Exploring Taipei In 5 Days: A Family Travel Itinerary

Taipei Zoo

Taipei Zoo, the largest zoo in Taiwan, is home to a wide variety of animals, including giant pandas, koalas, and bears. A strategic way to explore the zoo is to start your tour from the top. For just NT$5, you can take a shuttle near the Koala House to Bird World station. From there, you can work your way back to the entrance or head to the Maokong Gondola station for your next adventure. This approach allows for a more relaxed and downhill stroll through the exhibits, making it easier to see all the highlights.

The Taipei Zoo is one zoo where you definitely get the best bang for your buck, as entry is only 60 NTD! It is one of ten of the largest municipal zoos, with over 400 animal species!

Located near the Maokong Gondola, this is a family-friendly activity that is enjoyable for all ages. 

Huge zoo. If you don’t go in, at least go in the 30 minute cable car for a great view of the city
