Overview of 上海宋城 Fun

The newly opened 上海宋城 Performing Arts Park's biggest advantage is its almost entirely indoor attractions, beloved by moms everywhere! Apart from the outdoor park on the first floor and the rooftop garden, all indoor spaces are air-conditioned, much to the delight of parents who want to avoid sun and wind exposure for their little ones. That's the key! Inside, you'll find dozens of exciting interactive experiences, themed streets perfect for photos, the main show 《上海千古情》, a high-tech show specially for children 《WA！恐龙》, and countless play opportunities and theater performances that satisfy both adults and kids. The park's elevators and escalators make it easy to get around for shows, and the first floor has a rich snack street and restaurants, so no worries about the kids running out of energy!

The newly opened 上海宋城 doesn't slack off on its programs—they are substantial, rich, and well-arranged. Let me first talk about the attractions that left the deepest impression on me and that my child loved the most!

A Fantasy Wonderland: 精灵谷

I was blown away by 上海宋城's 精灵谷. Middle-earth Hobbit fairy-tale cottages have appeared in 上海! The 精灵谷 on the top floor is unbelievably cute and exquisite! It's an absolute must-visit for moms with a girlish heart. Rolling green hills, semi-circular cave houses, flower-filled scenery, and exquisite props recreate a fairy-tale scene. Every little wooden door is perfect for photos—snap away and you'll get picture-perfect shots, just like a New Zealand fairy tale!

Don't miss the views inside the doors—there's a whole other world! An interactive fantasy space, a vintage elf restaurant, and furniture make it feel like you've entered a real elf home. Plus, there's cool air-conditioning, so when it gets hot outside, you can rest indoors. My child had an absolute blast inside!

The big slide on the top floor is another paradise where kids never want to leave. The best memories of childhood are playing with good friends. At 上海宋城, Pangpang and Qiaoqiao explored 精灵谷 together, slid down the slide, and played games—so many joyful moments!

A Rich Array of Interactive Shows Through the Ages

In addition to the paid blockbuster shows promoted by 宋城, the admission ticket includes many interactive performances, such as 《小丑滑稽》, 《魔幻泡泡》, 《森林神鸟》, 《水晶球》, 《花之舞曲》, and more, all perfect for children. You can follow the daily schedule to catch them.

1. 《小丑滑稽》: Next to 精灵谷, there is 悬崖剧院 and a small theater. I highly recommend 《小丑滑稽》 in the small theater. Although it’s only ten minutes long, the rhythmic dance, funny interactive performance, and surprise gifts for lucky young audience members are pure magic that makes all the kids burst into laughter!

The performers at 宋城 are all handsome and beautiful. The clown actor even looks like Wang Zijian! His comedic skills are top-notch!

2. 《森林神鸟》: The interactive shows kids love are so abundant! On the first floor, in 鸟秀剧院, 《森林神鸟》 is utterly exciting. The tiny parrots are not only beautiful but also have amazing performance talents! They sing, dance, do fancy cycling tricks, and even ride scooters. Not just kids—adults are amazed too. Near the end of the show, they fly into the audience to interact and hand out candies, and all the children are eager to try!

3. 《丛林的秘密》: In 鸟秀剧院, there's another show especially suitable for kids: 《丛林的秘密》. The actors' performances are vivid and incredibly lifelike! The story is fun and lively, and the acrobatics are spectacular. After the show, children rush to take photos with the handsome jungle men, instantly transported to the forest to feel surprise and joy!

On the first floor outdoor area, besides watching performances, there is a large colorful forest with tents and animal sculptures. At night, you can see twinkling fireflies. The plaza has dinosaur interactions and a water play area—kids have a fantastic time!

High-Tech Parent-Child Show: 《WA！恐龙》

My four-year-old Pangpang can finally sit still and enjoy a show, so I brought him to 上海宋城 for fun! ⭐️ Let's watch 《WA！恐龙》, perfect for kids, especially little boys.

⭐️ With a futuristic and exquisite stage, a tight storyline, the children nervously hold their breath one moment and cheer with excitement the next. The show also includes audience interaction on and off stage. This high-tech, dazzling parent-child drama is a must-see!

⭐️ No spoilers, but here's a plot summary: A time machine revives little dinosaur Abu. Together with the funny doctor, cute LeLe, and the entire audience, big and small, they travel through the magical Jurassic era to experience a fantastic adventure. There are both funny and touching moments. The scene where everyone protects the dinosaur eggs is so much fun! Dinosaur fan kids must not miss it. Realistic Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, and more feast your eyes. It's a more thrilling experience than the zoo or cartoons!

⭐️ With so many specialty shows at 宋城, don't miss this large-scale parent-child stage drama that combines knowledge and entertainment. The high-tech, brilliant visuals and the actors' dynamic dances make it absolutely worth the ticket price!

There are so many Instagram-worthy spots at 上海宋城 for photos. The giant immersive sky screen on 魔幻街 catches the eye, and the colorful magic staircase at dusk is fantastic for cool photos. On 穿越街, you can feel the old 上海 charm—having your child cosplay as you when you were little is just too much fun! Kids can let loose, and parents can take tons of photos. You can also try costume experiences here—whether it's ancient 汉服 or 上海 qipao, you'll look gorgeous while exploring!

Throughout the 宋城 scenic area, signage is very clear, making it easy to reach the theaters and performance locations.

With strong 上海 flair, there's no decision paralysis at 上海宋城. Most interactive play experiences are suited for families. This is a mind-blowing new performing arts park, boasting a prime view of the 黄浦江 riverfront. The night scenery is especially colorful and dazzling—definitely a must-visit family destination!

Tips: Yiyu's travel recommendation👉 上海宋城 visit + parent-child show 《WA！恐龙》 Address: 上海市浦东新区世博大道1750号 Route: Metro Line 13, 世博大道 Station or Line 8, 中华艺术宫 Station Price: For visitors with kids, I suggest buying the 上海宋城 admission ticket plus separate 《WA！恐龙》 parent-child show ticket: one adult + one child 399 yuan, two adults + one child 499 yuan. The admission ticket already includes many attractions! Recommended shows for toddlers: 小丑滑稽 (lots of interaction), 战火 (patriotic education), 森林神鸟 (cute parrots), 魔幻泡泡 (magic bubbles). Don't worry about some shows being unsuitable; for slightly thrilling attractions like 聊斋 haunted house or ghost ship, staff will give reminders, so timid children can easily avoid them!
