Seoulland is a very big theme park that is accessible by the Seoul subway. Some walking is required though the elephant train and/or the sky lift helps. The queues for the rides are very acceptable compared to similar theme parks. There are also many food options inside. It is a breeze entering the park with the klook voucher.

Under rated theme park! It was not busy on weekday and got on all rides on a short time. Unfortunately the roller coaster was close when I visit. Nonetheless we enjoy ourselves. Paid about SGD2 per way for tram to go theme park. Easy to redeem tickets following the instructions.

The special effects are fun. I bought it with the Klook pass. I can choose several attractions. It's quite cost-effective, but I need to go to the counter to exchange the ticket.

This one is really one of the highlights of our Seoul trip with kids. We loved the sky lift over the lake. The kids enjoyed this so much. Sadly, the animals at the zoo are few, maybe because we got so tired of walking so we didn't go around as much as to go over the entire zoo. It was huge. The Seoul Land is a so-so I think mostly for teenagers but the kids loved it too. I suggest getting skylift as much as you can for max enjoyment.
