    Really nice location. In the middle of small green mountains. Really calm and refreshing place. Recommend to go there.

    I bought a ticket for the zoo and a lift as a package and went there cheaply. It was easy to see because the zoo was quiet.

    Always great to visit with my children. some more restaurants are available in the park, you can have some street foods like sausages and chicken skewers. Need to secure ~30min. to park your car if you visit by your own car.

    Scenery was nice but the enclosures were small. Some of the animals were injured, but there were signs stating that they were being adequately cared for. Admission was cheap enough and the sky lift was cool.

  • 5/5 Jeremy 11 months ago on Google • 74 reviews
    So many things to see and do at such a reasonable cost. It's definitely worth paying the extra cost to take the cable car ride to and from the front gates...its a long walk and the cable car ride is fun. Lots of animals can be viewed outdoors and the Insectarium houses some very interesting "Creepy Crawlies". Lots of restrooms and delicious food stalls as well!

    Yes this place is huge. Be prepared to wear a comfort sneakers and clothing. This huge place is a combination of flat and high grounds... Must try is the cable car. There are 2 stations - short and much longer route. If you dont have the stomach for high ground or have acrophobia, just opt for the first route... those with the balls, yes, go for both... the experience really exhilarating especially when you only have a bar (like the one at ski resort) preventing you from falling off your seat! But its quite relaxing ( 😑😑😑) once you realized that you will actually fall on a safety net should you slipped-off from your seat... There’s also a big amusement park (with additional fee) that will certainly captivate joy and fun for children and children-alike!

    We went during the week and it wasn't very busy. You need to take the "elephant train" to get to the zoo, otherwise you'll have to walk a long way from the parking lot. Most of the exhibits were open but there were a few that weren't open. It's a great place to take young kids.

  • 5/5 Punyapat S. 7 months ago on Google • 45 reviews
    Overall great. The place is huge. If you enjoy walking, this is the place. One downside though, I don't see a lot of animals or maybe they are scattered all over the place, not sure.

    Parking takes FOREVER to get in! If you come by car on a weekend, be prepared to sit in line and wait for parking for about 30-45 minutes or more... I guess because Seoul Land shares the same area is too overcrowded, but idk. Anyway, zoo was big and lots to see. You need at least a full day, like 7-8 hours to get it all in. It was SUPER crowded on a Sunday when we went, despite COVID. Don’t do the gondola ride...not worth the price. Some of the indoor exhibits were closed due to COVID but mostly everything was open. Not many food options other than corn dogs or convenience store food so maybe bring a lunch.

    I have visited many zoos around the world and this one is one of my favorites, because the enclosures seem to be large enough for most animals. I can recommend spending a day here!

  • 3/5 Dimitri P. 2 years ago on Google
    Delightful, very big be prepared to walk alot. Very hot but there are water taps all over so you will not get heat stroke. Attendant at the gate speaks good English, so I would be a problem getting tickets. I would suggest brink a picnic blanket as there are a lot of areas to just relax on the grass in-between walks.

  • 5/5 김정곤 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Alvin C. 2 years ago on Google
    Very big. Expect a lot of walking. Some of the enclosures are empty while some are just too small for some of the animals...

  • 5/5 Nate N. 2 years ago on Google
    First class place with a lot of cool animals! Thing I found interesting was that there were lots of animals in each enclosure. (E.g. 5 lions, 🦁, +20 gazelles, and lots of animals in each enclosure) We went in the dead of winter and there were still some animals to see. Would Probably be the most fun in the spring or summer!

    Definitely needs more time because it's big and when you have kids you'll stop walking every minute to check on them and give them what they need but I loved the zoo. it has cable cars 🚡

    It is a very nice place but unfortunately the birds area was closed and there us big gab between us and animals.

  • 1/5 Vividplus 1 year ago on Google
    Bad experience to visit during winter period. Even you need to tear your own entrance tickets and the staff just playing her phone 🥲. A lot of vendor machines breakdown cannot buy snacks. Most of animal exhibitions 80% closed for winter / renovation.

    We came especially to see lesser panda and saw no panda… it was closed, the same as many other like tigers, capibara etc. Feel scamed as there were no information on the website. Waste of time. I’m so angry about that…

  • 5/5 eunsil L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I pre-booked with the zoo admission ticket, but the ticket booth right from the parking lot is where only elephant trains and lifts are exchanged, so you can go to the zoo and take a ticket with an unmanned ticket machine. On the way from the parking lot to the entrance to the zoo, it was easy to walk by passing the reservoir, so I think it is worth walking. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes. At the entrance of the zoo, adults entered after checking the fever~ It was nice that the zoo was bigger than I thought, and there were interesting things to see according to the theme. (Original) 동물원 입장권으로 사전예매 하고 갔는데, 주차장에서 바로 보이는 매표소는 코끼리 열차와 리프트만 교환되는 곳이라 티켓은 동물원까지 가서 무인발권기로 뽑을 수 있는데 몰라서 발권기 찾느라 조금 헤맨 ㅠ 주차장에서 동물원 입구까지 가는 길에 저수지를 지나가며 걷기 좋게 되어 있어서 걸을만 한 것 같아요. 대략 10분~15분 정도 걸려요. 동물원 입구에서 성인은 발열체크 후 입장했어요~ 생각보다 동물원도 크고 테마에 따라 재미있게 볼거리도 설치되어 있어서 좋았어요 ㅎ

    (Translated by Google) Kids like tigers are nocturnal, so I recommend that you do not look at them and see them later. A lot of people take the lift in the morning, but it's pretty good to take the lift at sunset, so start looking at the front door and go down the tiger and leopard bogu lift at the end. It's not so uphill, so it's not hard when you go up. And be sure to bring a lunch box... (Original) 호랑이 같은 애들은 야행성이라서 첨부터 보지 마시고 나중에 보는 거 추천해요. 많이들 오전에 리프트를 타는데 해 질때쯤 리프트 타는 것도 예쁘니까 정문에서 구경 시작해서 마지막에 호랑이랑 표범 보구 리프트 타고 내려가세요. 그렇게 오르막도 아니어서 올라갈 때 안 힘들어요. 그리고 꼭 도시락 싸오세요..
