If you're looking for a theme park when you visit Taipei, there is no doubt that people will recommend Leofoo Village. Taiwan's largest amusement park has lots of surprises for its visitors and you will definitely enjoy the rides here.
1. How to go to Leofoo Village?
1.1 by Bus 5350
How to go to Leofoo Village? If you are coming from Taipei, just board Bus 5350 from Songshan Airport, MRT Zhongxiao Dunhua Station or MRT Jingan Station. The bus will take you directly to Leofoo Village. My journey took 2 hours from the Songshan Airport but it was okay. I slept along the way dreaming of what would I experience at Taiwan's Disneyland.
Thanks to Klook. Booking your bus tickets to Leofoo Village is easy because you can now buy it online. The bus ticket is also packaged together with the admission ticket to Leofoo Village [Reserve Here].
There is also a shared transfer from Ximending with an admission ticket available at Klook[Reserve Here].
I highly recommend reserving the bus tickets at Klook. If you plan to board Bus 5350 back to Taipei, waiting for the bus might take too much time. Expect joining a very long queue just to have a seat at the public vehicle.
1.2 by tripool taxi
If you want to go directly to Leofoo Village Theme Park after arriving at Taoyuan International Airport, why not try the service of tripool taxi? Give an allowance of 1 hr after you arrival time at the airport for your pick-up time.
For visitors coming from Central like Taichung, you can board the Taiwan High Speed Rail and get off at HSR Hsinchu Station. If you booked a ride at tripool taxi at least one day before your trip, you will arrive at Leofoo Village without the stress of talking to taxi drivers in Chinese.
| Pick-up point | Destination | Estimated fare | Suggested pick-up time |
|---|---|---|---|
HSR Hsinchu Station | Leofoo Village Theme Park | NTD 1,370 | 9:00 am to 9:30 am (adjust your pick-up time based on your arrival time at HSR Hsinchu Station) |
| Leofoo Village | HSR Hsinchu Station | 5:00 pm to 5:30 pm (7:00 pm to 7:30 pm during summer) | |
| BUDGET PER PERSON FOR A GROUP OF 8 PEOPLE (ROUNDTRIP) | ~NTD 343 | - | |
Below are other popular tripool taxi routes that will give you a stress-free travel experience in Taiwan. If you're going as a group, you can save more time and money in tripool taxi, compared to boarding the HSR and transferring to a bus.
2. Leofoo Village Ticket Price

You can also buy your entrance tickets on-site but you might pay higher, so it's better to get it online via Klook.
3. Theme Park experience at Leofoo Village
Leofoo Village had been celebrating so many colorful years of giving fun and excitement to its visitors, whether they are Taiwanese or not. It is described as the 'Disneyland of Taiwan' and is said to be the nation's largest amusement park.
The land of Aladdin in the “Arabian Kingdom”, the splash of the waters in the “South Pacific”, the cowboy feel of the Wild West and the safari world in the “African Safari” composed the Leofoo Village. What a wonderful place!

| Ring of Fire |
I was captivated by the bulging towers of the Arabian castle in Sultan's adventure while I became crazy while riding the Ring of Fire. Do you want to challenge yourself? Enter the Judgment of Annubis and experience getting out in a room full of lasers. The Fantasy Theater featured a 30-40 minute Arabian fantasy drama which entertained the whole audience while a short but sweet magic Flying Carpet Ride will make you feel like a child again.
 |
| Pagoda's Revenge |
 |
| Captain Cook's Swinging Ship |
 |
| Mighty Mountain Flume Adventure |
The South Pacific featured the classic Captain Cook's Swinging Ship, a wild river ride in the Mighty Mountain Flume Adventure, a free fall experience in the Pagoda's Revenge and many other water-themed rides. I wanted to try the Mighty Mountain Flume Adventure but since I was just alone I was not allowed to ride the log boat. There must be at least two people to ride the log boat. A kind Taiwanese mom and her kid joined me in the log boat and we made big splash as the boat slides down in the artificial river.
 |
| Monkey Trail |
Enter the African Safari and experience seeing different kinds of monkeys from above as you pedal a bike in the Monkey Trail. Take a journey at the Nairobi Express and enjoy seeing animals like the hippopotamus in their natural environment. Wild beast can be viewed safely without being eaten alive in the Tour Bus. Say hi to the black bears, tigers and lions! Just don't break the glass windows of the bus or else... haha!
Be a cowboy in the Wild West! Explore the old American town, barn houses, and a railroad mine. Just don't do bad things or you will find yourself inside the sheriff's house. Enjoy the extreme rides like the Screaming Condor, the roller coaster in the Little Rattler and the crowd favorite Big Canyon Rapids. I got scared at the Old Oil Well but I'm sure riding it will you give you the thrill of your life.
A colorful parade of dancing mascots and beautiful Caucasians will make you forget that you are in Taiwan. Their floats were filled with Disney-like characters giving you that Disneyland feel. Hungry? No problem! There were a lot of food kiosks around and restaurants too. Coin-operated lockers were also available to keep your belongings safe.
At 7pm, the lights started to turned off, the sound of laughter disappears and the gates of Leofoo Village was slowly being closed. I went home tired but very happy.
