Uda Animal Park
A relaxing spot for interacting with animals and spending time in nature.
Surrounded by the mountains of Uda, this park offers a natural setting where various animals live, including goats, sheep, horses, and rabbits. Visitors can learn about the animals while interacting with them up close.
The park's main attraction is how close visitors can get to the animals. Watch lively goats nimbly cross a bridge and sheep leisurely graze in the pasture. Events offering further interaction include feeding goats and sheep and taking photos with ponies. Other hands-on activities include butter making for a fee, which requires same-day registration, and milking a model cow.
After interacting with the animals, head to the Natural Ecology Garden. This green area centered around a fountain pond is ideal for a stroll or a break on a bench or in a gazebo. The Observation Plaza is also worth visiting. In addition to views from its elevated location, it features a large slide called the Animal Slider.
