Another nice place which you can enjoy with your family especially your children is Daejeon Expo Park. Daejeon Expo Park is a very unusual location. This park is the remains of what was a large science expo back in 1993. In its hayday this place looks as though it would have been packed full of people however, it has been a very long time since this place has seen those days. Upon entering this park you begin to see some very interesting structures. One of the most interesting sections of this park is the huge abandoned amusement park. I am not sure if it is true but I was told that this amusement park had been closed down due to the number of deaths that have occurred here. As you walk around this area there is a very creepy feeling. This would make a great location for a Halloween event. The grounds are full with intersting buildings that have been abandoned after the expo finished. These buildings are not only huge but also extremely unique. Most of the buildings are closed and have been for some time. You can see the age and lack of upkeep when you get close to them. It seems to me that they could be using these things in a much more useful way. There is one building that is being used. In the center of the park is the Advanced Science & Technology Center by the National Science Museum. This building has a number of different exhibits showing off lots of different R&D projects that are being worked on here in Korea. When you first enter you can watch the dancing robots. For those of you who enjoy camping you can also rent tents and camp inside the park. The tents also have a nice table and grill for cooking. It is a great way to enjoy camping without having to go to far from home.
