Edelweiss Swiss Theme Park / Petite France

Edelweiss Swiss Theme Park/ Petite France



What are they?

Edelweiss Swiss Theme Park and Petite France are just two of the many cultural themed villages that South Korea offers. These two are only 20 minutes away from each other and many people visit them together. Edelweiss is the less popular of the two but it offers many mini museums as well as a garden and mini zoo in the village. There are also houses here but you cannot walk into them as people live there. On the other hand, Petite France is one of the most popular themed villages in Korea. This is because it has been featured in Korean TV shows and movies. Like Edelweiss there are mini-museums and houses you can walk through. This is an awesome day trip to take with your friends if you want to get away from Seoul for the day.
