Jeju Folk Village 제주민속촌

To me, this is a place for me and my kids to understand how the people live in Jeju during old times, their house architecture, culture, and ways of living. As is on December, it's very cool with strong winds, there're toilet near entrance and better go before entering to walk further into the village area. Historically sites for kids educational. Might be boring for some but good for my families.

Jeju Folk Village is a nice place to learn about traditional Jeju culture and history. The village is well preserved, with beautiful traditional houses and peaceful surroundings. It’s a good place for a slow walk and taking photos.

Don't waste your $. About 50 stone houses with thatched roofs. Same, same, but different signs, different sizes. Maybe for Koreans, but a rip for foreign tourists. I asked for my $ back, and got it without sn argument.

I don't normally review places but there is a huge problem with the village, the un aceptable treatment of the animals, came here for a few hours and noticed the animals in captivity. They are poorly kept in small cages/ pens which provide so little space for the animals to roam in. As We walked a skinny rabbit greeted us, practically begging for food so we feed it some grass. In the next few moments we watched as the entire group of rabbits and the 2 geese and all the deer in a seperate cage swiftly move to the gate to be fed as well. Seeing these events unfold we fed more grass to them as they bunched up upon the gate to get a feed. Evidentially shown they must not be feed much at all and you could really see how little they are cared for. Even with all the grass we feed them they still looked extremely hungry, searching for more food, still malnourished. In spite of the fact that they where extremely underfed these animals where being used as profit, signs and arrows directed us to a expensive vending machine holding a small bag of carrots. These animals are promoted as part of the 'experience' but there purpose is to be solely used as a a additional source of Bx one to the already expensive entry fee allowing for the greedy, unbothered owners to continue to profit of the poor, undeserving animals. I really hope the workers and management provide all the animals with the right, humane treatment but as I looked through the over review it is prevalent that the lack of care and treatment for the animals has been ongoing for many years. To anyone reading this should know they are paying the expensive entry fee to allow for these animals to continue to live this horrid life. Ask yourself, would I like to live my entire life trapped in a pen, malnourished and provided with so little care? We should be the voices to for the animals that are unable to speak up for themselves and not gifted with the pleasure of freedom. I hope you can look beyond the tourist scheme and change your mind when thinking of visiting this 'village' Shame on the people who run this place and ignore there wrongdoing.

A little display village of yesteryear. Lots of little huts , some that allows you to walk through and experience real life of the old days . Easy walk with lots of little spots to sit and relax . Has a little zoo with a few animals, rabbits , deer, geese, and pigs. Qwerty codes on all displays that allows you to listen to audio in a few different languages on your phone . Has 2 self-serving 7/11 stores for light refreshments. Overall, it was a nice experience, 8.5/10

Go for the experience. It's not worth while if you are making a long way here though. Tickets are at 15,000 won. Seen alot of tour buses here.

There’s a restaurant in this village that serves delicious and refreshing buckwheat noodles. Seems it is run by Jeju Farmers, the place is big and airy with a nice garden view. There are dry and soup versions, we like the dry buckwheat noodles better as it has a flavourful combination of toppings and unique sauces. Location is quite far away from town, and accessible by car.

Very nice walking around. Very well maintained with flowers and gardens and the houses. Really get a sense of the living of Jeju We didn't take audio guide, which might have helped as little other information or interaction, so I suggest this to English speaking tourists. The night light tour looks to be lovely option..
