Examples include the "Forest Engineer" climbing challenge and the "Energy Conversion Swing" lab.
Each session brings in an average of ¥300–500 per person.
4.Launch children's career experience zones.
Build simulated fire stations, mini-supermarkets and other role-play areas.
These spaces help kids learn practical skills.
For example, our "Little Principal" career day can bring in over ¥20,000 in revenue in a single day.
II. Innovative Marketing and Community Operations to Achieve Traffic Explosion
1.Launch membership cards such as the "Growth Passport".
Members earn stamps.They can redeem these stamps for priority access to popular indoor playground equipment or exclusive branded merchandise.This helps raise repeat purchase rates by 60%.

III. Unlocking Space and Equipment Value for Asset Appreciation

IV. Expanding Diversified Services and Product Lines
1. Offer Childcare and Parent-Child Programs: Meet parents' needs with holiday childcare services, plus parent-child activities like baking workshops and DIY craft classes, tapping into the parent-child economy.
2. Expand Retail and Value-Added Services: Set up dedicated spots inside the park to sell baby products, kids' toys, snacks, drinks and souvenirs. You can also add premium services like children's photography and fitness training programs.
3. Host Corporate Team-Building and IP Collaborations: Design corporate team-building packages such as the "Jungle CS Challenge", which generates $12,000–$21,000 per session. Partner with hit cartoon IPs using a ticket + merchandise + VR experience combo model, and increase total revenue by up to 300%.
