It is divided into three areas: East, South and North. The main entrance is located in the East Area. The North Area also has the Beijing Aquarium (tickets must be purchased separately).
The park houses rare Chinese animals such as giant pandas, golden monkeys, Siberian tigers, and red-crowned cranes, as well as animals from all over the world such as African chimpanzees, Australian kangaroos, jaguars, and Mexican manatees.
There is also a science museum where you can bring your children to learn about animals. The science museum often holds various science lectures.
The garden is shaded by trees and has a large green area, making it very suitable for outings and parent-child activities. The old Beijing brand "Huguo Temple Snacks" has a branch in the garden, so you can have fun and eat at the same time.

Beijing Zoo was founded in 1906, the 32nd year of Emperor Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty. It is the earliest zoo in China and the one that houses the most species of animals. Beijing Zoo is located outside Xizhimen, and the transportation is very convenient. It can be reached by bus or subway. It takes a whole day to visit the whole zoo. On weekends, the whole park becomes a happy place for children!

I personally think that Beijing Zoo is the most cost-effective and comprehensive zoo in China. Beijing Zoo is one of the earliest zoos in China, with a history of more than 100 years. It is self-evident that the park is large and has a wide variety of animals. This is the most suitable place for children to play, and there is no age limit. While having fun, you can also popularize animal knowledge to children, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Here is a detailed guide to Beijing Zoo:

 

1. The most convenient means of transportation is to take Metro Line 4 and exit at Exit C1, which is the zoo ticket office;

 

2. Ticket price:

 

Tickets: RMB 15, combined ticket (including tickets to the Panda House and Beijing Zoo): RMB 19 (April 1st to October 31st, Monday to Sunday 07:30-18:00);

 

Tickets: RMB 10, combined ticket (including tickets to the Panda House and Beijing Zoo): RMB 14 (November 1st to March 31st of the following year, Monday to Sunday 07:30-17:00);

 

 

Tickets: Beijing Zoo (including Panda House) + Beijing Oceanarium: Adult package 155 yuan, children's package 85 yuan;

 

3. The building area of ​​the park is more than 50,000 square meters, with rhino hall, hippo hall, lion and tiger hall, bear hall, monkey hall, elephant house, antelope hall, giraffe hall, panda hall, marine beast hall, orangutan hall, amphibian hall, songbird hall, small zoo, deer park, etc., exhibiting rare animals such as giant pandas, Siberian tigers, golden monkeys, elks and other representative animal species from all over the world, with a total of more than 490 species and nearly 5,000 animals. It is one of the largest zoos in my country;

 

4. Notes:

 

(1) Children must be accompanied by their parents throughout the trip. When you come across tourist areas such as Bear Mountain and Lion and Tiger Mountain, be sure to pay attention to safety and do not get too close to the front.

 

(2) Do not feed animals at will. Although some animals are omnivorous, this behavior can easily cause illness in animals, which may even be fatal.

 

(3) When children see their favorite or sleeping animals during the tour, they may shout or bang on the glass in excitement. In fact, this is very dangerous because some animals are active at night and rest during the day.

 

(4) When taking photos of animals, try not to use flash photography, as it can irritate the animal’s eyes. If it is a horse, it may get frightened and become angry and hurt people.

 

(5) There is a small animal feeding area in the zoo. Parents can bring their children to feed the animals. Some parents will choose to bring some vegetables from home for their children to feed the animals, but they must ensure that the vegetables are fresh, otherwise it will harm the animals.

The zoo is really a rip-off. I went straight to the zoo after getting off the plane and planned to go to the aquarium, but it was past the ticket exchange time (of course, it was due to the flight delay). After arriving, I was told that the aquarium had to be entered from the north gate of the zoo. So I simply bought a ticket for the zoo. There weren't many animals after entering, probably just monkeys, parrots, and only three pandas in the panda pavilion. Maybe because the weather was too hot, I didn't go to the aquarium afterwards. I'll go there next time if I have the chance.

By Self-help |

The zoo is very beautiful, with many small animals, which are very nice to look at. The small animals have their own way of life and their own small families. Some are playing, some are resting, some are looking for food, etc. When they see people passing by, they sometimes show their specialties, which are very cute, just like children. Each of the houses they live in is different, with different styles. They are clean and sanitary, and the service attitude is also very good. Beijing Zoo was founded in the 32nd year of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1906). It is the earliest zoo in China to open and has the most animal species. Beijing Zoo is located outside Xizhimen, with very convenient transportation and can be reached by bus and subway. It takes a whole day to go around the entire zoo. On weekends, the whole park becomes a happy place for children!

