Namsan Tower, Seoul Children's Park, and the Korean subway

Our next adventures in Seoul this trip took us to the Seoul Grand Children's Park. This was our first visit there, and we were really impressed. This park has a fairly large free zoo, as well as a botanical garden, cafes and convenience stores (of course!), and even an amusement park.

After the park, we drove to Namsan Tower, or N. Seoul Tower, and took the cable car to the top. We always aim to arrive just before sunset, so we can catch the day and night views from the top. However, all the restaurants were closing as we came back down, so we ended up eating a Korean chicken dinner outside as a picnic. No complaints at all. It was a fun adventure and great views!

To finish the day, we took a ride on the subway back to our airbnb. This was our little ones' first time every traveling via subway, and they loved riding the trains. They insisted on holding the hand holds up on the top. If you have never ridden the Korean subway, it is the best in the world. I have taken the subway everywhere from Paris, London, Kiev, Osaka, etc, but the Korean subways are the best. Wide, clean cars, safe environment, no bad smells-ha!
