Taipei (CNA) — Chinese Culture University is hosting the '2026 Youth Children's Festival,' creating a limited-time large-scale theme park on campus. The event combines ball pits, a human claw machine, inflatable slides, immersive experiences, and street performances, inviting students and the public to rediscover their inner child.
According to a press release from PCCU, the event is co-organized by the Office of Student Affairs and the Student Association. With the core concept of 'surprises everywhere on campus,' amusement facilities and performances are scattered across the grounds to create an exploratory park experience. The festival runs until the 30th and uses a voucher system, with tickets priced at 100 TWD.
Highlights include 'Tong-Le Playground,' which reimagines childhood games in innovative ways. For example, a large ball pit has been set up in the Dayi Building, while an upgraded 'human claw machine'—a life-sized interactive version of the traditional game—is featured at Baihua Pond Square. Inflatable slides and classic electronic game machines are also available.
In terms of arts and culture, the university stated that street performers will appear naturally around corners and walkways without a fixed stage. On the evening of the 29th, the 'Childhood Carnival Night' will feature performances by the a cappella group 'The Wanted' and the well-known children's entertainer 'Watermelon Brother.' The event aims to boost campus cohesion through creativity and shared memories.
