The Center
is built on the combined site of the former Yuanshan Zoo and Children's
Amusement Park. Its name was changed to The Taipei Municipal Children's
Recreation Center in 1984. In recent years there has been a complete overhaul
and renovation of the park.
It is a
recreational center that provides education and amusement. The layout is
amazing with much attention to detail.
The Center
is divided into three theme areas with different characters: "World of
Yesterday", "Amusement World" and " World of Tomorrow".
The
World of Yesterday
offers visitors the life experience of the ancestors. It was officially opened
to the public in January 1st 1991. It is sub-divided into: The Mythical World;
a children’s play area, a folk art/handicrafts area, a folk arts culture area,
and the Yuanshan Archeological Site Exhibition room.
Amusement World
focuses mainly on the recreational activities of children and teenagers and has
a number of amusement park rides that appeal to these age groups.
The
World of Tomorrow
emphasizes the introduction of updated scientific knowledge. The Space Theatre
was opened to the public in August 1992. The area contains: the space theatre;
a parent and children’s fun area, a children’s science exhibition floor, and a
“take a break” rest area.
These
three areas present different styles and features of "folklore", "amusement" and
"science".
