Overview

Farglory Ocean Park is Taiwan's first marine-themed amusement park, located along the Pacific coastline in Hualien. The park integrates marine life conservation exhibits with mechanical amusement rides and theatrical performances. Primary attractions include daily dolphin and sea lion shows, a cable car system, and a marine mammal discovery center. The layout spans several themed zones designed to mimic an 18th-century British dockside and Victorian-era architectural styles. Visitors can observe various marine species, including manatees and coral reef fish, in climate-controlled indoor tanks. The park provides panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean due to its elevated cliffside location. Educational programs are conducted to promote marine biology awareness and conservation efforts.

Insider tips

Prioritize the outdoor shows early in the day to avoid peak afternoon UV radiation, as seating is often exposed to the sun.

Use the cable car to reach the upper sections of the park to save energy for walking down through the attractions.

Bring a change of clothes if planning to engage with water-based rides or splash-prone animal enclosures.

What to avoid

Missing the scheduled performance times, as shows do not run continuously throughout the day.

Good to know

Occasionally closed on select Wednesdays for maintenance; check the official calendar for seasonal operation updates.

Etiquette

Flash photography is strictly prohibited during animal performances to ensure the safety and well-being of the marine mammals.
