Shenzhen Safari Park

Went with a group of friends and we had such a fun day. The Siberian tiger interaction got my heart racing—you sit in an enclosed truck while they walk around, and one sniffed right at the window. The bird show was surprisingly entertaining, with parrots doing little tricks. My only small tip: bring your own snacks because the food stalls are meh. But the ticket price is reasonable for the number of exhibits. Absolutely recommend for anyone who loves animals.

This was my third visit and I still love it. The morning light through the bamboo forest near the monkey enclosure is just beautiful. I like to come early before the tour groups arrive and feed the long-eared goats in the petting area. The dolphin show is spectacular—I've seen better in other countries but the trainers here seem genuinely warm. It isn't the newest zoo, but the animals seemed well cared for and the whole park has a relaxed vibe. A great escape from the high-rise city.

A solid day out if you're in Shenzhen with family. The free-roaming area with the white tigers is the main draw, and the walk-through bird zone didn't disappoint. I knocked off one star because queuing for the safari bus took over an hour even on a Tuesday. We didn't manage to see the panda enclosure as it was too crowded. Still, the park is clean, the staff were friendly, and the kids had a blast.

I wanted to love this place because the animals look healthy and the grounds are quite green. However, the overall experience felt tired. The map on the app didn't match the signs, and some exhibits were closed for renovation without any notice online. I also found the on-site food overpriced and bland. The safari truck part made up for some frustration, but with the admission cost and crowds, I left a little underwhelmed. It's not terrible—just manage your expectations.

Took my two kids here on a weekday and it was honestly a highlight of our Shenzhen trip. We booked the safari bus ride right away—seeing the tigers and lions roaming so close to the truck was thrilling, even for me. The lemur area is charming, and the dolphin show got my daughter cheering. It's a big space, so wear comfy shoes. The park is a bit dated in places, but the animal interaction experiences make up for it. Definitely worth a half-day.

Got here right at opening and had the place almost to myself for the first hour. The morning mist over the lake and the sound of gibbons calling made it feel more like a nature reserve than a conventional zoo. I jogged the outer loop before the crowds arrived, then took the cable car for a bird’s-eye view of the whole park. The staff were friendly and the restrooms were spotless. For the price, this is one of Shenzhen's best outdoor activities.

We went on a Sunday and expected chaos, but it was actually well-organised. The long-necked giraffe feeding platform is a must – you can feel their rough tongues on your palm and get amazing photos of the misty hills behind. The little train around the safari zone is slow enough to spot leopards lying on rocks and rhinos rolling in mud. My partner is not a zoo person, but even he loved the free-flight bird show. We'll come again next season.

I wanted to like this place because the reviews are so glowing, but my visit left me a little flat. The shuttle inside costs extra, which feels cheap after paying 200+ RMB for entry. More importantly, I saw several animals pacing back and forth, and the elephant area looked bare and hot. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the park prioritises shows over animal welfare. The flamingo pond was beautiful, though. Overall, okay if you’ve never been to a safari park, but I won’t rush back.

Came on a weekday morning and it was still pretty busy with school groups. The animals look healthy and the layout is easy to follow, but some of the newer exhibits feel a bit small, especially for the big cats. The dolphin show was entertaining though I wish they focused more on rescue stories than tricks. We got a combo ticket online so the price was reasonable, but I wouldn't pay full walk-up price. A good zoo, just not a great one.

We spent a full day here and still didn't see everything! The safari bus ride through the lion and tiger areas was the highlight – our kids screamed with excitement when a white tiger walked right next to the window. The walk-through aviary is lovely too, with peacocks wandering freely. We brought our own snacks, which helped, and the shaded paths kept it manageable in the heat. Definitely a top day out in Shenzhen.

Totally exceeded expectations! Came here with zero expectations and left super impressed. The walk-through kangaroo enclosure is so interactive – one even hopped right next to me. The staff encouraged us to take pictures without rushing anyone. Prices for souvenirs were reasonable, and the ice cream was surprisingly good. I’d come back again just to see the giraffe feeding deck. Definitely a 5-star attraction in my book.

This place is a gem! I’m not usually a fan of zoos, but Shenzhen Safari Park does a great job balancing education and entertainment. The reptile house had amazing lighting that made the snakes look stunning. I also loved the free-flight bird show – the trainers clearly care about the animals. Clean restrooms, plenty of seating, and even a little train to hop on if your feet get tired. A must-do for anyone visiting Shenzhen!

