NoTips from parents who've been
💡 The 1F baby lounge covers feeding, nappy changes and warming baby food in one place.
💡 It stays open until 9pm on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so an evening visit works.
Tips for going with kids
💡 The digital zone on the 4th floor has an old alleyway set and a car-driving mission game. Best from kindergarten age up.
💡 The 8th floor roof garden looks over Gyeongbokgung and Cheong Wa Dae — the best photo spot with a stroller.
Travelling in Korea
💡 Entry and all activities are free. No booking needed.
💡 The account of modern Korean history, from the opening of the ports to today, is available in several languages.
