For Kids
Shanghai isn't exactly at the top of most kids' holiday wish lists, but the new
Disney theme park in Pudong (estimated completion date 2015) will no doubt
improve its standing. In the meantime, if you're passing through the city with
children, the following sights will keep the family entertained.
In addition to the sights listed below, check out these other possibilities online: Happy Val-
ley ( sh.happyvalley.cn ) , Dino Beach ( www.64783333.com ) , Science & Technology Museum
( www.sstm.org.cn ) and the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium ( www.sh-aquarium.com ) . Bus tours are a
good option for getting around the city.
Top Tips
In general, 1.4m is the cut-off height for children's tickets. Children under 0.8m normally get in for free.
The popularity of kids' attractions everywhere peaks on holidays and weekends, but in China, 'crowded' takes on
a new meaning. Try to schedule your visits for weekdays if possible.
