Dont expect US quality Zoo here, and remember the animals are not treated the same here as they are in the US. Infact I question their breeding practices as well as their policy of letting visitors pet and be photographed with cubs and other wild animals. More

The zoo was very interesting and a nice variety of wild animals. It was located about 45 minutes (150rmb) from downtown toward the Pudong Airport. The zoo is broken up into two unique parts. The first part is a walking zoo. There were many animals and birds. Unlike zoo’s in the United States there were many areas where you could... More

I heard horrible things about the Shanghai zoo and was sceptical about visiting the wild park, however, I was amazed by the cleanliness and most importantly the space the animals have. There are loads of species of animals to see and the areas are defined very creatively. For example the Lemur island. To see the predators (lions, tigers etc) you... More

We visited Shanghai Wild Animal Park this April 2012, my daughter really had fun feeding the animals, like the giraffes, doves, i loved taking her pictures with the camels, ponies, and especially the ones where she was sitting on the elephant's "nose". But what we enjoyed the best was viewing the endangered animals, like the pandas, white tigers, cranes and... More

One of the best attractions on Pudong - and quite nice for kids and those interested in animals. Not bad at all. Nice sealion show for free. And pandas, ofcourse. Like how they also exhibit pigons :-) More

The place was huge and interesting, but it looked a little messy. However the pandas were the highlight of the trip. My friend loved them so much that she insisted having one! Luckily on our visit the pandas were quite active, they ate and played, not like other animals that just kept lying lazily. Admission was a bit expensive though. More

I had heard that this Zoo was completely different from the others because you could really approach the animals and there are even some petitions online asking to close it because they would give medicin to the animals so that they wouldn´t hurt the visitors. But this does not exist anymore. This Zoo is an zoo as any other in... More

When we planned our first trip to Shanghai - we listed two things we should be able to do: eat the authentic Shanghai street food AND see a real live GIANT PANDA. And since the giant panda sanctuary is quite far from Shanghai, we settled with the Shanghai Wild Animal Park. And we were not disappointed! The animals there were... More

Decided to go it alone and venture out on my own to visit the Shangahi Wild Animal Park in Nanhui County.Took three long hours to get there, due to the fact I had to get the metro from Pu Dong to the Shangahi Stadium. Due to language barrier and torrential rain,found the right coach which then took over one hour... More
