Just an hour’s ride from Taipei, Leofoo Village Theme Park in Hsinchu County offers a vibrant escape into fantasy, adventure, and nostalgia. With four themed zones, thrilling rides, and a safari-style zoo, our visit was a whirlwind of excitement and discovery.
🚌 Getting There: Easy and Scenic
We booked a combo ticket with round-trip shuttle service from Taipei Main Station. The ride was smooth and scenic, passing through lush countryside before arriving at the park gates by mid-morning. E-vouchers made entry seamless, no lines, just smiles.
🌍 Four Worlds, One Park
Leofoo Village is divided into four immersive zones:
- 🕌 Arabian Kingdom: We soared on the Flying Carpet and wandered through golden domes and desert-themed alleys.
- 🌴 South Pacific: Tropical vibes met splashy fun with the Big Canyon Rapids and tribal performances.
- 🤠 Wild West: Wooden facades, saloon-style eateries, and the Screaming Condor coaster gave us a taste of frontier thrills.
- 🦁 African Safari: This was a highlight—open-range enclosures let us see zebras, giraffes, and meerkats up close. A mini train ride through the safari added charm and comfort.
🎠 Rides and Attractions: From Mild to Wild
Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or a gentle explorer, Leofoo has something for everyone:
- Screaming Condor: Taiwan’s tallest inverted shuttle coaster, definitely for the brave!
- Flying Carpet & Sultan’s Adventure: Family-friendly rides with magical themes.
- Bird Show: A delightful surprise, colorful parrots and trained birds performing tricks.
🍔 Food and Fun
We grabbed lunch at the Wild West zone with burgers, fries, and bubble tea with a view of the coaster loops. Snack stalls dotted every corner, offering popcorn, soft serve, and themed treats like Halloween pumpkin buckets.
📸 Tips and Highlights
- Weekdays are quieter, perfect for relaxed exploration.
- Catch the live shows—they’re scheduled throughout the day and add cultural flair.
- Stay hydrated—the park is vast, and walking between zones takes time.
- Use the park map app to locate rides and rest areas easily.
🌅 Final Thoughts: A Classic Taiwanese Escape
Leofoo Village may show its age in places, but that’s part of its charm. It’s a nostalgic, family-friendly destination that blends amusement park thrills with safari wonder. For us, it was a joyful day of laughter, discovery, and shared memories.
