Ocean Park has animal shows like Seaworld (GoldCoast) and rides that are suitable for teenages.

If you want something like Ocean Park, then you can visit Yeliou Ocean World.

I have never been to Window on China but based on its web, you can see that one section has miniture building and the other section mini rides (Dordaemon theme).

Hi caroline3sg,


Thanks for your reply. I have been to Ocean park, but my kids prefer Disneyland. Will find out more on Taiwan, just thinking if there is any entertainment for kids.

Taiwan has many theme parks, I would say the most no. of theme parks as compared to any Asia country. You can take your time to nagivate all the types of themeparks if you want to visit Taiwan.


If your kids like water, then you can go for their Farmosa Fun Coast.

I also like Disneyland. You may like to consider Seoul's Lotte World because it is similar to Disneyland.

Am planning to go to Taipei this Dec hols with hubby and daughter (11). Leofoo Resort Guanshi seems interesting. It is touted as Asia’s only African safari resort. Could not find any reviews on the place though… has anyone been there and is it worth the $$? Any other places worth visiting in Taiwan?


Cheers

Wonder what time does the night mkt start operating? Does the stalls start selling from 3pm onwards just like our pasar malam here or do we need to be there only after 6pm… Can anyone advise?

Hi,

I was planning to stay @ LeoFoo Resort @ Guanshi for 1 nite during our coming trip in Nov, but gave up the idea instead. Cos' the price is too EX! Abu NT19,000 for 1 nite But looks interesting tho'. Not much reviews cos' they are quite new. Check out this blog for the breakfast there http://blog.yam.com/yado/article/27302107. The resort is on Facebook too. Try to do a search using their chinese name. You can find lots of reviews on it.

Hi starlight1968sg,

We did this last year.

Took a speed train from Taipei to Hualien. Arrange for pickup in Hualien by a nice taxi driver to bring us to Taroko Gorge. We did a one day tour then back to Taipei the same day.

Absolutely doable even with our then 3 and 5 yo. Very nice scenery!!

BTW, got all my tips from Tripadvisor.

We didn't do any theme parks...

Hi Googlymama, my family had been to Taipei twice (2007 & 2009), free n easy trips. You may PM me your email address, I can share my Facebook albums with you. You will be able to read the photos captions & have a better ideas of the places of interests worth visiting. Overall, my daughters of 8 & 10 love Taipei City. We visited Leofoo Village too.

Going Taipei next Saturday. Very excited to stay in the apartment called Taipei York. Anyone heard of it?


P.S If it was mentioned in previous pages, would appreciate it if you could give me the link. I just jumped straight to the last page of the post.
