🎒 Visit Tips for Families
Go on weekend mornings, 10–11 AM. After 2 PM lines get long — 30+ minutes is common. Strollers in Seongsu and Hongdae can be tricky because buildings are narrow. Bring a compact folding one.
Check if you need a reservation. The Iwako Eraser Workshop and Hangang Night View Tour are online-booking only. No walk-ins.
Closing soon this week: Momori (~9/16), Uma Musume (~9/20), Jeong Jin-un Photo Exhibition (~9/20), Apure (~9/20).
