    "There are still a lot of people, and there are too many people who feed the car to take the free bus. I am very excited to see many animal children. The international circus performance is great. What I have not seen is worth seeing. Our small family also looks at it with relish. It may be suitable for larger babies, the mother and baby room is a bit ~ sofa has small ants."

    "The Ocean Aquarium, located in Lujiazui, is one of the three major aquariums in Shanghai. It is also the oldest aquarium. The location is super good and the price is not expensive. You can see all kinds of cute marine life inside, and there is the longest aquarium elevator."

    "It is very convenient to buy tickets online. The scene is directly scanned to enter the park. The park is very large. There is a tourist battery car in the park. It is 15 yuan per person. The ticket can be purchased on the spot. It can be sent to the beast area far from the main entrance. Tiger, rhino, giant panda, etc., which is more suitable for the elderly and children. Save physical strength. There are many varieties in the zoo, basically you can go shopping for a day. There are restaurants and canteens inside. There are more people queuing on holidays, which is more time-consuming. If you want to save time, you can bring some food."

    "Taking advantage of the National Day holiday to bring my family, the transportation is convenient and it also comes with a parking space, which is convenient for self-driving passengers. After entering the inside, you can go to a simulated scene cabin first, and there will be a different experience. During the period there are cheongsam shows, pingtans, magic (Western and ancient color tricks), and cute alpacas will interact with tourists. Be sure to see the performance of the ancient love, the scene is magnificent and shocking, more spitting bubble whales swimming over your head, acrobats in the air to turn over their heads, Xu Wenqiang hanging Weiya to appear, Bailemen dancers pass by you, hot blood youth shout in your ear. The performance is about an hour, hungry and thirsty, you can eat in the restaurant on the first floor, or continue to play after a short break in the lounge area on the second floor. Overall, it is still worth going to the last place."

    "Yes, there are too few items that children under 120 can play, only a little in the Happy Ocean. The float cruise at night is as good as ever. Small movies can often change content better. The light in the Happy Ocean can be better adjusted."

    "In a blink of an eye, the new museum of Shanghai Natural Museum has also been open for many years. The last time I went there was almost 2 years ago. The half price discount of the tourism festival was particularly high. There were quite a lot of people. The 20 yuan guide was still worth renting. There was no need to hear it like that old guide. Interested can be directly clicked and heard repeatedly. The environment is still very good, but some interactive equipment has been damaged, the buttons have not responded, the touch screen has not responded, and there are many rubber stickers on the sharp corners of the glass that have also fallen off, and some wallpaper has also been damaged. When there are many people or children running, they feel a lot of safety hazards. Hope the maintenance can keep up, overall is still very good."
