Jeonju Dreamland with Kids — The Small Amusement Park Inside Jeonju Zoo: No Day Pass, Just 1-, 3- or 5-Ride Tickets
Our Jeonju Dreamland day with the kids 🎡
After a full loop of Jeonju Zoo,
we headed on to Dreamland,
tucked inside the zoo grounds.

It’s a small amusement park
run together with the zoo.
To cut to the chase,
for kids in the early grades
of elementary school,
it was a really satisfying place to play,
and it’s perfect for the time left after the zoo.

🎢 Small, not-so-scary rides
The rides inside
are a bit smaller and less scary
than the ones at the big amusement parks
we all know.
The haunted house has the same feel.

✈️ Round and round in a plane
There’s also a ride
where airplane-shaped seats
spin round and round
as they rise.

⛵ The Viking ship and the Ferris wheel
There’s a Viking ship, too.
It swings right up into the sky!

From inside the Ferris wheel,
you look down over
the zoo’s woods and the city.

According to the Korea Tourism Organization,
there are about 12 rides,
including the Cheongnyong (Blue Dragon) coaster,
the Viking, the Ferris wheel and the Super Rider.
🎟 Ride bundles instead of a day pass
Dreamland has
no separate admission fee.
You just buy tickets for the rides you want.
There’s no day pass, either.
Instead, you buy ride tickets
in bundles of 1, 3 or 5 rides.
And since they’re really cheap,
riding everything
didn’t look like a problem at all.
Instead of a day pass,
buy 1-, 3- or 5-ride bundles
for just what you'll ride
😅 The downside
The rides are pitched at younger kids,
so if you want something really thrilling,
you may be a little disappointed.
If your kid is expecting
a big roller coaster,
it’s worth telling them beforehand.

👍 This post is for you if…
✔ You’re looking for somewhere
to take the kids after the zoo
✔ You want not-so-scary rides
for lower-elementary kids
✔ You’d rather pay for just the rides you want
than for a day pass
Small, not too scary,
and the bundles are cheap enough to ride everything.
For kids up to the early elementary grades, it’s plenty of fun!
