The core route
1. Children's Grand Park Station / the main gate — Start your route with free admission.
2. The Yugangwon stone-statue grouping — View the civil and military official statues and animal figures, and confirm this land's original purpose.
3. The zoo — Move through sections open starting at 10am.
4. The botanical garden (skip if closed) — Include this only if it's open; check the renovation schedule first.
5. The amusement park — Enjoy the rides while keeping in mind the state-led history behind this entertainment facility.
6. The residential streets of Neung-dong — Finish with a short walk through the neighborhood behind the park.
Backup routes for different situations
If it's raining heavily
Start at the main gate → Extend your time at the zoo's indoor exhibition halls → View the Yugangwon stone-statue grouping briefly, with an umbrella → Skip the outdoor amusement rides
If the botanical garden is closed
- During the 2026–2027 renovation period, drop the botanical garden from your route and rebuild it around the zoo, the stone statues, and the amusement rides
If walking is difficult, or accessibility is a concern
Limit your visit to the stone-statue grouping near the main gate and the nearest zoo sections, and check whether the park offers an internal shuttle for covering its large grounds.
✅ Final check before you leave
- The botanical garden's renovation and closure schedule
- Zoo visiting hours and any special closures
