79%Baby-Friendly

What makes it 79% Baby-Friendly: Babies enter free and parents find stroller rental, nursing rooms and many shaded rest stops, but long outdoor distances, loud animal sounds and summer heat can tire infants, so plan breaks and bring sun protection.

Positives:

  • Free child admission: Children under 1.3 m enter free with each paying adult.
  • Stroller-friendly paths: Wide, flat walkways and stroller parking at bus stops make moving around easy.
  • Baby care facilities: Most restrooms have changing tables and nursing rooms are marked with “母婴室” signs.

Challenges:

  • Long walking distances: The park covers 378 acres—bring a fully charged phone to navigate and plan rest stops.
  • Showtime crowds: Popular performances fill up fast—arrive 10 minutes early to find baby-friendly seating.
  • Limited shaded seating: Benches near exhibits are scarce; carry a small travel blanket for extra comfort.

Probably the best animal park I’ve ever been too. The area is huge and all the animals have enough space and treated well. I like that there’s specific time when you can feed the animals like flamingos or giraffes. And, they can rest from people in between. Not recommended in August, as it’s really hot, like really really hahaha There’s also a food court.

This visit was definitely worth it. The zoo is beautiful, and you can easily spend 5-6 hours there, as time flies by. Be aware that some activities, such as feeding the animals, cost extra. However, these unique experiences are a great addition.

Shanghai Wild Animal Park was clean and well- run. We visited in the first week of June, fortunately avoiding the student crowd ( national exams are from 6- 10 June)! You can purchase tickets using Trip.com. There are many opportunities to feed animals for around 20- 30 Rmb/pax. There is a snow city and circus in the compound, though we did not manage to visit. Separate tickets required.

Absolutely amazing experience there. So much more fun than the Shanghai Zoo, so would recommend this place if you opt to choose. The pandas there were so lazy and funny to watch. The place a huge, and you can choose the bus tour into the Wild Animal zone, as well as a ferry tour on the lake. The scenes are breathtaking at sunset too.

There so many attractions for the little ones. We already ride and washed elephants i...
