Shanghai Wild Animal Park (June 15, 2024): My WTF List & How YOU Can Dodge These Bullets!
-
How did I miss this monkey? I wanted to pet it too!
-
We bought VIP tickets that day and were right in front of the performers – the view was fantastic! My husband even got pulled up on stage to join the show. The only downside was that the tickets were painfully expensive.
-
Ugh, don't even remind me. We got regular tickets and I'm kicking myself. All we saw were their backsides the entire time. If I'd known, I would've sprung for the best VIP seats.
-
Is it expensive to take a taxi there?
-
Yes, it's pricey. It's over 40 kilometers, and a taxi cost 190 yuan.
-
I went today, and overall, it wasn't bad. Except the elephants stank terribly, the weather was muggy, and there were droppings everywhere. The orangutan seemed a bit neurotic; it kept eating, spitting out its food, and then eating it again. Also, apart from feeding the swans (which was free), everything else cost money. It was 30 yuan for just two leaves to feed the giraffes – a very quick interaction. You could pet some other animals, though.
-
Can an 18-year-old buy a student ticket?
-
Yes, just remember to bring your student ID.
-
Went on a Thursday, so there were way fewer people since it was a weekday. We could easily get front-row views everywhere without any hassle.
-
Weren't you scared, being so close?
-
How much is the entrance ticket?
-
It's 136 yuan, and that includes the bus tour inside the park.
-
Excuse me, is there air conditioning during the circus show?
-
I don't think so, but the venue is huge, so it didn't feel hot.
-
The water inside is a rip-off, but you can order takeout milk tea or other drinks. For example, a lemonade from Mixue Bingcheng (a popular chain) is only 5 yuan.
-
Wow, that's a smart move!
