Saker att göra i Kaohsiung

Alicia was a sweet, knowledge, and skilled tour guide! The tour was ran smoothly and had lots of chances to take photos, buy food + souvenirs, and take in the beautiful sights. As someone studying abroad in Taichung for a month with only weekends available, this was a great and affordable (compared to US prices) way to experience Alishan.

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.

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.

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.

Det är lätt att ta sig dit, med många bussar som hämtar upp från olika tunnelbanestationer och områden. Jag åkte från Zuoying, och längs vägen passerade vi även några hotell nära E-DA. För att komma in i E-DA World måste man passera genom outleten och åka upp en våning. Det finns skyltar i köpcentret, så du behöver inte oroa dig för att gå vilse. Med QR-koden kan du byta ut din biljett vid biljettkontoret och sedan gå in, vilket är väldigt bekvämt. Det finns många olika typer av attraktioner där, inklusive spännande berg- och dalbanor, 360-graders åkattraktioner, och även en byggnad dedikerad till barnattraktioner, samt klomaskiner och gashapon. Det finns både utomhus- och inomhusattraktioner, och på helgerna finns det parader och föreställningar som är ganska underhållande. Det finns inte så många restauranger, men maten är okej. Det bästa är att det inte är för mycket folk, så man behöver inte köa så mycket för att åka, vilket är väldigt roligt.

Att kliva in i Huashan Creative Park's uppslukande utställning om forntida civilisationer är som att av misstag ha hamnat i en spricka som tiden har förseglat. Ljus och skuggor flödar över väggarna, och dova ljud verkar komma från under jorden, vilket gör det svårt att avgöra om det är historiens ekon eller ens eget hjärtslag. Civilisationernas symboler, ritualer och mystiska scener kommer och går, och även om inget sägs rakt ut, får det en att undra: har de verkligen försvunnit, eller betraktar de oss på ett annat sätt? När jag nådde utgången kände jag fortfarande att något hade stannat kvar bakom mig, utan svar, bara en eftersmak av att ha blivit försiktigt berörd av gamla minnen.

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.

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.
