TL;DR: Top Taoyuan family attractions: Xpark (indoor), Tomita Farm (farm), Fenghe Park (free). ⚠️ Pushin Ranch closed for renovation on 23 February 2026, with 22 February its last day of operation. Its own site currently shows "temporarily closed" with no reopening date announced (Pushin Ranch). This 70-year-old ranch cannot be visited right now — plan around it.
