Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
Buy the combo ticket for the sea lion show as it is separate from admission and sells out fast.
Feed the giraffes at 10am when they are hungriest. By noon they stop coming to the platform.
The bird aviary is unsupervised so keep a close eye on toddlers who might chase birds into restricted areas.

A Real Parent's Story
We held a baby crocodile and my kids still brag about it
“The keeper let us hold a 6-month-old croc with its mouth taped.”
Read full story
Of all the things at Shenzhen Safari Park the reptile house was the surprise hit. A keeper brought out a baby crocodile for a supervised touch session with its mouth taped. My 9-year-old was the first to volunteer and held it for a full minute. The 5-year-old backed away until she saw her sister doing it. We have the photo framed at home now.
