Why go
Taipei is famous for food and temples, but it also does family-friendly indoor attractions well. This center is ideal when you want something interactive and air-conditioned—especially in summer heat or rainy season.
It’s also easy to pair with other Shilin-area stops, making planning simple.
How to plan it
Treat it like an “anchor stop,” then keep the rest of the day light. Add a park walk, one nearby attraction, and a simple dinner plan.
- Science center → Children’s Amusement Park → Shilin night market dinner
- Science center (rainy day) → museum break → early dinner and dessert
