[Family Travel]Xinyi Parent-Child Museum: A Stage for Immersive Role-Playing

Written by ＼Jenny Lee

The standout feature of Xinyi Parent-Child Museum is its inspiration drawn from its location in Sisisan South Village. In addition to the 0–2 year-old infant and toddler area common to all parent-child museums, the 0–6 year-old section is divided into various themed zones, allowing children to experience different roles and connect with the local military dependents’ village heritage. Each scenario play table also integrates hands-on and cultural creative elements, showcasing what makes Xinyi Parent-Child Museum unique and appealing to kids.

The baby zone is designed with crawling in mind. Its biggest difference from other parent-child museum areas is the central exploration crawling dome, where infants can practice crawling on slopes to develop their skills and improve limb flexibility. There’s also a wooden ball circular track that’s a big hit with babies—kids are always mesmerized watching the wooden balls roll around, their full attention on the moving spheres.

This section is the highlight of Xinyi Parent-Child Museum, featuring flexible scenario changes and regularly updated themes. With accessories tailored to each theme, kids can see a variety of everyday tools, while the museum creatively uses materials like felt and clay to make items—such as poached eggs, dumpling wrappers, and buns in a Chinese restaurant, or meatballs at a food stall that can be skewered with chopsticks. Children can role-play as chefs, vendors, or homemakers, with imaginative play unlike anything found in other parent-child museums.
The philosophy of Xinyi Parent-Child Museum is: human-centered service, friendly professionalism, and supporting children’s growth together. Though the space isn’t large, it’s small but beautiful with distinctive features. Kids love it so much they don’t want to leave, and they get to enjoy little joys of daily life. With regularly updated layouts and themes, it’s a parent-child destination well worth visiting again and again.
