●Approximate location (Traveling with Kids in Korea)
It is located in the west of Seoul,
It is very close to Gimpo Airport Station on Airport Railroad.
This is what it looks like when you step outside after about 10 minutes of traveling on the inside path of the subway.
Go outside and take the left path in the photo
(walk on right after exiting)
Follow the natural path to the right
Very, very close indeed.
A 3-minute walk will take you to the place in the photo.
The big building on the left is the place we will visit today!!!
It took me about 10 minutes on the inside path of the subway,
It took about 10 minutes from the outside
I got there in 20 minutes.

Both Loah and Yunwoo were too young to do it.

Loah is having a lot of fun. (Traveling with Kids in Korea)
They have a really cool aviation library.
There were a lot of books about airplanes,
and comic books for little kids so they wouldn’t get bored.
There’s a picnic area, so people who bring their own lunch can eat there.
There was also a convenience store right next door.

I’ll have to come back when Loah is a little older~.
Now let’s go to the fourth floor.
●Introduction to the fourth floor
There’s nothing to do on the 4th floor except watch Gimpo Airport.
It’s hard to take a stroller to the observation deck.
*Stroller was the only here that couldn’t go.
But I did get to see some nice scenery,
it was refreshing.
