Bambi Land’s appeal is wonderfully simple: you get close to sika deer and capybaras, with feed included in the admission ticket. I like the gentle, hands-on encounter and the clean, carefully arranged grounds, which make this an easy stop with children or a welcome change of pace on a Yilan outing.
The trade-off is scale. This is a small farm, not a full-day animal park, and the number of species and facilities is limited. If you expect a long list of exhibits for your ticket price, you may leave wanting more.
Key points

Getting close to deer and capybaras
The heart of Bambi Land is the chance to feed its animals at close range. Sika deer and capybaras are the main draw, and the included feed means you do not have to pay extra just to take part in the basic interaction. That small detail helps the admission feel more complete, especially for families who want an activity rather than a quick look through an enclosure.
The animals are described as gentle, but feeding still calls for care. Deer can get enthusiastic when food is involved, so follow the staff’s instructions and keep children beside you. The park asks all visitors to read and follow its interactive safety guidelines before entering. Children under 120 centimetres must stay with a parent at all times, and children under 12 need a parent with them to enter. Do not leave a child to interact with the deer alone.
Capybaras are the other star of the visit. Their calm, unhurried manner makes for a different sort of animal encounter than feeding a lively deer. The grounds are also home to other animals at times, including donkeys, rabbits, and a tortoise. Still, set your expectations around the deer and capybaras: this is not a zoo with a broad range of species.
A clean, compact farm, not a full-day park
Bambi Land’s small size is both its strength and its limit. It is easy to get around, and families can fit the visit into a wider day in Yilan without committing to a long attraction. People often find that a brisk walk-through takes about an hour. Give yourself two or three hours if you want to feed the animals at a relaxed pace, take photos, browse the shop, and sit down for a snack.
Cleanliness is a notable part of the experience. The grounds are regularly described as tidy and comfortable, with little of the unpleasant smell you might worry about at an animal farm. That matters when you are bringing young children or planning to stay for a while. Staff also give visitors an explanation before they enter the interactive area, which helps set clear expectations for handling the animals.
You will not find a large menu of rides, exhibits, or other facilities here. Some people will see that as a sensible, focused layout; others will feel the park is too small for the price. I would treat Bambi Land as a short animal encounter, not as the main event of an entire day. If your family is happiest feeding animals and taking photos, its compact size can be a plus. If you need hours of varied activity, look elsewhere or pair it with another Yilan stop.

From the entrance to the feeding area
Bambi Land is at No. 285, Xiahu Road, in Dongshan Township, Yilan County. At the entrance, present your booking voucher to exchange it for a physical ticket. On busy days, people using reservation-free tickets may face a wait for that exchange, so avoid arriving just before closing if you can.
Once inside, follow the staff’s safety briefing and the posted rules into the interactive area. The feeding experience is included with admission, and the close distance is what makes the visit memorable. Keep food for the animals to the supplied feed, follow staff guidance, and help children approach calmly rather than rushing in. The park prohibits drones because they could startle the deer.
After the animal area, take time to look around before you leave. The farm has a gift shop with selected merchandise, and the small stamp activity is a nice extra for children who enjoy collecting keepsakes. It does not turn the park into a large attraction, but it gives a short visit a little more shape than feed, photo, exit.
Meimeizi Cafe and the shop
Meimeizi Cafe offers drinks and snacks, with a focus on photogenic presentation. It is a useful place to pause after the animal area, especially on a warm day. The café is not included in the standard ticket, and food prices can feel high to some visitors. Check any purchase minimum before ordering, and do not assume that a café spend can be applied to your admission.
The shop is another modest but pleasant stop. Its merchandise is selected for the farm, so you may find something more distinctive than a generic souvenir. If you like browsing, leave yourself time rather than squeezing the visit into the last few minutes before closing. Some ticket bundles add a deer headband, capybara phone grip, or soft-serve ice cream, which can be better value if you already want that item.
A two-ticket bundle may include a Starbucks voucher, but check the voucher’s terms before choosing it. One reported limitation is that a voucher may only be valid at certain Starbucks locations and may have an expiry date. A discount has little value if it is hard for you to use.
Is the ticket good value?
The advertised price starts at $5.99, but the cost depends on the package you choose. The standard ticket includes admission and animal feed. Some packages bundle two tickets with a Starbucks voucher, two admissions with soft serve, or an admission ticket with a themed accessory. Compare the add-ons with what you would genuinely buy; a bundle is not automatically a bargain just because it includes more.
A full-price ticket is reported at TWD 200, while concession tickets cost TWD 50 on site for seniors aged 65 and over and for people with a disability certificate plus one necessary companion. Bring supporting documents to qualify. Children aged 0 to 5 enter free, and discount tickets can be purchased at the venue.
Value comes down to how much you enjoy the central activity. If feeding the animals and taking photos are enough to make a short outing worthwhile, the included feed and manageable visit can justify the cost. If you measure value by the number of exhibits, the compact grounds may disappoint. I would book for the interaction, not for a long list of attractions.
Timing, transport, and practical rules
The farm is open from 10:00 to 17:00 Monday through Friday, and from 09:00 to 17:00 on Saturdays and Sundays. Last entry is 16:30. National holiday hours begin at 09:00, though opening times and holiday arrangements can change, so check the latest announcement before setting out. On holidays and consecutive holidays, aim to arrive before 15:00 to reduce the chance of a crowded visit.
There is a free parking lot about a three-minute walk from the entrance. The road leading to the farm is narrow, so take care if you are driving. The provided information does not specify public transport options, so check your route before leaving rather than assuming it will be a simple walk from a nearby stop.
A few rules affect what you can bring. Outside food and drinks are not allowed, nor are pets, except guide dogs with identification. Bottles, cans, firecrackers, laser pointers, and other items that could interfere with the visit are prohibited. Strollers and wheelchairs are not permitted in the interactive area, so anyone who needs them should consider this restriction when deciding whether the animal encounter will work for their party.
The voucher is valid for 180 days from booking confirmation and can be used within that period before expiry. Changes are generally allowed before redemption, with exceptions for certain types of bookings. You can cancel for a full refund before using the voucher; once redeemed or expired, it is no longer refundable.
Who should make time for Bambi Land?
This is a good fit for families who want a direct, manageable animal experience. The short walk-through, included feed, and staff guidance make it easier to plan than a sprawling park. Children can see the deer and capybaras up close, while adults can enjoy a café break and browse the shop without turning the outing into a full-day commitment.
Animal lovers who care about the condition of the grounds may appreciate the clean, well-kept setting. The park is presented as an animal-friendly specialty farm, and its safety briefing and rules are part of the visit. As with any close animal encounter, follow instructions and let the animals set the pace.
Skip it if you are looking for a large zoo, many different species, or an attraction that fills most of the day. Bambi Land’s best feature is also its narrow focus: feed the deer and capybaras, enjoy a few photos, then move on. For a short, family-friendly stop in Dongshan, that can be exactly enough.
Should you book Bambi Land?
Book Bambi Land if you and your family are keen to feed sika deer and capybaras in a clean, compact setting. Choose a package based on the add-on you actually want, and leave time for the café if it appeals. If your idea of good value depends on a large park with many exhibits, save your ticket money for another activity. The best visit here is a relaxed one, with realistic expectations and enough time to let the animals set the pace.
