Duration: 1 day Time: August Per person: 200 yuan With whom: Parent-child The author visited these places: Shanghai Frozen published on 2020-08-18 20:36 Introduction: Which is more maddening, the scorching heat of the sun or the exhaustion of taking care of children? This summer, I can handle both. Don’t believe me? Look at this, Shanghai Baoyan Amusement Park (Chunshen Store) has reopened with over 3000 square meters of indoor playground, meeting all the needs for children’s food, drink, and entertainment in one stop. There are play castles filled with pink ocean balls, thrilling and exciting sliding parks, parent-child restaurants, DIY painting, and more. Whether a little princess or a mischievous child, I believe that the moment they jump into the ocean balls, their excess energy is completely ignited, running and playing, which is the most innocent childhood time. Role-playing in the mini supermarket also allows children to experience being a cashier, from weighing to settlement, to the final scanning of mobile payments, all in one go. It’s evident how carefully children observe when they go shopping with their parents. Unlimited rides on bumper cars are probably the dream of most boys, right? After listening to the coach explain the rules and driving skills, every fire truck, ambulance, and police car is ‘racing’ on the road, with laughter filling the air. Of course, when tired, it’s time to replenish energy. The parent-child restaurant in the park has prepared a variety of delicious foods for the children. In terms of appearance and taste, as the children say, ‘I want to give you a big thumbs up’. Naughty Castle Park, dual responsibility for beauty and fun: The red beetle itself is absolutely the responsibility for cuteness, parked in the pink and white ocean ball world, like a dream castle, unconsciously emitting an attractive charm, regardless of adults and children, let’s enjoy together! Inside the naughty castle, there are two sets of slides on the front and sides, which can basically adapt to children of all ages. Under the careful guidance of the coach, they can all slide down in order and quickly leave the slide after arriving, which is a rule that is quite good. The beetle castle can be entered through a rotating staircase and a net rope. Transparent rotating slides, super long polka dot slides, and regular slides, each one satisfies the children’s desire to rush to the ocean balls. Come and have a ball throwing battle with Xiaoyi, with high morale and not losing the girl’s heart of the old mother. Both posing and capturing are equally wonderful. When I hold the phone, I also need to ‘watch’ the sudden attack of the naughty child’s ocean ball, and then run away with a big laugh. There are also ‘Peng Peng collisions’ in the ocean balls. Wear the transparent inflatable rolling ball, pass the arm through the safety belt, and have a collision race with friends under the premise of ensuring safety. The little friends still need someone to help.
Slide paradise, screaming is not foul. The group of slides of various sizes and different thrills is the focus of the park. The 45-degree blue screaming slide. The initial vertical drop really requires courage and only by letting out a scream is it possible! The four-year-old child, due to being slightly shorter in height, cannot play for safety reasons, which is quite a pity. But the old mother had a great time. However, Xiao Yi was not disappointed by this. He was very interested in the four green slides next to it. When sliding for the first time, he was not brave enough and needed the old mother to hold him and slide. Then it was ‘time to let go’. After that, he went up and down continuously seven or eight times. He wanted to experience every slide. Even if he was out of breath from climbing the stairs, he still wanted to enjoy the thrill of a sudden slide. I sat next to the slide and counted. Running up and down again and again, Xiao Yi was really enjoying these four sets of slides. With this physical strength, I think he will definitely be a material for an athlete in the future. On both sides and below the slides, there are many hidden mechanisms, creating a safe and fun exploration world for children. The space is also quite friendly to adults, enough to stretch out and accompany playing and taking pictures. For example, this set of ‘piano keys’, as long as you step on it gently, the speaker next to it can emit the tones of ‘do-re-mi’. While playing, it can also cultivate children’s sense of music. Various ‘hidden mechanisms’ are waiting for children to explore in different ways. You can swing like on a swing or choose difficult movements to test your body’s flexibility. As accompanying parents, we only need to quietly capture these wonderful moments for the children. Role-playing area, quite lifelike. The small supermarket and small kitchen are Xiao Yi’s favorite places. As a Virgo little boy, I don’t know if he will become a chef in the future. Haha. Here, children can experience a simulated mini-version supermarket and restaurant. From shopping in the supermarket to cooking at home, it’s all in one go, and the delicious meal can be served immediately. A little boy who seems to be a little younger than Xiao Yi is pushing a shopping cart and carefully selecting his favorite fruits and vegetables. Then he picks up meat, fish, eggs, and milk. It’s really lifelike. If it weren’t for fearing to disturb his work, I really want to ask what delicious food he is going to cook tonight. There are too many customers this time. The cashier Xiao Yi said, ‘There are too many things bought.’ The pressure is really not small. After selecting the ingredients, Xiao Yi returns to the small kitchen and starts cooking in a hurry. Pouring oil into the frying pan for a while, boiling water with the kettle for a while, and washing vegetables in the sink for a while. What delicious food is he making? I sit aside and wait patiently. The old mother orders a sandwich. Looking at it, it seems that I can eat it. Xiao Yi imitates the way we usually make sandwich breakfast at home. Two slices of toast bread, plus fried eggs, lettuce, and ham slices. It’s really made quite lifelike. The old mother is very touched by this.
