I (Danny) have to say I was very impressed by the zoo. It is in the south part of Seoul and set in the mountains with rivers, trees, and lakes. It is very beautiful and spring is a great time to go. I thought it was a great hike but on top of that we got to see animals. It was a fun day.
Danny started this post, but I guess I'll be the one to finish it . . . I definitely agree with him. I have to say that I have visited quite a number of zoos as a child and an adult, and as much as I like animals, I'm just not a "zoo person", but we go fairly often because the kids really enjoy it. I usually feel sorry for the animals in their small enclosures. They are often asleep or pacing and just seem bored or unhappy. But not only was this a beautiful zoo, but the animals were extremely active. Maybe we just hit a good day, but it was really fun. The monkeys were climbing everthing and blowing kisses, the bears were playing with each other, the sea lions were jumping off platforms, and the giraffes were moving about and eating. It was a gorgeous day in the mountains with some fun entertainment. We topped it off with slushies and a chairlift ride down to the entrance.
P.S. The Koreans don't follow the "don't feed the animals" rule, so maybe that helps make the animals a little more energetic!
