Hi! My family are going to Taipei in January, and can someone advise if kids of 9 and 10 years old still enjoy \"Babyboss\"? Thanks!

Baby boss - Both my girls, 7&9 enjoyed alot n they loved it! I recommended to my friend, who girl is 9 yr old she said no regret!

Some kids were even older than my girls when we were there. u may join the half day session 1st n if your kid's like it, u are allow to extend it to a full day session before 1pm.

All occupational u need to queue n there are limited seats! They will bring the kid to the room to dress up n teach them few sentences.
So half day might not enough

My kids stayed for a full day session n managed to take part 10 jobs.

No regret, it fun! kid will reward with wages, parent busy following them n taking pictures for them

Check with you. where is the ''babyboss'' located? any contacts?

for those interested in BabyBoss, they had ANZ creditcard promotion before (tourists will still get discounts), get update at their website.


1.But be prepared to spend 1000 to 1500, or even up to 1800 for your kids (it is a full day affair with your meals in between jobs).

2.The job listings with timing/durations is important. You have to first identify which jobs for your kids, then plan your itinerary, and queue up accordingly.
Popular jobs have limited seatings (pilot and stewards) require you to Q for up to 20min !

3. Read our blog and Youtube for more tips.

Hi experienced Taiwan travellers,


I’m planning to do a 7-night F&E self tour in Taipei & outskirts for a family of 7A2C (kids 6 & 7 yrs old) in June, is it very tough and economical? Or would it be more economical to take tour package? Though I have done quite a lot of self-tours to US, UK, Aust and Tokyo, it’s my first time to Taiwan.

I’m thinking of 3N/2N in Taipei and 4N/5N in outskirts - would like to incorporate the scenery, farm stay and fruit picking.

(1) Any suggested Taiwan outskirts or itinerary branching from Taipei which you all can share?

(2) How do you commute from Taipei to its outskirts eg: Jiayi, Hualian etc.

(3) Any recommended farm stay, min2 su4 and hotel?

(4) Weather in Taiwan in June?

Thanks…!!!

You can check out my Taiwan self-drive trip on 1place1dream.blogspot.com

You can find all the variety and perhaps reference to consider what do you really want to have.

I think you have too little time to cover both east (hualien) and west (jiayi). Or unless you check if the east-west road at Taroko is open, it was closed last month due to landslide.

If you do not drive, you can always take the train. But for the scenic view, you should have a car to explore on location.

Hualien - besides sightseeing, anything interesting to buy ?


did anyone light up the burning balloon, write a message and let it float high, high up into the sky ?

hahaha! reminds me of that scene in Love drama "Ai" where that pretty, big eyed girl WaWa wrote a message to heaven plead her mom help her look for her dad - none other than Wu Jin Sheng.

Taipei - any big bookshop around, something like big size Popular bookstore type ?

[phtthp]

is Jiayi scenic, like Hualien ?

I have 2 kids aged 6&7.

Is 小人国 more suitable or baby boss more suitable for them?
I don’t think I will have time to visit 2 places.

How do u go to 小人国 fm Taipei?

Thanks!

hi, 小人国 (WOC) is about 1 hour by car from Taipei. HSR (bullet train) will be cheaper, but you need to transfer to coach.

I went to both, refer link below.. Maybe my blog experience will help?

(contains link to BabyBoss and 小人国 pricing and locations)

You can find 小人国 themparks in a few other countries (eg Batam, Shenzhen). But it will be very difficult to find another Baby-Boss concept elsewhere. Beside, when your kids grow older, BabyBoss might not appeal to them.

My kids definitely prefer BB as they can role-play astronaut, firefighter, police and thief etc. The only thing is BabyBoss will be more expensive.

I think 6&7 years old are perfect for baby boss. My kids, girl 9, boy 10 seems a little outgrown for this, especially my boy, he commented that 有点无聊， I was like :stupid: :moneyflies:
