How much is the ticket for the Old Cow Children's Discovery Hall?

This is children's favorite thing to play with! There are some toys in it. You may feel a little bored, but children like them very much. Most of the children in it are 2-3 years old. Similar to kindergarten, children have a good time and there are many children every day.

Address: Located in the courtyard of China Children's Center, No.43 Ping 'anli West Street, Xicheng District, Beijing.

Admission: Adults can bring a child to play for free, and 20 yuan is alone.

Children who have lived in Beijing's Old West City probably remember China Children's Center, which is located in the northeast corner of Guanyuan Bridge on Ping 'an Street. It has a thick dark gray high fence and a south-facing gate. There used to be a ticket booth at the door. As far as I can remember, tickets are sometimes bought and sometimes useless, and most of them are useless.

At that time, my family lived in Li Pingan, not far from beijing amusement park and Taoranting. So far, I can't get used to roller coasters or pirate ships. The only thing I've ever done is to slide on a snowy mountain and fall head first. But the children's center, almost every week.

At that time, although the children's center was small and complete, there were sparrows to eat and play with, and they could visit and experience, show movies regularly and on time, and have many functions such as patriotism education, making friends and shopping. This is really a paradise for the children around.

Turn right into the gate and then turn east. The first recreational facility was a monorail bicycle in mid-air. I can walk a circle in less than ten minutes, which is exciting enough for a young man, especially where I turn the corner. Bicycles are always hitched several times at the junction of two tracks, which is particularly stressful. But now it's a parking lot.

At that time, under the bicycle lane, there were swivel chairs, slides, swings, wooden bridges and climbing frames full of knots, which were roughly similar in shape to the fitness equipment in the community now. Among them, the swing is the most popular, and the team can't get up for half a day. On both sides of the slide, there are often nervous adults to protect their children.

There are sculptures of young pioneers and heroes on the opposite side of the bike. Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, the school will organize children to sweep graves. It was here that I first learned that you can use your eyes to sweep graves. I found a photo of that year and took one for my daughter this time. My friend said that we are very similar. What really needs cleaning is this sculpture.

As far as I can remember, vendors will set up stalls in front of the statue, and pinball, Rubik's cube, iron frog, sticky Spider-Man, pirated Transformers, and a box of clothes for my Sandy doll will all be bought here.

Keep going east, and you will soon see a roller skating rink. There are iron railings around the site, and only a small door is opened next to the toll booth, with a roof on the head and white and green marble at the foot. The paving process is quite extensive, and there are always potholes and cracks on the brick surface, but even so, it is still crowded at the weekend.

Only four-wheel double-row skates with straps. The wheel is welded on a steel plate in the shape of a sole. The steel plate has a front gear and is divided into three sizes: large, medium and small. Then, fasten it to your shoes with a green military canvas belt, and you can slide. Novices like to walk on the railing, stumbling, crying and laughing, and they are always very lively.

Next to the skating rink is a bumper car, and the crash is accompanied by exaggerated screams. Children nowadays may not know what bumper cars are. It delights in the violent collision before and after the car. People sit in the car and control the steering wheel. A tall wire is propped up at the rear of the car and goes straight to the ceiling. When it is opened, the ceiling will burst and flash.

There are often trolleys selling popsicles, drinks and snacks before roller skating and bumper cars. Snowmen are still common now, but it is hard to see bagged ice cream in the Arctic Ocean and in the New World. The brand of this beverage is Mohji, with boxed oranges and pink flavors. The best snack sold is a kind of shortbread with simple package, a pack of 10 pieces, both sweet and salty. Take a bite and sesame cake residue will fall all over the floor.

Now there are some amusement facilities in this area, such as electric trains and children's slides. , full charge, per person 10 yuan.

Further on, there is a large green space, which can be seen to be carefully built. There are ponds, wooden houses and animal sculptures in the Woods. It is definitely a good choice to take your baby running when the weather is fine. In fact, the children's center as a whole looks more like a big park, but according to a generation ago, it had important military uses in a special period, which is why there is a thick wall around the center, and there are machine gun holes on the wall that have long been hard to find.

