They do have a non-slip mat. Make sure your child use it (my child fell twice) - The hotel is attached to a gym and a pool. You can use that facility. - If you go during the winter, you might need someone to teach you how to use the heaters. I have been there twice and both time, the AC was set to air conditioner during the winter. I had to call #3 for them to send someone to turn on the heaters in the rooms. - The kitchen only have a set for 2 people (very basic). They do have 2 pots. If you are planing to stay there for longer than 3 days and expect to eat in the apartment, you might have to get your own kitchen utensils. - They have a gas stove. Be careful with your child. No oven. - They do not have a ramp but if you go to the Sea Food Restaurant right beside the hotel, they do have a ramp for the stroller. Once you are in the restaurant, just turn right and you will be in the Hotel's lobby. - Ask for a Non-Smoking room, otherwise, they give you a smoky one. They have 2 floors that are no smoking: 8F and another one (sorry, I forgot, please someone review) - Check in is at 12:00 - Check out is at 12:00 - When booking by phone, you do not have to deposit money, but if you dont check in before 6pm., you might loose the room (unless you deposit) - Make sure you have your passport when checking in. - Breakfast: RMB35/per one (This information was updated on Dec. 2012)

 * Price**: Adults 60RMB, children over 1.3m 45RMB,children under 1.3m free
 * Description**: Huge hands-on science museum with displays/exhibitions for all ages. Our kids were happily entertained in Children's Rainbow Land (designed for 3-10 year olds) for a good two hours and also enjoyed the robotics and light displays. The museum was so big we didn't get to anything else. There are also IMAX films. The basement area has a dining room serving kid-friendly Western and Chinese food and there is a coffee shop on Floor 2. Bathrooms have baby changing facilities. Note: we visited mid-week and it was quiet but weekends may be busy. Museum is closed on Mondays.

Not scary or gross--just different from what westerners find in a typical pet store. Can navigate with a stroller, thought the aisles can get narrow. Toddlers might get a little grabby at the tables, so watch closely. Other Details: The Market on Foursquare Shanghai Pet Markets Lonely Planet's Info

=Huangpu River Cruise= Location: Contact: Description: This activity is great for everyone. Take a break from walking and have a short boat ride along the Huangpu River. Price (approx.): 100RMB Kids Friendly Features: - Kids love being on a boat. You can experience the most amazing view of Shanghai here! - Be prepared with healthy food for your kids. They have a small bar for drinks and a bit of food, but there is not much selection for healthy food. - If you go with a stroller, you might have to stay in the first floor and enjoy the view from there (or take turn to go upstairs and see a better view) - Best to go at night to see the beautiful lights in Shanghai City. - If you have a toddler or child who is potty trained, make sure you go to the toilet as soon as you get on the cruise (before it becomes a mess). - If you are planing to go during the winter to enjoy the view from the top of the cruise, make sure you have enough clothes for you and your kids because it can get very cold. - The boats leave every half an hour. You could make reservation but I find it better to just go when you can/want. - The visiting time is about one hour.

Shanghai Urban Museum
Location: The Urban Planning Museum at 100, Renmin Avenue, is located in Shanghai’s People’s Square, within walking distance of the Shanghai Museum, the city’s Grand Theater, and the municipal government building. Take the Shanghai Metro (Line 1 or 2) to People’s Square Station. Contact: Description:The museum captures the city’s architectural past, present, and future in six floors of exhibits. At the heart of the museum is a scale model of Shanghai’s inner ring area that takes most of the third floor.The museum also houses a photography exhibit of Shanghai past and present, an architectural bookstore, a space for changing exhibits and a cafe. Price (approx.): ¥30 ($4.40) Kids Friendly Features: - It has a very small interactive exhibits for younger visitors. Kids (and adults) can "design" their own city in a touching screen. - This museum might be more appropriate for bigger kids that appreciate architectural models. I went with my 3 years old daughter and she only enjoy the interactive exhibits. - Although this is a "Urban" Museum, we did not find a ramp for our stroller. Maybe it was somewhere else but we did not find it. (Please correct me if I am wrong) Hours of Operation: 9 a.m. -5 p.m. daily (Ticket sales end at 4 p.m.)

** Shanghai Natural Wild Insect Kingdom ( 大自然野生昆虫馆)**
Location:1 Fenghe Lu, near the Pearl Tower (Pudong) | 浦东新区丰和路1号近东方明珠. Walking distance from the Pearl Tower.If you are on the main street, you will see a brown sign that said "Insect Museum" Contact: 021-58405921 Description: All though it is called "Insect Museum", there are more snakes and fish that insect. It is bigger than what I expected. Price (approx.): ¥30 for kids and 40¥ for adults Kids Friendly Features: - Kids can see many animals and insect (from cockroaches, monkeys, to a seal swimming in a tiny sad tank) - There is a pond where you can feed the Kois for 1RMB. - They also have kind of a pet zoo (rabbits, Ginnie pigs, birds, 2 goats and hamsters) where you can feed the animals for 2RMB (I would recommend you to bring your own vegetables because the one they sell you is dry and sad) - There is a shallow pool where the kids can go and catch their own fish. You can rent a bucket and a net where the toy shop is. If you dont mind your kids getting wet, this might be fun for them. I saw some parents with a hair drier trying to dry their kids socks and shoes. I am not sure if they are from the Museum or they actually brought them. Just bring another pair of pants and have your child in that pool with no shoes (easier) Other Details: - Kids like it but some of the tanks (where insects, snakes, frogs, tortoise and other animals are) are too high. So get ready to hold your child if she/he is under 7 years old. - This place is definitely NOT stroller friendly. They have a ramp to get into the building but somehow, the door right in front of the ramp is closed. (!). To go to the basement (where most of the exhibition takes place), you might need to carry the stroller down (!) - There are no restaurants and places selling food. Bring you own food. You can eat your food in front of the shallow pool. There is an area designated for this.

Hours of Operation: Daily 9am-5pm (last ticket sold at 4:30) (Please someone review) (This information was updated on Dec. 2012) If you need more info, you can check: http://gochina.about.com/od/shanghaiforkids/p/Wild_Insect_Kingdom.htm
