the  ferry wheel    






the bumping car




                  the flying chair

 

Fee and ticket:

But how could you leave there without having fun with the bumpung car,flying chair,(飛椅),ferry wheel and the roller coaster? 

Though they are not that interesting and stimulating like those in the amusement park, it is still very interesting. I really enjoy my time there very much because i can relax and enjoy the whole process .this is what i can't do when I was little.when i rode them,i played with some little children there and also appreciated there funny and twisting faces. ha ha ha it is quite interesting.

It is free for charge if you  just want to enter there. But if you want to play the entertainment devices,you have to buy tickets . Each tickets cost 20 dollars. I will suggest you buy about 8 to 10 tickets.

How to get there:

台北市中山北路三段66號

It has two gates individually on中山北road and 敦煌road.

You can take the MRT or bus or even drive you car there.

It has been closed in 2011 because of the 台北國際花卉博覽會,it open again on july 1st .

Sadly,It is going to move to 士林 .

I believe that for some children,the Taipei children recreation centers has played an important role in the memory . It flourished in our childhood and accompanied us  growing up. The reason why i went there again in my summer vacation is because that i heard it is going to closed and move to another places! This really shocked my and drove me to get there by my own . I want to go there again with my eyes and camera,to record precious memory.
