KINTEX

The KINTEX, Korea International Exhibition Center, a massive building with multiple exhibit halls, ballrooms, and meeting facilities. They are also getting ready to open a second building nearby next month. It is quite a long subway ride out from Seoul, but was well worth it for me. This past month they had several interesting exhibits. For our first trip out there we went to see the "Rhythm of Africa". It wasn't a very big exhibit, but the show they had was great. There were, of course, the drums, and everyone in the audience had a drum to participate as well. Some singing, dancing, a little flute playing, great fun. 

After the show the performers came down and of course we took pictures with them!

There wasn't a large amount of things on display, but what they had was interesting. A little bit of everything: jewelry, weapons, burial items, masks, and others.

A few days later I went back with the girls to see the "Hi Dino" exhibit, and to have some fun at the "Happy SpongeBob World". The dinosaur exhibit was fantastic! It had numerous full scale dinosaur skeleton replicas, and many smaller real fossils, plus a few robotic dinos. There was a place for the kids to "dig up" bones, make their own fossils, and it also had a 3-D movie.

After this scientific exploration we had some fun at the SpongeBob place, the place the kids were really wanting to go to. It had some jumping balloons, a ball pit, a few games, a bubble show, and several pools set up with different activities: little boats, water slides, small wading pools.
