Location
I went expecting crowds, but the space around the lake gave me room to slow down. Walking, stopping for a snack and sitting near the water ended up being enough for the afternoon.
What I did
I walked around the lake, looked at the flowers and stopped for a waffle and soft-serve. I didn’t visit the zoo on this trip, so this review is about the park walk.
If you’re coming specifically for blossoms, check recent local updates before travelling. Flower timing varies, and the photos here show one visit rather than a guaranteed seasonal window.
Plan for the walking
I used Line 4 to Seoul Grand Park Station. The grounds cover a lot of space, so decide whether you want a short lake walk or a longer day with the zoo or garden. Check those attractions’ separate admission and hours.
Comfortable shoes and a picnic mat would be my useful extras. I forgot the mat and used a bench instead.
