Plus, they have this cool yard art:

This is my favorite piece!

Children's Grand Park is the perfect place to spend an afternoon.  Not only is it super fun place to hang out, IT IS FREE! So it is a win, win!  Cool place - very little out of pocket expense! :)  Kids are happy, parents are happy! 

The only things we found that you have to pay for are the extras....like playing in the big hamster balls: 
(Too bad this activitiy is only for kids.  I think I would have really enjoyed doing this! 5,000 won per ride)

How fun is this?!

We also had to pay extra for this (5,000 won per ride) but the kids LOVED it....

Well, 2 of them loved it....and one started off loving it....

And then came....GET ME OFF!!!  I think I am going to BARF!!!

Luckily the young men working the bungee jump knows the universal face for "I think I am going to barf" and stopped the ride QUICKLY. 

Ahhh, feeling better.

Hubby LOVES polar bears.

Texas Longhorns = Korean Zoo Animal.
We found this humorous. :)

I love how our kids will try foods without even knowing what they are trying. This one turned out to be yummy. 
Cheese filled bread.

The day just isn't complete in Korea without finding a statue of a little boy peeing....

We spent over 4 hours at Children's Grand Park and didn't even see 1/2 of it!  The prices for things were great.  And it wore our kid-o's out!  I see another trip in our future soon.

To get there by subway:
Get off at Children's Park Station (Seoul Subway Line 7), Exit 1.
It is THAT easy!
