This trip is planned to take my parents and child to Seoul Station, a three-generation journey that focuses more on the convenience of getting between activities.
Once you pick accommodation in the Myeongdong shopping district, you’ve already solved most of the shopping, dining, and daily needs. The convenience of the Myeongdong shopping district includes all kinds of trendy brand shops, K-pop, restaurants, and main-street vendors, and of course Olive Young everywhere you look.
For transportation, the Myeongdong shopping district is served by two main subway lines: the green Line 2 reaches Dongdaemun, Seongsu, Jamsil, and Hongdae, while the blue Line 4 goes to Namdaemun and Seoul Station, making it a true transit hub, so getting around is very convenient.
In February, temperatures in Seoul Station are quite low, these days it's almost always between -2 and -10°C, so to look after the elders and kids traveling with us, we planned many indoor activities to escape the cold.
#Lotte World Aquarium, Lotte World Tower, and Lotte World Ice Rink
Experience taking the subway to Jamsil Station, a one-stop indoor day trip with an aquarium, observation deck, and ice rink, perfect for staying warm indoors.
There are scheduled feeding shows at Lotte Aquarium that kids love, and the layout of the exhibits is well designed so it never feels crowded or uncomfortable. The animals are so cute and unusually friendly, they seem to interact with visitors in a really charming way.
Lotte World Tower is the sixth tallest tower in the world, the famous transparent floor is a good test of courage, and on clear days the endless city views are also very eye-catching.
Lotte World Ice Rink has a beautiful setting, it’s the best choice for enjoying indoor ice skating, and gloves are required for entry, if you don’t have any you can buy them on site.
Also highly recommend the Myeongdong NANTA Show, which is a specially scheduled indoor evening activity. It avoids discomfort from the cold at night, and it adds variety to your itinerary. The NANTA show is very famous, many friends who have visited Korea often mention it. This time our whole family from grandparents to kids experienced it together, and we even chose VIP seats to fully enjoy the performance. The 90-minute show never lags, and not understanding Korean doesn’t affect your enjoyment at all. The performers’ professionalism and the humorous interactive parts kept both the seniors and the children completely captivated and smiling the whole time. Highly recommended!
