We went there on January 2020 with 2 children 2 and 5. (For being low season there was no queuing) You can go directly per metro and enter in the south entrance. All by all the experience was great! But my heart broken when we saw the pandas in such a poor condition and really placed as THE attraction of the safari. No respect for the animals, very noisy lots of shops before and after each area, and noisy music. By chance we ended the safari with the train and this part was beautiful. Then a big walk through dinosaurs (funny) monkeys reptiles exotic birds. All by all very nice and a must do with children’s in Guangzhou. But noisy and lots of plastics toys selling. It is more like a Disney world for animals rather than an ecological and respectful area for animals.

It was a very fun experience for our son (3 yrs old).
Very up close and personal with the animals. Enjoyed watching the pandas. Cutest ever alive.
Have some “fake” dinosaurs during the walk which my son enjoyed, since he is a fan of dinosaurs. So it a great combo for him.
Walks were very cooling since it is during winter season.
The only thing I have to comment for a dislike is the tram ride. The exhaust smokes kept coming to us. China is going into EV, perhaps safari can consider changing to EV for their tram ride.

It's like a second rate zoo on steroids. Animals kept in poor conditions along with rather small enclosures.
There's a souvenir shop at every attraction so with two small children they get some of your coin eventually. We found it some what over crowded with alot of pushing and shoving however the children did not mind as they thought it was some kind of game and held their own.
I would not go again due to the above.

16 years after visiting this zoo in love, we are back with family. The Safari part is still as pleasant and the more classic zoo part has expanded well (prehistory area) and point of importance we do most of the visit in the shade thanks to paths widely lined with trees. Also at 35°C the visit is possible with children.
Only catch, the Award of drinks and food is quite high (same with Awards in France see more).
Regarding animals, I find that they have rather space and seem healthy.
In 1 day we did not do the whole park, plan 2 days with family to be quiet.
A visit that we highly recommend.

Visiting the zoo was a pleasant experience as it is spacious, new and well organized. But it is too crouded (maybe because we went there on Saturday). We had to queue for about an hour for the cable car and more than half an hour for safari. It was a bit annoying, but it is the problem of all similar parks.

Apparently one of the best in China and I can see why. Big enclosures, rare animals and lots of information on species and history. We spent most time with the koalas, pandas and tigers and spent nearly 6 hours there. Longest I've ever stayed in a zoo. Easy to get to by Didi. Only annoying thing was loud music (very Chinese and they promote merchandise everywhere) which must be somewhat disturbing also to the animals. Nite we were there during CNY so that was maybe the reason. All in all, great experience and worth the 350RMB price tag

Chimelong is an amazing place to enjoy and explore. The park is massive and there isn't enough time in the day to go through all the rides.. The fun doesn't stop here.. From 3d to 5d theatres and a variety of roller-coaster rides, your day at the park is filled with plenty of great features such as water features and dance party around the other end.. Truly phenomenal experience...

The safari park is amazing! A great zoo, but way more than that. The cable car and train and worth the whole price of admission. Even as English only speakers we had no problem. Staying at the chimelong hotel was a big benefit...express line for the big experiences.

I think it would be hard to beat this place as The Best Zoo in the World. You can get very close to the Pandas as they do their thing. It has almost every animal imaginable. It has a cable car that flys over the African Savana. All the animals look well cared for, and displayed well. We are definitely returning on our next trip.

Hi, my answer would be to contact chimalong tourist information, they will tell you ,what bus you need from where you are staying, i stayed at one of theresort hotels ,so didnt need the bus, or ask them how much a taxi is, it would be quicker,Proberty more expensiive, there are lots of diffrent buses, ands bus routes, make sure you know whic par you want, iechimalong safari park, is a animal park,oppersite they have waterpark,with music,but if you want to see the penguins and dolphins, thereat ocean kingdom, which is2 hrsaway, make sure u know which park your coming to, also they only deal in cash, no cards of any kind, if you want to take the little buses or jeeps inside the park, as there are long distances to walk, and it can be very hot, they als cash only,no food or drink allowed in the park, they have there own inside but you can rent lockers for the day, be awear they search you, and it can case long delays,if u get time see the pandas, amend take a safari ride by little train,great fun, lucky you, iv been 5 times!!,book the ticket on line to save time, rember the last 4 letters of your booking, they have a ticket machine ,where u can exchange your on line booing for areal ticket, if u go in and out, make sure u get your hand stamped, lucky you enjoy, hope this has helped, some of them do speak english, but very limited,if you use google translate, you might b of line. So take a small Chinese phrase book, it might help

Hi! We want to visit both the Chimelong safari park and the ocean park. Is there a shuttle bus in between the two parks? thanks!
Written 15 January 2019
Yes if your staying at one of the 3 park hotels,i dont think otherwise, it takes 2 hrs, by bus, it leaves at 10am, comes back 3 pm, so you have5 hrs there., it depends what you i want to see, you’ll might not get to see the evening fireworks, or the parade, but if its just the animals, it’s worth seagoing, chimalong, have there own web site for tickets!,enjoy i loved it

Can we actually buy the ticket there ? Or we have to book online ? Cheaper to buy online or same price ?
Written 5 October 2018
Hello, I confirm that you can buy tickets both at ticket booths at the entrance of the park but also online (either on the official Chimelong website or on tour operators).
Please note that you can also purchase combo tickets for 2 parks, for example the Safari Park and the International Circus.
