Preface. The scorching heat of the blazing sun and the exhaustion of taking care of kids, which one is more maddening? This summer, I can handle both. If you don’t believe me, take a look.

Baoyan Paradise (Chunshen Store) in Shanghai has reopened after renovation. The indoor amusement park of more than 3,000 square meters satisfies children’s needs for eating, drinking, playing and having fun in one stop. The naughty castle filled with pink ocean balls, thrilling and exciting slide parks, parent-child restaurants, DIY painting and so on are all available. Children are having a great time and parents can finally take it easy!

Whether it’s a little princess or a naughty naughty kid, I believe that when they jump into the ocean balls, their excessive energy will probably be completely stimulated. They run and play. This is the purest childhood time.

Role-playing in the small supermarket also allows children to experience being a cashier. From weighing to settlement, and then to the final scanning of mobile phone payment, it’s done in one go. It can be seen how carefully children observe when they go shopping with their parents on weekdays.

The bumper cars that can be ridden unlimited times are presumably the dream of most boys. After listening to the coach explain the rules and driving skills, every fire truck, ambulance and police car is “speeding” on the road, filled with laughter.

When tired from playing, of course, replenish energy quickly. The parent-child restaurant in the park has prepared a variety of delicious foods for children. Whether it’s in terms of appearance or taste, in the words of children, it’s “I want to give you a big thumbs up”.

Naughty castle paradise, with both good looks and fun. The red beetle itself is definitely a cute beauty. It is parked in the pink and white ocean ball world, like a dreamy castle, unconsciously emitting an attractive charm. Adults and children can all enjoy it together!

There are only two sets of slides in the naughty castle, one on the front and one on the side. Basically, it can adapt to children of all ages. Under the careful guidance of the coach, they can slide down in order and quickly leave the slide after reaching. Such rules are quite good.

The beetle castle can be entered through the spiral staircase and net rope. The transparent spiral slide, the super-long polka dot slide, and the proper slide all fulfill the wish of children to rush into the ocean balls.

Have a ball-throwing battle with Xiao Yi. There is both high morale and the girlish heart of an old mother. Posed shots and snapshots are equally wonderful. When I hold up my mobile phone, I also have to be on guard against the sudden attack of the naughty child’s ocean ball at any time. Then I run away laughing.

There is also “bumping” in the ocean balls. Put on the transparent inflatable rolling ball, pass the arm through the seat belt. Under the condition of ensuring safety, have a bumping competition with friends. Little kids still need someone to help.

Slide park, screaming is not foul. Slides of various sizes and different thrills are the focus of the park. The 45-degree blue screaming slide. The initial vertical drop really requires courage and you can only scream! The four-year-old child is a little short in height. For safety reasons, he cannot play. It’s quite a pity. But it’s enough for the old mother to have fun. However, Xiao Yi is not disappointed by this. He is very interested in the four green slides next to it. When he slides for the first time, he hasn’t let go of his courage yet and needs the old mother to hold him and slide. Then it’s “time to let go”. Afterward, he went up and down seven or eight times consecutively, experiencing each slide. Even though climbing the stairs left him panting, he still enjoyed the thrill of sliding down. I sat by the slide counting as he ran up and down tirelessly. With this energy, I think he will definitely be a future athlete.

On the left and right sides of the slide and underneath, there are many hidden mechanisms that create a safe and fun world for children to explore. The space is also quite friendly for adults, providing enough room to play and take pictures. For example, this set of ‘piano keys’ can emit the notes ‘do-re-mi’ when stepped on lightly. This not only entertains but also cultivates children’s musical sense. Various ‘hidden mechanisms’ are waiting for children to explore in different ways. They can swing like a swing or choose more challenging actions to test their flexibility.

