A Sunday trip, that’s about an hour from Eechon. I wasn’t expecting much, but this Zoo was much bigger than I had imagined. When parking we saw a Taekwondo bus and Mason was full of questions on why that group had come to the zoo together as a group. Buying tickets was easy, and the elephant train took us right to the entrance.
We weaved our way through their grounds, with highlights of seeing an elephant getting his feet washed and catching a tiger jump out of his outdoor pool to run back inside. The chimp swinging from rope to rope was Mason’s favorite and I don’t either of us were that thrilled to walk through the snake section. The had a little stream that we played in near the elephant slide too.
17,000 KRW for a Pokémon balloon seemed excessive so we settled on a ninja sword. Taking the sky lift back down the mountain was fun and we got an overhead view of a beautiful park that was deserted – will be great place for our next visit to hang out at. Once we got home, HK had had made us hamburgers.
I don’t think I will ever forget this day – uneventful but memorable at the same time. Please don’t grow up too fast Mason, I fear the days you will no longer be interested in spending the day at the zoo with your old man.
