Shanghai Zoo Nanny-Level Travel Guide, This Article is All You Need!

Recently, due to its hardcore style, Shanghai Zoo has been especially popular. I took Coco for our second visit to the Shanghai Zoo this weekend, and I must say, it's definitely worth revisiting. ❤️ Recommended reasons: 👉 The ticket price is a bargain, crying over the 40 yuan/person deal 👉 Convenient transportation, compared to the safari park, the transportation here is really convenient, with direct access by Metro Line 10 👉 The variety of animals is completely suitable for young children, it's really friendly ❤️ Itinerary arrangement: After entering the park, first visit the amphibian and reptile area — goldfish area — ringed penguin — carnivorous animal area (pandas, white tigers, African lions, and Malayan bears) — herbivorous animal area (alpacas, giraffes, zebras, kangaroos, and African elephants, etc.) — primate area 📝 Tips for visiting: 👉 Many online guides suggest visiting the zoo in a counterclockwise direction after entering, but I don't recommend this because there is a sightseeing car in the zoo, which can save a lot of energy for parents, and the sightseeing car doesn't go counterclockwise! 👉 You can quickly visit the amphibian and reptile area, then make sure to take the sightseeing car, 15 yuan/person for adults, and you can get on and off at any stop, which is very cost-effective; 👉 The penguin walk performance is only available at 10:05 on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, so if you want to watch the performance, arrive a bit earlier and wait at the ringed penguin area; 👉 There are many small restaurants and snack bars in the park, but they all sell snacks, so if you enter the park in the morning, be sure to bring your own food; 👉 It is recommended to bring a picnic mat and a moisture-proof mat, as there are several large lawns suitable for picnics, and it's the best place for camping with kids, also great for taking photos; 👉 If you are with young children, it's suggested not to be too greedy in one go, after all, the ticket is quite cheap, so it's okay to visit several times; 👉 If you are driving on the weekend, it's best to arrive before 8 am, as parking spaces are very tight, 8 yuan/hour. ❤️ Amusement park area: 👉 Located in the center of the zoo, next to the Ferris wheel is the "Children's Amusement Park," with slides, feeding lambs; 👉 Next to the abandoned sea lion pavilion (beside the toilet) there are: fishing for goldfish, small parachutes, coffee cups, monkey carts (all very retro), and parent-child horse riding; 👉 Opposite the entrance of the indoor elephant pavilion, there are bumper cars, excavators, Ultraman, and slightly thrilling slides; 👉 The fourth amusement park, after playing, walk 50 meters towards the exit (opposite the chimpanzee pavilion) there are: merry-go-round, small airplanes, mini roller coaster, dolphin boat, etc. 🕙 Business hours: 08:00-18:00 📍 Detailed address: No. 2381 Hongqiao Road, Changning District 🚉 Transportation guide: 🚇 Direct access to Shanghai Zoo Station on Metro Line 10 🚗 There is a parking lot 300 meters west of the Shanghai Zoo entrance at No. 2381 Hongqiao Road 💰 Average cost: 40 yuan/person
