First Garden — Attraction in Paju-si

Kind of a western style garden estate with a variety of different things to do. There are a lot of roman-style columns, statues, planters and other sculptures made of what appears to be high quality marble. I don't know where they got all the marble from but it looks very nice. There is a large greenhouse, part of which is a parakeet exhibit where guests can feed and interact with birds (the birds will eat from your hand). There is a another bird exhibit with colorful peacocks, ducks and pheasants and a small zoo with raccoons, bunnies and sheep where guests can feed the animals for a fee. There is a ropes course, merry-go-round and several small amusement park-type rides (bumper cars, swinging pirate boat, etc [fee required]) , a large inner-tube slide [fee required] near the zoo and a small creek area where kids can play in the water. I'm not sure if I've gotten everything, but if you're bringing kids, there's a lot of stuff to do.

There are two restaurants (Korean and Italian) near the entrance and a cafeteria near the rides, but I would say the food selection is a bit limited. The are several signs saying that outside food is prohibited, but this rule doesn't seem to be strictly enforced.

There is a Halloween event every year, where part of the park is decorated with spooky Halloween stuff like jack-o-lanterns, skeletons, spider webs, witches, zombies and so-on, which is kind of fun. Kids had a great time when I...

I actually really liked it here! The rides were mainly for babies but it was still fun to experience the lights and all the scenery. I think they do a really good job of keeping everything clean and neat! The lights start turning on at around 7 ish. The restraunt there is also really nice and we went to the western side (there were two sides, one western and one more eastern(asian)). The scenery is so beautiful and it's a blast walking through and trying out all of the activities! The barn animal seeing- although it smells pretty bad- was cool. I felt like the animal living conditions was probably the least well kept of the entire place but something like that is usually pretty unsanitary. It was honestly fine for me though. I think the area was a great place to take pictures and go...

Visited for the lighting festival (~ Dec. 31, 2020). Admission fee for the adult was ￦10,000 / person on the weekend. They do have an indoor botanic garden, as well as small animal farm (guinea pigs, rabbits, sheeps, peacocks etc.) Each area has a theme , won't get bored :) If you wanna go just for the lighting festival , go after when it starts get dark or like 2hrs before it gets closed. Otherwise, you won't able to take pictures (as much as you like in each spot). People waits in a line to take picture.
