Frequently Asked Questions

General admission includes access to the permanent prehistoric artifact exhibitions, the architectural observation deck, and the outdoor archaeological park. Special temporary exhibitions or guided audio tours may require a separate reservation.

Yes, the facility is fully wheelchair and stroller accessible, featuring ramps, elevators to all main exhibition floors, and accessible restrooms. The outdoor park paths are also paved and relatively flat for easy navigation.
Weekday mornings shortly after opening offer the quietest experience, as weekends and public holidays attract large crowds of local families and school groups. The outdoor park is best enjoyed in the late afternoon when the sun sets over the Tamsui River estuary.
Bring comfortable walking shoes for the outdoor park and sun protection, as the open plaza areas offer limited shade. Photography is permitted in most areas, so bringing a camera is recommended to capture the unique building angles and river views.
