Seoul Children's Grand Park

Seoul Children's Grand Park is a 530,000-square-meter family park in eastern Seoul, combining a free-admission zoo, a small amusement park, botanical gardens, and broad event lawns within a single subway-accessible perimeter. The zoo houses around fifty species, including elephants, giraffes, and big cats, and emphasizes naturalistic open enclosures rather than the small-cage layouts common in older Korean zoos. The amusement zone has gentle rides aimed at younger children, with adult coasters available for accompanying older siblings. Free to enter (tickets only for amusement rides). Best on weekday mornings to avoid school groups. Reachable directly from Children's Grand Park Station on Line 7.
