Sitting on water lily
Boasting extraordinary carrying capacity, royal water lilies can hold up a hundred pounds of weight while floating on water, delighting children. Dressing up in a variety of costumes, children can experience the great carrying capacity of a lotus boat and also have a rare intimate interaction with their father dressed up in waterproof clothing. Ask a staff member to take a photo so that you can save and savor the wonderful moment.
Creative workshop
Children can sit down and make handicrafts with their parents in the Children's Botanical Garden's amusement facilities. Chenshan Botanical Garden carries out all sorts of fun activities on holidays and festivals, including rose soap making, paper folding and leaf collage. The activities not only exercise children's hands-on ability, but also enable them to unconsciously learn about plants as they are playing.
Chenshan Fantastic Night summer camp
One of the unique opportunities for children at Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden is the Chenshan Fantastic Night Summer Camp.