As accompanyingFrom shopping in the supermarket to cooking at home, everything can be done in one go, and delicious meals can be served immediately. A boy who looks slightly younger than Xiao Yi is pushing a shopping cart, carefully selecting his favorite fruits and vegetables, and then choosing meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. He is so serious that if it weren’t for not wanting to disturb his work, I really would like to ask what delicious food he wants to cook tonight. With so many customers, Xiao Yi, the cashier, said, ‘You bought too much,’ which is quite stressful. After selecting the ingredients, Xiao Yi returned to the kitchen and started cooking frantically. He boiled water with a kettle, poured oil into a frying pan, and washed vegetables in the sink. What delicious food is he making? I sat aside waiting patiently. The mother ordered a sandwich, and it looks like it can be eaten. Xiao Yi imitated how we make sandwiches for breakfast at home, with two slices of toast bread, fried eggs, lettuce, and ham slices. It’s really well done, and the mother is very moved.

In the sand pool experience area, the simple favorite is the pure white sand grains, which look like rice grains if you don’t look closely. They are clean and hygienic. With a pool full of beach toys, Xiao Yi played for a full hour. In the hot summer, it’s not convenient to go to the beach and sunbathe, so the sand pool at Baoyan Amusement Park can satisfy everything the children want. Playing with the mother is too happy. A white sand rain is coming, okay, the whole body is white. However, it is important to remind the children not to throw at other children. Squinting, bury yourself and give full play to children’s imagination, use the tools at hand to make different shapes. You like this, I like that, two or three people cooperate, and a small team is busy for this.

In the happy trampoline area, there are many punching columns in the trampoline area for release and rest. You can punch and kick freely, and press them under your body. The naughty child becomes a boxing master here and never shows mercy. Climbing up, there is a transparent tunnel connected to the end, which is a rest area with lazy sofas, large and small plush toys, cloth books, and puzzle tracks, all available.

After a long playtime, little Yi indeed feels tired and can now enjoy a well-deserved rest. The mechanical entertainment area brings the excitement of outdoor amusements indoors with bumper cars, pirate ships, and carousels that can be enjoyed unlimited times. Previously, when taking little Yi to large amusement parks, the children’s favorites were invariably bumper cars, small trains, and carousels, but there was always an exceptionally long queue! The patience would be exhausted by the wait, but today at Baoyan Paradise, the dream of riding freely has truly come true. Little Yi’s favorite is the bumper cars, fulfilling his wish to drive and control the steering wheel. Watching his satisfied expression while driving is extremely gratifying.

The parent-child restaurant offers a variety of choices to satisfy taste buds, with lunch and dinner both available at reasonable prices. Spaghetti Bolognese, thin-crust pizza, and fries are all favorites of little Yi, along with a cup of freshly squeezed watermelon juice, which was consumed by little Yi before a photo could be taken. On the day of the visit, there happened to be a birthday party for a little princess with a Frozen theme, meticulously decorated and full of childlike wonder. There were also hilarious birthday dances performed by staff and large mascots, as well as free exploration of the park by friends, leaving the birthday girl and her companions with plenty of memories.

In the DIY area, painting and Lego are definitely the children’s favorites. No matter what the shape is, as long as they are engaged in the activity, it is enough – this is the requirement of a laid-back mother. There are also benefits for parents, such as free nail services, although there may be a queue when there are many people. Baoyan Paradise caters to both the children’s entertainment and the parents’ comfort, achieving a win-win situation.

Precautions:
1. Anti-slip socks are mandatory throughout the visit. It is recommended that both adults and children prepare mid-calf socks that fit well to prevent falls and slips (anti-slip socks can be purchased at the park for 10 yuan per pair);
2. Long-sleeved shirts and long pants are essential for sliding. Both adults and children can enjoy the slides, and long sleeves and pants can prevent bumps and scratches. Ice sleeves can be brought for easy switching. It is advised that girls do not wear skirts or bring leggings to play without concerns;
3. No outside food is allowed, but the parent-child restaurant will satisfy your taste buds. Water is allowed and it is essential to keep children well-h
