The Tainan City Government spent NT$430 million to build the nation's one and only fossil theme park, Tainan City Zuojhen Fossil Park. The park opened on May 12 and attracted a large crowd. The park estimates over 10,000 people visited on opening day, which was four times the park's capacity. Although park workers and police were on hand to help to direct the crowd, there were still many complaints.
A long queue of people are waiting to get into the park. There are also long lines inside the park where anything is sold and outside attractions. Tainan City Zuojhen Fossil Park opened on Mother's Day with free admission to city residents. However, park officials did not expect a crowd of over 10,000, which was more than double the local population of 4,700 and four times the capacity of the park.
Few places in Zuojhen are able to draw such a huge crowd anymore. There was traffic congestion and few available parking spaces around here. There are definitely areas where they need to improve. It's a pity they couldn't do better.
As people waited in line to get into the park, others were stuck in a parking queue several kilometers long for up to three hours. In response to a torrent of complaints about the insufficient parking, park officials apologized for any inconvenience.
The (park) has a capacity of around 2,500 people. On the morning (of the 12th), we got probably over 10,000 visitors. This was way over capacity.
The Tainan City Government spent NT$430 million on the complex, which is home to Taiwan's only fossil theme park and supposedly the island's largest collection of fossils. Park officials say opening day was a learning experience and they will explore expanding the park's parking facilities or running shuttle buses in the future.

排隊進場的民眾，繞了門口好幾圈，進到園區，不管是買園遊會的東西、還是玩遊樂設施，仍得繼續排隊。這裡是台南左鎮的化石園區，選在週日母親節這天開放，主打台南市民免費入場，但園方沒預料到人潮爆滿，小小園區，擠進上萬人，比當地的總人口數4千7百多人還多出一倍。
遊客表示：「在左鎮這邊已經很少會有這麼熱鬧的地方，可是我發現來的時候有塞車，然後周邊沒有很好的停車位，一個完整的配套措施，我是覺得這是美中不足，很可惜的地方。」
不只人潮，連車子也綿延好幾公里，民眾抱怨停車場不足，還有人一度塞在車陣三個小時。園方表示，沒料到進場超過萬人，是園內能消化人數的4倍，造成困擾真的很抱歉。
台南市文化局長 葉澤山表示：「在同時的館(園區)裡面的人數，可以大概是2千5百人，來的民眾大概在(12號)早上，已經大概超過1萬人次，所以其實超過我們很大的量。」
左鎮化石園區是市政府斥資4.3億元打造的國內唯一化石主題園區，號稱是全台本土化石館藏最多的博物館，園方表示這次爆量的人潮會當作借鏡，也會跟想辦法開拓周邊停車場或規劃接駁車方式來因應，避免再發生類似狀況
