Taipei, Museum of Drinking Water 自來水園區

Location: google map location (No. 1, Siyuan Rd, Zhongzheng District, Taipei)

Website: 自來水園區中文版

Pros: inexpensive, parking lot available, clean, FUN!

Cons: can be crowded on weekends

Open year round, 9am - 6pm (8pm in the summer), admission is $50/Adult, $25/child ($80/$40 in the summer). Water fun can't get any cheaper in Taipei! We first visited on a Saturday in the middle of August, arrived a little past 9am, and by 10:30am it was packed with school groups. They also offer Dipping Dots and other light snacks at the concession. Would definitely recommend going!

*Closed on Mondays

*swim caps are not mandatory

*no water guns allowed

Taipei, Daan Park 大安公園

Location: google map location (Andong street #52, Taipei)
Pros: proximity to the mall, MRT, restaurants
Cons: small playground, no restrooms on site

Not to be confused with Daan Forest Park (on google map the forest park is called Daan Park. yes, it is confusing) - Daan Park is located right across from Sogo Fuxing off of Zhong Xiao E Rd. Nothing fancy, but may be a good option to let the kids get their wiggles out after doing some shopping at Sogo.
