Xili Zoo Super Detailed Guide

Hey, moms and dads! Just dragged my two little "wild beasts" back from Xili Zoo this weekend, totally exhausted but super happy! This place is definitely the perfect battlefield to burn off their energy! Here’s our fresh and hot full play record! 📝

📍Destination: Shenzhen Xili Wildlife Zoo
🚦Transportation Guide:
Preferred by subway: Take Line 7 to [Xili Lake Station], exit B, walk a few minutes to the main gate, super convenient, highly recommended!
Driving is also an option: Navigate to the zoo’s main gate parking lot, plenty of spaces, and parking fees are very reasonable.

🎢【Our Highlight Moments】🌟
Feeding the fierce beasts, heart racing! 🐅
Right after entering, we headed straight to the sightseeing car to the fierce beast area! This is the main event! Feeding the tigers costs 50 RMB per person, and you get a big skewer of raw meat. Staff will have the kids (especially the younger ones) sit on their parents’ laps, holding them, and in absolute safety, the adults hold the kids’ hands to feed the meat together. Watching the big tiger pounce and swallow it in one bite made the boys’ eyes go wide.

Giraffe Plaza, instant healing! 🦒
Buy a bunch of leaves, and the giraffe’s tongue licks them away in no time! The kids hold up the leaves, and when the giraffe bends down, they look both scared and excited. I quickly snapped photos—such a lovely scene! This is a must-shoot check-in spot!

Panda Pavilion to watch the “stars” eat! 🐼
Go see the adorable pandas! They’re either eating bamboo or on their way to eat, their lazy looks totally melted us. The pavilion is very cool, perfect for escaping the midday heat.

Children’s Playground, energy outlet! 🎠
There are many paid rides to choose from, like the little train, carousel, etc. The kids had a blast, and it’s a great way for us and them to sit down and rest after all the walking.

💡【Heartfelt Tips】
The little train is the soul! The park is really huge! Don’t try to walk with kids, or you’ll be exhausted to the point of questioning life. Buy multiple-ride tickets for the little train, get on and off at any stop, and save 90% of your energy.

Food strategy: There are many restaurants and snack stands in the park to replenish energy anytime.

Plan your time well: There are many shows. It’s recommended to check the schedule on the official WeChat account in advance and plan your route reasonably so you don’t miss the exciting parts.

Essentials: Sunscreen, hat, mosquito repellent, sweat towel, power bank! Don’t leave any behind, you know how Shenzhen’s weather is.

Xili Zoo truly lives up to its classic reputation, with great interactive experiences. Although there are some extra costs, seeing the kids’ happy smiles makes it all worth the ticket price ❤️
