Seoul Grand Park

The other weekend we thought we’d head to the zoo at Seoul Grand Park. It’s an enormous zoo and we’ve been meaning to visit it for such a long time. It’s autumn in Seoul and all the trees are beautiful shades of orange, yellow and red. Seoul Grand Park was the perfect place to experience the gorgeous trees of autumn.
We bought a special package ticket which allowed us to take the elephant express train to the entrance of the zoo, and then we took the sky lift to the top of the zoo so that we could have a leisurely walk down.
We knew the zoo was big but we really had now idea how big. By lunch time we weren’t even half way through.
There were so many animals, some in small cages and others in really nice big ones.
One of the highlights of the trip was seeing the lions at feeding time. They feed the main lions first and all the others have to wait for these ones to finish before they get fed.
Another highlight was the South American section of the zoo. We saw some animals we’d never seen before including a giant anteater.
The Australian section was also good because we got to see some kangaroos carrying their joey’s. The one joey was lying head first in the pouch and only its foot was sticking out.
