Beautiful garden with frequent exhibitions and always something different in season/bloom. The indoor conservatories are fantastic and a favourite of the kids.
There is an atmosphere of peace, tranquility, exploration and fun underlying the entire park.
The garden is huge - too big to see (and walk) everything in one day. It's a popular spot for day visits, many families bring tents and enjoy the weather and the environment.
The permanent gardens are beautiful - lots of flowers/trees/plants of the varieties. Employees here are very friendly an helpful.
There are MANY public washrooms, snack vendors (including ice cream for the kids and ramen) so walking is not a concern. But many people use the bus or the seated bicycle pedi-cabs that are available and they are worth it.
If you are a photographer or have an interest in it be sure to check out the numerous hobbyists around the park, some of the equipment is spectacular and they are very helpful with advice in...
Read moreSimilar with Garden by the bay. Beautiful garden with 3 main domes. Aesthetically made in every corner with ground aircon within few steps.

The garden on the basement (in front of expo entrance) was closed...
Read moreSpent a wonderful couple of hours at Shanghai's Botanical Garden on a very warm day. I went at the start of April and the whole park was very colourful and beautiful. You could take a ride on a cart or on a boat if you wanted to. There are small restaurants and places to grab drinks/food. You could spend hours at the park going down the various paths, the park has plenty of grassy areas (with and without shade) where you can sit and have a picnic. A great place to go whether by yourself, as a couple, with friends or with family!
Price: 15RMB for just the entrance fee. 40RMB if you want to get into extra areas in the park such as the Conservatory.
Short 10 minute walk South from Shilong Road (Line 3)...