Since my baby was one year old, I have often taken her to the zoo by myself. To travel by subway, you need to transfer at Xizhimen. However, the elevator at Xizhimen is often not open, and you need to actively ask the staff for help. It is even more closed in the hot summer. Moreover, there are only two-story escalators and several steps from the ground floor to the underground Line 4 platform, but no elevator. So there are only two choices, keep asking the staff or kind passers-by for help, or hold the baby in one hand and carry the car in the other hand (the female man has done this several times); in fact, neither is convenient, and sometimes unsafe. Later, I chose to go out from Xizhimen Exit F to transfer to the bus to the zoo... I just want to be safer and save some energy...

It was very tiring along the way, but when I got to the zoo, I felt especially loved. You can buy tickets for the park annual pass or mobile phone. After entering the door, the visitor service center is on the right, which has a mother and baby room. When the baby was young, I went in there quite a lot for breastfeeding, diaper changing, naps, etc. The environment inside is very good and the staff are very friendly. You can rent a stroller for children opposite the visitor service center, with a cash deposit of 100 or 200, and return the stroller before 5 pm. Every time I want to go there without a stroller and rent a stroller directly, but every time the children go there, they have to take a two-hour nap in the middle, and they are reluctant to go home after waking up. It takes a long time to walk around, and I have never left before five o'clock...

You can visit all the pavilions in the zoo. The most suitable one for children is the children's playground (our child's favorite). You need to buy tickets separately, 5 yuan? 10 yuan? If you go early, you can learn to get food to feed the animals. You can feed pigeons, peacocks, deer, rabbits, walk the dog (50 for half an hour), and ride ponies. There are also slides and other things. There are especially many children on weekends, so it is better to avoid holidays for young children.

There is also an oceanarium. The first section of the road is dark and rugged, not suitable for strollers. You can see dolphins, sharks, rays and so on. The dolphin and sea lion performances are very good, and children also like it.

There are all kinds of things for sale in the zoo. There is only one baby care room at the entrance, and there are several restaurants with affordable prices. You can also order takeout at the entrance of the zoo and have it delivered to the door. The staff are used to it, don't ask me how I know, 😜

After the renovation, Beijing Zoo has expanded its park area, and the animal layout has become more scientific and reasonable. The display environment has also been greatly improved. In particular, animals from different continents of the earth each occupy a corner. For example, there are African and Australian animal areas on the north side of the park, and American animal areas on the west side. There is also an area that imitates natural wetlands, where red-crowned cranes, Oriental white storks and other nationally protected wading birds are placed. Especially the oceanarium on the north side of the zoo, the huge oceanarium has 7 branches and a marine animal theater, where beluga whales, dolphins and sea lions perform at 11 am and 4 pm every day. If you look carefully, you will have to rush to visit this oceanarium for a whole day.

My favorite place to go since childhood, it has something new to offer in all four seasons.

By Willy |

Whether I was a child, a student, or after work, the Beijing Zoo is one of the attractions I visit most often. It can be said that it carries my memories from childhood to the present. When I visited the zoo in 2022, I got a lot of unexpected surprises, such as seeing a bear catching fish in the water for the first time, and a sloth eating slowly.

Compared to the pleasant scenery in summer and autumn, the zoo in winter is cold and bleak, and the living space of some animals seems even smaller. The animals with the best living conditions in the zoo are, of course, the national treasure giant pandas. I remember that each of them lived in a separate room, with bamboos piled up indoors and an activity area outdoors. They could eat, sleep and play whenever they wanted. However, I think that if the natural environment could be better protected, even these animals, which are regarded as treasures, would probably prefer to live freely in their hometown.

By Jun's promise must be fulfilled |

Recommended, Beijing Zoo is very big, you can spend most of the day or even a whole day there. The tickets are very cheap.

By "Painting the City with a Pen" |

It was a bit too much for May Day, so I only visited half of it. The weather was very hot, and all the animals were lazy, 😄.

By Zhong Yu |

There aren't too many animals and the garden isn't very big. The tiger looks very thin and the panda seems to need a bath.

By Jinyan |

Except for the fact that there were too many people, everything else was very good. There were many kinds of things and the ticket price was very cheap. I suggest going to the aquarium in the off-season. There were so many people that you couldn't see anything with your children. I'll come again if I have the chance.

