Teddy Bear Farm @Sokcho

Located in Sokcho, the Teddy Bear Farm Gallery offers a glimpse into the unique lifestyle of Sokcho through teddy bears: teddy bears are displayed mountain-climbing, skiing, playing golf, riding a boat from Abai Village to downtown, working hard on a squid fishing boat, sun tanning, or even defending the country. It is a must-visit for Teddy Bear lovers! Visitor can also purchase their favorite teddy bears at the gift shop.

According to our tour guide about the history of teddy bears: "teddy" got its name from the US President Theodore Roosevelt, whose nickname is "Teddy".

Outside the farm house, there is more teddy bear figurines..but due to the bad weather...is raining, so I did manage to go out and snap more photos. Only a few shots from inside the farm house.
