Taipei Zoo Station on the Taipei Metro Wenhu Line sits in Wanxing Village, Wenshan District, Taipei City, and connects to Muzha Zoo and the Maokong Gondola's Taipei Zoo Station. From the station you can enter the zoo directly or board the gondola, and tapping an EasyCard on the reader removes the need to buy a separate ticket. The station opened on March 28, 1996 as a terminus of the Wenhu Line and operates from 6 a.m. to midnight. It has lockers, escalators, elevators and stairs, but the walk from Exit 2 to the gondola boarding area takes about five minutes.
