Newly Opened Pop Land Theme Park is Great for the Cute-at-Heart

If you have either young kids below 10 years of age or pre-teens who are into the cute figurines that Pop Mart is known for, then Pop Land’s newly opened theme park in Chaoyang Park is a must-visit for you. The 40,000-square-meter theme park opened shortly before Golden Week and offers a theme park-lite experience right in the heart of the city. Watch the video below to check it out!

First things first, though directions on map apps may tell you to enter Chaoyang Park through its main South Gate to get to Pop Land, we discovered that there is a smaller but dedicated entrance near the west gate of Chaoyang Park, right by the subway. There is also parking available at this entrance and it’s closer to Solana Mall – yay!

Upon entering the theme park, it’s clear that Pop Land is largely designed to serve as a colorful backdrop for fans of Pop Mart’s popular characters (such as Molly, Dimoo and the Monsters) to snap great pictures. But luckily, there are many fun activities suitable for young children. Be sure to pick up a passport at the first cart once you enter; you can collect stamps at various check points throughout the park by finding the matching graphic on the passport page. There isn’t a prize for completion but it’s a fun activity to keep kids moving through the park when they get stuck in one spot and don’t want to leave.

The passport also contains a nifty map to help you identify the different zones of the park. There’s the Mysterious Fishing Village, Tribe of Warriors, The Monsters’ Treehouse, a mini maze, and last but not least Molly’s Castle. The whole park will take you at least two hours to cover, not including time to eat and indulge in play, so you can easily spend half a day there.
