“Taipei Zoo”

Reviewed 22 May 2012 NEW

Great educational place to check out the exotic creatures, lovely natural green surroundings, and entrance fee is only NT$60 (about AU$2). Catch the shuttle (looks like a kiddies train) for NT$5 (20c) per ride to save your legs walking uphill to the bird/penquin section. Walking downhill is easier. More

“A great day out for kids and family”

Reviewed 21 May 2012 NEW

We went there last week and i think it's value for money! Only NT$50, you can see so many species of animals closely and also have a great walk up the hill. If you're too tired, you can take the 'little train' cost NT$5 for a ride on the way back to main entrance, it really saves our lifes coz... More

Reviewed 11 May 2012

It is convenient to get to Taipei zoo by MRT, just cost you about TWD 60. Panda is one of the animal that you can miss out in Taipei Zoo, other like penguin, koala bear and more. The zoo is very big, I am tired of walking. More

The zoo was like your average zoo with panda and koala bears attached. It was cleaner than most zoos though and my. Oys enjoyed the insectarium. Yuck! More

“Pandas!”

Reviewed 27 April 2012

It's worth it to go to the zoo in Taipei just for the two pandas there. Not that they do much, but how many pandas have you seen? Bought lots of panda-themed pasalubong for the family back in Manila. More

“go to the zoo”

Reviewed 26 April 2012

the zoo only cost $2 US and free for kis under 6, plus the MRT drops you off right there. The zoo is expansive and bring some good walking shoes. On a hot humid day try to make it to the penguin exhibit, as it is the only air condition building. More

“A full day of fun for $1 or $2!”

Reviewed 9 April 2012

This place is HUGE！ It gets really warm in the summer time as there is hardly any places with air conditioning to cool off, so bring or buy plenty of water – and if it really gets too hot head to the nocturnal animal area. The main attraction are the two pandas TuanTuan and YuanYuan that were gifted by China... More

“good museum”

Reviewed 9 April 2012

person found this review helpful

The entrance of the museum is a bit old fashioned, as well as the first buildings, including the one where one can see the pandas. Truth is the zoo is beautiful and has some great animals. The pandas are of course a big attraction and your time watching them can be limited but it is worth it. very cheap, some... More
