Words before the main content. Two lovely little angels have appeared in our lives. My son is four years old and my daughter is nearly two years old. Since having them, our lives have become full of joys and sorrows. Because taking care of kids is a process for us adults to learn to get along with human cubs. Growing up with the babies, we have witnessed their happiness, frustration and disobedience. We have also learned from it how to be parents. My son has started kindergarten, and my daughter is still in an adorable stage. Both are beloved. We are never partial and never spoil them. We give them the same love, the same living space, the same education and the same company.

Usually, we are busy with work, but on weekends, we will definitely take our two lovely babies out to play. Because playing is the nature of children and also an important part of their education. We hope that babies can start to see the world from an early age, cultivate their ability to distinguish right from wrong and deal with people and things from an early age. We also hope that they can learn to be strong from games. And for preschool children, all these can be learned from ‘playing’.

July is the most beautiful season. July is a season when one can fully blossom. In July, human cubs are on summer vacation… Usually on weekends, we will take the babies to play in shopping malls and in nature. Now that my son is also on vacation, we want them to go wild. There are too many places suitable for parent-child check-ins in Shanghai. We finally decided to take the babies to Baoyan Paradise and have a wild day here, sweating heartily, laughing heartily and experiencing heartily.

Why focus on Shanghai Baoyan Paradise? Firstly, it has an area of about 20,000 square meters and a total of five floors. Each floor has different amusement items. And most importantly, this is a super combined parent-child paradise in Shanghai that has an indoor four-season constant temperature water park, a large roof grass skiing project, and at the same time has a petting zoo + slide park + naughty castle park + dynamic VR park + building block park + parent-child restaurant + amusement park + constant temperature water park + outdoor experience park. That is to say, if you bring your kids to Baoyan in the morning, you can eat, drink and play inside. The whole family can mobilize and play here for a whole day. It’s extremely worthwhile!

[Highlight] Preparations before the trip. This part is extremely important. It directly determines whether everyone can have a great time in the paradise. Baoyan Paradise is a comprehensive indoor amusement park. Each floor has a different theme, and of course, the ways of playing are also different. You need to prepare some essential items for yourself and the kids. If you don’t bring them all, you won’t be able to play in many areas after you come. If you go, you still need to cooperate. If you forget, you can buy them in the paradise.

Admission information: The paradise requires advance reservation to ensure a good experience. The ticket includes the water park, petting zoo and castle park.

Essential items: Anti-slip socks for babies. They are needed when playing in the naughty castle park to prevent accidental slips and injuries. It is also for cleanliness. When playing on the slides, long-sleeved clothes and long pants are required. It is best to wear long-sleeved clothes and long pants when going there because the slide area is on the first floor. You can change into short-sleeved clothes and shorts after playing. When playing in the water park, swimsuits, swim caps and bath towels are required. If the babies are too young, you can bring auxiliary tools such as life buoys. If you forget, you can buy them in the paradise. The fifth floor outdoor is an open-air place without air conditioning. Measures for sun protection and heatstroke prevention should be taken.

Baoyan Paradise pays great attention to safety management, leaving no detail unattended. In addition to requiring anti-slip socks and long-sleeved clothing, gloves are also necessary when feeding small animals. After all, children are the apple of their parents’ eyes, and no one wants any accidents while they are playing. Therefore, coming to Baoyan Paradise is truly safe and reassuring.

Floor introduction:
1st Floor: Features a slide park, VR dynamic park (7D/9D/5D), rainbow corridor, and a pet paradise;
2nd Floor: Features a naughty castle park, block world, mother’s nail salon, bakery, birthday room, bumper cars, westernStrongly recommended during the summer vacation! Are you surprised? If you’re worried that one day won’t be enough when taking your kids to play, you can focus on a few projects first.

On the first floor, there’s a large slide. On the second floor, there’s a large ocean ball pool and block world. The water park is on the third and fourth floors. Our children’s time allocation inside is quite reasonable. They mainly experience these themes while playing with others. We entered around 11 a.m. and came out in the evening after checking in all five floors.

Tour tips: Walking into Baoyan, we first go to the front desk to exchange tickets. With one adult and one child, we naturally have a lot of luggage. After entering the ticket inspection, there is a special place to store baby strollers. To the left of the ticket inspection is the super combination slide park, and to the right is the VR dynamic park. The slide is suitable for both older and younger children to play as long as they wear long-sleeved clothing and floor socks. As for the VR dynamic park, it’s recommended for children over 5 years old to experience it. However, when there aren’t many people, it’s also nice to take some posed photos. The highlight is the slide park, which is the iconic internet-famous project of Baoyan Paradise. There are 13 rainbow slides of different gradients. The blue ocean ball slide with an angle of about 45 degrees and the red vertical slide with an angle of about 90 degrees are the most popular with children. It only takes 4 seconds to slide from a height of 7.3 meters to the ground. Although the child is too young to play on the 90-degree vertical slide, the others have all been played by the son. At first, he was a bit timid and needed to slide with his father, but after playing more, he became more courageous and began to entertain himself. The daughter is too young and can only crawl here now. Her chubby body twists and turns, which is very cute. Although the daughter is young, she is very independent and brave, and she also plays happily by herself. It can be said that this is an excellent training ground for adults to cultivate children’s courage.

