Learning experience
To make the most of a tour in Expo Garden for kids, parents need to be fully prepared to answer their questions and explain about world cultures. About 63 per cent of the 20 million visitors to Expo 2005 Aichi were children under 13. Expo 2010 Shanghai is a great place where children can learn about the world and advanced technologies in several days.
