### 八老爺車 —— 乳牛的家 About the Venue

Introduction

Balao Ye Che - The Home of Dairy Cows, located in Tainan's Liuying Dairy Township, is a Tainan Family Farm that combines interactive farm animals with a nostalgic railway experience. The venue's main draw is the opportunity to ride a historic narrow-gauge train, once used for sugarcane transport, on a scheduled round trip to Xinying Sugar Refinery, offering a unique way to explore the grounds.

From the moment you arrive, the venue immerses you in a rich railway atmosphere. The ticket booth is designed to resemble a train station, and the adjacent restaurant is a repurposed train car. A large parking area is available at the entrance, and admission fees can be redeemed for animal feed or milk.

While waiting for the train, the animal area is a popular spot for families. Visitors can get up close and feed gentle animals like dairy cows, goats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and musk pigs, enjoying the charm of a small Tainan leisure farm.

Beyond animal feeding, the venue also features a quiet butterfly exhibit and a traditional toy area. The former displays various butterfly specimens, while the latter showcases early life tools such as bamboo baskets and wooden horses. Additionally, there's a shallow splash pool with sunshades, perfect for children to cool off and play on hot days.

#Ride the unique narrow-gauge train to Xinying Sugar Refinery

REVIEWED BY [WuTea](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/wutea/)

WuTea's family has visited Balao Ye Che - The Home of Dairy Cows three times already. The spacious venue is perfect for kids to burn off energy, and despite being a farm, the overall environment is clean and completely odor-free. Throughout the visit, you'll constantly see staff tidying up, and all the milk bottles for feeding are in perfect condition.

WuTea's children especially love riding the unique narrow-gauge train, which isn't available anywhere else. As it travels along the tracks, you'll see rice paddies, roads, and small bridges. A guide will introduce the crops, landmarks, and various farm equipment along the way. The train goes all the way to Xinying Sugar Refinery, where you can get off, enjoy some ice cream, and explore a bit before heading back.

After riding the train back to this Tainan Family Farm, you can feed the small animals and then dine at their restaurant. The train car-shaped dining area makes mealtime extra fun for kids. In the summer, the farm also provides a shaded water play area, so spending an entire day there is no problem at all!

## Shugu Farm 樹谷農場

PLATE 02–03

### 樹谷農場 About the Venue

Introduction

Shugu Farm, located within the Tainan Sinshih Southern Taiwan Science Park, stands out among the surrounding tech facilities as a unique Tainan Family Farm. The venue specializes in close-up interactions with various small animals, with clear signage throughout and a paid parking lot for visitor convenience.

Admission includes a portion of animal feed, which visitors can use to feed parrots, peacocks, rabbits, guinea pigs, lambs, and miniature horses. Different species are housed in separate zones. Although the area is not large, it is well-planned with clear pathways, and additional feed can be purchased on-site.

In addition to regular feeding, paid activities such as pony rides and "Little Animal Healer" experiences are available on weekends. A mini-train and carousel are also located outside the farm. The "Little Animal Healer" activity allows children to build a deeper connection with the animals by grooming them. Other programs include a guinea pig car show, making this a Tainan leisure farm rich in activities.

The overall environment is well-maintained, clean, and odor-free, ensuring a comfortable experience without feeling crowded. The venue offers ample shade, making it a pleasant spot to relax, but this also attracts mosquitoes, so visitors are advised to bring their own insect repellent.

#Over 10 Animal Interactions for Endless Fun

REVIEWED BY [WuTea](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/wutea/)

As soon as WuTea's child arrived, they were immediately drawn to the dinosaurs outside the Shugu Living Science Museum across the way. Walking further in, they saw a long queue, which turned out to be the entrance to Shugu Farm.

After purchasing tickets, visitors receive a bag of feed. Nearby, there's an area to buy hay and milk, with a clear sign indicating what each animal eats. Each animal enclosure also has a sign specifying what the animals in that area eat, ensuring both children's feeding enjoyment and animal health.

Overall, the animals appeared well-cared for, with healthy coats and no strong odors. The interaction distance with the animals is very close, so even small children can easily engage.

WuTea felt the only drawback of this Tainan Family Farm was that there's only one hand-washing station, and restrooms require walking back to the entrance, with no clear signage for the restroom path. However, the overall environment is comfortable, and the diverse animals and activities make it well worth a visit with children.

### 走馬瀨農場 About the Venue

Introduction

Zuomalai Farm is a spacious Tainan Family Farm in Tainan's Danei District, spanning 120 hectares and offering a wealth of dynamic activities and natural ecology that make it a top choice for many families. Operated by the Tainan Farmers' Association for over 30 years, this venue is not just a leisure destination but also a cherished childhood memory for many.

