One of the largest natural history museums in Taiwan. There are halls with roaring, moving dinosaurs, a domed space theatre that fills the ceiling with stars, and next door a botanical garden with a huge glass rainforest greenhouse; it's easy to lose a whole day. Families with kids love it. For its 40th anniversary in 2026, the exhibition halls are free on Friday afternoons from 2 to 5pm.
