Children's Grand Park


What an awesome time we had today! I'm quite sure adults have as much fun at Seoul's Children's Grand Park as kids do. There are numerous playgrounds, water activities, animal shows, a zoo, and plenty of other things to keep you occupied and entertained.

After walking around for a short time, we chose to see the "Aladdin" show with a full cast of animal characters. It was adorable!

There were also guinea pigs, ducks, a raccoon, a cat, and many other birds. It was really a lot of fun!

The zoo at the park is also very nice. We were fortunate that most of the animals we saw today were active, and those that weren't were napping in the open. My personal favorites were the polar bears. I don't think I've ever seen polar bears in person before.

Massive paws!

We had a good natured laugh at the jaguar's expense. There was a worker on top of his cage, the roof of which is just a type of metal netting. That jaguar was stalking that man, ready to pounce. I was glad to see his animal instincts haven't deserted him in captivity.

"I'm ready!"

The lions, leopards, and tigers were all out and pacing in front of the glass, so we were able to see them very well which is always a lot of fun!

And what would a trip to the zoo be without a camel ride!


Before leaving we took some time to cool our feet in the wading area. Now I know to bring clothes next time!
