This boat trip would be a good after dinner activity, especially if you have kids. It is inexpensive and could be quite entertaining, if you have not seen so many fireflies.
One possible challenge is to reach the Firefly Park as it is not within walking distance from the city. Taking a taxi would be the most convenient if you do not drive. We booked our ticket online and we reached the park a lot earlier than expected. There are many mosquitoes, so bring your mosquito patches and sprays. About 5 minutes before your scheduled time, you will take a life jacket and board the boat. Each boat could seat about 20-30 pax.
The boat need not travel long distance to see the fireflies. There are some trees which are just beside the river and they are full of fireflies. The whole boat trip is about 45mins. You can buy some fireworks at the park. Not the type where you can shoot up into the sky and it bursts, but some are quite good. We bought 2 types and took turns lighting them up.
Good simple activity for the whole family.
