Disney, science, parks, rainy-day saves
The Home88 angle
Beyond Disneyland: the aquariums, science museums, climbing gyms and parks that fill a Saturday, sorted by age band and weather — with notes on stroller access and English availability.

Indoor days out when the forecast turns
Shanghai Disney Resort publishes its own site — tickets there or on Trip.com English. Weekdays beat weekends; Science and Technology Museum official English: 2000 Century Avenue, Metro Line 2. Ocean Aquarium official contact: 1388 Lujiazui Ring Road. Strollers work in new halls and fail in old lane-house museums. None of this moves a German or French campus. Pudong families go more often. Qingpu treats it as an expedition.
Housing Century Park and Lujiazui leases walk to science or fish. Huacao does neither without a plan.
Official resort site. Not a reason to drop DSS or LFS.
Housing Pudong south goes often. Qingpu is a long Saturday.
Official traffic page: 2000 Century Avenue — Line 2
Official English hours and traffic. Closed Mondays except national holidays — confirm the opening page. Ticket hotline on that site. Sister museums via their own links.
Housing Line 2 from Century Park. A planned day from Huacao.
Official contact: 1388 Lujiazui Ring Road — Line 2 / 14 Lujiazui
Rainy half-day and visiting parents. English leaflet that day. Not The Nest, not Peninsula dining. Parking fees on their page.
Housing Lujiazui / Qiantan walk or a short taxi. Jinqiao is a car. Qingpu is an expedition.

China’s national schedule and a home-country record.
International schools ask for a verifiable record at intake. China runs a national immunisation schedule (CDC 2026 edition). Foreign children also bring a home-country programme. The two booklets often fail to line up in week one. Community health centres book the Chinese programme; private international hospitals give imported shots on a self-pay or insurance path. Translate the home record into Chinese and English before term. Ask the school for a written list, then book. Rabies and trauma are an ER path, not the nurse’s desk. A Suishenban electronic record is common for residents; whether a foreign passport pulls one is a window question that day.
Housing The clinic follows the lease. The school bus still comes first.
Official programme and the 2026 PDF. Open the file; we do not paste the table. Ages and co-administration change when they reprint.
Housing A school-intake fact. Never a corridor veto.
Hours, doors and rooms move. Confirm on the official page the morning you go. Rankings are a date, not a personality.
