Keep the kids happy all day at this family amusement park with five themed areas, special shows and classic fairground rides, from bumper cars to a looping coaster. The Everland and Lotte World theme parks are better overall, but small children will still be very happy here.
It's accessed via the Elephant Tram Car (adult/child â‚©1000/7000) which links it with the park entrance.
