Seoul Grand Park서울대공원

At a glance

Seoul Grand Park opened in 1984 in Gwacheon as one place for nature, culture and leisure. Its centerpiece is the Seoul Zoo, which also carries out wildlife conservation, research and education, and its botanic garden, the first public arboretum created in Korea, shows about 1,600 plant species. The native forest of Cheonggyesan is well preserved here, with a healing forest used for forest-therapy programs, forest-bathing trails and a campground. Seoul Land and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art are next door.
