A Time-Traveling Quest Across 20+ Countries
The museum’s unique concept follows a rescue mission. Using a "special time yacht," visitors follow Teddy’s team as they hunt for the elusive Tesuni. Each section represents a different nation, allowing children to learn about world geography and landmarks in an engaging, interactive way. Look closely at each display—finding Tesuni hidden among the crowds of bears is a fun scavenger hunt for all ages!
From Asian Landmarks to Oceanic Wonders
Your journey begins in Asia, where you can see teddy bears celebrating at Shanghai’s Bund or enjoying the neon lights of Macau. As you move to Oceania, the opera house of Sydney and the glowing worm caves of Auckland come to life. The attention to detail is remarkable—you can even witness miniature fireworks over Singapore’s Merlion!
Discovering Gunsan’s History Through Teddy Bears
The tour concludes with a special "Immigration Office" section dedicated to the host city, Gunsan. Here, the teddy bears reenact significant local historical scenes, such as the Saemangeum project and life at the Hirose House. It’s a fantastic way for children to connect with the local heritage of Gunsan through a playful and accessible lens.
Practical Tips for Visitors
The Teddy Bear Museum Gunsan is open daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

The museum offers free stroller rentals and a dedicated parking lot, making it very family-friendly.
Photo Zones and Souvenirs
Don't forget to charge your camera! The museum is packed with photo zones where you can pose with giant teddy bears or sit in a traditional rickshaw. Before you leave, stop by the souvenir shop to browse a wide selection of antique-style and modern teddy bears, keychains, and themed merchandise to take a piece of the magic home with you.
