The Ba Na Hills After Glow Show has quickly become the most talked-about nightlife entertainment in Da Nang. This immersive cabaret experience officially debuted on July 16, 2025, bringing a splash of European flair to the mountains. Located inside the Secret Box within the Beer Plaza Restaurant, it combines international artist performances with a themed dining and show combo.
Whether you are looking for adult-only entertainment in Vietnam or a multi-sensory art show, this production offers a unique way to spend an evening at an altitude of 1,487 meters.
Show Times and Schedule for the After Glow Cabaret
When I plan a trip to the summit, timing is everything. The After Glow show runs twice a day, so you have two distinct ways to experience the magic. The afternoon session starts at 1:30 PM and wraps up by 2:00 PM. This is a great sample of the energy if you are just visiting for the day. However, if you want the full vibe, I highly recommend the evening performance from 6:30 PM to 7:00 PM.
Keep in mind that the cabaret show has a weekly break. It stays dark every Tuesday, so don’t book your trip for that day if this show is your priority! I always suggest getting to the Beer Plaza at least 10 minutes before the curtain rises. This gives you time to find your seat and settle in with a welcome drink.
Ticket Prices and Booking Options for the After Glow Show
I found that the pricing for the cabaret show is quite flexible depending on how much of a “royal” experience you want. Here is a breakdown of the combos available:
- Combo 1 (La Petite Tentation): This is the entry-level pick. For 100,000 VND, you get your seat, a welcome drink, and one cocktail.
- Combo 2 (La Tentation Élégante): At 250,000 VND, this includes the drinks plus a set of three dishes. It’s a nice neutral middle ground for most visitors.
- Combo 3 (Le Péché Royal): For 600,000 VND, you get the full VIP treatment. This includes the drinks, the three-dish set, a meat-based main dish, and a glass of wine.
If you are looking for a deal, I have some good news. Between September 27 and December 31, 2025, the 1:30 PM show is actually free for adults! Also, if you buy a Ba Na Hills Night Ticket (which usually costs 1,000,000 VND), the show is already included along with your buffet dinner and free beers. You can grab these tickets at the entrance of Beer Plaza or via the official Ba Na Hills website.
Locating the Secret Box: A Guide to the Venue within Beer Plaza
Finding the venue is easy once visitors know which entrance to use, as access changes depending on the time of day.
Before 6:00 PM, visitors should enter through Ba Na Brew House, which is located close to Beer Plaza Restaurant. From there, an underground tunnel leads directly to the Secret Box.
After 6:00 PM, access is simpler. Visitors can enter directly through Beer Plaza Restaurant, then go downstairs to the lowest floor where the Secret Box is located. Staff are usually available to guide guests if needed.
In terms of cable car routes, Toc Tien Waterfall Station and Champa Station are the most convenient options. These routes shorten walking time and bring visitors closer to the French Village area. While you are exploring the summit, you should see the best things at the peak to make sure you don’t miss any of the Ba Na highlights before the show starts.
The After Glow Experience: What to Expect Inside the Show
I love how this show isn’t just a simple dance routine. It is a multi-sensory art show that feels like a trip back in time. The After Glow Show inspired by Marie Antoinette, so the costumes follow Rococo style—think big wigs, corsets, and lots of gold.
The 360-degree stage is a game-changer. No matter where you sit, you are part of the action. You will see a mix of transgender Miss Thailand contestants and world-class dancers. The story is led by a Royal Jester named Lovelark, and the energy is incredibly high. I like the “Secret Box” concept because it makes the performance feel intimate, even though the talent is stadium-level. It’s a demo of how modern theater can work in a theme park.
Essential Rules and Visitor Requirements
Before you get too excited, I have to mention the most important rule: you must be 18 years old to enter the Secret Box. Since this is a cabaret, the content is designed for adults. I don’t like seeing families get turned away at the door, so please plan accordingly! While children can sit in the general Beer Plaza area, they aren’t allowed inside the “Secret Box” theater itself.
The food is another big part of the night. The Royal cuisine served during the show is top-notch. If you aren’t on a buffet plan, you can order from the Ba Na 1901 Restaurant menu. The meat-based main dish in the Royal Combo is usually the highlight. Also, the atmosphere is cool and fresh because of the elevation, so even though the show is hot, the mountain air keeps things comfortable.
Maximizing Your Visit: Combining the Show with Ba Na Hills Attractions
I think the best way to see the cabaret show is to make a full day (and night) of it. I usually start my afternoon at the Golden Bridge. Since the Bridge connects to the French Village, it’s a natural path.
I suggest visiting during the dry season from February to September. The sunny days make the breath-taking sceneries look even better in photos. If you wait until 3:00 PM to enter, you can use the Ba Na By Night combo, which is the most cost-effective way to see the show. You get the cable car ride, the buffet, and the Cabaret show experience all for one price.
FAQs about the After Glow Show
Is there a dress code?
I usually wear “smart casual.” It’s a nice show, so I like to dress up a little, but there is no strict rule.
Can I take photos?
Yes, but I recommend enjoying the performance with your own eyes—the lighting in the Secret Box is part of the art!
Is the show included in the standard entry ticket?
No, you usually need to pay the 100,000 VND fee or have a special night pass. Also read the full post about Ba Na entry ticket in 2026 on our website.
