The Taiwan Ant Ecological Museum is the culmination of over a decade of large-scale breeding experience and accumulated knowledge about ants. The museum houses nearly fifty species of native Taiwanese ants and transforms related knowledge into interactive exhibits, allowing visitors to not only observe these native Taiwanese species up close and enjoy the pleasure of observation, but also to gain a more accurate and complete understanding of ants.
The Taiwan Ant Eco-Museum embodies the importance of biodiversity and the vital value of every life form within its environment. Through our tank construction technology and various aquascaping styles, visitors can experience the micro-ecosystem of ants from different perspectives, even those unseen in the wild, creating precious memories with family, friends, or children.

Ant Feeding Show
Witness the breathtaking teamwork of an ant army through its sophisticated social division of labor on a giant screen using high-resolution giant screen projection. We employ high-resolution real-time projection technology to magnify the entire "hunting battlefield" hundreds of times and project it onto a giant screen.
