    Very big space to walk in park, the different routes on the map are also marked on the street so its very easy to follow. Due to corona every houses or places which you can see something inside are closed. The food in the park is not too expensive but we saw many picknick people who had and ate at the grass areas in the park.

    The zoo is huge with lots of animals. Not all enclosures were occupied at the moment. From the metro it's best to take the chairlift to the zoo and then the chairlift in the zoo again to get to the highest point. From there it's a pleasant walk downhill. It's the longest chairlift I've ever ridden. Chairlift and zoo are included in the Discover Seoul Pass.

    My 6 year old’s favorite place. People say they want to go to the Seoul Zoo every week, but since it takes 4 hours to go once, you have to make up your mind to go there. There are various zoos in Korea, and the area near Seoul-Gyeonggi has a variety of animals and a large area, so there is a lot to see. Although the environment of the animals' cages has improved a lot compared to when I was young, I can often see animals moving back and forth from one place to another. Children find it fascinating to see such animals, but it certainly makes adults think a lot. “Couldn’t the welfare of animals be a little better?” I've also been to Cheongju Zoo recently, which has received positive responses, and some of the cages have an environment as good as Cheongju Zoo. It is definitely a place worth seeing.

    (Translated by Google) It's really good... winter kids... It is unfortunate that other animals are cold, but it is good to go with kids because it is not an electric bus in the middle. Receive a discount with Zero Pay and the admission fee is 3,500 won per person.. (Original) 완전 좋아요..역시 겨울애들.. 다른동물은 추워서 아쉽지만 중간중간 전기버스 않다니니 애들하고 다니기 좋음. 제로페이로 할인 받아 입장료 1인 3,500원..

  • 4/5 Kanchan P. 3 months ago on Google • 213 reviews New
    As per its name; it is GRAND. I visited the zoo with my husband and 18 months old baby and had a wonderful experience here with the Sky-lift, and elephant train. Although I didn't have much time to explore the zoo; only did tiger watching which was an experience for me. FACTS OR SUGGESTIONS 1. Parking is not free but it would depend on the time and the amount of ticket purchased. 2. Elephant train ticket is cheap that is 2000 KRW per person for one way. But you could buy another ticket on the spot ( near the elephant stop) for coming back too. 3. Sky-lift also has a ticket for going up or going down. They are very safe even to go with your infants, toddlers kids, or old age people. Detailed information could be provided on the information desk as well. 4. For kids, parents can rent strollers inside the zoo at the entrance gate which is buy-the-way not free but they are at affordable prices. 5. The zoo is huge and can not be covered on foot by normal people. Inside the zoo, there is a free bus service at distances. 6. Inside the zoo, there are gs and cu or gift shop to have some snacks or water but not many offcourse.

    quite huge zoo.. you have to walk around the area.. the tropical greenhouse is a nice place to warm yourself while winter.. and try to get down by the skylift after you finish with the animal seeing, especially in autumn because the view is great.. the trees whill be in various pretty colors.. make sure that you bring umbrella or hat when summer, it will be very hot

  • 5/5 Kayla S. 4 years ago on Google • 112 reviews
    Seoul zoo was very fun! Lots of places to walk and lots of animals to see. I spent about 3 hours here and that was going pretty fast to be able to go to the theme park afterwards. Great place to bring your children and not that hard to get to the train.

    Beautiful zoo. Reasonable admission charge. Quite large and you will spend most of the day here. Easily reached via subway. Lots of washrooms and places to buy snacks. Lots of walking so I would recommend a good pair of shoes and to buy tickets for the chair lift and elephant train for the scenery and to cut down on some of the walking. There's a little bit of English descriptions for the animals but I found them limited.

  • 5/5 송용섭 1 month ago on Google • 57 reviews New
    I can't see the animals because they sleep during the day.

  • 5/5 Muhammad J. 4 years ago on Google • 53 reviews
    Its awsome place to visit especially for children. The ticket price is 5000 won. There is elephant train which takes us to the entrance door of zoo. Variety of animals were found in the zoo.

  • 4/5 Dominik S. G. 7 months ago on Google • 52 reviews
    A very nice zoo. The enclosures are usually very animal-friendly. Attention, if you want to visit the entire zoo you have to plan a day.

  • 5/5 Maxim P. 5 years ago on Google • 36 reviews
    A must place to visit in Seoul, especially if you have kids with you. You may choose to ride a a small wagon train or a Very nice cable bench ride to the zoo from the entry point. The entrance fee is about 10 dollars for an adult and 8 dollars per teenager, kids go in for a 4 dollar ticket price. It is very large, clean, lots of different animals, birds here. There are big elephants and giraffes here as well.

  • 5/5 JD L. 4 years ago on Google • 34 reviews
    The zoo has many animals and a smooth cable car ride that gives you an aerial view of all the animals.

  • 5/5 Nakiry H. 5 years ago on Google • 27 reviews
    Beautiful, so many animals and big habitats, not too close to stress each animal but close enough to have a nice walk between each precious creature

    A nice and large zoo that had seen many improvements. Maybe in the future, there could be more improvements to make the park more natural for the animals. Overall a nice zoo in Korea.

  • 3/5 Joel A. 2 years ago on Google
    The zoo was alright. It has changed a ton over the past 10 years. This is not a good change either. The flower garden that was at the entrance to the zoo is no longer there. It has been replaced by a huge tiger statue. That is strike one. Many of the exhibits are under construction, so there are not too many animals to see - strike two. A good handful of the exhibits are outright closed - strike three. I understand this could be due to the pandemic and some of those exhibits that are closed are indoor ones. That is understandable; however, maybe they could post this information up on their website? This could save people time while they are at the zoo. Overall the animals seemed to be very lethargic and honestly a little pathetic. The magic has disappeared from this place. Hopefully once this pandemic blows over the zoo will get it's magic back.

    Been here before, its a lovely little zoo but theres lots of construction at the moment.

  • 1/5 Chris K. 10 months ago on Google
    I visited here last Friday, and I was hoping to see some tigers and some more wild animals. But there were no tigers, foxes, bears etc. There should have been some information regarding some animals that won't be available to see at the front gate, not just in front of the animals cage.

  • 5/5 Megan C. 3 years ago on Google
    I have loved watching Seoul Zoo rennovate and upgrade a lot of their enclosures through the years. When I first visited in 2015 I found the zoo depressing and promised I wouldn't visit again but after having my daughter and returning years later I can see how much work they have put in to improvements and animal enrichment. They are also an accredited zoo now so bravo Seoul Grand Park Zoo! The zoo is very big so be prepared to spend the day walking around and wear comfortable shoes!

    (Translated by Google) Most of the animals were absent because it was winter. Representative of the zoo No giraffe, elephant, or lion.

👍👍 I went to see a tiger with my grandchild. The difference from when I took my kids in the past is that the trees are forming a forest. I was feeling frustrated because of the coronavirus, but my heart was full after looking around the large park. ~~~ Very Good.
