You could easily spends hours at this place! We only had 2 hours and it flew by. To use the spa bath no clothes can be worn and women and men have their own seperate areas. The sauna rooms are for all and you are given special clothing to wear (cotton shorts and t-shirts). There were about 8 different saunas ranging from 25-80 degrees and each one with a theme - Himalayan salt walls, clay, charcoal and more. The place is beautiful and relaxing. It is very easy to fall asleep (many did!) Unfortunately the rooftop pool was not open when we were there but it looked very nice in the photos.

One of Korea’s oldest and most prized art forms is ceramics and at Icheon World Ceramics Center (about an hour from Seoul) you can see more than 500 different creations. It is a great place to buy ceramics at heavily discounted prices and there are even classes teaching visitors how to make their own work of art.

We travelled all the way here for my 4 year old dino-obsessed son. We thought it was totally worth it! Word of warning - taxis are hard to come by so you are probably better off prebooking your ride. The main exhibit hall was great - lots of informative stuff in English. They also have separate buildings for an Insectarium (which we didn’t go to) and a Space Centre (which we did but left quickly as it was all in korean and we understood nothing). There’s a Dino park outside as well with Dino statues which my son loved taking photos of.

I came here again, after visiting 2 years ago when I had tight time constraints. I was able to see all of the attractions in good detail, and some of the exhibits had been updated too. This is an excellent display of the history of electrical/electronic technology from the discovery of electricity to the technology of today, featuring many Samsung products produced over the last 50 years. Be sure to make a reservation or email for an appointment if visiting Monday to Friday, as visits are normally restricted to appointments only. No reservation is needed on Saturdays. 15-1 bus from Suwon station is the easiest way to get there and back.
10. Starfield Hanam
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 47 reviews
Starfield Hanam is a revolutionary shopping experience in Eastern Seoul. With the largest indoor spa inside a mall in all of Asia and allowing pets to shop along side their owners, this is a destination by itself. Lose yourself in a comprehensive shopping experience at Hanam Starfield.
Reviewed By HopALongHari - Sacramento, United States
Starfield is a very welcome addition to the otherwise peaceful suburb of Hanam-si. (At last, peaceful by Seoul standards). Be careful if you take public transportation here, there is another, completely different neighborhood in Seoul called "Hannam dong" that is full of expats and foreigners. This area is called "hanam-SI" pronounced SHE to denote it's a separate city. If you've ever visited a mall in the Philippines, this is kinda up that alley but fancified. This isn't your typical US shopping center, not even your typical high-end outlet mall. There is literally something to do for everyone, including your canine friends. Once you enter the sparkling clean gates of Starfield Hanam, you can spend all day at the water park and attached Korean style bathhouse. You can also get your hair styled in the latest fashion, get an intricately designed gel manicure, learn to cook(the anchor store, Shinsegae, has a a full-working teaching kitchen with classes), take virtual flight and a ropes course (MonsterBox), watch the newest movies on fully reclining luxury RESERVED seats while drinking beer, check out the newest Tesla and Hyundai EVs or if diesel motors are your things there's Mini Cooper and Harley Davidson, ogle dogs (unfortunately, puppy-milled, but they're so dumb and small they're very cute at Molly's Pet Shop) and even buy a pet. The mall is especially geared towards kids and dogs which is very unusual in Korea. There's at least 2 different kids zones (1 in the general mall area and 1 at Shinsegae), an entire wing dedicated to kids shopping, and lots of places to get a snack. I also see kids riding motorized scooters a lot, perhaps you can ask the help desk to rent one? For food you will find Chinese, Japanese, and Korean high-end as well as casual eating. And lots of western style pub and fast food fare. There's even an On the Border serving Americanized Mexican food. Anyone who's lived in Asia a long time will tell you, it is VERY hard to get good tacos here, so that's someting. If you're visiting from America, especially the more cosmopolitan parts, about 70% of the stores will be familiar to you. If you're looking for something different, it might not be as interesting for you. However, if you're willing to REALLY explore, enter stores, nooks and crannies, people watch, and sip and snack, and take advantage of the adult entertainment areas (not tha kind of "adult", I mean the sports center, water park, and movie theater) you can definitely spend the entire day here. If shopping isn't really your thing, as other reviewers have noted, you should pass. Even if you don't like "malls" you have to admit, this place is BEAUTIFUL and ridiculously clean and pleasant for shoppers. There are large bathrooms and rest stations with ice cold water easily found on each floor and each wing. And yes, all the luxury brands are here in one place. I think it's a bigger concentration of names than even Rodeo Drive. Including a random Tom's coffee shop and a Mercedes coffee shop.
