Where Snoopy Meets a Garden — GYULI Visited Gujwa-eup and Found a Photo Spot
said to be known as a great spot for photos
If you've been looking for somewhere to bring the kids in Jeju, or somewhere that photographs beautifully, there's a place whose name tends to come up sooner or later. It's Snoopy Garden, said to be located in Gujwa-eup, a space themed around Snoopy, the white dog from the comic strip 'Peanuts.' On its wide grounds, an indoor exhibition hall and an outdoor garden are said to sit side by side, and it's often introduced as a place you can enjoy indoors or outdoors depending on the weather. Today, GYULI wants to carefully put together what I've heard about this Snoopy Garden and share it with you.
Where a Lovable Character Meets a Garden
As the name suggests, this place is said to be built around Snoopy, a comic character loved around the world. Sculptures and displays featuring Snoopy and his friends are said to be placed throughout the grounds, and being a character-themed space, it's said to be frequently mentioned among families traveling with kids as well as travelers who simply enjoy the character.
What stands out is that it's not just character statues set up on their own — they're said to be woven into carefully landscaped grounds that live up to the 'garden' in its name. GYULI thinks it's this combination of character and nature in one place that makes Snoopy Garden feel a bit different from other theme parks. Exactly which sculptures are placed in which section is said to vary a little depending on the period, so please take this as more of a general guide.
I hear people say they came just to see one Snoopy statue, and ended up staying much longer because the garden itself was so pretty.

An Indoor Exhibition Hall to Enjoy Regardless of Weather
Snoopy Garden is said to be broadly divided into two spaces: an indoor exhibition hall and an outdoor garden. The indoor hall in particular is said to be a welcome part of the layout, since it can be enjoyed regardless of the weather. Just having one indoor destination nearby that you can visit without reshuffling your plans on a rainy or windy day is said to make trip planning noticeably easier.
Inside the exhibition hall, various Snoopy-related displays and props are said to be arranged throughout, and many visitors reportedly enjoy taking their time looking over each small piece. Exactly how the exhibits are organized, and whether the lineup changes by season, is said to vary by period, so I'd rather not state that definitively here. That said, one thing that comes up consistently across reviews is that it's an indoor space comfortable enough to spend a long time in.
An Outdoor Garden Said to Change Face by Season — and Known as a Photo Spot
After the indoor hall, visitors are said to move on to a wide outdoor garden. The outdoor garden is said to look a little different every time you visit, as the flowers and plants change with the season — spring and fall are said to fill the garden with vivid blooms, while other seasons bring a different shade of green scenery, or so it's introduced. Exactly which flowers bloom in which season can depend on that year's weather and upkeep, so please take this as general reference only.
Another reason Snoopy Garden comes up so often is that the outdoor garden is said to be dotted with spots well suited for photos. Many visitors are said to take pictures beside the Snoopy and friends sculptures, or with a well-arranged flower bed as the backdrop — a place, it's said, where not just kids who love the character but adults too find themselves feeling like children again as they snap photos. Taking a slow walk through the outdoor garden on a nice day and stopping to photograph whichever spot catches your eye sounds like a good way to spend the visit.
GYULI's Tip · Admission fees, operating hours, and the seasonal layout of the garden are all said to change from time to time, so it's a good idea to check the latest information before you visit.
A place where a lovable character and a beautifully arranged garden meet in one spot sounds like great news for anyone who enjoys taking photos while traveling. Meeting Snoopy indoors regardless of the weather, and photographing a scene that changes with the seasons outdoors — GYULI thinks being able to enjoy both of these is exactly why Snoopy Garden is counted among the go-to outings in Gujwa-eup. If you're planning a trip around Gujwa-eup, why not slip Snoopy Garden into your itinerary too?
