Hidden gem of Seoul: Samoyed Park in the alleys of Hongdae
#2024TravelReview
If you also love dogs, or have been to Seoul many times and don’t know where else to go, then here is a super cute itinerary recommended for you! Located in the alleys of Hongdae, Winters Village is a paradise full of Samoyeds that will definitely make you melt.
Tickets are 12,000 won per person. There will be a simple introduction and instructions in Korean, English and Japanese before entering, and there is a limit on the number of people allowed to attend each show. The venue is divided into the first floor and the second floor, and you can choose your favorite area. When you first enter, the clerk will distribute some dry dog food and let you interact with the Samoyeds. Then you will have some free time where you can play with the dogs, take photos, or just leisurely enjoy spending time with them.
Although some people have commented online that the dogs here are lazy and don’t pay much attention to people, my experience that day was that the dogs would stay quietly and let you pet them, which was super therapeutic! What’s more, the number of Samoyeds in the venue is surprisingly large. You usually don’t see such a scene on the street. It’s really healing to be surrounded by so many Samoyeds at once.
* There are three fixed rest times in the store every day, namely 14:50-15:10, 17:20-17:40 and 19:30-19:50, during which the dogs will take a short rest. So when planning your trip, remember to avoid these periods so that you can have more fun!