By Romantic Farmer 🌾 |

The Beijing Zoo includes an oceanarium, a zoo museum, an animal area, etc. Each area has different characteristics. If you like history, it is a good idea to visit the museum to see the historical changes of the zoo. The buildings from the Qing Dynasty are still preserved on the westernmost side.

By Martian User |

I went there when I was very young, and later I often went there to take pictures of animals. I was very pleased to see that there were more and more animal species, management was becoming more and more standardized, and the living environment of animals was getting better and better. It was just that it started to become a bit dilapidated in 2016. I don’t know how it is now. I haven’t been there for three years. Is the baby gorilla accompanied by its mother?

By Happy every day |

On August 1, 2018, we visited the Beijing Zoo, which is known as "China's largest zoo" and whose name was written by the famous scholar Guo Moruo, who was then the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

By Bubble One |

I went there during the Spring Festival. The off-season ticket price was 14 yuan for adults (entrance fee and panda house ticket). There were relatively fewer people in the afternoon. Most animals are not so lively in winter. The pandas are particularly cute, especially when they eat bamboo!

By Monica |

The ticket is 20 yuan, which is a good price. The park is quite big and much better than expected. The combined ticket price is only 19 yuan. It is a good place for parents and children. I met many teachers who brought their children here for autumn outings. There are many kinds of animals in Beijing Zoo. The main thing is that the ticket is really cheap.

By Treasure cover |

It is one of the largest urban zoos in China with the most complete animal species.

By Big Bad Wolf |

The biggest attraction of the zoo was the giant pandas.

By Unique |

Nostalgia, I guess. Beijing Zoo is also a cultural relic. The gate of the zoo has been there since the Qing Dynasty. I went there many times since the 1990s. I still vaguely remember some interesting things. I went there again in 2013. The decoration was completely changed. It felt very modern. I couldn't find the feeling of childhood anymore.

By Bad Wife |

I came here 30 years ago to see giant pandas. This time, after eating Lao Mo with my child, she discovered that there was a zoo next door. She insisted on going to see it, so I went in for a walk. There were not many animals, the cages were small, and many of them were empty.

By dafeige |

I support it. I think Beijing Zoo is a genuine park. The quality and quantity of animals are the best in the world! It is worth it for parents to bring their children to watch and learn!

By China-TravelNote users |

Many animals have left their homes, but are locked up and go crazy banging their cages. Since they are not treated well, I hope to release these cute and pitiful animals. Life is so unfair. Oh, it hurts to see...

By The old man smoking a pipe at the village entrance |

I went there once before and it was pretty good. There were many different animals. It would be better if I took my kids there.

By Mumu |

You can come whenever you want with an annual park pass, and it’s not expensive to buy, it’s a great price!



Panda House and Penguin House are charged separately

By The princess is a Leo |

The Beijing Zoo is not as interesting as it was when I was a kid. It is a big place, but many of the zoos are empty without animals. I always feel that there are fewer animals. However, I was surprised when I went there today. There were black lions, two little tigers 🐯🐯, and they were eating beef, baby elephants and baby kangaroos. I didn’t see them all, but I also saw sculptures about animals and an exhibition of paintings in the Lion and Tiger Mountain!

By Lychee baby |

The tickets are cheap, but the living environment of the animals... just look at the pictures. Rats are kept together with animals? ? The water for polar bears is extremely dirty and hot. . Many venues are not cleaned.



If you really want to go, I suggest you go early. Many animals are recalled from 5 o'clock and you can't see them.

By Beautiful |

The night before I went to the zoo, I checked and found out that the area was quite large. When I got there, it was really large and there were many animals... all kinds of interesting animals.

By Zhang Minglei |

There are many people but few animals. The living environment of animals is terrible. Especially for polar bears, there is only a small area, all cement and a pool of green water. I wonder how hot it will be in summer. It is not suitable for very young children.

By Meow Fei |

It is worth a visit. The tickets are very cheap. With the tickets for the panda house, the full-price ticket in the peak season is only 19 yuan, and you can see many animals. We went in at noon. Although it was the time when the animals were lazy, we basically saw all the animals because the weather was relatively cool. We often couldn't move our feet when we walked to a place, and we wanted to observe these cute animals all the time, so we walked around for about 4 hours. But visiting the zoo is a process of excitement and discomfort. It is exciting to see animals that are difficult to see at ordinary times close at hand, but it is also uncomfortable to see these animals become exhibits far away from their hometowns. In particular, you can see that many animals are very thin, such as tigers; many animals are very dirty, such as polar bears, and they are very curious whether such a high temperature is suitable for them to survive; there are also giant pandas, who feel forced to let out the wind, and keep scratching the door as if they want to go in. I have never known how to view the relationship between the pros and cons of the fun that the zoo brings to people and the inconvenience caused to animals, as well as the contradictory psychology when visiting the zoo.

