Frequently Asked Questions

Standard admission grants access to the deer enclosures and typically includes a basic portion of deer feed, such as grass or pellets, for interaction.
Most visitors spend between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours at the farm, which is sufficient for feeding the deer, taking photographs, and exploring the grounds.
Guests can hand-feed and pet free-roaming sika deer within designated fenced enclosures, though the animals may be skittish if approached too quickly.
Visitors typically take a train to Yilan or Luodong stations and then hire a taxi or rent a car to reach the farm, as public bus routes to the rural location are infrequent.
The farm is highly suitable for families with young children, though parents must closely supervise toddlers to ensure they do not startle the deer or put unwashed hands in their mouths.
The main pathways are mostly flat and paved, making them navigable for strollers, but some grassy enclosure areas may be difficult for standard wheelchairs to traverse.
Mornings and late afternoons are ideal, as the deer are most active and hungry during these cooler hours, whereas they tend to rest in the shade during midday heat.
Visitors should bring wet wipes or hand sanitizer for cleaning hands after feeding, along with sun protection or rain gear depending on the season, as much of the farm is outdoors.
Admission vouchers booked through online travel platforms are typically valid only for the specific date selected or within a stated 30-day window, subject to the vendor's specific refund policy.
Visitors should hold the feed flat on their palms to avoid accidental finger nips and refrain from feeding the deer any outside human food or plastic wrappers.
