Duration: 1 day. Time: July. Per capita cost: 150 yuan. With whom: Parent-child. Play style: Independent travel, weekend tour. The author visited these places: Baoyan Paradise (flagship store), Shanghai. Posted on July 14, 2020, 21:49. Summer vacation is here. The mythical beasts that have just returned to the ‘cage’ not long ago have become the Monkey King again at home, full of energy. Parents start racking their brains again. Where should they take their naughty kids to escape the summer heat in the scorching summer? In my opinion, theme amusement parks are one of the best places for taking kids out. During this period, I have been taking Yuanbao to various amusement parks. If we talk about the most fun indoor paradise in Shanghai, the flagship store of Baoyan Paradise must be on the list. It integrates slide paradise, building block paradise, water park, naughty castle paradise, petting zoo paradise and so on. There are also parent-child restaurants, baking classrooms and so on to choose from. It solves multiple needs of families for taking kids out, including eating, drinking, playing, having fun and learning in one stop. Last week, I took Yuanbao to play in Baoyan Paradise for almost a whole day. From the rainbow slide to the naughty castle, from the constant temperature water park to the outdoor climbing nets and merry-go-round, the rich and colorful projects made Yuanbao reluctant to leave. Looking at his innocent happy smile, I also seem to return to childhood. Yes, I am also eager to challenge the nearly vertical slide of 90 degrees. It’s extremely exciting. Once you slide down, you will fall in love with it. Not to mention the rainbow slide in the indoor constant temperature water park. The water splashes everywhere. This is the refreshing and enjoyable summer! Transportation information: Baoyan Paradise (flagship store) address: No. 11, Lane 3825, Dushi Road, Minhang District, Shanghai. Subway travel: Get off at Yindu Road on Line 5 and exit from Exit 2. But it’s a bit of a walk, about 15 minutes. Self-driving: The parking lot of Baoyan is free for 4 hours. If it exceeds 4 hours, it is 6 yuan per hour. Preparations before the trip: 1. Long-sleeved clothes and long pants: For the purpose of protecting the skin, both adults and children need to wear long-sleeved clothes and long pants to play on the slides on the first floor. There are no exceptions. There are staff to check. If you really don’t have a long-sleeved top, there are free sleeves available on site. 2. Socks: You need to change shoes when entering the play area, and you cannot be barefoot. Adults and children need to wear socks. It’s the same in summer. If you don’t bring them by accident, there are also socks for sale in the park. 3. Swimsuits and bath towels: You need to wear swimsuits to play in the water park. There are slippers inside, but there are no towels. Towels and bath towels need to be brought by yourself. There are swimsuits and swimming rings for sale in the small store outside the water park. If you really don’t bring them, you can also buy them on site. 4. Kids sweat easily. Bring a set of comfortable and convenient clothes for replacement. Admission information: 1. Ticket purchase: There are many channels to buy tickets for Baoyan Paradise. Many OTA platforms sell them. But the most favorable way is to follow the official account or mini program of ‘Baoyan Paradise’. 380 yuan for one adult and one child, and 480 yuan for two adults and one child.
2. Bag Storage and Shoe Changing: Baoyan has three bag storage areas, located at the shoe-changing areas on the first and second floors and in the changing rooms of the water park on the third and fourth floors. The changing rooms on the third and fourth floors also have parent-child changing rooms, avoiding the extremely inconvenient problem of traditional changing rooms when mothers bring male babies and fathers bring female babies. 3. The business hours of Baoyan Amusement Park are divided into summer and non-summer periods. From July 1 to the end of August, the business hours of Baoyan Amusement Park are adjusted to summer business hours, from 9:30 to 20:30. The business hours of the water park are from 11:00 to 18:00. Play Guide First floor: Slide Paradise – Petting Zoo – Dynamic VR Paradise The first floor is a slide paradise composed of colorful slides. There are both rainbow slides that children like and the terrifying 90-degree vertical devil slide. I dared to experience it. Wearing special clothes, I slid down vertically at 90 degrees from a height of 7.3 meters. Taking a deep breath, it was just like the feeling of a drop tower. It was so exciting. It was like traveling back to childhood in an instant. There was a father on the scene who couldn’t get enough after playing once. Originally, he came to play with his child, but in the end, he had a great time himself. Yuanbao is a slide fan. The last time he came to Baoyan Amusement Park, he was just over two years old and could only experience the ordinary rainbow slide. This time, he has the courage to challenge the 45-degree blue ocean ball slide. He is very calm and extremely happy. He probably played it about a dozen or twenty times… The rainbow corridor is very safe. In addition to the slide paradise on the first floor, there is also a 5D cinema and a dynamic VR paradise. Wearing VR glasses, I experienced a roller coaster in the clouds. How should I put it? It was truly immersive. In addition, there is also a petting zoo that is deeply loved by children. There are fluffy and cute alpacas and meerkats that look very similar to aliens in shape. The immersive indoor landscaping allows children to feel a vibrant animal world. Second floor: Naughty Castle Paradise – Building Block Paradise – Amusement Park On the second floor, the first thing that catches the eye is the huge naughty castle. The ground is covered with yellow and white ocean balls, and red and white slides are interspersed among them. The colorful colors are like a colorful fairy tale world. The naughty castle is always favored by children. They crawl and roll in the world of ocean balls and slides. The layout of the rope net tribe is very similar to being on a tropical island. Hammocks and swings are full of vacation style. The trampoline is reasonably divided into several trampoline areas. Children can play in their respective areas, which to a certain extent avoids many potential safety hazards. The building block area is located in the middle area of the second floor. The colorful building blocks can be transformed into infinite shapes. They can not only exercise children’s hand-eye coordination ability but also help children establish the concept of numbers and spatial perception ability.
