Ever taken your pet into a theater? Now you can!

Once you’re done with the show, the fun spills outside with:

• Acrobatics and magic acts
• A relaxing pet-friendly music concert
• Outdoor reading sessions
• Forest yoga under the trees

And That’s Not All:

• Dog vs Human acrobatics battles

• Pet grooming competitions
• Dog races
• Tips from Bilibili pet influencers
• Pet health check-ups and adoption booths

After Dark:

Snuggle up with your furry friend on the huge lawn for an outdoor movie night under the stars.
