Leofoo Village Theme Park is one of Taiwan’s most iconic amusement destinations, located in Guanxi Township, Hsinchu County. It uniquely combines a large-scale theme park with a safari wildlife zoo, making it a standout attraction for families, thrill-seekers, and animal lovers alike.
Key Features Four Themed Areas: The park is divided into four main zones, each with its own immersive environment:
Wild West: Experience the American frontier with classic western architecture, live shows, and the park’s most famous ride, the Screaming Condor—an inverted shuttle roller coaster that launches riders at high speed. Other attractions include the Grand Canyon Rapids and themed dining options like steakhouses and burger joints.
African Safari: This section doubles as Taiwan’s largest open-range safari, home to around 70 species and nearly 1,000 animals, including rare white tigers, lions, zebras, and baboons. Visitors can tour the safari by train (Nairobi Express) or bus for close-up animal encounters.
South Pacific: A tropical-themed area with water rides, thrill rides, and vibrant scenery. The log flume and drop tower are major highlights.
Arabian Palace: Step into a magical, adventure-filled world inspired by Arabian tales, featuring rides like the Sultan’s Adventure and the Flying Horse monorail.
Safari Experience: Leofoo Village is renowned for its safari park, where guests can observe animals in spacious, naturalistic habitats—an experience unique among Taiwan’s amusement parks.
Family-Friendly Attractions: The park offers over 30 rides and attractions, catering to all ages—from adrenaline-pumping roller coasters to gentle rides and interactive animal experiences.
Dining and Amenities: Multiple themed restaurants and food stalls are available throughout the park, with options ranging from Western-style meals to local snacks. Facilities are family-friendly, with clean restrooms and stroller access.
Accessibility: Leofoo Village is an easy day trip from Taipei and offers enough activities to fill a full day, or even a weekend if you stay at the adjacent safari hotel or visit the waterpark.
Visitor Tips Arrive early to make the most of your visit, as the park closes around 5 PM and some food stalls may close earlier.
Bring water and snacks, as there are no free water stations, though bottled water is available for purchase.
Check the show schedule upon arrival to catch live performances and water fountain shows.
Dress appropriately for the season—winters can be chilly and windy.
Leofoo Village Theme Park remains a classic and must-visit destination for anyone traveling in Taiwan, offering a blend of amusement park thrills and up-close wildlife encounters that appeal...
Read moreThis was a fun amusement park about an hour drive from Taipei. Definitely worth the special price unlimited ride day pass for non-Taiwanese (550ntd on KKday). There is also a water park that is connected, but we didn't go.
We arrived at 9:30am right as the park opened and spent a full day there (until 4pm, park closes at 5 pm). It was sunny with a bit of cloud cover and about 33°c with lots of places to get out of the sun. So it was comfortable, but hot.
Most of the rides were up and running and there were virtually no lines for any rides must of the day.
The rides were fairly good with all the standard favorites. Tower drop, boat over a water fall, pirate ship, spinning tea cups, salt n pepper shaker, ring of fire, mini rollercoaster ect....
The one unique ride that stood out was the screaming Condor this is a mag lev powered top rail roller coaster that launches you at high speed about 7 stories in the air straight up and down on a cork srew track. Only issue was the delay between rides as the system needs time to cool down.
There are several other activities including VR, small video arcade, grabmachines, and typical carnival games (no shooting gallery).
The park is divided into the Arabian, south Pacific and wild west sections. There is an animal/safari section.
But the safari is pretty lacking. Basically just monkeys, some typical herbivores in small pens and the carnivore bus tour was hardly worth the time. Bus driver raced around and didn't do a good job of lining the bus up for people to take pictures. Don't waste your time.
Many of the restaurants and snack huts weren't open ( this was a Thursday not a holiday day). Still there was enough options to get by and we ate burgers and got some Turkish ice cream.
All in all very worthy discounted price of 550ntd for the day pass. I certainly would not be willing to pay full ticket price which is around 1200 to 1600 NTD depending on your age.
If you can get the discounted tickets go for it. As soon as the staff's on my white face it was a non-issue even though I was going in with some local Taiwanese we all ended up with the discounted price. We were never asked for any sort of ID but it's always a good policy to have at least a picture of your passport on your phone...
Read moreCute park with different themed areas. The Lost World, the dinosaur themed area is the most gorgeous 😍 with Volcano Adventure being the most iconic ride of Lefoo. You definitely get wet so bring raincoats. You can also pay to shoot 🔫 water at the riders at the end of their journey as a playful bystander who likes to give a delightful surprise. The fun drop tower called the Raging God is also located in this world.
I came at opening and was able to do most of the rides by 5pm. The park is open until 8pm at peak season but the rides in all the worlds except The Wild West close at 5pm. It's probably because The Wild West has the most thrilling rides for the older kids. As a person who was afraid of swings, The Old Oil Well was the most "fun" and the riders on it were screaming loudest compared to the other rides I went on that day. It was 90 seconds but felt like 5 minutes. The Condor is another super popular ride. The description says it goes up to 122km/hour but don't read those. They always make the rides sound more intense than they are. Everything is very kid friendly.
I don't recommend the shows. The crowds are large and the performances are very lackluster. I also wasn't a fan of the safari. It had a bunch of sad animals but it is very good for young children. I recommend you go there first because the wait gets so long later on and the cars move slowly. I prefer the monkey ride next to it where you can see monkeys at a higher vantage point. Probably my most favorite ride.
The food is good compared to most amusement parks and zoos. Some worlds have better food than others. It will probably be about 300 Yuan or more but the...
