【Animal World 🦁 】You can observe animals in the walking area, and there are many interactive feeding spots in the park where you can feed giraffes and African elephants up close with your children. You can take a small train to go around the driving area. After getting off, you can rent a car or take a sightseeing vehicle. There are already plenty of animals in the walking area, more than enough for kids to see!
【❄️ Ice and Snow World】The Ice Sculpture World is quite suitable for children. Inside, there are ice sculptures, ice curling, and ice slides. Cotton padded jackets and shoes are available for rent, so you don't have to worry about your children catching a cold!
【Taihu Ancient Town】Free performances start in the afternoon. The children's play "GG Bond" begins at 7:30 PM, which is quite suitable for kids. After 8 PM, there will be an Iron Flower Show + Fireworks Show, which is truly beautiful 🌃 The dazzling lights are super photogenic 📸 Take your kids to Tongxin Bridge in advance to find a spot, and you'll get great photos in minutes!

❌【Tips to Avoid Pitfalls】
💣 The queue for the small train in Animal World can be a bit long.
💣 There are also many people watching the fireworks in the ancient town at night, so you might want to leave a little earlier.
