#seoul When visiting Seoul, add the Seoul Grand Park to your bucketlist especially if you are travelling with kids along with you. This place houses a vast species of animals. You will surely enjoy sight-seeing and learning at the same time as animals are named, classified, by their breed, habitat, and the ecosystem to which they belong. The zoo showcases exotic birds, dolphins, lions, elephants, giraffes, gorillas, and a lot more. Tours usually include this in their itinerary so you can hop in and enjoy taking photos for keepsakes. If you are an animal lover like me, this is your chance to watch these animals closer.

Wonderful outing for family and those that like cable car. The zoo has cable car facility which reduced walking hours by 80%. There are tigers and active panther . The rest of animals may not able easily seen. As their enclosure is huge. Good place to spend a day hiking and animal watching

Seoul Grand Park Christmas tree decorations! Since Seoul Grand Park is famous for its zoo, they added a zoo atmosphere with giraffe and rabbit decorations:) There are many Christmas trees gathered together, so it feels cute. It is smaller than other Christmas tree attractions, but it was nice to take pictures because there weren't many people🎄 #Christmas #SeoulGrandPark #ChristmasTree #ChristmasTreeAttraction

this is a place name Seoul Grand Park. it is very popular in Koreans but not very famous for tourists. it is very big park which has many place to visit individually. there is a very big zoo and very beautiful herb garden. for each location there is difference entrance fee but it is only 5000KRW for zoo and 2000KRW for herb garden. you can get a ticket for every attractions pass for 25000KRW which is like 20 USD so it is a family budget location as well. there is a very big science museum for kids to have fun and art museum for adults as well. if you travel with kids, it is a great location to visit . very beautiful lake in the middle and you can have a walk around it. also trees have many different colours of leaves so it is very good choice to visit in fall. #seoul #family Vacation #koreantrip #fallingforfall

Lounge D, a cafe and restaurant inside the Gwacheon National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art! In this weather, the outdoor terrace is love,,😍 The outdoor terrace is healing in itself because you can see the trees right away. There are many seats inside, but on a nice day, I recommend the outdoor terrace with a mountain view😃 Wouldn't it be great to have a meal and coffee at Lounge D, a Gwacheon cafe with a nice view after a date at the modern art museum? #Cafe with a nice view #Gwacheon cafe #Gwacheon travel #National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Gwacheon

#CanadaFlightEvent Do you know the difference between a bad mountain and a normal mountain? I didn't know a mountain was a rock mountain. I climbed it once and my knees were all out. I looked down on Gwanaksan for no reason, but the kimbap I ate at the top was amazing. My boyfriend bought it for me. It was a place that was secretly hard to get to from my favorite kimbap restaurant, so I was touched. That's why my knees were out, but my love for Gwanaksan grew.

#CanadaFlightEvent I recommend Gwacheon Seoul Grand Park. After parking, there are various snacks on the way to the entrance, and there is a pocha selling fast food, so it would be good to have udon before you go. It is also good to take pictures while walking around the zoo in the park and watching the animals playing. #DomesticTravel

It's a new restaurant across from Seoul Grand Park. A friend recommended it because it has a rooftop, so we went together. It's a building that was renovated from a house, so if you go up the narrow stairs, you'll reach the second floor store, and if you go outside and go up the stairs again, you'll reach the rooftop with a wide view. #FebruaryTravelSupportEvent

#January Travel Support Event I visited Let's Run Park in Seoul Racecourse. The admission fee is 2,000 won per person and only cash is accepted. There is a memorial hall on the first floor of the building, where the history of Korean horse racing, commemorative plaques, trophies, etc. are displayed, and there is a lot to see. It is a place you can visit with children, so I recommend going on a season with good weather!

Children will enjoy it because they can see real horses, and there is a picnic zone so you can enjoy eating packed lunches or takeout food in spring and fall.

#CanadaFlightEvent LaonTable LaonTable Review. It's always a place with a lot of reservations and long waits, but I made a reservation in advance for lunch on a weekday and went there. The pasta, steak, etc. were all delicious, and the wine was cheap, so I ordered wine later. The price starts from the late 10,000 won range, so it's not cheap. Gyeonggi-do Gwacheon-si Gwanmun-ro 92 B-dong 133, 134 Operating hours - 11:00 ~ 21:00 Break - 15:00 ~ 17:00 #GwacheonRestaurant

#CanadaFlightEvent A huge Daiso opened on the 3rd floor of the E-Mart Gwacheon branch near Gwacheon Government Complex Station. The entire 3rd floor of the building is Daiso, so it's really spacious, and there were a lot of hot items that were hard to find in other stores, such as Lidlshot. There are close to 80 categories, so if you go shopping, there's a lot to see. #Shopping

Seoul Attraction: Seoul Zoo ♥️♥️♥️ Address: 102 Daegongwongwangjang-ro, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea The zoo is very large and it takes almost a whole day to see everything. 😍😍😍 Taking the aerial tramway is a great experience, offering beautiful views of the entire place. 👏👏👏👏 There are many kinds of animals, and they all have large living spaces. The animals are healthy and adorable. 😍😍😍 It's a great zoo and a wonderful place to visit with kids. 👍👍👍 🦩🦚🦔🐅🦜🦒🦏

#Gyeonggi-do travel #Gwacheon #National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Gwacheon. It is located together with Seoul Grand Park and Seoul Land. If you come by car, there is a parking lot, so I recommend coming to the place where the museum is. There is also a shuttle from Daegongwon Station, so you can come by public transportation. When Seoul Museum was not there, I think Gwacheon was the most active place. I went to Gwacheon Museum after a really long time, and the work of artist Nam June Paik that greeted me at the entrance was overwhelming. The exhibitions are different depending on the period, so I recommend checking before going. There is an admission fee for each exhibition, so I went to see the ceramics exhibition. The price was 2,000 won, and the parking fee is 3,000 won for two hours.😀 I recommend Gwacheon Museum!

#January travel support event This is Gwacheon Bupalla Steakhouse. The owner and staff of the restaurant nearby have been studying in Italy for several years. That's why the pizza is delicious. If you're looking for a good place to eat meat, pasta, or pizza, I highly recommend it. It's in Hillstate, so the location is also good. #February travel support event #Steak restaurant
