Venue Description

This is a large indoor exhibition hall located in the Tropical Rainforest Zone of Taipei Zoo (Muzha) in Wenshan District, Taipei City. It is named after the pangolin's image, but pangolins are not exhibited inside (they are kept in the Taiwan Animal Area). The hall boasts a ceiling height of 24 meters and features an immersive, mixed-ecology design centered on the Amazon River basin of South America, integrating aquatic areas, forests, and canopy layers. It has also received gold-level green building certification. The exhibit features a symbiotic mixed-species display where cotton-top tamarins, two-toed sloths, various birds, and amphibians/reptiles move freely around visitors; most birds are not afraid of people. There is also an underwater tunnel displaying giant freshwater fish like arapaima. It is equipped with accessible elevators and upper/lower floor pathways. The front of the building faces the Giant Panda House across a walkway. Please note that some passages are narrow and can become crowded during peak hours. It is suitable for visitors who love rainforest ecology and observing animals up close.

Review Summary

The Pangolin House is located in the Tropical Rainforest Zone of Taipei Zoo. Its theme revolves around pangolins, although pangolins are not exhibited within the house itself. Visitors have praised the design and atmosphere of the pavilion; the high-ceilinged space and lush green surroundings evoke a rainforest ambiance. Guests can also have close interactions, such as encounters with cotton-top tamarins and sloths, offering a unique experience. However, the flow design within the pavilion has received some criticism. Certain areas are quite narrow, making it inconvenient for visitors to pass through, especially during peak hours when overcrowding frequently occurs. Furthermore, regarding the specimen displays, some specimens lack explanatory information, diminishing their educational value. Overall, the Pangolin House is a place rich in ecological characteristics, offering opportunities to get close to animals, but there is still room for improvement in crowd management and exhibit content.
