  • A nice theme park that is perfect for a rainy day. A large part of the park is indoors. I expected it to be bigger. So maybe it’s not something you can fill an entire day with.

  • Very fun place and lots of things to do and see. Great for the kids. It was very busy the weekend we went so wait times for popular rides were close to 2 hours! Decided not to ride those rides and stuck to the kids rides which were still 20-30 minutes. Due to the wait times, we didn't get to experience the more popular attractions. Food choices were good but not great. The atmosphere was probably the best part. Lots of people were dressed up and it was a great place for teens and families to hang out. Great location and easy to get to using the subway. Some advice, buy tickets in advance. There are discounts for locals so see if you can find someone local to purchase your tickets ahead of time.
  • A magical yet mysterious theme park! It is the world’s largest indoor theme park and it is well-connected to shopping malls, cinemas, restaurants, a luxury hotel, and an aquarium. It consists of a huge multilevel indoor theme park with an ice rink and an outdoor amusement park known as ‘Magic Island’. The indoor theme park has a good selection of rides ranging from gentle to thrilling whereas Magic Island consists of mainly roller coasters and thrilling rides. Apart from attractions, there are frequent parades and performances which take place in the indoor theme park with the appearance of adorable Lotte World characters. Lotte World theme park is an ideal place for a family day out and would recommend spending at least two days to fully enjoy most of the rides on both parks. I would personally recommend the Hot Air Balloon attraction that travels along with the ceiling located in the indoor theme park. The balloon ride allows visitors to have a great top view of the entire indoor theme park!
  • The theme park is pretty big with lots of rides and fully indoor, so you don't have to worry about the rain. Young children, in particular, would love it here as it's really catered for them. One regret I had was that I visited on a public holiday, so together with tourists, local Koreans and their families thronged this place. Wished that I had bought the Magic Pass to skip the queues as some rides, you will need to wait up to 2 hours long!
  • Love it! The indoor rides are more suitable for kids. Outdoor rides more for adults. It's definitely worth coming. Headband is a MUST ☺️ the view is amazing as well. Cooling weather~ Be prepared for the Long Q!!!
  • Had so much fun here! A place to go with your partner or kids. Plenty of family-friendly rides with a handful of "thrill" rides. Ambience and atmosphere was magical with plenty of locals renting high school uniforms to dress up and take pictures - we joined in this experience too! If you are looking for more thrilling rides would recommend Everland instead. Lotte World gives a more holistic family approach. Could easily spend a whole day here with the number of rides available. I used the Seoul Discovery Pass for this, be sure to note that redemption is at a separate booth.
