Taipei Zoo 🐼🐨🐧🐻 hands down the ✨BEST✨ deal you can find in Taiwan for a kids friendly activity. It’s 60NT (~$2 entry for adults, free for kids 6 & under, & for kids over 65 😇). One of our fave books about Taiwan is “Kai, the Dancing Butterfly” @crystal.z.lee which talks about 400 species of butterflies that migrate around the island (and you can see 125 species at the zoo!) and mentions all the animals native to Taiwan. So while the Pandas are usually the highlight (especially now that the pandas that were at the SD Zoo were returned to their home), this trip I was really into seeing the native animals — esp esp the Formosa Black Bear 🥰, Asian Black Bear, Butterflies & Pangolin (did you spot them all?). (+ we saw the Sika deer in @bambiland.yilan). 💡Tips for your trip: • Park and take the Maokong Gondola up to the top and start at the Aviary. (It makes the rest of your visit a downhill walk instead of uphill). • The Panda sanctuary has A/C 🙌🏼 so plan your visit(s) there accordingly • there’s a McDonald’s by the entrance but lines are always long, check out the food stands by the Hippos or Penguins. (Find the MOS Burger and taiwan-eats stand). #sentimental #corememories Fun things to do with kids in Taiwan, Taiwan day trips, kid friendly Taiwan, zoo in Taiwan, best zoo is the taipei zoo, must do activities in Taiwan, Taiwan kid activities, traveling with kids to Taiwan, what to do with toddlers in Taiwan, taipei zoo, #dayinthelife #vlog #minivlog #taipeitravel #taiwantravel #taiwanzoo #taipei #ootd #travelvlog

Visited 12 September 2023 Sunny Autumn 🍁 Tuesday afternoon. The following sharing are based on our unbiased personal opinion and experience Took my boy to the Taipei Zoo today spending some father and son bonding time together ❤️. We took the wenhu line from Nanjing Fuxing station to Taipei Zoo Station, half way through the journey the boy fell asleep 💤. Missing all the beautiful scenery and people watching during the ride. But it's alright at least it's easier for me to manage less the crankiness 😆 We arrived the zoo in a swift without much effort and stroller friendly for the whole trip. I would say other than Japan, Taiwan 🇹🇼 is the next child friendly vacation destinations to be in. Brought the entry ticket 🎟️ for 1 adult @ TW 60 and child enter for free. Lucky boy! The staff was friendly and helpful render assistant to all the park visitors. I took a short break at the visitors center under the shade while waiting for my boy to enjoy his slumber. After 30min still no sign of him coming out from slumber I decided to push him around in his sleep hoping the sun 🌞 shine can wake him up. It was really a huge zoo and we had a wonderful time discovering and animals spotting. The only down 👎 side is only the unbearable heat during this trip. Otherwise it's almost a 5 ⭐ Wonderful experience and I hope to come back with my family again in a much cooler season. ☃️

The Panda House at Taipei Zoo is a charming highlight that offers a rare opportunity to observe these beloved creatures up close. The zoo’s commitment to conservation is evident in the spacious and well-maintained enclosure that provides a comfortable habitat for the pandas. Visitors are often captivated by the pandas’ playful antics and serene presence. The Panda House is designed to mimic the animals’ natural environment, allowing them to exhibit natural behaviors. It’s a joy to watch them munch on bamboo, tumble around, or simply lounge about. While the Panda House can get crowded, especially during peak hours, the experience is worth the wait. The staff at Taipei Zoo are knowledgeable and often available to answer questions, enhancing the educational aspect of the visit. For the best experience, it’s recommended to arrive early to avoid the crowds and to see the pandas when they’re most active. The Panda House is not just an exhibit; it’s a window into the world of one of the most adored species on the planet, making it a must-see for anyone visiting Taipei Zoo Take some time to view the pandas at leasure from the Panda Cafe.

In 2008, the zoo received two pandas from the People's Republic of China (PRC), named Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan (meaning "reunion"), as a gesture of unity. The gift of the endangered pandas had been rejected by President Chen Shui-bian in 2005 who viewed it as a propaganda tool against Taiwan's independence, but the next president, Ma Ying-jeou, of the Kuomintang, had forged stronger economic and diplomatic relations with the PRC under his presidency, and was willing to accept them. The offering of pandas as a gift from the PRC is often known as "panda diplomacy", and the zoo expected to draw around 30,000 visitors a day as a result of their arrival. The move was criticized by supporters of Taiwan's independence and the opposition Democratic Progressive Party, who said that "Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan means a union, which perfectly matches Beijing's goal of bringing Taiwan into its fold." The offspring of Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, Yuan Zai, was born on July 6, 2013. She is the first panda cub to be born in Taiwan. Yuan Zai's public debut was on January 6, 2014. Wikipedia

One of the Best Zoos I've Ever Been To I've been to quite a lot of zoos over the years, but Taipei Zoo honestly stands out as one of the best I’ve ever visited. It’s super easy to get to, incredibly affordable, and surprisingly huge. You could easily spend an entire day there just walking around and exploring—it’s that big! We went in mid-March, and the weather was perfect—cool, breezy, and ideal for walking outdoors. What impressed me the most was how clean and well-maintained everything is. The place is spotless. It’s also an open-concept zoo, so the animals have these beautifully designed enclosures that feel really natural. You can tell the animals are well taken care of—they look healthy and, dare I say, happy. We went on a weekday, so it wasn’t too crowded, which made the experience even better. It’s such a peaceful, enjoyable spot, especially for families with young kids. My son loved it. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Taipei. Totally worth the time.

I had the most delightful experience visiting the Taipei Zoo Giant Panda House. The pandas are simply adorable, and it's evident that they are well taken care of. The staff at the zoo truly prioritize the pandas' health and happiness, creating a wonderful environment for these magnificent creatures. It was heartwarming to see how much effort goes into ensuring their well-being. Good thing we arrived while they were eating. We ate at their cafe at the second floor, which was kind of overpriced. When we checked the pandas again, it was already nap time. A visit to the Taipei Zoo Giant Panda House is an absolute treat for nature lovers and panda enthusiasts alike!
