Traveling with your kids? To plan a Beijing kid tour, one of the children friendly things to do in Beijing is to visit a local zoo. Basically Beijing has three zoos–Beijing Zoo, Badaling Safari World and Beijing Wildlife Park.
Beijing Wildlife Park is located in Daxing District, about 50km north of Beijing city center. Of the three zoos in Beijing, only Beijing Wildlife Park offers the safari ride in a safari-park area of the park. The park has over 200 animal species with a total number of over 10,000 animals.
It introduces three ways of visiting Beijing Wildlife Park – South Route Area, North Route Area and Middle Route Area. Most people would choose to walk from south and up to the north in a loop. And seldom visitors will choose th middle way. There are some sightseeing trolleys availble for those who are slow walkers.
