I visited Haichang for the second time and stayed in the Mermaid Family Room. I was lucky enough to stay in a room with courtesy, which was very good. The package included 2-day tickets and breakfast for 2 adults and 1 child. I still have to make up for the time difference during the summer vacation. I went to the restaurant before 8 o'clock to avoid queuing. I had no problem eating full, and it was easy to add dishes. Take-out was also very convenient. Overall, I was satisfied!
Summer vacation is a must! One of the children's favorite paradises, I have to go several times a year! One day is not enough to play! Every show is very careful, the fish is beautiful, the dolphin is amazing, the killer whale is cute, it is really worth a visit!

We want to the Pharaonic antiquities and Chinese antiquities، it was more than pleasant. We finished the museum in 4 hours, it’s pretty big. I even had an issue with a worker, there supervisor came and they handled the situation very good. I recommended every one who comes to Shanghai at least try to go to one museum and this one, is one of the best.
Can't go to Egypt, Shanghai is still able to go, overall it's okay, very interesting, completely different cultures, but indeed, not to blame many people questioning Egyptian history, some exhibits are not as exquisite as thousands of years ago

Queuing for appointment: I made an appointment for the ticket in advance 🎫, and the door opened at 9:30 in the morning. We have already had a lot of people in line. There are still a lot of people on Tuesday working days. After entering the door, I went directly to the negative first floor to make an appointment for riding the planet. I can only make an appointment on the spot, and I have to enter children below 1.2 meters. It’s not about age. Many of these online have not been updated. We have not given it when we exceed the height. It’s enough to visit the exhibition for two to three hours. I made an appointment to explain otherwise too children can’t understand [smiling face]
There are a lot of people in the planetarium. The narrator explained well but it was too fast. For the audience who came to visit for the first time, some knowledge points will not keep up, and there is no reminder that you have to make an appointment for some programs in the museum. This product is very expensive to sell, mainly explain the cost of service? The planetarium is worth a few more brushes.

The Shanghai Safari Park package is really super cost-effective, and the children like it very much. Includes all animals that can be fed in the garden. If each individual feeding ticket costs 30 yuan per person, tigers, lions, elephants, giraffes, alpacas, brown bears, capybara, flamingos, etc., each package can give a food, Adults can buy one to interact with their children or buy one to let the children in by themselves.
A day of walking around Shanghai Wild Animal Park is a great value experience: Hundreds of little guys on Lemur Island are hanging upside down to beg for peanuts, and their soft and cute little paws can instantly heal your palms; watch red pandas stroll past you on the wooden plank road above your head, and their furry tails sweep over your head to make you feel cute; the 50-yuan beast feeding car is ten times more enjoyable than the free bus - brown bears flutter at the window, and tigers walk so close that you can't breathe! Bring your own carrots to feed the swans and peanuts to feed the lemurs to save money on feed, and lunch under the shade of the trees with a picnic mat is super comfortable. The best way to save time is to rush to the beast area + free sea lion show at 9 am, and take photos of the flamingo pink sea and the red panda trestle

The location is very good, just next to the Lujiazui three-piece suit and the Oriental Pearl, and there are many places to eat around. The marine life in the aquarium is very rich, especially the 150-meter sightseeing tunnel is very good. I don't know if the route is wrong and I didn't see the unique fish museum in China.
Shanghai Ocean Aquarium is awesome! The venue is oversized, from the Yangtze River basin to the deep sea wonders, and the exhibition area planning is super careful. The lighting of the jellyfish palace is beautiful to suffocate, the moment the big shark swims overhead is super shocking, and the cute penguins are swaying and super healing. The staff explained the details and there were many interactive experiences. Bringing the baby to play for most of the day, and the adults also saw it with relish. It was definitely worth a visit!

Brilliant 100% worth the money and would highly recommend.
The views from this height are of course beautiful, but you need to go in clear weather. The climb up is really the fastest in the world. And so in general we just ticked off that we went up to the tower. We also went to the Dampher show on the 126th floor - it was not impressive, it is better not to waste money and time. Nothing special.

Trip.com A few more dollars, you can make an appointment directly online to pick up the ticket, it is very convenient, you don't have to rush to the scene to change the ticket. On the Bund side, it is worth a night tour, it looks more ordinary during the day.
The scenery of Shanghai Huangpu River in summer is very beautiful. The Huangpu River is the mother river of Shanghai, which runs through Shanghai, dividing Shanghai into Pudong and Puxi. The banks of the Huangpu River in summer are shaded by trees, the river is sparkling and the scenery is pleasant. In addition, the boat shuttle on the Huangpu River, the bridge on the river, forming a beautiful picture.

I booked the first ticket, there were not many people, so that the child could experience the fastest elevator in the world. The visibility was very good that day and I saw it far from high. The damper is to be paid for separately. There is a light show, which is very interesting. The children think it is very interesting to dance with the laser. But I feel quite expensive to add 88 yuan to the already not cheap fare to see the damper.
The hotel selected is very important. Shanghai Xinmei Garden Hotel, the health is OK, clean and convenient, the stay is added to the daisy WeChat, and also sent small snacks. There are three-piece sets around, the Oriental Pearl, and it is very pleasant to take a walk outside in the evening to blow the evening breeze. Just a few minutes walk.

Very cool show! I recommend it to everyone! Multimedia, exciting, amazing special effects, touching of heart and immersion in history - very educational and touching. We were delighted and left with wonderful impressions! Be sure to go to the show, you won't regret it!
Great. 1-7 floor, full of programs, the kind of 😂 atmosphere that can't catch up with the food market is awesome! The children are very happy! The ancient love at night is very shocking and very good. The important thing is said three times, very good, very good. The service staff is beautiful and friendly 🥰 Unfortunately, the video recording is too short, less than 5 seconds, can not be uploaded, that does not affect my love for her 🤩
