Lotte World

From the moment we entered Lotte World, the grand size of this amusement park amazed us. The sheer scale is impressive, with four spacious indoor floors and an expansive outdoor area that offered a vibrant mix of attractions. The colourful decorations, themed zones, and lively atmosphere made it feel like stepping into a whimsical wonderland. However, our excitement was tempered by some frustrations. Many of the popular rides such as the Atlantis were closed without prior notice, which was quite disappointing as we had been looking forward to experiencing them. The rides that were open were heavily crowded, and without purchasing the Magic Pass tickets, we found ourselves queuing for long stretches of time, often longer than the rides themselves. It quickly became clear that Magic Passes are almost essential if you want to make the most of your visit. On the brighter side, we were able to enjoy some of the shows and smaller attractions, and the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the day. The food stalls offered a variety of local snacks and treats, which gave us a chance to rest and take in the vibrant surroundings. Overall, while Lotte World left a memorable impression with its scale and charm, the experience would have been far more enjoyable had more of the signature attractions been operational and the queues been less daunting. Planning ahead and investing in Magic Pass tickets is highly recommended for a smoother, more thrilling day at the park.

Still one of my fav spots here in Seoul! Great rides and such a lively vibe there! My main targets were the Lotte Lorry parade and the gyro drop! No matter how many times I come back, it never gets old.

It is much larger than I expected. We had a lot of fun today and I would suggest anybody coming to Seoul to stop by. They have an amusement park outside and inside that are a lot better than they look at first glance. If you can afford the magic express pass, then I would suggest doing that if you come during the weekend. The lines are very long… Food wasn’t bad either.

Cute theme park inside a shopping centre in Seoul. It's very kid friendly and has a tonne of comparisons to Disneyland. The lines for rides are VERY long however. The Magic Pass is a MUST to skip the lines, otherwise you'll likely be waiting 2 hours for the best rides. If you can't get the magic pass, I would recommend skipping this all together, or going right when it opens and lining up for the main 3/4 rides ASAP.

The biggest scam ever for long time we experienced. Came at 3 pm and paid 130$ for 2 adults a 2 kids. Whole indoor park was so overcrowded that our kids could use any attraction without waiting 1h+ ridiculous. Sending here line for single attraction. Deeply not recommended place!!!!

Experience was alright there, but wait times were tremendously long, especially for the more thrilling rides, such as 2hours and 40 minutes for Phantoms Fury. Every ride had more than 30 minutes wait time. It is a good place to bring young kids here, but for those looking for a thrill, this is not a good place to go. When I went, it was raining so I did not manage to try the outdoor rides. Overall, it is a very beautiful place with many nice decorations, but I would not come back again.

lotte world was really cool. never been to an amusement park that’s both indoors and outdoors, and honestly it’s a pretty interesting concept. especially since we went in december and it was freezing. being able to go inside whenever we wanted was perfect. we went on a friday, so there were a lot of school kids, but it wasn’t too bad. we got there around 11 or 12 and stayed until about 7 or 8pm. there’s a good selection of rides and lots of food options, so it’s easy to spend the whole day there. one thing i didn’t like was the reservation system for some of the more popular indoor rides. it felt really weird for an amusement park. rides like viking were basically closed unless you had a reservation, even though there was no queue at all. while we were standing there, only like two or three people actually came through with reservations, and the ride wasn’t even full. i feel like they could easily have a normal queue plus a reservation or fast track system instead of blocking everyone out. size wise, it’s nice but it’s not huge. definitely not disneyland, thorpe park, or six flags level. it feels more like an amusement park than a full theme park, which to me are two different things. still fun, still worth visiting, just good to manage expectations.

Conviently located, variety of rides of different levels of thrill seekers. It was great that so much was indoors for the cold winter day. Food was surprisingly good considering it was a theme park and the parade was fun to watch. Expect wait times to be long for popular rides.
