Meet YouTube stars Dolce, Latte, Mocha, Soo-hyung, and Dal-nuna at the Otter Lounge — the only zoo in Korea where you can meet otters up close! They offer souvenirs (goods), food, and drinks, and you can even meet different otter families separately if needed.However, since the place is relatively small and doesn’t have many different animals or experiences, it might feel a bit limited if you expect a typical zoo.
Outside food is not allowed, and feeding the animals is prohibited. Due to the nature of the zoo, there may be some smells or noise, and the indoor space can feel warm since it is kept at 25–30°C.
