Cheongju Zoo's accessibility monorail is reserved for eligible visitors: one wheelchair-using disabled guest with one adult companion, an individual aged 65 or over, or a pregnant visitor, as specified by the operator. The address is 40 Myeongam-dong, Sangdang-gu, Cheongju. The official 2026 application window runs from August 7 at 09:00 to November 29 at 23:00, while the listed activity period is March 1–November 29. Online and onsite applications are available, with up to two riders per boarding group and a maximum of two applications per person per day. Confirm that you receive the reservation text message.
Route A runs from Platform 1 (zebra enclosure) to Platform 2 (tropical hall) in ten-minute intervals from 09:00–11:50 and 13:00–16:30. Route B links Platform 3 (eagle enclosure) to Platform 4 (observatory), with listed hours 09:30–12:20 and 13:30–17:00. Book Route A; Route B boarding is scheduled 30 minutes later. The official page also warns that services pause for lunch around 12:00–13:00, so verify any late-morning B-route exception and possible waiting time before visiting.
Bring a disability registration card where applicable. The operator says a wheelchair user with a less severe registered disability needs a free zoo admission ticket while their adult companion must purchase an entry ticket. For severe disability, the disabled visitor and one companion should each collect a free zoo admission ticket. A free monorail ride is not identical to free zoo admission for everyone. Motorized carts and scooters cannot board; check directly whether a particular powered wheelchair can be accommodated. Heavy rain, strong winds or thunderstorms may halt operations. Call 043-201-4882 for group arrangements.