By Small wild grass |

The animals are very lazy. When I went there early in the morning around eight o'clock, few of them were awake.

There are many empty glasses. You need to walk a lot.

I didn't see all the animals, so it's better to take your time and look at whatever you come across.

The glass cover reflects light and the effect cannot be seen.

There are many monkeys...

By The best of me |

The zoo is divided into three pavilions, A, B and C. There are signposts along the way, so it is easy to find the way. I was particularly satisfied to see penguins, polar bears and flamingos that are not treasured in Chongqing Zoo. But maybe because it is summer and afternoon, the animals seem lazy, many of them are taking naps, only peacocks are pecking feathers, leopards are licking their buttocks, elephants are eating grass, and monkeys are fighting, hahahaha.

By Crazy Nebula |

Great value for money, great value for money tickets. If you have children, you really want to live nearby for a long time.

By 181 |

The northwest gate of the zoo is one of the quieter entrances to the zoo. If you want to visit the aquarium, you need to buy a separate ticket for 175 yuan per person. Visitors holding the Beijing Park Annual Pass can enter for free, except for the panda pavilion, aquarium and other parks within the park.

The man-made river in the zoo does not seem to be connected to the Changhe River system. There are many water birds in the zoo, which bring a lot of pollution to the water. However, the more serious pollution comes from a few uncivilized tourists. At this time, two staff members are fishing out the garbage in the river. I hope that tourists can also abide by the principle of "leaving nothing but footprints and taking nothing but memories" of travellers, and work together to maintain this rare pure land in Beijing!

By Joy |

Tickets in Beijing are really cheap. I felt it was worth visiting every place. The zoo is also 19 yuan for adults and 9.5 yuan for half price, which is very worthwhile.

My mother and I visited all the pavilions except the aquarium as quickly as possible. It was my mother's first time to visit a zoo, and she was very excited to see the animals, just like a little kid.

By Untold treasure 1127 |

Very suitable for children, the girl had a lot of fun playing, especially the mother duck and ducklings on the roadside made the girl like them very much

By SugarSunnys |

The weather is hot, so the animals are all indoors to avoid the heat. The flamingos are very cute, the parrots are super big, and the giraffes are lying lazily on the shelves, which is very cute.

By Wild bee |

The Beijing Zoo is quite shabby, not as good as the Dalian and Changchun Zoos I've been to. The polar bears are pitiful, staying in the water with their mouths open because of the heat. I think zoos shouldn't be built. If you want to see animals, go to nature to see wild animals. Animals should also have freedom and property rights! The Beijing Zoo actually has an oceanarium, which my son likes the most. He walked around excitedly and looked around. He has a special liking for jellyfish. The ticket is 160! Fortunately, I took out a photo of his college acceptance letter and the ticket seller gave me a 20% discount! It's better not to go to the zoo when traveling in Beijing. It's boring and a waste of an afternoon.

By Luo You |

The Beijing Zoo is worth a visit. There are many kinds of animals, and the ticket price is very cheap. We bought it directly at the door! You must get a map of the zoo at the tourist information desk at the entrance. It is divided into several areas and is very large. If you don't get it, you will easily miss many pavilions.

By will get worse |

This zoo in Beijing is quite large and has many species of animals.

By Autumn Leaves |

There are so many animals, and the species are very complete. There were many people queuing up to enter the zoo before the gate opened early in the morning, so you have to go early (ง •̀_•́)ง. For breakfast, you can have a simple breakfast at the restaurant next to the zoo. If you can't stand the food in the zoo, you can bring your own lunch. You can go to the aquarium first, because the animals in the zoo don't get up too early-_-||, you will be disappointed if you can't see them. The zoo is very large, be careful not to get lost, it is strongly recommended to take a picture of the guide map first, it will be much more convenient.

By Groundhog |

There are not many kinds of animals, the management is average, and not many people go there

By Jessy Gold Knee Tightening |

Many Beijingers have deep feelings for the Beijing Zoo. This zoo was once the largest zoo in China, carrying the mission of a national zoo. The animals in the Beijing Zoo have also served as envoys of friendly exchanges between countries many times. The current Beijing Zoo is still very large, with many kinds of animals, and you can't visit them all in a day.

