One-day Tour in Tainan: Recommended Budget-Friendly Family Travel Itinerary

Keleguomama

Coming to Tainan, this culinary capital full of snacks, there are other attractions suitable for dates, walks, picnics, and family time.

Pick up some delicious Tainan street food, explore the area, take in the vast views, and see the adorable little animals.

Enjoy a relaxing and pleasant trip without spending a fortune.

On this trip to Tainan, we didn’t visit historical sites but instead headed to “Wilderness World” and the “Chimei Museum.”

How are these two seemingly unrelated attractions grouped together?!

But actually, both are leisure spots where you can relax and unwind.

After purchasing a ticket to enter “Wilderness World,” you can buy some food to feed the small animals.

Bring a pack of bread and a bag of fruits and vegetables — different animals eat different foods.

(Only this area in the whole park sells feeding food, and by the end, I still felt like I hadn’t bought enough!)

I told my 3-year-old daughter Guoguo over and over again, reminding her not to feed the food to herself. I was so afraid she’d end up sharing snacks with the animals, one bite at a time with me watching nervously.

Other than Shoushan Zoo, getting up close with small animals is something kids absolutely love.

Maybe because kids are naturally like little animals themselves, they understand and love seeing other small creatures more?

From turtles, birds, capybaras (a.k.a. giant rats), flamingos, alpacas (grass mud horses), miniature horses, hedgehogs… the kids all scrambled to feed them.

Figuring out which ones eat bread and which ones eat veggies kept the kids busy switching the food in their hands.

Guoguo, being small in stature, wanted to feed the animals but was scared of getting bitten — her expression was absolutely adorable.

The animals at “Wilderness World” are pretty well taken care of.

The park environment also doesn’t have too much of an unpleasant smell.

The animals’ fur looks relatively healthy.

We really dread encountering farms that are poorly managed and unclean — that’s inhumane for the animals.

The peacocks here are free-roaming?! Watching them leap right out of their enclosures, they probably couldn’t be contained even if they tried.

Look at them strolling around freely everywhere — other animals must be quite envious.

On this day at “Wilderness World,” we explored almost the entire park except for the insect section.

We also rode on a few not-too-intense amusement rides before finally leaving. Haha.

Having visited Tainan many times, this was our first time visiting the “Chimei Museum.”

This time, we didn’t make any prior reservations for the indoor exhibits and simply wandered around the outdoor areas of the park.

On the Olympus Bridge, there are 12 statues of the main gods from the Temple of Olympus.

The “Chimei Museum” complex covers a vast area — perfect for a picnic! (Though I didn’t see anyone picnicking here.)

Guoguo was holding his strawberry bread, taking bites as he walked — must’ve been really hungry!

That distant large chimney belongs to the “Shi Gu Cultural Park,” which we visited ages ago but never wrote about.

This lake also has ducks, geese, and turtles roaming freely.

Visiting Tainan? Looking for family-friendly spots or romantic strolls? These two attractions are perfect for that!
