서울숲 (seo·ul·sup) opened in 2005 on 495,868 square metres at 뚝섬로 273, according to Visit Seoul, which lists five themed areas: a culture and arts park, an eco-forest, a wetland centre, a learning park with the insect and butterfly gardens, and a riverside section. The Seoul city park office says the park has no closing day and no entry fee; only the tennis courts charge, 8,000 won for two hours on weekdays.
The parts with hours are the eco-forest, open 05:30 to 21:30, where the city's own article puts the walkway, the hill called 바람의 언덕 and the deer enclosure; the insect and plant garden, 10:00 to 17:00 from March to October and 10:00 to 16:00 from November to February, closed Mondays; the butterfly garden, 10:00 to 17:00 from May to October; and the visitor centre, 09:00 to 18:00 all year.
The lanes around 서울숲2길 by gate 4 are what the city calls the 성수동 아틀리에길, a run of workshops, cafés and restaurants.
Seoul Forest station on the Suin-Bundang line, exits 3 and 4, is 242 metres from the park; Ttukseom station on line 2, exit 8, is 537 metres. The city asks you to come by public transport because parking is limited. In November the insect garden closes at 16:00 and the eco-forest at 21:30.
Where are the deer?
The eco-forest closes at half past nine.
Tip Entry is free. The deer and the raised walkway are in the eco-forest, so go before 21:30.
