Adventure World will host its winter-only night event, "Night Safari WINTER 2026," for a limited 22-day period from Friday, December 26, 2025, to Monday, February 23, 2026.
This event offers a special experience exploring "another world" after the park closes.We will run two exclusive night programs filled with excitement and discovery: the "Night Safari Hiking," where you walk through the dark Safari World to encounter the "nighttime faces" of giraffes and lions, and the immersive "Night Penguin Tour," where you can observe baby emperor penguins up close in the quiet, dimly lit Marine Mammal Pavilion.This year, the experience is enhanced with new content, including observing rhinos returning to their sleeping quarters and participating in artificial penguin chick incubation, allowing you to feel the rhythms of life. These are heart-stirring winter night activities, also recommended as a new way for hotel guests to spend their evenings.

"Night Safari WINTER 2026" is a special event held after the park closes. Therefore, if you are only participating in this event, you do not need to purchase an admission ticket (participation fees for each program are required).
