Zoolung Zoolung is part of a specialized chain of indoor animal parks in South Korea that focuses on small-to-medium-sized species rather than megafauna.
Zoolung Zoolung Gyeongju is an indoor animal theme park that emphasizes an immersive, walk-through experience where visitors can interact closely with small mammals, reptiles, and birds. Unlike traditional zoos, the facility is designed as a themed exploration route that winds through several distinct habitats, such as the 'Enchanted Forest' and 'Amazonia.' It houses a variety of species including fennec foxes, capybaras, toucans, and meerkats. The park focuses on an 'animal-friendly' philosophy, limiting direct physical contact to specific supervised zones to ensure animal welfare. It is primarily situated within the Gyeongju Expo Park complex. The environment is climate-controlled, making it an all-weather destination suitable for families. Staff-led programs facilitate feedings and educational talks throughout the day.
