Seoul Children's Grand Park

A free-admission public park in Gwangjin-gu. Its operator, Seoul Facilities Corporation, lists park opening 05:00–22:00 daily and zoo viewing 10:00–17:00, while rides and other paid facilities follow separate prices/hours. The botanical garden alone is CLOSED for remodeling from May 27, 2026 until the second half of 2027 (estimated); this is not a closure of the entire park or zoo.

Why it matters now

A reliable weekend anchor for October 10–11, 2026. The park's official calendar lists performances on both days, but their times and booking requirements were not independently confirmed. Do not plan around the botanical garden: it remains closed.

Why go

A straightforward family outing combining open green space and a zoo visit. Main gate: Children's Grand Park Station, Subway Line 7, Exit 1. Rear gate: Achasan Station, Line 5, Exit 4. Confirm any individual paid attraction's operation before setting out.
