Outdoor goat feeding at Hamjjirang Tojjirang, a Gwangju animal café

Hamjjirang Tojjirang Animal Experience Café is an animal petting café on Docheok-ro in Docheok-myeon, Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, with an open pasture beside a chestnut forest and a river where you can feed goats, sheep, piglets, ducks and rabbits. A single ticket costs 12,000 won and includes either a drink or a bag of animal feed, and there is no time limit, so we wandered slowly with our child. Between the outdoor feeding, the indoor observation zone, a bowl of Hangang ramen and the 10,000 won bonding zone, one visit to Hamjjirang Tojjirang filled a whole weekend day.

Jeongwon Galbi Gyeonggi Gwangju Branch is a two-floor galbi (beef rib) restaurant on Gyeongancheon-ro in Songjeong-dong, Gwangju, Gyeonggi. At a weekend lunch with her husband and child, the writer grilled a 900g platter of handmade Idong galbi cut from chuck flap (74,000 won), added side dishes from the self-bar and finished with bibim naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles). With on-site parking, strong ventilation and a kids' spoon-fork set and seaweed snack brought to the table, Jeongwon Galbi made for an easy family meal.
