Summer is here and there is no shortage of fun places for family outings around Coloane and Taipa. Good weather days mean it’s time to head outdoors and get in touch with nature.

Here is our short list of things do and places to go for a fun family day in Macau.

Meet Giant and Red Pandas

Two new resident red pandas have also recently arrived at Seac Pai Van Park from the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding and are meeting the public in the Pavilion of Rare Animals.
