to thr village is VDN120,000 for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids.

    Very pretty pottery village. The artists in their workshops are very welcoming, and they will gladly share some impromptu ceramics lessons. The location next to the river is also particularly beautiful.
