I booked the day tour and it was fun, especially if you have children.
We(parents and 2 boys aged 14 and 8) set off at 10.30am to a strawberry farm about an hour away from Myeongdong station. We had our fill of strawberries while picking. Strawberries were juicy and sweet. Eat those which are all red and ripe. Pick those with some green colours into your box so that they will be riped in a day or 2 for eating. We spent about an hour at the strawberry farm.
The Rail Park is about half an hour away. It has timing to the ride(1.30pm, 2.30pm etc) so time your arrival so that you do not need to wait too long. There are 2 types of rail bikes; 2 seaters and 4 seaters. All bikes will be in a convoy and the staff tells us to keep 10m apart. You pedal and the bike moves on the rails. We pedalled for about 30-40mins. Not strenous but yo would really need some strength to pedal. We got off at a mid point and there is a cafe. The place was cold and windy, so the coffee was good to keep warm. We were later brought to the end point on a train. My boys loved the rail bike ride the most.
We went to a restaurant at the Nami wharf for a late lunch. The hot plate vegetables with chicken and pork belly was very good. Have the fried rice too.
Lastly, the Garden of the Morning Calm was surprisingly big. It is basically a huge garden with lots of lightings on the trees, ornaments. It was very cold and we left after an hour. I would imagine this place to be lovely to walk with your love ones during Spring or Autumn when temperature is about 20 degrees celcius.
We reached our accomodations about 8.30pm.
