As you can tell by now, I stayed really long in Shanghai and explored some really good attractions that are not usually on most people's itineraries. For young families or even anyone, Shanghai Wild Animal Park was surprisingly fun and memorable!
You could feed literally every animal in the Shanghai Wild Animal Park which was awesome. As long as you paid around S$5, you would get a packet of food to feed the animals. We arrived in the late morning and missed a great deal of feeding sessions. Unlike our Mandai Zoo, the Shanghai Wild Animal Park had lots of animals of the same species. It was quite a sight watching the kangaroos fighting with another pair trying to mate in the background.
The whole area was huge, we couldn't finish within the day. In addition, there was even a themepark nested within it. Truly regretted not arriving earlier. The children enjoyed it thoroughly and I think their mandarin might have improved, learning the names of all the animals there. If you love Pandas, there are even a pair of toddler twins there!
Our favourite was definitely the VIP ride that allowed you to feed ferocious animals up-close. I have never got to do that in my whole life and it was exhilarating. You had to pay around S$20 extra for the VIP experience and would be given some food. Depending on luck (which side the animals choose to stroll pass), you might not get to feed all.
We were pretty lucky and got to feed the lions, white tigers, brown bear and a pack of hungry wolves. I took this ride the first thing when we arrived. But I think it could have been saved for last and I could focus feeding more animals in the park in the morning. In any case, this beats Mandai (Sorry Mandai!) For lunch, I would suggest having the Lanchengxiang Lanzhou Beef Noodles (if you can take beef) and get something separate for the children. The rest of the food selection was just meh!
