It's difficult to think of a better way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Children's Day in South Korea than by taking my four-year-old son, Theo, to the Legoland Korea Resort, which has timed its grand opening for this day (May 5). The new attraction is on Hajung-do island, in the mountain-enfolded city of Chuncheon, which is a 75-minute train.
