#RitualisticLiving #ChildrensDay #OvernightAtNMMBA Our long weekend kicked off with a trip to Pingtung, which felt incredibly far away, but we were in for a super fun first-time experience: sleeping with the fish! Our group of 10 was incredibly lucky🍀 to unlock the #TaiwanWaters exhibit's super VIP spot, directly facing the marine life in the #OceanicPool 🥰. Someone in our group actually booked this back in August last year! The museum assigns sleeping spots based on booking order, so at first, I thought we might not get a good one 🙂‍↔️. But thankfully, every single one of us is super lucky! 🤩 YES!! 🫰🏻 Transportation: From Zuoying HSR Station, take Kenting Express Bus 9189 (strongly recommend buying your Taiwan Tourist Shuttle tickets in advance). Alternatively, you can carpool, but it's more expensive during long weekends, costing around 500 NTD per person, with some even quoting up to 800 NTD. I remember carpooling to Xiaoliuqiu cost 200 NTD per person last time, but that wasn't a long weekend, so everyone should consider their options.
expérience: Fantastic experience at the aquarium. The underwater excursion was perfect. The complete tour of the museum and aquarium with our knowledgeable English-speaking guide was great. Thank you to Hamasen for his tour and explanations. I hope to return because it was wonderful. prix: The price is absolutely worth it because meals, transportation, and our support throughout are included.
#A Sense of Ritual in Life #Children's Day #Overnight Stay at the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium Our long weekend began with a trip to Pingtung, which felt incredibly far away, but we were in for a truly exciting first-time experience: sleeping with the fish! Our group of 10 was incredibly lucky 🍀 to unlock the super VIP area of the #TaiwanWaters exhibit, directly facing the marine life in the #OceanicExhibit 🥰. Someone in our group had actually booked this back in August of last year! The museum assigns sleeping spots based on booking order, so at first, I thought we might not get a good spot 🙂‍↔️. But thankfully, every one of us turned out to be super lucky! 🤩 YES!! 🫰🏻 Transportation: From Zuoying HSR Station, take Kenting Express Bus 9189 (strongly recommend purchasing tickets in advance via Klook or Taiwan Tourist Shuttle). If you buy a later departure but need to leave earlier, it's possible to get a spot on an earlier bus if you arrive early enough.
Highly recommended experience, this is my second time participating. The water trekking tour allows you to pick radishes, pickle them, and catch shellfish, which is a lot of fun. Last time, I spent my honeymoon sleeping in the underwater tunnel, and this time I brought my children to stay in the beluga whale area. Interacting with the beluga whales was so cute! The whole activity is packed and fulfilling, the tour guides are very professional, it's really fun and tiring.
This time's overnight stay at the aquarium was filled with joy, luck, and a bit of worry. Joy because it was as peaceful as I had hoped (from after closing until the end of the program), with a wide variety of marine life, and friendly, helpful staff. Luck because I originally wanted to sleep in the underwater tunnel, hoping to wake up to a beautiful view. However, due to insufficient numbers on 9/21, the trip was moved forward a day, and my selection priority (first-come, first-served) shifted back. I ended up sleeping in the kelp forest area, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I later learned that the mattresses in the underwater tunnel are thinner, while the kelp forest area is colder, so the mattresses and bedding are thicker, making for a more comfortable sleep. Because I woke up early, I was able to wander around the aquarium taking pictures after freshening up around 6 a.m., and I even captured a very beautiful rainbow. After breakfast, I explored and photographed various exhibition areas in the aquarium all by myself. The underwater tunnel without any crowds was spectacular! So, I recommend that anyone planning to visit should choose to sleep in the kelp forest area. The worry comes from the fact that I'm on the way back to Kaohsiung and I just found out that a typhoon is approaching... 😓
Staying overnight at the National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium is a highly recommended experience. Besides having marine animals accompany your stay, the guides are also very humorous and professional. This time, we stayed in the Arctic Zone, which was really cold. If we come again next time, we will definitely bring enough warm clothes. To accommodate the penguins' schedule, the lights didn't turn on until around 6:30 in the morning. When the lights came on, we immediately saw the penguins sprinting and swimming in the water in groups of two or three, which was a real eye-opener. It was great to observe them up close.
Participating in the overnight stay at the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium in Pingtung this time, the overall itinerary was rich and fulfilling. It not only allowed the children to have fun, but adults also gained a lot of knowledge about marine ecology. It was a fantastic family experience. Sleeping overnight at the aquarium felt very special, and the children were left with deep, lasting memories. If given the opportunity next time, we would love to try the special experiences in other aquatic zones!
🎉I loved my stay.👍 ⭕Facilities: "Lockers" Each group (one family per group) is assigned a locker (uses a $10 coin for locking, reusable, coin is returned upon opening). ⭕Facilities: "Vending Machines" There are instant noodle vending machines, beverage vending machines, and of course, a currency exchange machine outside the restrooms. ⭕Facilities: "Washroom Area" I think the space is quite large, and there are enough stalls. (The total number of people in the group this time was about 50). ⭕Price: Three meals included per night, great value for the price. ⭕Service: All the service staff I came into contact with that day showed excellent service attitude and enthusiasm. You can feel that the aquarium staff likes and loves their work. This made me feel an inexplicable sense of warmth.

As the sun slowly sets, head to Pingtung for an overnight stay at the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium! Enjoy the fun that differs from the daytime, discover the secrets of the ocean at night, and sleep right next to the fish tanks as if you were living on the ocean floor. Observe the three exhibition halls—the Waters of Taiwan, the Coral Kingdom, and the Waters of the World—and get to know the nightlife of marine creatures. You can look up at the reflections of the corals, look forward to being awakened by the schools of fish and healing scenery right before your eyes, have a sleepy beluga whale gracefully by your side, and sleep alongside penguins from the Southern Hemisphere and puffins from the Northern Hemisphere across the equator. During the day, you can visit the wild intertidal zone to observe how life forms facing harsh survival spaces adapt, and you can also walk to the feeding area above the back-of-house fish tanks to catch a glimpse of the care environment for marine animals. Through this comprehensive and interconnected experience, you will gain a deep understanding of the loving stories behind every detail of the Aquarium.
