The park features a special animal interaction zone where visitors of all ages can enjoy feeding Boer goats up close. As a multi-faceted Taichung leisure farm, the park integrates four restaurants: Luliao, Chengshi Vegetarian, Songyun, and Suiyue Hot Pot, offering a diverse range of dining options. The admission ticket can be redeemed for NT$50 off any park consumption, giving visitors flexibility in their dining or experiences. In addition to animal interactions, the park also boasts a well-maintained lakeside trail, with a winding stream on one side where fish can be fed. There's also a bald cypress plaza, allowing visitors to relax amidst lush greenery while strolling. To address the challenge of inconvenient mountain transportation, the park provides three dedicated parking lots for self-driving visitors. Furthermore, the park offers forest accommodations and meeting room rentals, catering to the diverse needs of different guest groups. ### 享自在生態園區 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Taichung Family Farms with Bald Cypress Secrets REVIEWED BY [WuTea](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/wutea/) Jennifer's most anticipated feature at Enjoy Self-Contained Ecological Park was its bald cypress secret garden, and upon entering the park, a vast expanse of bald cypresses reflected in the water immediately greeted her. Strolling along the boardwalk, she could admire the entire grove, a truly serene and relaxing experience. Outdoor seating is available in the plaza, perfect for children to rest when they get tired. The restrooms next to the bald cypress plaza are equipped with diaper changing stations, a significant plus for parents. Beyond the restaurant area, Enjoy Self-Contained Ecological Park also offers forest accommodations. A viewing platform on the third floor provides a panoramic vista of the entire park. If you love animals, you can also bring your children to feed the sheep, making this a Taichung Family Farm where both adults and kids can find enjoyment. However, please note that all pathways within the park are made of stone slabs, so it's important to carry or hold your children's hands to ensure their safety!

This venue specializes in close-up animal feeding experiences combined with a wide range of children's play areas, offering a complete itinerary for parents and children to enjoy together. The farm is home to many animals, from common poultry to unique species, allowing visitors to experience the joy of feeding them firsthand. In addition to chickens, ducks, and geese, you can also spot ostriches, blue peacocks, and sika deer. There's also a section for gentle small animals like guinea pigs and rabbits, suitable for children of all ages. Behind the farm, a dedicated children's play zone features an inflatable castle, a sandpit with a pool, and a mini train. On weekends, the venue hosts magic shows or street performers, and cartoon mascots regularly appear for photo opportunities and interactions with children, adding an element of surprise to the visit. The venue has its own parking lot, accommodating approximately 40 to 50 vehicles, and includes a concession stand offering food and beverages. The admission ticket can be redeemed for NT$50 off purchases within the farm, applicable to hot meals, snacks, and drinks, but not eggs. ### 正實親子農場 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #A recreational farm for egg collecting and water play REVIEWED BY [WuTea](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/wutea/) Zhengshi Parent-Child Farm's biggest draw is the chance to see hens lay eggs and collect them yourself. The venue provides free chicken feed, so WuTea and her children fed the chickens while collecting eggs. They even witnessed an egg drop, complete with mucus, feathers, and a bit of blood — a stark contrast to store-bought eggs. The eggs were still warm, making for a truly unique experience! This Taichung Family Farm offers an egg-collecting service with provided cartons that hold 10 eggs, priced at NT$10 each. Although the chickens are semi-free-range, the farm staff frequently clean the area, so there's no strong odor. The children especially enjoyed eating the eggs they collected, with the added satisfaction of having gathered them themselves. WuTea's children also loved the inflatable castle and the wading pool. Staff members supervise the children, and thoughtful details like sunshades over the sandpit show the venue's consideration for young visitors.

Beyond its rich ecology, this Taichung Family Farm offers diverse activities such as DIY craft classes and a splash pool.

The park not only offers close-up interactions with alpacas and Valais Blacknose sheep but also features numerous meticulously arranged photo spots, combining ecological experiences with memorable photo opportunities. The farm's animal area boasts a wide variety of species. In addition to the ever-popular alpacas and goats, you can also see animals like tortoises, meerkats, and sika deer. Each species is managed in separate fenced sections, conveniently located next to the restaurant for easy visitor access. The viewing path follows clear signs, allowing you to explore all areas in a single loop. A restaurant is located at the park entrance, offering full meal options such as hot pot, pasta, and light meals, as well as afternoon tea snacks for those looking to take a break. As a comprehensive Taichung recreational farm, its dining services are quite complete, with special limited-time dishes occasionally offered on weekends. Because the farm is built on a hillside, most of the park features sloped terrain, and visitors must manually open and close animal enclosure gates. Parents with young children should pay extra attention to safety while walking. Additionally, while the trees within the park provide good shade, mosquito repellent is still recommended. The parking lot entrance is located behind the main gate and is somewhat inconspicuous. ### 今夜星辰農場 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Diverse Animals and Delicious Meals in One Place REVIEWED BY [WuTea](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/wutea/) Jinyexingchen Farm is a long-established Taichung Family Farm in Central Taiwan, offering a diverse array of animals that visitors can interact with up close. The guinea pig area, in particular, stands out among the many Taichung Family Farms WuTea has visited, with its spacious and unique design. The meerkats are also incredibly friendly, a huge hit with the kids! Animal feed costs NT$50 per bag, with different types of feed available for different animals, so you'll need to purchase them separately. Each animal enclosure clearly indicates which food items are suitable for feeding. The venue features numerous slopes and fences, which might pose a challenge for strollers or visitors with disabilities. It's better suited for young children who can already run and play independently. If you get tired, there are plenty of benches along the pathways for a rest. WuTea also highly recommends the food here; the menu offers a wide variety of choices, and the portions are generous. Two main courses are just right for two adults and two children. This Taichung Family Farm is perfect for the whole family: adults can enjoy afternoon tea and take photos, while children can feed the animals and run around freely!

Most of the animals on the premises are available for adoption, allowing visitors to not only get up close with them but also help them find their forever homes. The venue hosts a diverse array of animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, donkeys, sheep, ostriches, and capybaras. Its most distinctive feature is that the animals roam freely, so visitors often see rabbits scurrying around their feet or encounter goats out for a stroll, giving children plenty of opportunities for close-up interactions. The overall layout of the grounds is simple and rustic, making it a Taichung leisure farm where you can fully immerse yourself in nature. If you don't plan to enter, there's also an observation deck at the entrance where visitors can overlook the entire venue's activities. The final stretch of the road leading to the farm is quite narrow, only wide enough for one car, so drivers need to be especially careful when passing oncoming vehicles. However, the farm has its own dedicated parking lot, making it convenient for visitors arriving by car. ### 京葉馬場兔樂園 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #A Rabbit Wonderland with Down-to-Earth Charm REVIEWED BY [Jennifruit](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/jennifruit/) This was Jennifer's first visit to this Taichung Family Farm. After paying the entrance fee, guests receive a hand stamp and a cup of feed, along with a warm explanation of the venue's rules. It was surprising to learn that all the animals on the farm are available for free adoption! During feeding, staff members constantly demonstrate the correct way to feed the animals and introduce their habits. They also offer opportunities to take photos with ostriches, making the experience both fun and educational. During Jennifer's visit, many animals had recently given birth, offering the chance to see adorable baby rabbits and capybaras. The staff even led them on a secret path to find the capybaras, asking them to quietly observe how the capybara mother cared for her babies without disturbance. Jennifer found this to be an incredibly educational experience for children. Upon leaving, guests can pick up a snack at the counter. Handwashing stations with soap are also thoughtfully provided at the exit. This is a simple yet memorable Taichung Family Farm that comes highly recommended!
