On a cold winter day in northern China, there's nothing better than an indoor children's playground! My best friend recommended Baoyan Amusement Park in Dahongmen. It's said to take up an entire floor and boast numerous facilities and fun activities, so I couldn't wait to check it out with my little girl!

Although I was prepared for the idea of an indoor playground spanning approximately 20,000 square meters, I was still stunned by its sheer size! Baoyan Amusement Park boasts two major theme parks: the Castle Park and the Four-Season Constant Temperature Water Park. Either one is three to four times the size of similar parks. It's really like throwing your kids in there and letting them play all day long. They won't go home until closing time...

Unlike most children's playgrounds that use primary colors of red, yellow, and blue, Baoyan Park's colors are all light and pastel macaron tones, which give people a soft and comfortable feeling. Every photo you take is a masterpiece! You can even take children's portraits here! The park also has a dedicated dress-up area with tons of beautiful princess dresses and exquisite accessories to choose from, and the price is only 30 yuan per day. It's really not expensive to realize your princess dream!

【Castle Park】

The Castle Park is suitable for all ages and can be divided into two areas: active and quiet.

The quiet area at the entrance is more suitable for babies. There are many career experience areas where you can put on uniforms to experience simulated hospitals, simulated banks, and simulated supermarkets. The most popular one is the little firefighter experience. Wearing a fire suit to put out a fire is really cool!

The sand pool and playground are also relatively more suitable for younger children. The snow-white sand pool is filled with polyethylene granules that look like rice grains. They are safe, non-toxic, odorless, and very photogenic! The playground is very large. Although I have never understood the fun of inflatable parks, my little girl loves it. Once she enters, she feels like she has been on a stunt and can jump for half an hour. It's a rare opportunity to browse her phone in peace outside...

The all-ages playground is the park's most popular area, featuring slides, climbing frames, air vents, and tossing games. It's a dreamlike little world unto itself. The refreshing pink, blue, and white color scheme creates a sophisticated feel for photos.

Kids who love Lego shouldn’t miss the world of building blocks here. There are so many large blocks that you can use your imagination to build a small house. Not to mention the children, even elderly parents can have a whole day here...

The dynamic theater is located in a separate corridor and is easy to miss, but it is really exciting! The 5D Hualing Valley is like riding a real roller coaster, going up and down, left and right, and spraying water. The little girl played it three times and still wanted more; the 7D Treasure Hunter allows you to experience the joy of playing shooting games in a simulated scene, which is very popular among boys!

【Four Seasons Constant Temperature Water Park】

Although my little girl has loved playing in the water since she was little and is a good swimmer, she has always been afraid of water slides. Baoyan Paradise's water park is very user-friendly, allowing you to start with the shorter, slower slides and gradually increase the difficulty until you have the courage to challenge the highest level. This time, my little girl successfully completed the high-speed water slide area, played on seven rotating slides and three wave slides, and played until the water park closed. She was so proud!

【Park Facilities】

The water park's bathrooms are also well-equipped, with lockers, makeup tables, and hairdryers. The shower area provides shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and skin cream. The park also boasts an equally attractive family restaurant. Compared to the overpriced restaurants at many children's parks, Baoyan Park's prices are incredibly reasonable! The menu is primarily Western, and the food is excellent. I recommend the Japanese curry beef rice; the generous portions are impressive! The park also has numerous drink vending machines. If Western food isn't your thing, you can also find a wide selection of Chinese, seafood, and ramen dishes at the mall.

The sanitary facilities in the park are not only clean, but also considerate. Children's washbasin, children's moisturizer, boys' urinal in the women's bathroom, single mother-and-child room with sofa, details determine quality, and Baoyan Paradise has done a very good job in this regard.

【Tips】

2. Swimsuits and caps are required at the water park. If you plan to go on the water slides, it's recommended you bring your own goggles. You can also give your child a swim ring or inflatable water sleeves. Shared toiletries are provided in the showers, but you should bring your own towels and toiletries. If you forget to bring your own, there's a children's shop at the entrance where you can buy them.
