I don’t know what we were thinking. Besides being quite expensive I've never seen so many dead and wounded animals. The place was dirty, many animals looked sad in rather small exclosures. There's shit everywhere and dirty water. There's a dead turtle and tons of dead fish in the aquariums. The hamster things had wounds all over them. Stay away.

Not the best experience. The place is more for the Chinese visitors from countryside who have never been to a big city. The smell is not good. Animals are held under very poor conditions.

My kids loved seeing everything without any problem. When we entered we tho...
