Which zoos are the best in Korea? How do Korean zoos compare to zoos in your own country?

Seoul Grand Park is a great zoo. Unless the zoo that you normally frequent in your home country is world renowned, then I think Seoul's zoo will impress. It won't make any best zoos list, but it's definitely no slouch either.

Yeah, Grand Park's zoo seemed pretty cool. Alas, my school paid the entrance fee for us all to go there only to have us spend 20 minutes at the pathetic excuse for botanical gardens on the premises, so I only saw it in passing. My kids were significantly more interested in the lions than the rhododendrons, needless to say.

I'm from San Diego. We have a world class zoo. I still want to check out the zoos here though.

I would happily see (and possibly aid) the lynching of the owners of Cheongju zoo! Small cages that have no grass and only concrete for tigers, who pace side to side in a mental daze. Most animals kept alone, so they feel lost and depressed (yes animals do get depressed). What makes it worse is that the zoo is not properly supervised, i saw a group of men trying to impress their children by winding the tigers up so they growled, by screaming at them and making them feel vulnerable. The place should be shut down.

I grew-up around and worked at the North Carolina Zoological Park. Perhaps I'm spoiled being around a world class zoo all my life but I find Korean zoos to be absolutely disgusting.

Save your money and go to the aquarium.

Seoul zoo is pretty good, but the moronic behaviour of some of the locals is something else entirely. I just find it so frustrating to see adults feeding chocolates and potato chips to the animals, whilst everyone stands around cheering like demented halfwits.

Having seen how Koreans treat animals in general, I'd guess that their Zoos would be pretty abhorrent.
