There have always been hopes and dreams in Seoul Zoo.

  • There have always been hopes and dreams in Seoul Zoo.
It has been said that Seoul Zoo is the greatest sanctuary of natural education.
  • Established in 1984 for the purpose of creating a sanctuary of natural education for various animal and botanical researches, it also acts as a place for citizens to enjoy their leisure time in a healthy way with 77 species of animals in a 196,000㎡ area. Seoul Grand Park Zoo carries out the breeding, displaying and maintenance of animals and holds a variety of events (such as the Flamingo Show, Dolphin Show and presentations about animals) all year.
