Why Families Love Jinjiang Action Park
Jinjiang Action Park is Shanghai vintage amusement park running since the 1980s with a charmingly retro feel -- wooden roller coasters, bumper cars, and a massive ferris wheel with skyline views. It has an old-school carnival atmosphere with gentle rides for under-10s and the Giant Drop and wooden coaster for thrill-seeking tweens. Not as polished as modern parks but full of character and much more affordable.

A Real Parent's Story
The Day We Went Back in Time (and Loved It)
“My kids loved this faded time capsule more than glossy modern parks -- because it had soul and no queues.”
Read full story
I was skeptical. The paint is peeling on some rides. But we went on a Tuesday afternoon and it was nearly empty. The kids ran from ride to ride with no queues. My 7-year-old rode bumper cars five times in a row. The wooden roller coaster is genuinely thrilling. The ferris wheel at sunset was spectacular. It cost about 400 RMB total for a family of four with unlimited wristbands. Kids do not care about polish -- they care about fun.
