Exhibition date： Permanent exhibition
Exhibition place：B1

Description

This area focuses on science in daily life and traffic safety knowledge, divided into two main sections: the “Fun City Shopping District” and the “Children’s Traffic Park.” This mini-city, created in collaboration with the Ministry of Transportation and Communications’ Road Traffic Safety Supervision Committee, allows visitors to experience and learn about traffic safety rules through features like traffic lanes, sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, pedestrian traffic signals, and various commercial buildings.

Shops line up on both sides of the streets in the mini-city’s road layout. Hopefully, every young visitor will become the protagonist of the city and learn to navigate safely in the city with the appropriate conceptions that the experiences convey.

The Fun City Shopping District includes nine areas: “Cake Shop,”
“Dental Clinic,” “Environmental Protection Company,” “City Public Works Bureau,” “Flower Shop,” “Grocery Supermarket,” “Vehicle Repair Shop,” “Freight Company,” and “City Radio Station.” These areas guide children to explore different aspects of daily life, allowing them to fully experience science in everyday situations.

The “Build. Create. Benefit. Play - Children’s Block Experience Area” offers a variety of blocks for children to freely use. Here, children can learn to construct, arrange, classify, and assemble, while also stimulating their perception of colors and shapes, and enhancing hand-eye coordination and hand muscle development.

This exhibition hall is suitable for children aged 3 to 8. Each session lasts 50 minutes and can accommodate up to 100 people. For details of sessions, please refer to the published schedule of Fun City.

Focus

Children’s Traffic Park
This area features real traffic lights, signs, and road markings within a city setting, allowing children to simulate driving on real roads and put traffic safety rules into practice. Through play-based learning, the correct concepts of traffic safety are instilled from an early age and integrated into children’s daily lives.
Children’s Car Driving
Electric vehicles for children are provided on-site for visitors to experience riding for a fee. While riding on the Fun City roads, children learn about traffic lights and signs, practicing rules such as “stop on red, go on green” and “drivers yielding to pedestrians.” Through play-based learning, appropriate traffic safety concepts are integrated into children’s daily lives. 1.Operating Hours: This experience has limited availability. Within the exhibit hours, each child can access once per session. Staff will give out numbers for cars and motorcycles based on availability for each session. 2.Experience Fee: NT$30 per use.
