Built for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, this sports complex was the location of the opening and closing ceremonies. It houses the Jamsil Baseball Stadium, where you can catch a KBO game, plus football stadiums, golf courses, a hockey rink, Olympic swimming pool, and gyms that can be booked for use. It also hosts concerts from time to time, including past performances from big name acts such as BTS and Paul McCartney. The Olympic Pavilion exhibit displays uniforms, mascots, and souvenirs from the games and has free admission. Take a tour and learn all about that Olympics, including how the Olympic Stadium here is where American sprinter Griffith Joyner won three gold medals, and Carl Lewis won gold in the 100 meter. Check out Hodori Plaza, where a cartoon tiger called Hodol welcomes you and where the Olympic flame was ignited.
