Shanghai holds a plethora of fun activities for children beneath the city's business and fashion veneer, and there is much more to offer visiting children than dull museums or expansive parks. From kid-friendly dining to fun activities for the whole family that are cultural, educational and fun, your family is sure to have an amazing adventure in family-friendly Shanghai.
For starters, the chance to explore nature and wildlife abounds in Shanghai. The Shanghai Zoo and Aquarium, as well as the Shanghai Wildlife Park are great places for your child to learn and grow, as well as to enjoy their Chinese counterpart's company while doing so.
The Children's Municipal Palace and Kid's Element are educational centers for Shanghai locals. A tour here can show your child how children from China live and learn.
Two fun ways to enjoy the Huangpu River, in central Shanghai are the Huangpu River Cruise, which is a fun and safe event for the family, and the Psychadelic Tunnel which, despite its name, is just a fun under-water method of getting from Puxi to Pudong.
Finally, enjoy Shanghai's historical and cultural sights by visiting family-friendly Yu Gardens and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, both of which offer amusing sights to wow your children and keep them entertained and excited about being in China.
