Tips from parents who've been

💡 You can borrow a stroller free of charge at the information desk by the main gate. 💡 The grounds are fairly compact, which suits a slow walk with a child. 💡 There is a nursing room and a changing table, so visiting with a baby is straightforward.

Tips for going with kids

💡 The changing of the royal guard has strong colour and drumming, which holds children's attention. 💡 The fountain in front of Seokjojeon is a good photo spot with the stroller parked. 💡 At Jeonggwanheon you can show your child a building where traditional Korean architecture meets Western columns.

Travelling in Korea

💡 Deoksugung is a palace where traditional Korean buildings and Western stone architecture stand together. 💡 Visitors wearing hanbok enter free of charge. 💡 It is the easiest Seoul palace to visit in the evening, which makes it popular for a night walk.
