Things to do in National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Stella! She was very friendly, kind, and accommodating throughout the whole tour. She explained everything clearly and shared interesting information about the places we visited. Stella was also very patient and helpful, especially when we needed assistance or wanted to take photos. Her warm personality made the tour more enjoyable and comfortable. Thank you so much, Stella, for making our Kaohsiung trip more memorable! We truly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend this tour, especially with a wonderful guide like Stella. ❤️🇹🇼

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!

The tour is nice and the guide was giving a lot of information. However, this one should be highlighted that it is in Chinese ONLY. I can understand some part of the introduction but the experience would have been nicer if I know that this is in Chinese only, no English. I would remember to check all the earlier review before booking a tour now.

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.

It was my first time on the boat, and the captain was very attentive and sang well, but unfortunately, it rained that day! A bit of a shame! The experience was great; it was my first time cruising the Love River! Enjoying the scenery while listening to songs! The coach was very nice, gentle, and thoughtful, even lending me an umbrella when it rained!

If you have the money, I highly recommend this experience. If you have two people, it’s much cheaper as well (it was just me though). I’ve done this in Taipei and at EuropaPark theme park in Germany so it was cool to see the history of this this experience originated. Staff are friendly and speak English. Recommend using Klook and must book at least one day in advance (earlier spots are less busy). It’s a little out there location wise but I eventually found it.

I'd like to clarify the schedule for other travelers, as the official website and brochure aren't very detailed. The 10:40 AM departure arrives at Hongmaogang at 11:20 AM. If you plan to have lunch at the revolving restaurant, you'll need to call ahead for a reservation. You can book for 11:30 AM, which also helps you avoid the hot sun. For the return trip, you need to gather at the Hongmaogang waiting room by 1:40 PM, and the return departure time is 1:50 PM. Most importantly, you will arrive back at the original departure point at 2:30 PM after a 40-minute boat ride (not 1:50 PM).

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.

The tour was great and it had let us visit the top Kaohsiung City attractions. It’s just that the very warm weather is the challengegoing from one place to another. It was very humid in the city which made the tour kinda’ difficult for us tourists because it somehow spolied our excitement. Everyone is complaining on the hot weather but at the same time, we enjoyed taking pictires despite the hot weather. The warm weather was extreme especially during noontime till 4-5pm in the afternoon. There’s not much to see in the Arts Museum. The one that delighted us is the nearby train station. The pier has a lot of people too despite the extreme hot weather, which was our last stop of the day. The Tiger Dragon pagoda was one of the best, same with the Moon Landscape Park and the Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum too! This tour is highly recommended especially for those who are first-time visitors in Kaohsiung.
