Traveler reviews
CHEUNG YH
β β β β β a year agoDidn't plan to visit this park as I was actually on my way to the National Museum. I discovered the park as I was attracted by the beautiful view and decorations along the side tracks. And I'd say I'm glad that I did wander into the side tracks. The park was huge, clean and well-maintained. The plants in every area were thoughtfully juxtaposed. The lotus on the lake and the pink little flowers along the paths were such a pleasant and kind of romantic sight. And yes, the gigantic iron hand in the botanical garden is another reason why this park is a must-visit for every Seoul visitor. I recommend spending 30-45 minutes exploring the park.

β β β β β 3 weeks agoI ended up wandering into Yongsan Family Park on the way to the National Museum, and it was a really nice surprise. The side paths had lovely views and little decorations that made the walk feel more interesting than I expected. It wasnβt part of my plan, but Iβm glad I took the detour.