Despite its long history, the facilities are well-maintained and exceptionally clean, from the spotless, odor-free restrooms to the mosquito repellent thoughtfully provided at the visitor center — all reflecting the operators' dedication. Even with its vast area, the venue never feels crowded, even on long holidays, allowing visitors to comfortably enjoy the outdoors.

The farm offers a diverse range of activities, including a petting zoo for interacting with small animals and various natural ecosystems to explore. The signature Ukrainian stunt show and equestrian performance are unmissable highlights, alongside family-friendly facilities like bumper boats and archery.

For those seeking a deeper experience, Zuomalai Farm also provides accommodation and camping areas. Its expansive grounds and rich activity roster make it ideal for a two-day, one-night weekend family getaway.

#So many facilities you can play for days

REVIEWED BY [喬](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/%E5%96%AC/)

Zuomalai Farm holds cherished childhood memories for me, and now, as a mother, bringing my own children here feels especially nostalgic.

While the overall facilities haven't changed much over the years, the environment is still exceptionally well-maintained, and there are many new and incredibly fun activities, such as ecological tours for kids, various DIY workshops, archery, and pedal boats. There's so much to do, it's dazzling.

This Tainan Family Farm isn't about being an Instagrammable hotspot; its rustic, natural charm is what makes it so special. Parents can relax and wander with their children, breathing in the natural scent of grass that fills the air, which makes you slow down without even realizing it. Even a full day isn't enough to experience everything.

For first-time visitors, I recommend taking the park shuttle. The guide is very enthusiastic and will introduce you to the venue. The website also has a detailed map of the park. It's a Tainan Family Farm that you can visit many times and never get tired of.

## Dakeng Leisure Farm 大坑休閒農場

PLATE 04–03

### 大坑休閒農場 About the Venue

Introduction

Dakeng Leisure Farm in Tainan's Xinhua District is a Tainan Family Farm that combines animal feeding with a variety of free play facilities, making it ideal for family outings. This expansive Tainan leisure farm features accommodations, a boathouse café, a restaurant, and an ecological zone, catering to diverse visitor needs.

The farm is home to various animals, including piglets, rabbits, chickens, geese, and pigeons. Visitors can purchase feed or milk separately to enjoy the fun of close-up feeding. Additionally, the farm offers free facilities such as small slides, a sand play area, a grass sledding hill, swings, and rocking horses.

Upon entering, visitors pass through a wisteria-adorned walkway, where the romantic purple flower tunnel is a popular spot for photos. As there are many mosquitoes in the area, mosquito repellent is available at the entrance ticket booth and service counter, and visitors are proactively reminded to use it.

Admission tickets can be fully redeemed for food and beverage purchases at the farm's restaurant or boathouse café. The restaurant also sells farm-produced eggs, preserved eggs, and dried fruits as souvenirs. A dedicated outdoor parking lot is available outside the farm.

#Up-Close Animal Encounters for Little Ones

REVIEWED BY [Shen](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/shen/)

Shen visited Dakeng Leisure Farm, and while the website listed many facilities, several areas like the mountain trail, high-ropes course, and spa were closed for cleaning. The overall playable area was small, so it's a good idea to check the venue's Facebook page for the latest updates before you go.

Shen felt this Tainan Family Farm is perfect for parents to bring young children for close-up interactions with small animals. After feeding, there are also some simple play facilities nearby for kids to burn off energy. However, there were many mosquitoes in the park; even with two mosquito repellent patches and spray, Shen still got bitten. It's recommended to wear thin long sleeves and pants.

On the day of the visit, a company was setting up for a private event the next day. Since the venue also offers accommodation, it seems well-suited for university freshman camps or corporate group events.

#The Ultimate Choice for Family Kiln BBQ

REVIEWED BY [WuTea](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/wutea/)

Chunyuan Parent-Child Farm is more like an amusement park than a Tainan Family Farm, according to Shen, because it has very few animals. It's perfect for inviting a large group of friends to bring their children to play, allowing adults to relax with a barbecue and chat while kids enjoy unlimited access to play facilities and run around the grass. The venue even provides a water dispenser, which is a thoughtful touch.

On the day of the visit, the venue had arranged a special storytelling session with an older brother, which captivated the children. Although Shen's child didn't go into the splash pool this time, the presence of a staff member continuously supervising the splash pool area showed the venue's carefulness. However, children still need parental supervision!

Shen also highly recommends that parents bringing their children to Chunyuan Parent-Child Farm bring their own sand-digging tools, swimsuits, and bubble wands to ensure the kids have an even more enjoyable time!