By China-TravelNote users |

Whoosh~ Watch us transform into more than 500 kinds of animals

By haha |

Very big, yes.

But I felt sorry for the animals that were locked up in small boxes. Some of the animals were locked up individually.

And!!!! I don't know what the problem is

Why are polar bears left outside without any ice?

I really feel pitiful.

Kangaroos too

Kangaroos were supposed to be jumping around on the grassland.

It seems that I can only jump like a sparrow in there.

You can still see many children urinating and defecating everywhere.

Highly not recommended

By CS |

It is a favorite place for children, adults can also find some happiness here, and of course history lovers can also hunt for treasures here.

By Lord |

After entering the zoo, I kept looking for my little Bai and the cute little meerkats. I felt that I should learn more about them before entering. Although I didn't walk the same route twice, I often went to the next animal area without seeing it. As a result, I was tired and didn't go back to see it. I decided to visit the aquarium next time.

By Round and round~ |

I came here with my parents when I was little, then I brought my cousin with me for work, and now I bring my own child. There are more and more people, the animals are getting lazier, and it feels more and more ordinary...

By Lady Zhou |

Beijing Zoo is located on Xizhimenwai Street, Xicheng District, Beijing. It is the largest urban zoo in China, with a history of more than 100 years since the 32nd year of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1906). Beijing Zoo is divided into three areas: East, South, and North. The main entrance of the park is located in the East Area. In the North Area of ​​the park, there is the Beijing Oceanarium (you need to buy a ticket separately).

The rare animals that are native to China and have settled here include giant pandas, golden monkeys, Siberian tigers, white-lipped deer, elks (four-legged animals), ponies, and red-crowned cranes, as well as representative animals from all over the world, such as chimpanzees from Africa, kangaroos from Australia, jaguars, Mexican manatees, and European bison. The Amphibian and Reptile Museum has two floors, with more than 100 species of reptiles from all over the world on display, including the world's largest crocodile, the saltwater crocodile. You can refer to the signs in the park or the guide map on the official website to choose your favorite venue.

The zoo is full of trees and has a large green area, which is very suitable for outings and parent-child activities. The old Beijing brand "Huguosi Snacks" has a branch in the zoo. Near the zoo is Beijing's famous clothing wholesale market (Beijingers call it "Dongpi"), the National Library, Beijing Planetarium and Zizhuyuan Park are also nearby.

South Gate of the Zoo: Take Metro Line 4 and get off at the "Zoo" station. During major holidays, the station may be closed or the number of people may be limited. Visitors visiting at this time should pay more attention to relevant subway information. North Gate of the Zoo (Beijing Aquarium): Take bus No. 16, 26, Yuntong 103, Yuntong 105, Yuntong 205, get off at Beifang Jiaotong University Station, and walk to the destination.

#Beijing Tour#

Beijing Zoo

Mainly come with kids...



There are so many animals in this lake.

Swans are so beautiful, they can actually kiss 😘



Carry biscuits, cabbage, and carrots with you🥕

Animals eat it 😉



It is divided into several districts, East District and West District.

The giraffes are so far away.

The panda house is not easy to find either.



It would be nice if I could interact with the animals...

By Little Koala🐨 |

It was almost dark when we finished visiting the Amphibian Museum. We were still not satisfied and will come again if we have the chance. We decided to come to the zoo on short notice due to weather reasons and had little time. If you want to bring your children to the Beijing Zoo, it is best to set aside a day and buy passes for both the oceanarium and the zoo!

By ★JoShun★ |

Beijing Zoo is very average. You can only see some cute big national treasures.

By Papaya bird bird |

We both have a soft spot for zoos. And the prices for Beijing attractions are really reasonable. The entrance ticket + the panda house combined ticket is 14 yuan. There are not many people in the zoo. Most of them are locals who take their children for a walk, or some photography enthusiasts who come to take pictures of animals, with long guns and short guns, and their equipment is very complete. This was a very pleasant afternoon in the whole trip, and I experienced a slow pace and a state of walking and stopping.

By Frank2020 |

I went there during the off-season, and many of the animals in the pavilions were not out, especially the Lion and Tiger Pavilion, which was still under renovation. The layout was a bit confusing, and I basically just looked for animals along the way.



However, it is still good to visit the park. The student ticket for two people is only ten yuan, which is not a loss. The panda house is charged separately. The various public facilities are very clean, which is beyond expectations.

