The safari zoo is easy to get to from a local metro. We visited on a weekday so the park is not crowded which was good for us. The animals have lots of space to move around considering being in a zoo and they seemed being treated well. The 'tiger safari' is definitely the highlight of the day for us.
Check out Shenzhen Safari Park – the immersive experience is amazing! Upon entering, you're surrounded by a rich variety of flora and fauna. Take a sightseeing bus through the drive-through area and watch the wild animals roam freely; the close-up visual impact is truly breathtaking. In the walking area, you can feed giraffes, interact with adorable animals, and enjoy a variety of exciting animal shows. The park is well-planned, brimming with tropical charm, making for a relaxing and fun visit. Encountering nature right in the city is perfect for a weekend trip with family and friends!
I went with my daughter, and overall it was very fun. The scenery was beautiful, but the public areas were dirty and messy. There were many different kinds of animals, and the kids generally had a lot of fun, especially at the bird area where the service was very considerate, and the kids had a blast. The only problem was that my daughter got hungry in the park, so we ordered her some instant noodles, which were too expensive—18 yuan a bowl! The place where we ate was also very dirty and disorganized.
Shenzhen Wildlife Park is a very worthwhile place to visit. There are many kinds of animals in the park. You must try feeding the tigers. It is recommended to enter the park early. Many animals rest and eat in the afternoon. The performances in the circus and the ocean are very exciting. The giant pandas in the park are chubby and very cute.
Shenzhen Wildlife Park is very large and has a wide variety of animals. Each animal has a sign indicating basic information such as habitat. It is a good place to learn about wild animals and you can feed the animals yourself. Visiting time: one day is recommended Must-see animals: elephants, giraffes, pandas. Transportation: Take Metro Line 7, Xili Lake Station, Exit B.
The animals are free-range and not detained. The service is also very thoughtful. We directly picked up the tour guide map in the gate, and basically visited most of the animals according to the route suggested on the map.
Shenzhen Zoo, a place where humans watch animals but are watched in reverse by animals! The monkeys here will grab your snacks, the giraffe despises you with height, and the hippo yawning can make you doubt your life. The panda uncle lay down and eat bamboo, like you who rotten on the weekend. The most funny thing is that they may suddenly appear a "pai/baby girl", let you in an instant swell! Warm reminder: don't eat in the area, otherwise you will experience what is called "gang robbery". In short, come here not only to see animals, but also to recognize their true position in the food chain!
Shenzhen Zoo is a modern zoo that integrates ecology, science and entertainment, and is deeply loved by tourists. The park has a beautiful environment, shaded by green trees, and rich animal species, from cute pandas, smart giraffes to mighty lions. The venue is scientifically and rationally designed to simulate natural habitats, allowing animals to live comfortably. The staff is professional and enthusiastic, and the explanations are vivid and interesting, especially suitable for parent-child travel, allowing children to learn animal knowledge while playing. The park is clean and tidy, with complete facilities, and convenient dining and rest areas. Whether it is animal display or interactive experience, it is impressive. It is a good place for weekend leisure and worth recommending!
