Korea Travel - Such a Family Trip is Really Cool
For a family trip, you must go to Lotte World~ Lotte World is a world-class theme park in Korea, with castle-like architecture that makes you feel like you're in a dreamy fairy tale. Lotte World features the most cutting-edge rides. Whether you love adventure or seek romance, you can find the perfect ride for you. It's not a park just for accompanying kids, but a park for the whole family to enjoy together! Another must-do experience at Lotte World is renting Korean school uniforms. Become a K-drama couple for a day with your partner, and leave your footprints in the most romantic place~
Less than a 20-minute bus ride from Lotte World is COEX, a large shopping mall in Korea. SM TOWN used to be located here, which is probably why many people know this place, right? Although SM TOWN has moved, there is still a must-see attraction—the Starfield Library. A whole wall of bookshelves makes for a very unique photo backdrop~!
But today's main destination is the COEX Aquarium, located on the first basement floor of COEX Mall. It has 16 themed exhibition zones, featuring over 650 species of marine life, as well as wonderful performances like mermaid shows. It's perfect for bringing kids to meet the adorable friends of the Earth. How do these little creatures living in the sea spend their days? Don't forget to take a certification photo in front of the large aquarium~
Yongsan Station, as a transportation hub in Seoul, is surrounded by many fun and convenient facilities. Today I came to I'PARK MALL, right next to Yongsan Station. Fashion brands, home goods, and CGV cinema are all gathered here. Let me tell you a secret—the chance of running into a celebrity at this cinema is very high~ Because new movies usually have their roadshows here. Recently, there is also a Doraemon exhibition at I'PARK MALL, selling hundreds of themed merchandise. Right next to it is a Doraemon-themed café, with drinks that match perfectly. It's not just a paradise for kids; don't miss the chance to get up close with our childhood friend, the blue fat guy! Shopping is also a must when traveling in Korea! Parents can buy popular Korean products here~
Across from Yongsan Station is the new Yongsan Station, where you can take an airport limousine bus and arrive at the airport in less than an hour. Then, take the five-minute Paradise City shuttle bus to reach Paradise City, which is very convenient and fast 🫢
After checking into the hotel, first experience the hotel's indoor and outdoor pools! Accompanied by blue skies and white clouds, you can even see planes taking off and landing at the airport—a very fresh experience~ Add in the clean and hygienic water and the elegant and refreshing environment, it's a happy parent-child time that the whole family can enjoy. A moment of leisure amidst a busy trip~
At Paradise City, you can taste cuisines from around the world. This time, let's try the summer set menu at the high-end Japanese restaurant Raku!
Using seasonal summer ingredients like large yellow croaker, grilled lobster, and conger eel sushi, they prepare a sumptuous feast. It's both seasonal and full of sophistication.
How about ending the day with Paradise City's fountain show?! The fountain show offers a dazzling visual feast. Through the perfect combination of water flow, lighting, and music, it creates a unique and spectacular effect. The captivating visuals almost mesmerize the kids~🫣
For hotel breakfast, choose On the Plate. This high-end buffet restaurant gathers world cuisines, and the variety of food is incredibly rich~
Fresh ingredients and exquisite cuisine bring a sense of luxury to your Korean vacation~ And with such a wide selection, I believe no kid will be a picky eater here!
Did you know? Paradise City also has an indoor amusement park called Wonderbox! If you didn't have enough fun on the first day, seize the opportunity to make up for it while still at Paradise City. Whether it's rides or carnival games, Wonderbox has it all! At fixed times, you can also watch carnival performances. Make sure to let the kids interact with the performers and take the best photos together!
Let me share another little tip! If you buy a one-day free pass to Wonderbox and get hungry, you can go out and buy some snacks to recharge before going back in!
Unknowingly, it's the last night of the Korea trip. How about going to a game room where you can play with the family? Inside the Paradise Hotel, there is a game room called Play Lab, where you can play Sega games. One hour of free use is included per night's stay—this is a benefit you must take advantage of 👌
Besides game machines, you can also play pool, throw darts, and bowl. Playing with the family is sure to create the best memories.
Everyone forms teams; whoever loses has to clean up when they get back!
Four days and three nights are just too short… This place is recommended for those who want to experience Paradise City thoroughly!
PLATFORM, the art space at Paradise City, is a space that brings together classic works of world-class artists. Recently, PLATFORM is holding a cultural and artistic festival called 'Together,' aimed at helping children worldwide suffering from poverty realize their dreams.
I believe this exhibition visit will be a meaningful educational journey!
One of the fun parts of traveling is 'showing off,' right~🤔 #PART is Paradise City's concept store. From luxury market brands to Korea's trendy new rising brands, you can find everything here, covering clothing, beauty, home goods, and more. Next to #PART is the high-end children's shopping center #PART KIDS. Here, dress up your child as the trendiest kid on the block 😎
