A stone mountain, once an abandoned ans forgotten stone pit, has been recreated as a lake with rainfalls and streams flowing into it. You can enjoy culture and art Performances at the outdoor concert hall and dream of becoming an astronaut in the astronomical science hall with a beautiful view of starlit skies.

This old quarry turned park is a great place to check out. It is a small park but very beautiful. There is a stage for Concerts as well as a little coffee shop on the grounds. A perfect place to just relax for a nice afternoon~~

Quite a long journey out (abt 1.5-2hrs) travelling time by car.. The venue is not as interesting as expected, although pictures have colourful background, nice flowers n herbs. Bakery, herb experience are the little shops to pop by. Do download the Korea voucher for discounted entry fee.

Taxi ride from Uijeongbu was about 20USD. We enjoyed walking the grounds with a Forest Interpreter and bird guide. Made arrangements before arriving in South Korea. Wonderful place! We visited on a Wednesday. We could have spent days here, alas we only spent half a day.

visited in Feb 2016. Great resort, with really good ski slopes. Rental of ski equipment was decent (look for the discount coupons). Took the bearstown shuttle from City Hall station Exit 4 - super convenient.
The only problem was the ski slopes / ski rental office, was a good 1-2 km away from the sled slope / sled rental office. They are not connected except by the main road. I had to walk with my toddler for nearly 30 mins before i could find it. My husband managed to join us via the ski slopes, which are not accessible except to ski-ers. I am hoping that they can provide some kind of shuttle service between the 2 points in the future. Food is aplenty there, at normal prices.

해마다 소풍으로 가는 곳이라 전 별로지만 아이들이 놀기에 좋은 것 같아요. 동물 친구들도 있고 넓은 잔디 밭에서 안전하게 뛰어 놀 수도 있고 아이들 데리고 소풍 가기엔 넘 좋은 곳이에요~

배상면주가에서 운영하는 술 박물관 및 체험관. 양조장을 구경하는 것도 색다른 체험이지만, 박물관 1층에서 각종 막걸리와 전통술을 시음할 수 있는 곳이 산사원의 하이라이트인듯 합니다. 포천에 방문할 일이 있으면 조용하게 한번쯤 들러볼만한 곳입니다.

대중교통으로 이용하긴엔 불편하며
어린이나 유아들에게 상당한 볼꺼리입니다
여러 동물들이 살아있는듯 전시되어있으며
실제와 약간 비슷합니다
또한 원주민들의 민속공연 역시 볼거리중 하나입니다
입장료 또한 저렴하나
주말 또는 성수기엔 주차문제가 있습니다
마지막으로 잉어에게 먹이를 주면
한꺼번에 몰려들어 장관를 이룹니다
