From what I've heard, Hanwha Aqua Planet is the biggest Aquarium in Asia. They have variety of sea mammals and fishes. I was very intrigued about the whale shark when I visited here (I herd that the aquarium sent the whale back to the ocean). There is also a tunnel made with glass that you go through as shown in the photo below. I strongly recommend this aquarium for people who have children.

Saryeoni Frorest is cedar forest. If you want to have a easy walk, this is truly an amazing place to walk. I personally think this is the best forest in Jeju Island. What fascinated me was the view when the weather was foggy (I felt like I was in some kind of a movie scene). I visited twice here and every time I visited, there were few people, so I think people who want to quietly enjoy the nature and the view would really like this forest. For additional information, Saryeoni Forest was selected as "31 hidden beauties of Jeju."

The Jeju Stone Park is great for learning more about Jeju Island, especially about volcanic rocks. There are also three tracking courses for people to walk, which were really nice because there were many different Dol hareubangs craved next to the tracking road. These courses take about 50 minutes to walk. If you walk about 10 minutes from the entrance, you can find a museum that shows how Jeju rocks were formed and how they are used for Jeju's culture.

Ecoland theme park is highly recommended for families who have children. Each stations have different facilities that both parents and children can enjoy. For instance, at the first station, there is a playground and grass field for picnic. There is also a station where you can walk Jeju Gotiawal, which means "forest" in Jeju dialect. With that in mind, you can enjoy the fresh air and learn about Gotiawal (The announcement tells you the story). When our family visited here, it took us about two hours to finish because we stopped in every station.

Jinny's opinion:

At the hotel:

This hotel was really impressive. What I liked the most were the paintings and other artworks placed every floor, where each floor had a different theme (they were all about the theme of Jeju, such as mountains and ocean). 

There are two swimming pools in this hotel. One is a typical swimming pool, but the other one is a roof pool. At the top of the roof, you can enjoy the view of Jeju oreums and the bar. However, this pool is only open for adults (above 19).

The room:

The next thing that I liked was the minibar that were all free. The mini bar included chips, a milk chocolate, soda, one bottle of sparkling water, and two bottles of water. 

The room that we stayed in. This hotel seemed to have "sailor" theme.

I highly recommend this place for families with children. From the Roe dear observation centre, there are 13 Roe dears that you can feed and touch. There is also a play ground for young children when you walk a bit more. For the adults and children who are able walk 50 minutes, Geochin oreum is where you can find the wild Roe dears. This oreum is connected to the Roe dear observation center, so you can easily walk and enjoy the oreum.

Since I am an animal lover, I often came here with my mom and always saw herd of wild Roe dears. This oreum is also easy to walk because the track is not straight up to the pick (you walk around to reach the top).
