The ocean world... really has a healing power.
Our family has been to the Grandview Aquarium before. We had a great experience last time, and we saw that there was a new Chinese New Year event called the Great Tang Lantern Festival, which looked very festive, so we took our baby there again after the winter break.
This time, we had a great experience too. Our baby not only saw dolphins, penguins, sea lions, and other marine animals, but also felt the strong festive atmosphere!
✅ Address: 2/F, Grandview Mall, Tianhe District, Guangzhou
🚇 Subway: Exit D3, Tiyu Xilu Station, Line 1
🅿 Parking: We recommend parking at Tianhe Sports Center (CNY 1.5/30 mins for the first 3 hours, CNY 4/30 mins after 3 hours. If you want to save money, it's best not to drive there, as it's very close to the subway station).
🎫 Tickets: CNY 220 per adult, free for children under 1 meter
📸 Ancient Style Photo Spots:
The God of Wealth Gate is right at the entrance, so remember to take a photo! Then, walk along the Fortune Street, and the lights in the Jellyfish Corridor are beautiful! Pose in the Secret Realm of the Fortune Street and in front of the theater for a New Year photo. The Underwater Tunnel is also a great place for photos! Finally, the Poseidon photo spot on the God of Wealth Avenue is definitely a highlight!
🐟 Underwater Lion Dance:
Mermaids and lion dancers dance together, you heard it right! It's really innovative and the performance is amazing! It gives children a great artistic atmosphere and a taste of the traditional lion dance culture. We really love this performance!
The performance is at 11:30 and 15:30 every day. We recommend arriving early to get a good spot, as it's definitely worth it!
🧧 New Year Stamp Collection:
Follow the God of Wealth NPC (Jellyfish Secret Realm, Love Forever, Deep Sea Wonders) to find the hidden fortune animals. Collect all 6 for a surprise gift. Our baby really liked this part, and every time we checked in, he couldn't take his eyes off the God of Wealth, haha~
🐘 Sea Lions and Walruses:
The walrus is the star of the Grandview Aquarium, and it has also changed into a New Year's outfit, looking so cute and chubby!
They not only send New Year blessings, but also interact with the audience, which is very interesting.
🚇 Summary:
Grandview Mall is conveniently located and has everything you need for food, drinks, and entertainment. It's really great for families. The Grandview Aquarium's Great Tang Lantern Festival is a great place for babies to see marine animals and feel the festive atmosphere, and it's a great place for photos.
It's a great place to take your baby during the winter break. I also took my relatives from out of town to play here when they came to Guangzhou for the New Year, and they all gave it a thumbs up!
