Where in Beijing can you spend a day with your kids this summer? How about a trip to the the Beijing Zoo and Aquarium? It’s a wonderful place for families to enjoy some time together, rain or shine.
The regular price for tickets in the summer months is RMB 8 for students and RMB 15 for adults (plus an extra RMB 5 if you wish to see the pandas, which is well worth the additional cost).

Upon arriving at the Zoo you will be greeted by an ornate entrance gate that one marked the front of a Qing dynasty aristocrat's private garden. Walk in and you will soon be amongst the animals, including pandas, lions, tigers and monkeys, just to name a few.
