Taipei Children’s Amusement Park

Taipei Childrens Amusement Park

The third attraction within very close proximity of each other, the Taipei Children’s Amusement Park is certainly no Disneyland, but it is a good value and offers enough rides and thrills to keep more younger children amused for an evening, although there are a handful of rides aimed at more older children too.
