Duration: 1 day. Time: December. Per capita cost: 200 yuan. With whom: Parent-child. Play methods: Independent travel, weekend tour. The author visited these places: Shanghai. Published on December 11, 2020, 16:22. In winter in Shanghai, there are very few outdoor activities suitable for children to experience. Since children study so hard on weekdays, they still need to find a paradise to relax on weekends! If you can have close contact with cute pets, play in the slide park and also play in the water, doesn’t it sound great? That’s right. In fact, there is really such a magical paradise in Shanghai, a one-stop parent-child experience. It is the Baoyan Paradise Flagship Store. A large indoor paradise with an area of about 20,000 square meters. It has the unique four-season constant temperature water park in Shanghai (five-star project). Moreover, it has the first large outdoor grass skiing project in Shanghai. There are also cute pet paradise, slide park, naughty castle paradise, building block world. You can also ride horses in the roof garden. There are many projects. My route design: Feeding in the cute pet paradise – Riding and grass skiing in the roof amusement park – Surfing and swimming in the indoor constant temperature swimming pool (five-star project) – Slide park (90-degree vertical slide, the game for the brave) – Naughty castle paradise – Building block world, etc. In December, it is the Christmas season. Baoyan Paradise also provides lottery activities for tourists entering the park. There are many surprises and unlimited happiness. Admission tips: 1. The paradise has a parent-child changing room. Remember to bring swimming pool changing clothes. Bring a towel to dry your body. The paradise has slippers available in all sizes. 2. The temperature of the constant temperature water park is around 37 degrees. Under the temperature difference between inside and outside, the lenses of glasses-wearing partners will fog up. The same is true for cameras. You can prepare a handkerchief to wipe it. 3. Long sleeves and long pants are needed to prevent scratches when playing on the slide. Of course, this is not a problem in winter. In addition, anti-slip socks are also needed for experiencing projects. The paradise also sells them. 4. For outdoor places, grass skiing and other activities have fixed times and are free. If you go, it is recommended to check the time first before playing to avoid missing it. 5. Now there is horse riding outdoors. It is recommended to experience it first. 6. Wear a dedicated wristband. You can enter and exit the park multiple times. The wristband is for personal use only. I have also visited Baoyan Paradise before. This time! I came here for the four-season constant temperature water park, cute pet paradise, grass skiing and horse riding. The water park and cute pet paradise close relatively early. The roof outdoor places are also more suitable for playing during the day. So experience these items first. As Christmas approaches, the festival atmosphere is strong. There are all kinds of Christmas decorations in the paradise which are very beautiful. Let’s get to the point! Here we come to the cute pet paradise at the first stop: The cute pet paradise is located on the first floor and requires separate payment. When entering, there will be hand washing, disinfection and temperature measurement, which are very in place. Because you will have close contact with small animals, you will wear dedicated gloves according to the size of the child. You can buy fish food, carrots and other foods to feed the small animals. The small animals are super lively.
We purchased a bag of carrots to feed the rabbits, golden hamsters, and groundhogs, these adorable creatures. Upon entering, the first animals we saw were the alpacas, which were quite docile and didn’t spit at people. In the winter, their fur looks incredibly warm, making one want to touch it. The little rabbits, upon seeing food, rushed up to grab it. There were also reptiles like lizards and turtles, making it a miniature zoo, with many ornamental fish and goldfish ponds as well. For feeding birds, there is specific bird food available, with finches and parrots that are quite tame, their eyes turning round and round. The meerkats huddled together for warmth were just too cute! A group of them huddled together, and when one was awakened by the noise, it turned to look at me, almost making my daughter scream like a groundhog. Next to them were groundhogs, with a small device that allows one to get close to feed them, watching the groundhogs jump around, I felt a bit mischievous. Inside, there were also raccoons, cats, and hedgehogs, with a rich variety of cute pets. A crowd gathered around to feed the small guinea pigs, proving that the miniatures are indeed the most popular. It is estimated that the pet paradise will take 1-2 hours to experience and interact with.
