Samsung Transportation Museum is a winner
I was impressed with the many vehicles in the museum. I would recommend this for any car enthusiast. A nice collection of vehicles that are not the norm you would find in the US museums I have visited. It was refreshing to see a different perspective. A definite must see for the CAR GUY!!!

Automotive museum, not other kinds of transportation - but fun.
It's a modern building with a nice collection of cars. It's fun since it's not muscle cars like many "museums" seem to have, but actually cars from the 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, etc. Highlights to me were the world's first mass produced car, as well as a car from ~1908 by Sears (I had no idea Sears had their own car once...), and a lot of the older European cars. The placards are simple, but useful - when the car was produced, it's top speed, horsepower, engine displacement, and a bit more. Pretty empty when I went, maybe since it doesn't seem to very advertised. It's right down the road from Everland, and costs 6,500 won/person. I was pleasantly surprised.
