Lonely Planet review

The excellent and extensive zoo (Seoul's best) is set amongst forested hillsides. A river runs through the park and families picnic along its shady banks. You can hike along a number of marked trails that stretch for 2km (1.2mi) to 6km (3.7mi). The zoo is home to a long list of exotic creatures, including the popular African ones.

A huge aviary contains cranes, swans, pelicans and other large birds, and an indoor botanic garden houses a forest of cacti, numerous orchids and carnivorous pitcher plants. Ants and swimming beetles are on display in a 'miniature creature' exhibit. An entertaining dolphin and seal show is held at , , and in summer but only at and in winter.
