Live Your Best Lives
At Beijing Wildlife Park, visitors can enjoy close encounters with a variety of animals in their natural habitats. Popular activities include visiting the African Savannah section, taking a safari ride, feeding giraffes, and watching animal shows like the tiger and sea lion performances.
Located in the vast forests of Daxing District, the Beijing Wildlife Park is home to over 200 species of animals, totaling tens of thousands. It's a delightful place for children to explore and learn about wildlife. The zoo is divided into three areas: a walking tour area, a self-drive tour area, and a wild animal experience area. Within the free-range area, packs of wolves, wild boars, deer, and emus live in harmony within the spacious grounds, creating a natural scene.
The zoo's mission is to "protect animals and forests," highlighting the return to nature theme of "animals and humans, animals and forests," and fostering a vibrant atmosphere of "people, animals, and forests." You can observe the animals up close and personal in caged cars, or even feed them. Arriving early, ideally before 9:00 AM, is recommended, as many of the animals you could feed may be full and ignore you, making you less interested in feeding them. You can also enjoy animal performances like bear acrobatics, monkeys riding bicycles, and lions jumping through hoops.
