Top Things to Do in Beijing with Kids πŸ§‘β€πŸ§‘β€πŸ§’

Beijing isn’t the easiest city to travel with kids. 😲


It’s big, crowded, and more impressive than it is entertaining.


So instead of trying to do everything, focus on a few experiences that are interactive, flexible, and actually enjoyable. 🎈

Here are three unique experiences for families with children:

🐼 Pandas at Beijing Zoo (Low effort, high success rate)

This is your safest bet.

Kids don’t care where they are globally.

Pandas = instant engagement. 🀩

Tickets:

  • Combo ticket (zoo entrance + panda house): 14-19 RMB
  • Zoo entrance only: 10-15 RMB
  • Panda house only: 5 RMB
  • Kids under 6yo or 1.2m: free

🚲 Hutong Biking (This is where kids stop complaining)

Exploring hutongs by bike turns the city into something kids can actually enjoy. 😏

  • No long, exhausting walks
  • Constant stimulation (snacks, shops, street life)
  • Freedom to stop anytime

On Our Beijing‘s hutong bike experience, we also provide child seats upon request, so even younger kids can join comfortably. πŸ‘§πŸ‘Ά

🧸 Chaoyang Park + Pop Mart Land (This is your β€œeveryone relax” stop) 🧚

  • Open space (rare luxury in Beijing)
  • Kids can run instead of being told to β€œstay close” every 5 seconds
  • Chaoyang Park is free, with large lawns and simple play areas
  • Easy food options + no cultural pressure + bathrooms that don’t test your resilience, all at shopping complex Solana just next to the park

Inside Chaoyang Park, you’ll find Pop Mart Land (Pop Mart City Park): πŸͺ„

  • Rides, shows, snacks, and shopping
  • Tickets: 88 RMB (weekday) / 118 RMB (weekend)
  • Very high Labubu concentration

FAQ:

1️⃣ Is Beijing baby‑friendly for travelers?

Not really — too crowded.

But these three places above are great: Beijing Zoo (rent strollers), Our Beijing’s hutong bike tour (child seats), and Chaoyang Park (flat paths). Also Solana has super clean nursing rooms. So pick your spots wisely~ πŸ˜„

Pandas’ meal time: 8:00-10:00

Pandas’ snack time: 10:30, 13:30, 15:30
