Lotte World

Located in the Songpa District of Seoul, this theme park consists of two main sections: an indoor area and an outdoor area. Visitors go here to access a variety of rides and attractions in a single location, with the indoor section allowing for activities regardless of weather conditions.

Getting There

The park is accessible from the city centre via the Seoul Metropolitan Subway. Depending on your starting point, the journey typically takes between 30 and 50 minutes. The nearest station is Jamsil Station, which provides direct access to the complex.

Duration of Visit

Because the site is divided into indoor and outdoor zones with numerous attractions, most visitors allocate a full day to explore both areas. Those focusing only on specific rides may spend a half-day there.

When to Visit

The park gets crowded, particularly on weekends, public holidays, and during school vacation periods. To avoid the longest queues, arriving early in the morning is recommended. The indoor section makes it a viable option during the winter or rainy seasons when outdoor parks are less accessible.

Nearby Attractions

The park is situated close to several other points of interest, making it easy to combine visits:

  • Lotte World Tower: 0.4km
  • Olympic Park: 2.4km
  • COEX Aquarium: 3.5km
  • Museum Kimchikan: 3.5km
