Introduction
Gangneung Twin Animal Farm, located in Okgye-myeon, is the largest theme park and zoo in Gangneung. Visitors can see over 100 species of animals up close, including tigers, lions, black bears, and zebras. In addition to animals, the park offers various rides, a traditional folk museum, and a comic book room, making it a comprehensive entertainment space.
Tour Guide
The farm features two “Five-Senses Experience Halls” where visitors can see, touch, and interact with animals. It is open from 10 AM to 6 PM on both weekdays and weekends, with last entry at 5 PM. Children under 20 months enter free of charge. Admission includes a feed bucket for animal feeding experiences. Group discount packages are available, so group visitors are advised to call in advance before visiting.
Tips
Before entering, visitors must undergo a temperature check and complete a visitor log to prevent the spread of viruses. After purchasing tickets, visitors receive a feed container. They must also pass through a full-body UV sterilization booth (15 seconds) before entry. Upon entering, many animals greet visitors in the outdoor viewing area, where feeding is possible through designated feeding tubes. The indoor experience halls feature baby animals that visitors can touch and feed. After exploring both halls, visitors return outdoors where black bears and dogs can be seen. There are rides and a snack shop; ride tickets must be purchased separately. After enjoying the rides, visitors can move to the large animal outdoor enclosure to see tigers, lions, zebras, and guanacos (feeding is prohibited for tigers and lions). Beyond this area is a botanical garden with over 120 species of tropical plants arranged like a jungle. There are also multiple photo zones throughout the park for memorable experiences.
