The Miramar Entertainment Park (美麗華百樂園) is a shopping mall in the Dazhi area of Taipei, Taiwan. The department store is notable for its 70 m tall Ferris wheel on its rooftop, which is the second largest Ferris wheel in diameter in Taiwan, after the one in Janfusan World, which is 88 m in diameter. The Miramar Ferris wheel was the tallest in Taiwan as it is attached onto a roof, having a combined height of 100 meters; however, that honour was superseded by the Dream Mall Ferris wheel in Kaoshiung, which opens in May 2007.

The department store also contains an IMAX theatre, which is the only IMAX theatre showing commercial films in Taiwan. With dimensions 28m × 21m, its movie screen is the largest in Asia for showing commercial films.

The future Neihu Line (TRTS) of the Taipei Rapid Transit System will have a station (Jiannan Rd. Station) next to the department store.
