Looking for an easy family day trip from Seoul, we drove out to Anseong Farmland with a friend’s family — and it turned into one of those relaxed, satisfying days out. About an hour south of Seoul, it’s one of the largest hands-on animal farms in the greater Seoul area, where kids can pet and feed the animals up close. It isn’t a slick modern theme park — it has more of a charming, old-school countryside-fair vibe, and honestly that’s part of the appeal.
It’s run by Nonghyup (NH), Korea’s national agricultural cooperative, so it feels less like a commercial attraction and more like a real working farm built for touching and learning about animals and the countryside — which is why there are actual cattle, dairy cows and beehives here. It’s so big you ride a mini-tractor train to get around, and between the animals, rides, meadows and food it easily fills a half-day. Here’s everything you need: tickets, parking and honest tips.
| Place | Anseong Farmland (run by Nonghyup / NH) |

It’s huge, so it helps to glance at the map and plan a loop before you start. (Official English guide map below.)

Anseong Farmland is in Gongdo-eup, Anseong — about an hour’s drive south of Seoul. Parking is free and the lot is large, so it’s low-stress. Because the grounds are so big, stroller rental is worth it if you have little ones. A car is much easier than public transport here, so it’s a great pick if you have a rental. On busy weekend mornings it fills up, so aim to arrive early.
Tickets
Tickets are split into weekday and weekend/holiday, and priced with or without horse riding. Prices change, so check the official site (Info → Admission) — and booking online (Yanolja or the official site) is often cheaper than at the gate.
Feeding the Animals — the Kids’ Favorite
Sheep, black sheep, peacocks, donkeys, pigs, ducks, chickens, tortoises, cattle — you can see a wide range of animals up close. The best part for us: you can pet and feed the baby lambs and goats right in front of you, which the kids loved. Buy feed (carrots/hay) on site, and you can walk right among the free-roaming sheep. There are also cute European-style village buildings and play sculptures dotted around.
Rides: Mini-Tractor Train, Karts & E-Bikes
It’s big enough that a mini-tractor train loops the grounds, and there are karts and e-bikes too. Our son loved the kart ride, and renting e-bikes to loop the outer edge as a family was breezy and fun. (Most rides — mini-tractor, karts, e-bikes, horse riding — cost extra.)
The Outdoor Animal Show (Our Highlight)
The thing we remember most is the outdoor animal show near the end — genuinely cute and funny, kids and adults were all laughing. Shows and activities run on set times, so check the day’s schedule when you arrive and plan your route around it.
Horse Riding & the Dog Park
There’s a separate horse-riding area (riding closes earlier than the park and pauses over lunch — call 031-8053-7976 to check), plus a dedicated dog park called Paradise Dog. Note that pets may not be allowed in the animal-farm zones, so confirm before you go.
The Meadow & Photo Spots — Autumn Pink Muhly
Deeper in, a wide meadow opens up with grazing dairy cows. In autumn the pink muhly and cosmos fields are a well-known photo spot (spring brings tulips and canola, early summer the green rye field). The European-style village and open fields photograph beautifully — it’s even used as a filming location. Just note that in very early spring the fields may still be bare.
Food & Cafés
There’s plenty to eat around the entrance and inside — a cheese-pizza spot, bakery, buffet restaurant, food house, a milk café and a convenience store — so it’s easy to break for snacks, meals and rest.
Who It’s For
✅ Great for
- Families with kids — feeding animals, karts, play areas
- Travelers wanting an easy day trip from Seoul by car
- Anyone after wide meadows and autumn pink-muhly photos
❌ Keep in mind
- Public-transport-only travelers (a car is much easier)
- Little shade — summer needs hats, water, sun protection
- Off-season, the meadows can look bare
The Verdict
Three things stuck with us — looping the outer grounds on e-bikes, the kart ride with our son, and that outdoor animal show. It’s not fancy, but the warm, old-school charm plus real hands-on animals, rides, meadows and food made for a full, easy day. For families living in Korea or road-tripping from Seoul, it’s an easy recommend — just mind the show and indoor-hall times.
