This waxworks museum is aimed at locals (the family admission ticket only includes one child), though it could make do if you get caught in a downpour near People’s Square.
Animal Parks
Shanghai Zoo
As far as Chinese zoos go, this is just about the best there is. In addition to the animals, there’s plenty of green space to run around in.
Shanghai Ocean Aquarium
One of the top aquariums in China, this Pudong attraction is surprisingly good, with an impressively long shark tunnel and intelligent exhibits organised by region. Avoid the weekends if possible.
Acrobatics Shows
An evening with the acrobats will certainly keep most kids (and adults) entertained, with plate spinning, contortionism and even daredevil motorcycle feats performed to Star Wars theme music.
Amusement & Water Parks
Happy Valley
China’s best amusement park by a long shot, Happy Valley has scores of roller coasters, dive machines and other heart-thumping rides, but there are also mellower attractions for younger kids. A new water park is set to open here in 2013.
Dino Beach
This water park boasts Asia’s largest wave pool and is a fun-filled way to beat the summer heat.
Like a Local
On the surface Shanghai appears more Western than anywhere else in China, bar Hong Kong. But don’t be fooled by appearances – even if the Shanghainese are known for their embrace of foreign tastes, engaging in local life will reveal a culture that is captivatingly unique.
Learn Chinese
True, Mandarin isn’t something you can simply pick up overnight, but learning the basics – or at least trying to – will take you a long way. It’s also good for your ego, because you only need to master a handful of words before you start receiving enthusiastic compliments about your language skills. On that note, it’s good form to return the compliment when someone speaks to you in English.
If you’ve been hankering to learn some Shanghainese, well, we won’t discourage you, but make sure you’ve got Mandarin down first.
Eat Like a Local
This is actually a little trickier than it sounds. If you’re wondering how you could not eat like a local, you only need to step into a Western restaurant or bar any night of the week – in Shanghai, the temptation to stay in your comfort zone is everywhere. Eating Shanghainese-style may require an initial leap of faith (you want me to eat what?), but be brave and travel your taste buds: with specialities like freshly pulled noodles, braised pork belly and quick-fried shrimp, you won’t regret it.

| Shanghai winters are generally unpleasant, with temperatures that are cold enough to cut to the bone, but rarely chilly enough for snow. | | | Practise Taichi |
