初鹿牧場

Nice view, feel good to take a walk over.

Nice farm where you can feed animals and diy activities

This is a tranquil place, although it is a farm, milk they provide could be bought in the supermarket, I do not numerous cows, but a few other animals instead, I then wonder how do they produce such a huge amount of milk, where do they feed the cows. Except cows on the fields, it is no doubt a farm here, there's a bunch of trees and lots and lots of turfs, keeping saying that this place is a farm. There's a trail down the other hillside, I would have go down and see where does it leads to if the weather is not like 38 Celsius, it is way too hot to have out door activity.

It’s a small place but it has all you need. First time trying their cheese pizza 10” thin crust ( they also have a thick crust option). Pretty tasty, it’s kind of sweet as they added honey on top.

Kind of a skippable place to visit for a solid 3 stars. It's very small scale where you get to see maybe 50 of it's 250 cows. There's baby cows and toddler cows and big cows grazing. In the cute animals section you can buy some grass for 25NT a bunch for the donkeys, kangaroos (not interested), goats and 10NT pig snacks for the piggies. There's like 2-3 of each type of animal. Very small scale. We saw there moving the baby cows which was the most dramatic thing we saw that day. Hiking trail through the forest was easy but not stroller accessible. Looked like a Taiwanese switzerland even on a cloudy day. Lots of snacks to buy in the milk shop. Milk by itself was pretty blah, but the ice cream was a hit. Entrance was cheap for 100NT per adult.

Would absolutely recommend this place for families with kids. I must say the branding is very well done and it’s totally worth the $100 entrance fee. There are animals, a restaurant, a dairy shop, an ice cream store, a small water park, beautiful grass and scenery, swings, and most importantly *drumroll* clean washrooms! The highlight of the ranch is definitely the animals. The ranch is filled with animals which you can purchase food to feed. The little ponies were surprisingly picky as they would only nibble on the tip of the grass! You’ll see ponies, pigs and piglets, and rabbit as soon as you walk in; cows, horses, goats as you walk further. Don’t miss the ‘cute animals area’ as you’ll see adorable baby animals like lambs, baby Kangaroos (not the typical ones), and young mooing calves. There’s gentle music playing in the background and it’s not the overwhelming Disney themed park type. It’s quite relaxing here. If you’re looking for a nursing place, it’s at the information center. But it doesn’t looks so impressive from the outside so don’t get your hope up too high. That’s probably the only basics that doesn’t seem to live up to their standards. This place is sort of stroller friendly (I would bring it, just don’t expect it to stroll easily on the grass and area where the horses are). Sort of wish the signage are in English too and that there’s a petting farm. So happy we brought our little one here.

Though a well maintained facility, there could be more trails provided for hiking lovers.

Price of admission is low, but they seem to want to nickel and dime you for everything. The 50 NT to ride down the grassy slope once was especially egregious, since you need to pull the cart up yourself afterwards. Not really much in terms of facilities, and the milk and ice cream weren’t as good and fresh as I expected. All in all good for killing time with kids, but not worth a special trip.
