What Is Zoolung Zoolung

A petting zoo of sorts with more than just your average farm animals, Zoolung Zoolung is great for children of almost all ages. There were even some teenage couples roaming around and I sure got into it, so I think it could be said that this is fun for all ages. Staff members are stationed in almost every corner ready to help you feed, caress or hold and learn about the animals in the enclosures. The staff members are knowledgeable and you can find children cornering them with questions all over the place.

While the info is provided in Korean, I found most of the staff members did try to approach me and explain in English if they could and I much appreciated that rather than seeing them try to thrust an animal at me with no words.

What To See & Do

From furry friends, recognizable and not so recognizable, like the guinea pig and the sugar glider to the sloth and the ant eater there are also toucans, parrots, and feathered friends too. Lizards, snakes and a hatchery where you can see chicks literally hatching in front of you. We saw three hatch before our eyes and boy was that so cool for all of us. My husband really got into that never having seen a chick hatch before. The circle of life was before us and it was beautiful.

The animals seem very well cared for and the staff members seem to know the animals’ individual personalities too. Hamsters and hedgehogs and just so so much more and in all of the rooms are very friendly staff members that go out of their way to make sure that every child and child in all of us gets to pet or hold at least one of the animals in each room.

Aside from the rooms, there are also staff members walking around with different animals and every so often on a schedule there are special shows in a couple different locations. The staff members tried to make it as educational as possible and answered ALL of the many many questions the kids had to ask and fed them even more information to boot.

Near the end, if the animals weren’t enough or if the moms and dads need to chill out in the cafe area, there’s also a giant whale play area. The little ones take off their shoes and can slide, play with balls or blocks or any number of other things while some cafe treats are enjoyed by anyone not slipping and sliding around. There is also a wall lined with four massage chairs which you could see many parents taking advantage of as they sit perfectly able to keep an eye on the little ones in the play area.
