Pingtung Offers Children Free Crayon Shin-chan Exhibition Visits This Weekend

Pingtung County is offering children a free visit to its Crayon Shin-chan interactive exhibition during the first weekend of the new school year.

On Sept. 5 and 6, children in sixth grade or below can enter the “Crayon Shin-chan: Time and Space Adventure” exhibition without charge by showing identification such as a health insurance card or student ID. The offer applies to children from outside Pingtung as well. Each parent may accompany up to two eligible children, but accompanying adults must buy tickets.

The county’s outdoor summer carnival ended on Aug. 30 after attracting more than one million visits since opening on July 4. Officials said the new promotion aims to continue the festival’s family-oriented atmosphere as children return to school.

The exhibition uses immersive scenes, interactive tasks and photo spots to recreate moments from the film. It also includes a classroom modeled on Shin-chan’s world, along with a shop selling themed goods, shaped cakes and summer snacks.

The exhibition, together with large outdoor Crayon Shin-chan and Shiro inflatables, will continue through Oct. 11. It opens from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. and closes on Wednesdays. Organizers describe the Pingtung presentation as the Taiwan tour’s final stop, its largest venue and one incorporating local features.