In the amusement park, bumper cars are probably loved by all children. The cartoon-shaped car body is cute and interesting, and it tests the coordination of direction. The collisions of bumper cars can also let children understand the mutuality of force. On the second floor, there is also a baking classroom. Children interested in cooking can experience the fun of making small biscuits by themselves on the spot and can also pack and take home the small biscuits they made. Because there are protection facilities everywhere, parents don’t have to follow their children all the time. If the father also comes along, the mother can go to the nail salon in a corner on the second floor and experience free manicures. Third and fourth floors – Four Seasons Constant Temperature Water Park. The indoor four seasons constant temperature water park connected on the third and fourth floors has an area of over 20,000 square meters. It is not afraid of wind and rain, nor is it afraid of severe cold and high temperatures. At least more than 300 tourists can play together. In the sweltering summer vacation, this is simply a holy place for both adults and children to escape the heat and cool off. The rainbow slide in the middle is magnificent. The 5-meter-high and 32-meter-long rainbow slide can experience the fun of a thrilling ride. I swooped down from a height with Yuanbao, and the water splashed everywhere, as if picking up a long-lost childlike innocence. Yuanbao’s favorite is still the pink and lovely lake exploration. There are small slides of different lengths suitable for children to play. See-saws in the water, cute mushrooms, interesting little animals, chubby little teapots, and so on. Constant temperature SPA is suitable for relaxation. Lying lazily in the SPA pool, you can take the opportunity to relieve your fatigue. Fifth floor – Outdoor Experience Park. The fifth floor is mainly an outdoor park. There are not only regular merry-go-rounds, pirate ships, climbing nets, and small trains, but also large outdoor grass skiing. Unfortunately, Magic City is still in the plum rain season recently. It rains from time to time, and the lawn is wet and not open. After coming twice, I still haven’t experienced grass skiing. It seems that I am destined to come back here again. The outdoor park is also a magical kingdom with an animal theme. There are not only life-like stegosaurs, tyrannosaurs, and spinosaurus, but even the merry-go-round is filled with animal elements such as gibbons and zebras. In addition, there is a paid special project – the children’s horse riding area. Children can not only become little knights but also feed carrots to ponies and have a close contact with ponies. Yuanbao’s favorite is the cheerful little train. Accompanied by cheerful music, it passes through the jungle and caves and has ridden back and forth several times. Delicious Food. Since most parents bring their children to Baoyan Amusement Park and basically play for a whole day, Baoyan Amusement Park also has a rich selection of delicious food. The parent-child western restaurant on the second floor has an elegant environment and bright colors. There are fast food and set meals. There are also delicious juices, suitable for Chinese food and afternoon tea, so you can get energy replenishment quickly.
On the first floor, Baoyan Seafood Processing Market offers a variety of fresh seafood such as abalone, bread crab, and razor clams. There is even Australian lobster available for purchase and on-site processing, offering delicious and affordable meals suitable for the whole family to indulge in after a day of play. The special service of the nursery rest room allows children to take a nap after getting tired from playing, and there is also a meticulously designed birthday room for kids. If you are tired of the traditional birthday celebrations at restaurants, consider celebrating a unique birthday at Baoyan. Spending a wonderful and joyful day at Baoyan Paradise with Yuanbao, this is our second visit here, and it is imaginable that there will definitely be a third and fourth visit in the future. Compared to two years ago, Yuanbao’s expression and action abilities have improved significantly, and he has already started talking about wanting to go to Baoyan Paradise again. A child’s happiness and smile cannot be faked, and I have no doubt that Baoyan Paradise is the fairy tale parade of Yuanbao’s childhood itself.
