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.

Each game master was very dedicated in explaining the rules, and the game experience was really fun ☺️☺️☺️. I hope they can continue to host it in the future. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was that the peripheral "Risk Dice" were not in stock and only available for pre-order, so we have to wait 🥺.

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.

I was worried the amusement park would be closed due to the approaching typhoon, but when we came to Suzuka Circuit Park yesterday, the weather was great and there weren't many people, probably because it was a Thursday. Our whole family bought one-day passes, and we got to ride every attraction many times without long waits. It was truly worth the price! I ordered a 1+1 ticket package online through Klook for 980 NTD, and the second set was even more discounted, costing only 900 NTD after an 80 NTD reduction. That saved us a lot compared to buying tickets at the gate!

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.

Our guide, Alisia, was excellent, providing a soft-spoken and friendly tour. She guided us in both Chinese and English, with 14 years of experience and a calm demeanor. She even sang for us, creating a wonderful atmosphere. We visited on a Sunday by bus and learned that the Hinoki (cypress) trees are truly massive, and Alishan is an incredibly vast mountain. Since it's an all-day journey, we recommend bringing snacks. Of course, there are food stalls available along the way.

It was pretty good, and buying tickets on Klook was super convenient! They introduced a lot of things, and the photo spots were really cute. Although the venue felt a bit small and we finished exploring quickly, the theme was "transformation," so they also showcased early products. Personally, I think it would be great if they could create a photo op area for the early designs too, because they were just too adorable.

The venue is clean and bright, and the facilities are well-maintained. The ball pit and sandpit, in particular, kept the kids entertained! The layout is very parent-friendly, making it easy to supervise without getting too tired. The staff are kind and friendly, and they regularly clean and sanitize, which makes me feel very comfortable bringing young children here to burn off some energy. It's conveniently located and has indoor climate control, making it a top choice for childcare on rainy days or hot summer days. It offers great value, and I'll definitely bring my kids back again!

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.
