Alpaca World Korea: How To Get There From Seoul & What You’ll See
Last Updated on December 4, 2025
Have you ever wanted to take an alpaca for a walk? Seeming to smile all the time, you can head to the Andes of Korea out in Gangwon-do and do just that at Alpaca World (알파카월드). More than alpacas though, this huge farm has birds, amphibians, deer, capybara, and so much more. If you want to take an adventure in Korea, have some fun with your kids, this is a spot to tag for you next daytrip from Seoul.
If you’ve got kids in Seoul and want to find some more spots to introduce them to animals and let them learn, be sure to check out the Aqua Planet Ilsan as well as the other aquariums around the county here. Another spot our little one has quite enjoyed is Zoolung Zoolung. Have fun while you’re in Korea!

What To Do
Alpaca World is a fun spot to check out if you want something different to do in Korea and of course if you love alpacas. Be aware that the park is on the side of a mountain so the paths are NOT flat. It is a lot of walking up and then down and then up and down again. This can be nice in the spring and the autumn, but I’m not so sure about in the heat of the summer or the frigid winter.
Incline aside, you actually stop so often to see different animal enclosures that you may not notice the incline so much. It’s not literal hiking, but good to know if you have people in your group that have difficulty with steep inclines. Wear comfortable shoes.
Walk With Alpacas
The highlight of any visit is to walk with the alpacas… which don’t really listen or follow anyone unless you have food in your hand. Remember that if you’re taking children because if they don’t want to be followed around, don’t let them hold the food.
You can walk with the alpacas for 15 minutes and while it seems like you could go a fair distance down the road and back in that time, as the staff will tell you, we didn’t get far at all. We ended up down in the grassy area just in front of where we got her and basically let her lead us… which she did just fine. It was the perfect time to get all of our happy fluffy alpaca selfies.
On a side note: The staff seemed very well aware of their alpacas and how much time they needed to rest or when they were done. This meant some people had to wait longer to get an alpaca that was ready, but I think every visitor will be okay with healthy happy animals.

Ride The Alpaca Safari Train
At first I thought this was just a ride for the kiddos or families with kids but honestly, with or without, you’ll enjoy this. Just get on the little train! Basically, you’ll hop on and get a cup of food to feed the alpacas as you are whisked around. The alpacas know you’re coming and as soon as the train begins to move, they head to the side to say hello and lick up that food. It was fun for all of us.
Feed Some Alpacas At The Alpaca Playground
Nearest to the entrance/exit is a grassy circle that has alpacas roaming around. If you get some food at the entrance, you can go in. This is where most people meet the alpacas for the first time. We checked them out but then went up and decided to feed these guys on our way out.
It worked well as everyone coming in from the shuttle bus heading here at the same time will stop here making it a bit busy, so head up and around and do it on the way out and you’ll have better odds of being alone.
Feed The Birds
Alpacas aren’t the only animals in Alpaca World though the name might suggest that. We got a big kick out of seeing the large birds and then heading into parakeet building to feed them.
Our daughter, like most kids, never passes up an opportunity to feed and hold animals. She LOVED this. Stop by the vending machine near the entrance to get bird food for W1,000. The birds will come a flying as soon as that little packet is ripped open so be prepared.
Visit The Other Animals
Alpacas and birds aren’t the only animals on the 360,000 square meter grounds. You can also visit “Rabbit Country”, see deer and donkeys as well as owls, eagles, and various amphibians. There are sheep, peacocks, and maybe a few more surprises. It’s a great spot not only to see the alpacas but to see so much more and have fun.
If you’re looking for a fun spot to introduce your child to animals where they are outside and surrounded by nature, check out Alpaca World in Korea. It’s a great adventure.