Absolutely blew my expectations! The park is huge, well-maintained, and the variety of animals is incredible. I spent almost 5 hours walking and still didn’t see everything. The parrot feeding area and the panda house were my personal favorites. Staff were friendly and the signage was clear. One of the best zoo experiences I’ve had in China – highly recommend arriving early to avoid the midday crowds.

Our family spent a full day here and it was a pretty solid experience overall. The safari bus tour was fun – got really close to the lions and zebras. My kid loved the petting zoo area, though the animals there looked a bit tired. Food options inside were overpriced and mediocre, but I guess that’s expected. Worth the trip if you plan ahead and bring your own snacks. A good day out, just not mind-blowing.

Honestly, I had mixed feelings about Shenzhen Safari Park. The animal enclosures felt a bit cramped in some areas, especially for the larger mammals. We waited nearly 40 minutes at the entrance because the ticket scanning system kept glitching. The highlight was definitely the white tiger show – that was impressive. But for the price, I expected cleaner walkways and more shade. It’s okay for a one-time visit but nothing extraordinary.

Honestly, I was a bit let down. The entrance fee is steep – 240 RMB for an adult – and once inside, many of the animals were just lying around doing nothing. The reptile house was especially disappointing, with dim lighting and dusty glass. The park feels a bit dated in places, and the map we got was confusing. The only highlight was the dolphin show, which was fun for kids. But for someone traveling solo, I didn't feel it was worth the money or the time. Would probably skip next time.

Good day out overall, but not perfect. The variety of animals is impressive – especially the bird collection, which is why I came. However, some enclosures felt a bit small and a few animals looked lethargic (maybe it was just the heat). The staff were friendly enough, but the queue for the panda exhibit was annoyingly long. The park itself is clean and the landscaping is nice. I'd give it a 4 – decent value if you get a discounted ticket, but full price feels a touch high.

What a gem! I wasn't expecting the Shenzhen Safari Park to be this immersive. The walk-through aviary was incredible – birds flying just inches above your head. And the little train that takes you around the African savanna section? Pure joy. The park is huge but well-signposted, and there are plenty of shaded rest areas. I went on a weekday so it wasn't crowded at all. Felt like a real escape from the city. 5 stars without hesitation.

Took my 6-year-old here and she was absolutely mesmerized. The safari bus tour was a hit – getting so close to the lions and bears from inside the vehicle felt safe but thrilling. The animal performances were well-organized and the trainers clearly care about the animals. We spent almost the whole day and didn't get bored. My only tiny complaint is that food options are a bit overpriced, but that's expected at places like this. Overall a fantastic family outing – we'll definitely come back!

Absolutely loved our day at Shenzhen Safari Park! The highlight was feeding the giraffes – they are so gentle and the interaction felt really special. The park is massive, so wear comfortable shoes, but it's worth every step. Saw the giant pandas munching on bamboo, the Siberian tigers lounging in the sun, and even a hilarious sea lion show. Everything was clean and well-maintained. Definitely one of the best zoo experiences I've had in Asia. Can't recommend it enough!

Absolutely top-notch! The staff were friendly and helpful, the park layout is easy to navigate, and the animal performances are world-class. I especially loved the elephant show and the chance to pet some friendly goats in the petting zone. The entry fee is reasonable given how much there is to see and do. A perfect outing for couples, families, or solo travelers.

What an amazing day! The Shenzhen Safari Park exceeded all my expectations. The drive-through safari section is a must-do—saw lions and bears roaming freely just meters away. The tropical bird aviary was stunning too. I also appreciated the shaded rest areas and clean restrooms. Everything felt well-cared-for. Highly recommend spending a full day here.

This place is an absolute gem! Took my two kids here and they haven't stopped talking about it. The animal shows—especially the dolphin performance—were fantastic. We fed the giraffes and got some incredible photos. The whole park is clean and well-organized. Definitely one of the best zoo experiences in China. Will be coming back for sure!

A solid experience overall! The variety of animals is impressive—loved seeing the white tigers and the giraffes up close. The safari bus ride through the wild zone was thrilling. Only downside: some walkways near the reptile house needed better maintenance, and the food stands are overpriced. Still, a fun day out with the family. I'd recommend it with a few caveats.

