Children's Grand Park in Seoul South Korea

Children's Grand Park is located in Seoul, South Korea. Getting there by the Seoul Metro can be a little confusing. The olive line (line number seven) will take you to the Children's Grand Park station. However, it is a long way from the park's main entrance and incredibly difficult to find. In light of this, you're best to take the violent line (line number five) to Achasan Station and go out through exit number four. This will basically take you directly to the front gate.



The admission to the park is free. It is well kept and offers a variety of attractions. There is a mini zoo which houses a diversity of animals such as elephants, tigers, monkeys, ponies, birds, various species of fish, snakes, turtles, and more. The park's layout is relatively easy to navigate. There are different animal rides available for children at a minimal fee. A nice botanical Garden with a number of different species of plants is enclosed in a rather impressive greenhouse. Here, you can find species of plants which include cacti, bonsai, and water plants. There is also an abundance of fast food places, convenience stores, and Korean eateries. The park also has some nice, scenic trails to walk along and relax.



A small amusement park with a rather impressive variety of rides ranging from children's to adult's is found close to the front entrance. Although, at the time of writing this blog it was closed for renovations.

In conclusion, if you're looking for inexpensive days outing while in Seoul, I would certainly recommend Children's Grand Park.
