Jeonju Zoo 전주동물원
Jeonju · Deokjin, Jeonbuk Univ. & Palbok · Fun & activities
Jeonju Zoo is a city zoo with a friendly, low-key feel, and the entry price is small enough that it is ideal for a flexible half-day with kids. Animals include big cats, primates, birds and farm creatures, and the neighboring Dreamland amusement park has rides for younger children. In spring, cherry blossoms add to the scenery.
The zoo is not a world-class facility, so treat it as a simple family outing. Opening times and prices may change. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a hat.
The zoo is on the northern side of Jeonju, about 25 minutes from the Hanok Village by taxi or bus. It shares a site with Dreamland. (Show a driver: 전주동물원)
