Shanghai Family Fun & Science Day Tour

The Shanghai Family Fun & Science Day Tour is a full-day, kid-friendly route combining hands-on learning with outdoor play, ideal for families visiting Shanghai with children. It balances education and energy breaks at an easy pace.

The flagship stop is the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, opened in 2001 and one of China's largest science museums, with interactive halls on robotics, biology, and space.
