I'm so excited to hear this is happening again! I'm having a busy summer with kids and home-based business but wanted to share this. Thank goodness the site is bilingual. Go take a look at the shows, or take part in the workshops! For kids, adults, or you and your kids together. You will have to be quick to register as it opened up at the end of June!!

World of Chocolate Exhibit at the Taipei Science Museum
This exhibit runs from July 3rd until September 26th. Tickets are $200 per person, plus $100 per DIY make your own chocolate participant.
Until July 2nd, you can buy three tickets for $400 at 7-11, Family Mart and Hi-Life stores island-wide. You want to buy the 巧克力奇幻世界票 3張400元 (chocolate exhibit 3 tickets for $400).
There are models made from chocolate, information on the history and science of chocolate, and a DIY activity.
Exhibit Information is currently only in Chinese.
Museum Information is in several languages.
**July 5th: I took my two kids (ages 6 and 4) to this exhibit today. Basically, it is like an art exhibit where you can see a lot of sculptures. All information is in Chinese. My kids probably got something out of it, but not 400NT worth. I tried to make it worthwhile by teaching them how to read some Chinese characters, and to talk about the Great Wall of China, the Terrecota Warriors, and why truffles are so expensive. I do not recommend the DIY activity. For 100NT, kids get to pour melted chocolate into a round piece of plastic. There was no explanation of what they were doing and they didn't get to do anything much at all. And, be warned, the sales area at the end is like a giant chocolate and book market.

2010 International Children's Folklore & Folkgame Festival, Ilan
The 2010 International Children's Folklore and Folkgame Festival should be one of the highlights of a child-oriented summer.
The event will run from July 3rd to August 15th at Dongshan River Forest Park.
From the TRA site (above):
In order to celebrate the arrival of 2010 International Children's Folklore & Folkgame Festival, Shangrila Boutique Hotel recently has introduced an exclusive “I Love Children’s Folklore and Folkgame” accommodation package promotion. This accommodation package starting from NT$1,900 per person includes one night at a delicate suite, breakfast, Lanyang-flavored dinner, Children's Folklore & Folkgame Festival entrance tickets, DIY Aiyu making activity, free bike rental service, hot spring SPA, home theatre and other recreational facilities. For further details, please welcome to contact Shangrila Boutique Hotel directly. (Photo provided by Shangrila Boutique Hotel)
Here is an interesting article about the festival and the organisers.
I am still trying to find the official website for the event lists etc. Any readers who might have more information, please leave a link in a comment!
**We made to the event today (August 12th). It is $250 per adult, preschoolers free, kids $150. Car parking $50. Storage of large items $100, lockers $50.
We spent NINE HOURS there, and even though we did a couple of extra things (boat ride $200 for three of us, DIY activity $50 each, bought food and drink), you really don't need to spend anything else if you take a picnic with you. The water area is huge, and suitable for all ages. There is a really cool indoor water area that my son described as a RAIN STORM, lots of water spraying and paddling and bouncing around, plus very loud music suitable for a party of this size. There are shows going all day long. We saw a wonderful Bolivian group, so good that I bought their CD, and we didn't even get to watch the shows on the big stage right at the end of the park, past the water area. There is a magic hall, which we went into twice, hands-on toy area (indoor), a wonderful indoor playarea with climbing frame, ballpool etc, puzzle and game area, 22km of riverside track, bikes for hire, a suspension bridge, lots of grassy area, food and drink for sale, ferry to take, either a round trip or get off and visit the center for traditional toys and arts (need to buy entrance ticket for that)... it was really busy even on a Monday, so I imagine weekends are crazy. Get there early, enjoy the water and get out of the sun for the middle of the day. We will definitely be back!
