The 10 Best Things to do in Gwangjin-gu, South Korea
Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

This park has it all: rides, a zoo, a park, and a concert hall. Make sure to check out the most popular event: a dazzling water-fountain music and lights show.

The park is attractive to both adults and children in autumn (late Oct./ early Nov.). The autumn colours are fascinating but they vary from year to year depending on weather, etc. This year, the summer is long and dry but the ginkgo and maple trees still show off their beautiful autumn colours, although not as good as those of last year. The park has a good zoo, apart from an amusement park, etc. I like to go there (and to the Seoul Grand Park) when I visit Seoul, as both are great places for photography and leisure.

Wow, I wish we had something like this nearby, we'd spend there whole weekends with our toddler! Lots of activities, everything is interactive, covers a diverse set of topics to learn about while having fun. Well maintained, nothing is broken or faulty, and just overall quality is quite amazing... especially for the price involved. Honestly, would rather go here twice than to any kids entertainment park, and still save quite a bit of money! It's both fun and educational, and lots of opportunities to develop motor skills for younger kids. In terms of age, I'd say even a 2 year old will find something fun to do here, and most of it is probably best suited for ages 4 to 6 when they can both have fun and learn new things. Few activities might still be fun for early primary school age, but say a 10 year old will most likely not find much to do here at all... We came here on a weekday morning, and after waiting out a crowd from some school to pass, most of the museum became half-empty and only the most popular activities had 2 or 3 kids waiting around. Came back after lunch, to an even lesser crowd and often found ourselves in completely empty areas. Spent all day here, and would really come back for a seconds, if had more time to spend in Seoul. All the exhibits have English annotations as well!

This is not a high mountain. It's a really nice hiking for 2~3 hours. But, the difficulty was high. There are many steep tracks. Some points needed to pass with a lot of concentration. Not recommended to young kids & seniors above 70. - We started from Yongma Waterfall Park(Metro Line #7 Yongmasan Station) and ended to Daewon High School. - There's a very good observation deck with a panoramic view. And Yongmabong Peak is about 5 min from there. Several routes are meeting at Yongmabong. - On the way to Achasan Mountain, there's a flat branching point with no sign. Left continues to Achansan and right is the end to Daewon High School. I recommend going on to Achasan if you aren't exhausted and have some more time.

Came here for the ramyeon experience and stayed here for the view. There apparently tons of activities that you can do here. Easy to reach from Line 7 of Ttukseom Resort Station and exit 2/3.
