Special events are also planned at Abilia experience center for Children's Day. The center will organize five different performances, including poetry readings, and stage performances. A charity sale will be held and money raised will be used to buy Expo tickets for poor children.

For more educational experiences, at the nearby China State Shipbuilding Corporate (CSSC) Pavilion, Hu Yuexiang, a captain with the China Shipping (Group) Company, tells stories of his sea adventures and teaches children about sailing.

A parade of cartoon mascots of each pavilion is held three times a day on the Puxi side of the Expo Garden, from 10:30am to 11:15am; 2:30 pm to 3:15 pm; and 6:30pm to 7:15pm. Participants include Coca-Cola, Aurora, CSSC and some national pavilions, including Norway.

The three mascots from the State Grid Pavilion, Ampere, Volt and Ohm will make their first public appearances playing games with kids. Gifts will also be given out. Kids with two accompanied adults are allowed to enter the pavilion through a special entry during certain periods of the day.
