1
Admission to 羅東林業文化園區 (Luodong Forestry Culture Park) is free. The current official baseline for the outdoor grounds is 08:00–17:00 daily; parking, food and some experiences cost extra.
2
An open park does not mean every hall is open. Halls have grouped closure days, and official pages differ between 13:30 and 14:00 for some afternoon openings, so check before leaving.
3
Luodong Forestry Culture Park is the current public name. 羅東林場 (Luodong Forestry Station) is its historic and registered cultural-landscape name; both refer to the same core site.