Honestly, I was a bit let down. The park feels a bit run-down compared to other zoos I've visited. Many animals looked lethargic and the enclosures seemed small. The tram ride was okay, but the commentary wasn't very engaging. For the price, I expected more. Maybe it was just an off day, but I wouldn't rush to go back.

One of the best wildlife parks I've visited in China. The tiger feeding session at 3pm is a must‑see. I also loved the botanical garden section tucked in the back—peaceful and green. Staff were patient with questions and even gave us extra time at the petting zoo. Highly recommend for animal lovers.

Best zoo experience in Shenzhen bar none. Our toddler was mesmerized by the giant tortoises and the monkey hill. The sea lion show was both educational and hilarious. We spent almost 6 hours and still didn't see everything. Great value for the money—especially the combo ticket with the aquarium.

Absolutely loved it! Got there early and almost had the whole place to ourselves. The flamingo area is stunning, and the walk-through aviary let us feed parrots right from our hands. Train ride through the herbivore zone was a highlight. Clean bathrooms and helpful staff. Definitely coming back!

A nice day out with family, though the heat was brutal. The safari bus ride was fun—lions and tigers were surprisingly active. Kids loved the penguin pool. Downside: food stalls are overpriced and the queues for everything are long. Worth a visit if you plan ahead and bring snacks.

Visited on a Saturday and it was packed. The animals looked healthy enough, but the enclosures felt small and outdated. The dolphin show was okay but way too crowded. Pricey for what you get—₿200 per adult feels steep when most exhibits are just concrete pits. Wouldn't rush back.

Average zoo experience for the price. The safari bus tour was short but fun. Unfortunately, several exhibits were closed for renovation when I visited, which wasn't mentioned online. The staff were friendly, but I expected a bit more for the ticket cost. Not terrible, just not as exciting as I hoped.

A magical morning — the highlight was definitely the elephant encounter. You can tell the zookeepers genuinely care about the animals. The botanical gardens within the park are a peaceful bonus. Grab the map at the entrance or you'll miss half the exhibits like I almost did! 5 stars for the unique mix of wildlife and nature.

I really wanted to love this place, but the crowd management was a letdown. It was so packed on a Saturday that we could barely see the dolphin show. The food options inside are overpriced and mediocre. The animals seemed well cared for, but the whole experience felt rushed and stressful. Maybe better on a weekday.

A solid experience overall. The variety of animals is impressive — saw giraffes, zebras, and even some rare white tigers. The park is quite big so wear comfortable shoes. My only small complaint is that some of the older cages feel a bit dated, but the newer sections more than make up for it. Would recommend for a family outing.

Had an absolutely amazing day here! The lion feeding show was incredible, and the walk-through aviary let me get so close to the peacocks. My kids couldn't stop talking about the panda enclosure — so clean and well-maintained. Definitely worth the trip from downtown Shenzhen. I'll be coming back next season!

We had a decent day here, but the price feels steep for what you get. The kids loved the petting zoo and the merry-go-round, but food inside is ridiculously expensive — a basic burger combo cost around 80 RMB. The staff were courteous, though, and we appreciated the free shuttle between sections. Good for a one-time visit, but not somewhere I'd return often.

What a beautiful setting! The park is nestled against a lush green hillside, and the landscaping is gorgeous — lots of trees, flowers, and ponds. I especially enjoyed the aviary section where birds fly freely around you. The picnic areas are well shaded and clean. If you appreciate nature more than flashy attractions, this place is a gem. Highly recommend!

Honestly, I was a bit let down. The park has potential, but many animals looked lethargic or were hiding in the shade. The walking paths are quite worn, and the signage in English is poor. I saw a few empty enclosures too. For the ticket price, I expected more activity and better upkeep. Not terrible, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

A solid experience overall, though it gets very crowded on weekends. The animal shows are entertaining, especially the dolphin performance. However, the lines for the tram can be long (we waited almost an hour). The park has a nice variety of animals, but some enclosures feel a bit small. Still worth a visit if you plan ahead and go early.

Absolutely loved our day at Shenzhen Safari Park! The open-air tram ride through the safari zone was a highlight — we got so close to the giraffes and rhinos. My kids were thrilled feeding the elephants. The whole place is well maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely a must-do if you're in Shenzhen with family!
