Seoul Children's Grand Park 서울어린이대공원
Seoul · Seongsu & Seoul Forest · Parks & nature
Seoul Children's Grand Park is a free public park that combines a zoo, a botanical garden, an amusement area and wide lawns. Although children are the focus, the grounds suit adults who enjoy long walks and picnics, and the paths are shaded by tall trees. The zoo houses a range of animals, and the amusement rides are separate and charge a fee.
Some paths are hilly, so a stroller may be a challenge, and the grounds are large enough to need a half day. Facilities may close on certain days, and hours and ride prices may change.
Getting there
Children's Grand Park Station (어린이대공원역), Line 7, Exit 1, is right at the front gate.
