| Post subject: Proposed Family Activity Club |
I'd like to get some indication of interest in the set-up of a family activity club in Shanghai. Is there a need, would it be welcome?
The idea would be to have regular arranged activies for families I.E. with kids (both local and ex-pat). Locations and activities chosen with kids in mind and a chance to meet others and make friends... for our kids too.
Please let me know - by a short posting here - if this would be a welcom addition to your lives in Shnaghai.
NOTE: This club would be strictly non-profit, run just for the fun of it. |

Great Idea, strongly support it!
I have an international family with son born in the U.S and daughter born in Singapore. My wife and I are Chinese and we are going back to work in Shanghai in Aug after staying overseas for quite some years. My son is 4 and daughter is 2.
Any idea for the venue of gathering? Maybe we can rotate to be host? or shall we do it outside somewhere?
my contact information is changning@hotmail.com
Regards
Ning |

Also interested. Did a group ever get together as a result of this thread?
We are living in Puxi with a 4 year old. Some friends of a similar age would be great for him. |

Does anyone have a suggestion for locations for this? I'm thinking we find a place where the kids can play and the adults can relax, chat, have a coffee, food, etc. Also thinking that this could be a regular weekend thing. Ideas? |

There's a nice option for you at the Chang Feng Park. Here you can have a nice walk, play some sports, but also take your children to see the aquarium and also have a Whale stadium.
Visited this park myself with a friends family, who have a young son. He especially liked the Australian fur seals and performing whales. 
Plus we weren't drained of energy at the end of the day. Hope you can have a look and hope your organisations of events goes well,
Have a nice day |

Nice promo! Aquaria 21 at Cheng Feng Park (out past Zhong Shan Park) if you didn't get it... is a great place to take your kids. I've taken mine out there and we had a great time! Also, if your kids are young you could probably take them once every month or so and they would never get bored. A definite MUST for families in Shanghai!
What I am looking for is something that can be done on a weekly basis. A standing brunch reservation somewhere where kids can play safely.
Keep an eye out and please post any suggestions. |

we went to the gubei renaissance hotel (formerly yangtze jiang hotel), next to the sheraton hotel, a few weeks ago. they have a champagne brunch for i think 198rmb (cheap by hotel standards), and have organized a special room on the second floor just for the kids. lots of games and a couple of minders. fairly relaxed atmosphere.
also went to the westin brunch a few months ago - although it was definitely better, the price reflected it - about 388rmb.... nothing but the best foods! (caviar, whatever). they had a kids area at one end of the restaurant, and the kids had their own buffet set up! and plenty of ayis to watch them..... |

Yea, I go to the Westin Buffet quite often, but a bit on the pricy and indulgent side for a regular thing. Besides my kid is bouncing off the walls after all the chocolates in the kids area.
I haven't tried the YangZi Jiang. |

heh heh - kids bouncing off the walls and grown-ups buzzed from all the bubbly - hmm somehow it doesn't paint a very appropriate picture of a nice wholesome family day out! |

We are also interested. We have a 13 month year old and would like to meet other young families.
Please contact me if anything gets organized.
I think that if people who were really interested left their phone numbers, then something could be arranged within a shorter timeframe.
I would be willing to do this organizing but I would rather call people than email them.
Best,
Chris Wacker
