Seoul's Children Museum

It's been raining a lot lately, so the kids & I needed to venture out of the house some.  I happen to read an article about a new children's museum that had opened up recently near Children's Grand Park.  It was super easy to get to by subway,  only cost 4,000 KRW,  looked like a lot of fun, so I thought it would be the perfect place for us to spend our day.  We were not disappointed!!

We had some new friends join us for the adventure :)

The museum was super easy to get to.  Once you exit the subway, you just walk straight for about 5 minutes and you are there!

My friend & I thought this was super neat..you place your umbrellas in the slot, pull the key out and it locks it in until you are finished with your visit.  Then you return the key & get your umbrella back! ( I know doesn't take much to impress me..lol)

Our tickets were super easy to buy!  Then it was time to go in!!  The museum has four different floors, each with different themes & activities for the kids to explore!   This is on the first floor.

Using the pipes as instruments!

Tent city...

This was a really neat spot..the kids drew pictures on the sheet of paper.  Then they placed the paper into the red circular container, spun it around, and it animated the picture.  Pretty cool!

Being a virtual conductor!

After playing on the first floor for a while the kids were ready for a snack.  There is a cute little cafe located on the first floor that serves hot drinks ( coffees, teas, etc), cold drinks ( tea, water, lemonade, etc.), cookies, and some YUMMY gelato! Of course the kids chose the gelato, which was really good!

Afterwards, it was time to explore the second and third floors of the museum....

Shadow puppets.....

This was one of my kids favorite areas!  They climbing it!

Exploring the Space area...

Writing letters to the aliens....they LOVED this part! After they wrote them, they would put them in a metal box, press a green button and it would fly through a clear tube over them & land on the other side of the room in the aliens mailbox!  Super cute :)

On the top floor was the water area...by far their favorite place!

Also on the third floor was the World Fashion Show.  The kids had a blast trying on different clothes and walking the runway!

Somehow, we had missed this area on the first floor so when the boys saw it they had to go play with them! There was also an small outdoor section, but it was pouring rain so we skipped that part. 

As we were leaving the kids wanted a little snack to eat before we got on the subway.  Usually there are a lot of vendors outside of Children's Grand Park, but do to the rain they were all closed except this little spot!  The kids loved their corn dogs.

We had such a great day & can't wait to go back!!

Day Date: Brooklyn Burger

Tuesday, Josh took the day off and since our housekeeper/babysitter was at the house that day, he decided to take me on a day date!!

We had heard about a great restaurant near the post called Brooklyn Burger.  They are known for there amazing burgers, scrumptious fries, and a milkshake called the Nutella Burnt Marshmallow!  We knew this was a place we needed to try out!  So we hopped in a taxi and a few minutes later we were there!

I was told the place was small ( it only seats 18 people) & that if you don't get there early enough you could wait up to an hour or so to get in.  We arrived a little bit after they opened and got the last table...perfect!  I got tickled because as we looked around we noticed that Josh was the only guy eating there...lol.

Several of my friends had been here before so I asked them what their favorites were.  They either said the C.R.E.A.M. burger or the Cheese Skirt, so we ordered one of each!

While we were waiting for our food to come out, Josh happened to look out the window and see these two guys trying to get on this small motorcycle.  It cracked us up, so he had to take a picture.

Finally our food arrived and we were NOT disappointed!  These burgers reminded me so much of home....they were DELICIOUS!!!  Those fries....YUMMY!!!!

The C.R.E.A.M Burger...

The Cheese Skirt Burger...cute & yummy!

Honestly, we were so stuffed after eating both of those that we didn't have room for the Nutella Milkshake ( I know, shame on us), but we plan to go back & try it out!

Or maybe we will try out the new Brooklyn Burger that is opening in the Samsung area!

Until Next Time,
