Transportation: Take the train to Nantong West Station, and the online car-hailing service that has been booked in advance will arrive in advance, and will usually stop at the online car-hailing service pick-up point.
You can drive directly to the parking lot at the entrance of the wildlife park🅿️
Disen Tribe Reception Center: I booked the Elf Deluxe Mushroom Room of the Sendi Tribe Tree House on Ctrip, which includes tickets for two adults and one child of the wildlife park and the Ice and Snow Ocean Park. Face recognition is performed at the reception center to enter the park. The wildlife park can be freely entered and exited by face recognition from the beginning of registration to check-out. The Ice and Snow Ocean Park has only one chance, which can be the same day or the next day, depending on your schedule. Then the reception center staff will also explain some precautions for the park, such as the self-driving area of the park, the means of transportation in the walking area, etc. Because check-in needs to be at 3 pm, we started our journey after storing our luggage. (The luggage will be sent directly to the nearest post station in the accommodation area for safekeeping, and the room card can also be processed and collected there)
Route: Entering from the reception center is the main entrance of the wildlife park. There is a shuttle bus from the Sendi Tribe, but the shuttle bus can only go to the accommodation area, restaurant and front desk. Because we arrived at mealtime, we had lunch at Papa John's at the Flamingo Station. You can also dine at the Big Circus Station, where there are more choices.
Self-driving area: You can interact with animals up close, and there are many large animals. Since our baby is still very young, we chose a small train to watch the animals from a distance. This cannot be fed, but the final experience is better than expected, and basically all the animals can be seen. Other ways are to drive in by yourself, but you also need to buy a ticket for the car, and there are rental scooters, which have two seats (if the child is very small, you can rent this) 60 yuan/hour and four seats 80 yuan/hour.
Walking area: follow the route of the sightseeing bus: Capybara Station (starting)-Flamingo Station-Giraffe Station-Big Circus Station-Thai Elephant Sea Lion Station-Birds Paradise Station-Tribal Restaurant Station-Sendi Tribe-White Tiger Station-White Beach Station-National Treasure Garden Station-Beast Secret Station-Animal Ranch Station-Capybara Station.
First of all, we can follow the official account of Nantong Forest Wildlife Park on WeChat, which contains the schedule of major performances on the day and smart guides, which is convenient for mastering itinerary arrangements and route planning.
We rented a two-seater scooter at the beginning. Scan the code to rent, deposit 800, return the deposit to the original route, no deposit will be deducted, and the rental fee will be paid separately. The refund is very fast, but the speed is very slow. After visiting a few points, it’s time to return the car. You can return the car at the P point on the rental applet, but there are not many. It’s best to check the return point in advance. Temporary parking is charged by time, and it is charged by minute if it exceeds. The advantage is relatively free, and the disadvantage is high cost.
Later, we bought tickets for the sightseeing bus for 30 yuan/person, wristband tickets, limited to the day, and need to be re-purchased the next day. The journey is a single lap. This is more recommended and cost-effective.
For those with relatively small babies, you can go to the animal farm to feed the animals. You can buy carrots for feeding. Those who are brave enough can go inside to feed. The deer and lambs will follow you all the way and chase you to feed. Our family is really a little timid, so we changed to feeding outside later. There is also the Capybara Station, which is the Capybara. You can feed and lick it, and the children like it very much. We also went to the Panda House. The red panda was chewing bamboo outdoors, but it was facing away from us, which was also very cute. We also took the baby to see the big circus. The baby was a little scared. Maybe the sound effects were too shocking, so he came out not long after watching. Later, we went to many sites to watch various animals.
Next, let’s talk about the mushroom house where we stayed. It is located next to the tree house in the West District. The appearance is super cute, like entering a fairy tale world by mistake. The room layout has a large bed and a small round bed. The room is not very big, but it is very complete and clean. There is no need to worry about mosquitoes at night, and you can sleep peacefully until dawn. We had dinner at the Tribal Restaurant, the food was pretty good, the portion marked on it was 2 to 3 people, but it was actually quite large. Of course, you can also order takeout, and ask the hotel shuttle to deliver it to the nearest post to pick it up, just mark the area and room number.
The biggest highlight is the breakfast at the Tribal Restaurant included in the hotel the next morning, you can have breakfast with the small animals, but it is best to go early so that you can sit by the window, feed and take pictures at close range.
Ice and Snow Ocean Park: You need to get a warm coat to enter the ice and snow area, but it is super cold inside, so you also need to bring warm clothes in advance and wear as much as possible. You can see penguins 🐧 inside, and there are some ice and snow slides. After coming out, it is the Ocean Park, you don’t have to rush to change clothes, go to the central slide area to slide, and there are some amusement projects that are more suitable for children to play.
Finally, my experience of this trip: I had a very comfortable stay, had a lot of fun, the park facilities also take care of young babies, there are mother-and-child rooms in the bathrooms, and the scenery is also great, it's great for taking photos. Friends who like taking photos will definitely love this place, and I'll come back for a deeper visit next time I have the chance.
