Things to do in Kaohsiung

Today, I participated in the Kaohsiung Hunter escape room game, and the entire experience was incredibly fun. The puzzle design was very clever and really tested our observation skills and teamwork. Solving the puzzles along the way was very rewarding, the atmosphere was great, and I had a fantastic time!

Highly recommend this museum for just about anyone. Great price for adults and free for seniors (65+) and elementary school kids. There are six floors of interactive exhibits for all ages AND virtually all of them are also in English. The IMAX film (~17 minutes) was also great! I went on a Tuesday with half of the elementary schools in the city so just a heads up as there were kids everywhere (loud and running around). Eat before or after as not many options and not good. Could easily spend all day there. Water refills stations and bathrooms throughout and exhibits were well done.

The transportation is convenient, with many buses picking up and dropping off from different MRT stations and areas. I went from Zuoying, and it also passed by several E-Da affiliated hotels along the way. To enter E-Da World, you need to go through the outlet and up the floors. There are signs in the mall, so don't worry about getting lost. You can exchange your tickets at the ticket office with the QR Code, which is very convenient. There are many different kinds of amusement facilities inside, including thrilling roller coasters and 360-degree rotating facilities. There is also a building dedicated to amusement facilities for children, as well as claw machines and gashapon machines. There are both outdoor and indoor facilities. There are also parades on the weekends, and the performances are quite fun. There are not many restaurants, but the food is acceptable. The main thing is that there are not too many people, so you can play without much queuing, which is great.

Fun for the whole family! I recommend that kids be over 90cm to fully enjoy it 😆. Adults can accompany children on most of the rides. A day pass is great for a half-day trip; it's worth it if you plan to do more than 4 attractions. However, most of them require waiting in line for 20 minutes or more, which is a bit of a hassle... Price: Buy-one-get-one deals are super worth it; I hope they offer them often. Convenience of booking with Klook: Super convenient 👍 Facilities: Fun for both adults and kids.

Our tour guide (Alicia) was a sweet, knowledgeable, and skilled tour guide! The tour was smooth and there were lots of chances to take photos, buy food + souvenirs, and take in the beautiful sights. The bonus would be taking the scenic train ride in Alishan and taking in the views while the train does the work!

Visiting the Nei-men Yeson Animal School was a truly unique experience. What sets this place apart is that, with the exception of the sloths, you can have zero-distance contact with all the animals with no time limits. There are very few zoos in the world that allow such a high level of interaction. ​The staff members are incredibly friendly and polite. They don't just facilitate the interaction but also provide fascinating educational insights about each species, which made the visit much more meaningful. ​The only downside is its remote location. If you choose public transport, the journey takes nearly two hours. I highly recommend taking an Uber or driving if your budget allows, as it will save you a lot of time and energy.

Regardless of whether the final message is kept or deleted, it's a memory that exists. Thank you, Whimsical Hotel, for giving me the gift of rediscovering the past.Experience: This experience was truly wonderful, and the actors performed excellently.Service: I give it a big five stars ❤️

Stepping into the immersive ancient civilization experience exhibition at Huashan 1914 Creative Park is like accidentally stepping into a crack sealed by time. Light and shadow flow on the walls, and a low voice seems to come from the ground, making it hard to tell whether it's the echo of history or your own heartbeat. The symbols, rituals, and mysterious scenes of those civilizations are sometimes near, sometimes far, never explicitly stated, yet constantly prompting the question: Have they truly disappeared, or are they watching us in another way? When I reached the exit, I still felt that something remained behind, with no answers, only a lingering feeling of being gently touched by ancient memories.

I have to give it 5-stars based on value for your money. Seniors (65+) and primary school kids are free, and adults are less than $2! I paid extra for the little zoo tram as it was crazy hot, hundreds of school kids, and the monkeys are no joke! stole a water bottle right out of a boy’s hand in a big school group (ran off with it)! The best part was the water area, like a splash pad. Although older and rundown, it did the job of cooling us off. There’s 3 areas, with rain water coming from above, and two shallow areas maybe 1-4 inches of water. Animals weren’t too active due to heat/sun. Don’t recommend eating here as not many options, nor good quality.