In addition to the slide park and VR dynamic park, there is another place on the first floor that cannot be missed, which is the pet paradise. There are actually cute small animals to get close to. However, the pet paradise is outside the entrance, and you need to tie a wristband on your arm at the ticket inspection to go in and out. The pet paradise has more than 50 kinds of small animals such as alpacas, raccoons, green parrots, hedgehogs, hamsters, and long-eared rabbits. Here we can feed small animals, especially alpacas, which can be said to be the internet-famous animals here. Seeing the fluffy alpacas, the two children went crazy, scrambling to feed them.

At that moment, the gloves handed to me by the staff at Baoyan Paradise truly made me feel their dedication. No mother would want her child to have an accident as they are the apples of our eyes.

The second floor features an extremely stress-relieving naughty castle where there is an endless sea of ball pits, interspersed with various small slides, climbing nets, hammocks, and light magic balls. My son loves it here, constantly shuttling through the sea of balls and other amusement equipment, unwilling to leave for a long time. My daughter is too young. We put her in the ball pit, where only a small head is visible, which is just too adorable. Look at her. She is also playing happily by herself. Seeing the two babies play so happily, our hearts are also warm.

Lunch was settled at the restaurant on the second floor. While our daughter was taking a nap, we took our son to the block world on the second floor. It is a super large block field which looks like a castle from afar. Our son shuttles here, searching for blocks and painstakingly building these blocks, which is also very interesting.

After our daughter woke up, we went to the third floor, which is a large indoor water park with a constant temperature of around 37 degrees. Regardless of the scorching heat or heavy rain, even in the cold winter, parents and children can safely play and have fun here, and the water quality is clean. In the hot summer, this place has become what we look forward to the most. After changing into swimsuits in the changing room with the babies, we can go in and have fun. The water park has a 5-meter high and 32-meter long rainbow slide, as well as dozens of slides of varying lengths suitable for children to play with. There are hundreds of water-spurting plant and animal cartoon shapes scattered in the shallow water areaOur son played water fights with his father. Our daughter sitting on the water seesaw in the water was quite suitable. It has to be said that this water park is not only constant temperature, not only 30cm shallow, but more importantly, it is definitely a place that brings adults and children closer. I think this is the meaning of parent-child travel. We learn and grow with the children, and the children grow up happily with us. Encourage them more, and they will become more courageous.

After playing in the water and changing clothes, we went to the fifth floor to take a photo outdoors. The weather was too hot, and the outdoor temperature was very high, so the babies didn’t really want to stay for a long time. However, the two little guys were attracted by this group of dinosaurs. They curiously touched and perceived them. Not only did our son like them, but our daughter was also fearless. In the future, when they grow up, it seems that they will all like Ultraman. We also experienced the carousel on the fifth floor. Unfortunately, due to the rain, some projects such as the sky grass sliding were not open. It seems that this is the meaning of travel, that is, there must be some regrets to make it more beautiful. In the future, we will come to Baoyan Paradise again for this regret, and experience all the projects that have not been experienced, which is great.

Practical tips:
1. There is parking at the entrance, free for the first 4 hours. Collect parking coupons at the front desk, and it’s 6 yuan per hour after that.
2. Address of Baoyan Paradise Minhang Flagship Store: No. 11, Lane 3825, Dushi Road, Minhang District, Shanghai.
3. Summer business hours (July-August): weekdays 9:30-19:30, weekends 9:30-20:30, water park 11:00-18:00. Note: When children are playing, they are free to forget themselves. All the projects in Baoyan Paradise have a high safety factor, so there is no need to worry about accidents during the children’s experience, but also pay attention to safety when playing, do not slip. In addition, pay attention to relieving the heat and cooling down. Because when kids play, they will sweat a lot. So it is necessary to replenish water for them in time.

Conclusion: Happy times are always very short. After a day of playing in a large indoor parent-child paradise, it is almost dinner time. On our way home by car, the babies fell asleep. Looking at their sleeping faces after playing tiredly, although we are also very tired, our hearts are extremely gratified. In the process of playing, we saw the efforts of the babies and saw their courage to overcome difficulties and challenge themselves. These are rarely seen at home on weekdays. So it is still very necessary to go out and play. Babies, come on!
