Pingtung Marine Biology and Aquarium (National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium) has been established for a long time. Nanba Tian, which is operated with a marine theme, is included in the list when planning the Pingtung Kenting itinerary for almost anyone with children or those who love marine animals. Inside, I finally brought Little Hamburg to visit this year. He had fun all the way from the door to the closing of the park. We can rest assured to organize this lazy bag for parents to refer to and ensure that the children will like it!

Highlights of the four major areas of the Marine Biology Museum
Welcome Plaza
Little Burger can’t wait to rush forward. He is looking forward to seeing all kinds of marine life at the Aquarium for the first time. The first thing that catches your eye is that the museum produces dolphins, sailfish, big-finned whales and baby whales and sperm whales in equal proportions. People can enter the water to cool off, and there are also Starbucks, snack shops and virtual sea world VR experience pavilion. We first watched it for a while and then visited the major museums. We only came to buy ice cream, souvenirs and souvenirs until the park closed. Take a group photo to grasp the time of day thoroughly.
▲ The caramel squid is super delicious and highly recommended!
▲ Little Burger recognized that the killer whale was learned from the National Geographic Channel video.
Coral Kingdom Pavilion
The first building includes the Coral Kingdom Pavilion and the Taiwan Waters Pavilion. The former is divided into a coral reef preview area, undersea tunnels, shipwreck exploration, and marine mammals. You can learn about corals and surrounding ecology from the bottom of the sea all the way to the shipwreck. Children can learn about corals and surrounding ecology through text and images. We know the importance of maintaining marine ecology.The other major attraction of this museum is the little white whale, which perfectly shows that it was born into life. Little Burger watched the little white whale and lobbied, "Can I go in and swim with him?" (mother laughed and thought it was cute).
▲ Finally saw the cute little fish!
▲ Parents and mothers will accompany the commentary in the Tour Haisheng Museum, which is very helpful for the absorption of small children!
▲ The child was very funny with a frightened look on his face.
▲ Wendy showed "a mouthful of white teeth" funny.
▲ Large projection.
▲ The children like the little white whale very much.
Seafood canteen
After visiting the Coral Kingdom, it’s close to lunch. The cafeteria provides Chinese and Western hot food, drinks, and ice products. The prices are reasonable and not too expensive. There are not too many people who choose to play on weekdays. You can enjoy meals and take a rest in peace. We let the small burgers take a nap here, and in the afternoon we have the energy to continue visiting other restaurants and running. Although there is air-conditioning in the canteen, we still remind everyone to remember to bring a small fan. The children’s body temperature is relatively high during a nap, and it is easy to sweat and not sleep. Well, a cool sleep is a bit heavier.

Taiwan Waters Pavilion
The main axis is the travel of a drop of water, showing Taiwan’s transition from the cold mountain stream to the endless seashore. The water cycle is regenerated to match the ecology of the surrounding species. We feel that the museum is very careful and convenient for parents to explain to the children at the same time. Mountains to sea, estuary area, intertidal zone, children’s exploration area, sub-tide zone to Ocean Pool, and finally being able to touch sea stars and other creatures by hand is a great parent-child education trip. Children are also closer to the ocean and understand marine life better. many.
▲ The space in the museum is spacious and comfortable. It is recommended that everyone come as far as possible to avoid crowds.
▲ Dolly is also a movie role that children are familiar with.
▲ Contact with starfish is also one of the must-attend activities.
World Waters Pavilion
Follow the moving line to the World Waters Pavilion. There are large-scale installation artworks outside the museum and giant projections inside the museum. We have learned about the differences in ecological species from ancient to modern times in the seas around the world. The most eye-catching area is the polar seas. The penguin family, the children’s favorite family, has increased a lot compared to when they visited in 2008. They are swaying and amusing. They jump into the water and swim very fast. The little Hamburger stayed in this museum for the longest time and was reluctant to leave, and had no choice but to close the park. Half coaxed and half tricked away.
▲ In addition to the cafeteria, there are also restaurants here.
▲ Watch the commentary video with 3D glasses.
▲ Static exhibition of jellyfish shapes.
▲ The seaweed box is the place where IG punches the most.
▲ "Are you looking at me?"
Whale Exhibition Hall
We are very fast tourists, but we still can’t finish viewing this museum. This is the cooperation between the Energy Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Haisheng Pavilion to turn the Binhai Management Station into a photovoltaic classic pavilion using solar power technology. It can only be visited three times in the future. Sprint again!
▲ The one-day trip is coming to an end.
Conclusion
Compared with the "aquarium", the Marine Museum (National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium) does have a high content of knowledge in accordance with its name. Static text, dynamic audio and video, and interactive commentary promote the understanding of marine ecology. Of course, for preschoolers Little children need their parents to help explain, and children after school age can watch on their own. In the past few years, the museum has even launched the "Night-night Aquarium". Sleeping with marine animals is also an itinerary that I want to try next time. Welcome everyone Share it with me.