Second stop, the rooftop playground: We then proceeded to the rooftop playground, as these activities have specific time slots and are more suitable for daytime play. The grass sliding is officially open from 16:45 to 17:30 in the afternoon. On a good day, children will run around there, making it look like a large slide. When it officially opens, staff will bring operation tools, and only children can play. If they want to try again after playing, they will have to line up again. It’s free, so be brave and go for it. Horse riding is also highly recommended. Older children can ride larger ones, and there are smaller ones suitable for younger children. They are all gentle, and with riding gear and protection, let the horse trainers lead you around the field for a handsome experience. This activity requires separate payment. The remaining activities have more flexible opening times, with dinosaurs that can make noises and small trains that are worth looking forward to. If you’re lucky, you might even encounter a clown on stilts giving out balloons.
Third stop, the year-round constant temperature water park: After finishing the rooftop garden tour, you can immediately head to the year-round constant temperature water park for some water fun!!! The 3rd and 4th floors are dedicated to this. This is the main attraction of our visit, available all year round, especially in winter when outdoor water parks are closed, this one remains open, so there’s no need to worry about children catching a cold after playing. The temperature is kept around 37 degrees, which is very comfortable. There are parent-child changing rooms, making it more convenient to change clothes. They sell swimsuits here, provide slippers, and there are shower and restroom facilities, so just bring an extra towel. There are lockers available for a fee of 10 yuan.
Water slides are suitable for both adults and children. My sister and I have played on them many times. This is the most worthwhile place as outdoor ones are not open now. There are also hot spring massage pools, children’s paddling pools, and swimming pools. My sister didn’t want to come out of the water park. Usually, she is not very brave to enter the standard swimming pool because she is only a beginner in breaststroke and not very proficient. But here, the pool is very shallow, the water is clean, and parents can watch at any time, so the safety is relatively high. Slide Paradise – Dynamic VR Paradise: After coming out of the water park, go to the first floor to play on the slides. If you haven’t had enough of the water slides just now, there are various types of slides waiting for you here. Slide Paradise is another main project of Baoyan. The characteristic project inside is the 90-degree vertical slide. In summer, children should be told to wear long sleeves and long pants. Now in winter, there is no need to remind. People wear relatively thick clothes and can avoid scratches. The 90-degree vertical slide can test one’s courage. You need to wear special protective clothing to slide. We adults are instantly timid when seeing it, but children are very brave to play. As expected, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. There are staff on site to guide how to play, so there is no need to worry about safety. At the 45-degree slide, there are more people playing. A little boy even came to guide my sister and said, ‘Little sister, let me slide first to show you.’ Then we watched him slide down quickly in standard posture with our mouths open. There are also rainbow slides and various slides with diverse choices. Of course, in addition to slides, there are also some exploration areas. If you are timid about slides, change to something else to play. There are 5D cinemas and VR cinemas. Just check the showtimes and go to play. The fourth stop: Naughty Castle Paradise + Building Block Paradise + Parent-Child Restaurant + Amusement Park: When children are playing, mothers can go for a manicure. Here, there are baby rooms and baking rooms. If you want to play, there is also happy amusement. Of course, there is an additional charge here. There are naughty castle slides, ocean balls, and rock climbing. My child likes to bury herself in ocean balls and let me find her. Who can’t be a three-year-old baby? Trampolines, building block paradises, and these are all available. Every time I come to Baoyan, I can enjoy eating, drinking, and having fun all at once. It’s especially exciting. Finally, there is a place to play with water in winter. After the whole journey, everyone must be hungry. Fortunately, there is also a restaurant here. I want to praise the parent-child restaurant here. It’s on the second floor. The taste is getting better and better each time. This time I ordered Italian spaghetti, salted crispy chicken and chicken wings. The chicken wings are highly praised! They are very large and the meat is very tender. The ingredients are substantial, and the price is similar to that outside.
A delightful experience to enjoy and return for more. Park Information: 1. You can claim free parking for the first 4 hours; charges apply at 6 yuan per hour for every hour exceeding the initial 4 hours. 2. Store address: No. 11, Lane 3825, Dushi Road, Minhang District, Shanghai.