The sand pool experience area, with its simple yet beloved pure white sand grains, could easily be mistaken for rice grains at a glance. Clean and hygienic, the pool is filled with beach toys that kept our little one engaged for a whole hour. In the hot summer, when the beach is not a convenient option, Baoyan Amusement Park’s sand pool can fulfill all the desires of children. Playing with their mothers, they couldn’t be happier. A ‘white sand rain’ comes their way, leaving them covered in white. However, it’s important to remind the children not to throw sand at others. With their eyes squinted, they bury themselves, fully utilizing their imagination and the tools at hand to create different shapes. Some like this, others like that, they pair up and work together, forming a small team busy with their creations.
In the joyful trampoline area, the inflated trampoline area is equipped with many punching columns for children to kick and punch as they please. Underneath, the mischievous ones transform into boxing experts, showing no mercy. Climbing up leads to a transparent tunnel that connects to a rest area, complete with lazy sofas, plush toys of all sizes, cloth books, and puzzle tracks. After playing for so long, our little one was indeed tired and could take a well-deserved rest.
The mechanical entertainment area brings outdoor amusements indoors with bumper cars, pirate ships, and carousels that can be enjoyed unlimited times. Previously, when we took our little one to large amusement parks, the most popular attractions were always bumper cars, small trains, and carousels. However, there was always an exceptionally long queue! The patience of the children would be exhausted by the wait, but today at Baoyan Amusement Park, they truly experienced the freedom of riding. Our little one’s favorite was the bumper cars, fulfilling his desire to drive and control the steering wheel. Seeing his satisfied expression while driving was extremely proud.
The parent-child restaurant offers a variety of options that cater to taste buds, with lunch and dinner available at reasonable prices. Spaghetti Bolognese, thin-crust pizza, and fries are all favorites of our little one, along with a freshly squeezed watermelon juice that was consumed before we could even take a photo. On the day of our visit, there happened to be a princess’s birthday party with a Frozen theme, meticulously decorated and full of childlike wonder. There were also humorous birthday dances with employees and large mascots, as well as free roams in the park, leaving the birthday girl and her friends with plenty of memories.
In the DIY area, ‘my creation, my rule’ applies to painting and Lego, which are definitely the children’s favorites. No matter what shape it is, as long as they are engaged in the activity, that’s enough—this is the requirement of a ‘Buddha-like’ mother. There’s also a parent benefit: free nail services, although you may need to wait in line when it’s busy. The amusement of the children and the comfort of the parents—Baoyan Amusement Park is a win-win situation.
Precaution 1: Non-slip socks are required throughout the visit.
Prepare mid-calf socks for both adults and children to prevent falls and slips (non-slip socks are available for purchase at the park for 10 yuan per pair); 2. Long-sleeved shirts and long pants are essential for sliding. These prevent bruises and abrasions when both adults and children enjoy the slides together. Ice sleeves can be brought for easy switching. It is advised that girls avoid wearing dresses or bring leggings to play without worries; 3. No outside food is allowed, but the parent-child restaurant will satisfy your taste buds. Water is permitted and it is crucial for children to stay well-hydrated. Store information tips: The park’s operating hours are from 9:30 AM to 8:30 PM, with a ticket price of 199 yuan for one adult and one child.
