Tainan/Zuo Zhen Fossil Museum

A truly unique place—the Fossil Museum! Inside, you'll find traces of animals from long, long ago, such as dinosaur bones, ancient elephant teeth, and fossils of small marine creatures. Visiting this museum feels like stepping into a time machine to witness the prehistoric world!

1. Giant Elephant Fossils
→ Zuo Zhen is famous for "Stegodon" and "Mammuthus" fossils, showcasing that "elephants once lived in Tainan!"

2. Whale Bones
→ Teach kids that "this area used to be an ocean, not land! That's why there are so many marine fossils."

3. Dinosaur Models and Fossil Replicas
→ A favorite among children, you can explain that "dinosaurs were truly enormous. Although dinosaurs never lived in Taiwan, we can still see fossils of animals from the same era."

4. Interactive Zone
→ Certain areas allow kids to "dig for fossils" and "assemble bones," giving them hands-on experiences.

We became little explorers, discovering the elephants that once roamed Tainan and the creatures that lived in the sea. Fossils are like nature's diary, telling us stories from long ago.