If you have a lot of time, you can go there, otherwise there is really nothing to see. The 10 yuan ticket is not too much, and the tourists don't make much money ( •̥́ ˍ •̀ू ) The lion and tiger gardens are under renovation and are not open. The otter and penguin houses are not open at all. As for the monkeys, I only saw a few ring-tailed lemurs and golden monkeys, an eagle, and a few zebras... The most common things I saw were waterfowl in the pond, such as swans and mandarin ducks.

I've been to many zoos.

But I still find it interesting in Beijing Zoo

Various water birds in the northern scenery during the Chinese New Year

Southerners can't miss it

Pay attention to the time of visit. Don't go around 3 or 4 o'clock, it's a bit late. Many animals go to bed early in winter. The park is very large and you need time to visit.

We went to the Beijing Zoo and bought a combined ticket for the aquarium. It was summer and the weather was very hot, so many animals didn't come out to move around much. So we went directly to the aquarium. The aquarium was really beautiful, with many kinds of small fish and jellyfish of various colors. It was very beautiful.

We went on October 6th. There were a lot of people. We went there with our kids. Adults should not go at this time. There were too many people. Lion and Tiger Mountain was under repair and not open. The entrance fee was 15 yuan per person. I forgot whether the oceanarium was 150 or 160 yuan for adults. Children under 1.2 meters tall were free. It was not that expensive. It would be too cheap if we did not visit the oceanarium. There were quite a lot of animals. I have been there several times and not much has changed.

There is animal behavior training during the summer vacation, but it feels very ordinary. It's just feeding.

It feels like the flamingos are in a big bathhouse.

The park is OK, and we saw a lot of animals in one day.

Some exhibition areas are relatively remote and many people don’t know about them.

I went to the zoo recently during the National Day holiday, and I was a little disappointed. Most of the animals inside had no energy, they were either lying or sprawling, motionless, as if they were dead. Maybe it's because I'm from Sichuan and have seen pandas, so I didn't feel curious about them. But all the other tourists were watching the pandas, and they were all very excited even if they were just taking a photo from a distance, which expressed helplessness.

However, friends with children can still go and have fun. The tickets are very cheap. Now the tiger house is closed, so you can't see the tigers.

The biggest pleasure of visiting Beijing Zoo is to see pandas. If you are lucky, you can see pandas eating bamboo, walking, looking in the mirror, sleeping, and climbing trees. Of course, the zoo also has other animals. The waterfowl lake has beautiful scenery. There are still a lot of deer, horses, and elephants. Monkeys are more likable. There are also some rare animals, such as Malayan tapirs, otters, etc. There are rich species, as well as polar animals such as penguins and polar bears.

Very good. The animals are very complete.

The bad thing is that two exhibition areas are under maintenance and cannot be visited.

Some animals are listless, I don't know why

I go to the zoo every few years, and it doesn't change much. I didn't want to go to the oceanarium this time because there are so many people on weekends and it's boring to go there all the time. I just bought the tickets, which are 15 yuan in the peak season. Because I used to see the pandas' butts when I went to the panda house (the pandas are always sleeping), I didn't buy the panda house combined ticket, so I can spend a whole day watching the animals carefully. Bring water and food. Lunch in the zoo is usually 30 yuan per serving, and the dolphin bubble is 35 yuan, which used to be 30. You can buy one in advance for your children to bring along, so you can save a lot of money.

You can take your children there, and it's also interesting for adults, but the aquarium is just average.

It is a zoo with a long history, carrying the childhood memories of many people in the 1970s and 1980s. The reptile house is great and worth visiting with children.

The tickets are quite cheap, there are many kinds of animals, but the number is a bit small. There is a subway station, which is easy to find

The lion and tiger park is closed. The Australian Zoo is also closed. It doesn't seem cost-effective to go to the zoo in summer. The animals are too hot and hide in a corner. It's hard to see clearly.

A paradise for animal lovers. Especially children love this place.

By Sand Fall |

Very good, cheap, large attractions, many landscapes, and all the animals are in the museum

The 20 yuan ticket includes the panda pavilion, which is much worse than the zoos in Dalian and Hangzhou. There are only two sleeping giant pandas in the main pavilion of the panda pavilion, and the rest are nowhere to be seen.

There are many kinds of animals, and you can see animals from different places, such as Siberian tigers, giraffes, peacocks, lions and other animals, which will allow you to see the real life of animals and marvel at the magic of nature.

I remember going to the Beijing Zoo with my grandparents when I was very young. The zoo was really too big and many of the venues were far apart. But for children, it must have been a place that left a deep impression.