Bypassing the green space, there is the China Children's Center Theater, which has a lot of plays and is updated almost every week, which is very suitable for children to watch. Here is a program at the end of last year, when Pinocchio, Snow White, The Wizard of Oz, The Ugly Duckling and many other dreamy multimedia children's dramas were staged.

It used to be a big auditorium, which seemed to be able to seat all the pupils in our school and show movies. There we saw the black cat sheriff, the Beijing chicken and the puppet show Jason Chung. I also like to rent this hall when the school has major activities. In a trance, I won an award on the stage.

I remember when I was a child, there was a physical model of a tank and two planes on both sides of the road in front of the building. One of the planes was disconnected from the middle and the internal structure could be seen. Many children like to climb on their wings and play. Almost everyone has a photo with the green plane when they were young.

There used to be a science and technology museum next to the theater, which was free. There are many exhibits, some of which can be operated by hand. The most impressive thing is to build an arch bridge with wood blocks, which is completed purely by the shape splicing of wood blocks and the interaction between wood blocks. Among the exhibits are dolls dressed in 56 national costumes, and there is a row of ha ha mirrors at the door, which are different in height, fat and thin, and win the most laughter.

On the right side of the theater is the back door of the old cow children's exploration museum. This is what I will introduce to you today. The ramp at the door has been well preserved, and the stone fences on both sides of the ramp can be used for people to rest. When I was a child, I liked to sit here and read books.

looking for city memories

The main entrance of the discovery hall still has to go forward. There are small children's amusement facilities on both sides of the road, including carousels and cups. You also need to buy tickets, 10 yuan once, and you can bring one big and one small.

Walking through this area, you can see the ticket window of the Old Cow Children's Exploration Museum. One child, 60 yuan, regardless of size, and one parent, 20 yuan, are from 9: 00 am to 12 and from 2: 00 pm to 5: 00 pm, except Monday.

It is a public welfare children's exploration museum jointly built by Children's Center, Lao Niu Foundation and China Public Welfare Research Institute of Beijing Normal University, which integrates the educational concept and operation mode of international advanced children's museums. Many baby mothers affectionately call it "a cheap version of the family box." The price in family box is well known, and it seems that you can only apply for a card, but you can't go once. Of course, it is understandable that people pay attention to early education.

Follow the road in the picture and you will find the main entrance. After entering, the area is really large, mainly divided into several areas, such as city square, busy needle, happy market, sunshine valley, science world, handicraft workshop and theme space.

There is a security check when you enter the door, and you can store your bags and clothes. The day we went happened to be the Lantern Festival, and the festive atmosphere was very strong. On the right hand side of the door, there is a DIY hand-made table, which can be used to make hats with various chicken images.

The child has been wandering around here for a long time, but unfortunately she is too young to use scissors freely. Finally, she drew a pink rooster, glued on a pair of moving eyes, and then happily went to play something else.

I really like exploring the color scheme of pink almond cakes in museums, don't I? Ha ha. Then I came to Sunshine Valley, and the most attractive sight was this high net climbing frame. The children clamored for it, but they were scared back in the middle of the climb.

On the left side of the climbing frame is a super-large ocean ball mechanical device. I don't know what its scientific name should be. Anyway, it is to let the children transport the ocean balls from all directions (all directions are almost deserted, and they have seen too much in the last three generations) through various pipes, pulleys and rotating shafts, and when they accumulate to a certain amount, they will swish them all out at once. That is the most exciting moment for the children.

The little students struggled to pick up the ball and load it for a long time before they finally got tired of it, and then played with water on the right side of the climbing frame. The height of playing in the water feels more suitable for children aged four or five, and dad still has to hold it.

Because it was the Lantern Festival that day, the Handicraft Workshop organized activities to take children to make lanterns, and anyone over 3 years old could participate, but ours was not up to standard.

Then let's talk about one of children's favorite areas-happy market. It is a simulation of a small supermarket buying vegetables, fruits, bread and meat. There are shopping baskets and trolleys, and children basically fill a whole basket and put it back in categories, with pictures in the corresponding positions.

Ok, that's the end of the introduction of the old cow children's exploration hall. Finally, put a map of the children's center. The children's library is on the northernmost floor of the Art Palace. If you want to go directly to the main entrance of the old cow, you can go directly through the small west gate.
