The park features an indoor ski slope covered in real, man-made snow that operates regardless of the external tropical heat.
It was founded in 1979 as a specialized educational park focused on the 'Physics of Daily Life'.
The facility utilizes a large-scale water-clock mechanism that relies on gravitational flow to track time.
The park is situated on a high plateau, which allows for distinct wind-powered energy experiments and exhibits.
It includes a 'Snow City' zone that remains at -10 degrees Celsius, requiring specialized rental gear for entry.
Little Ding-Dong Science Theme Park is a 30-hectare outdoor educational facility located in Xinfeng Township, Hsinchu County. It is distinct for featuring Taiwan’s only indoor ski resort, which maintains sub-zero temperatures year-round. The park integrates scientific principles into its design, offering zones focused on optics, mechanics, and water dynamics. Visitors can engage with interactive exhibits such as the centrifugal force playground and the water-powered clock. The park is situated on a plateau, providing significant elevation over the surrounding landscape. It serves as a primary site for STEM-based field trips and outdoor family recreation. The grounds include expansive lawn areas and various physical science demonstrations held throughout the day. It operates as a permanent facility rather than a temporary exhibition.
