Things to do in Seoul, South Korea: The Best Children's Museums

May 7, 2022 Viva Honore

Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

Seoul Children's Museum

Reviewed By sashkello - Sydney, Australia

Wow, I wish we had something like this nearby, we'd spend there whole weekends with our toddler! Lots of activities, everything is interactive, covers a diverse set of topics to learn about while having fun. Well maintained, nothing is broken or faulty, and just overall quality is quite amazing... especially for the price involved. Honestly, would rather go here twice than to any kids entertainment park, and still save quite a bit of money! It's both fun and educational, and lots of opportunities to develop motor skills for younger kids. In terms of age, I'd say even a 2 year old will find something fun to do here, and most of it is probably best suited for ages 4 to 6 when they can both have fun and learn new things. Few activities might still be fun for early primary school age, but say a 10 year old will most likely not find much to do here at all... We came here on a weekday morning, and after waiting out a crowd from some school to pass, most of the museum became half-empty and only the most popular activities had 2 or 3 kids waiting around. Came back after lunch, to an even lesser crowd and often found ourselves in completely empty areas. Spent all day here, and would really come back for a seconds, if had more time to spend in Seoul. All the exhibits have English annotations as well!
