Lotte World

I visited Lotte World in Seoul on Christmas Day, and while it was a magical experience, it was extremely crowded due to the holiday. Most rides had wait times exceeding an hour, which required a lot of patience. Despite the long lines, the park itself is impressive and offers a unique experience with its combination of indoor and outdoor attractions. The indoor section, in particular, stood out as a highlight. Even though the outdoor weather was less than ideal, the indoor area provided a warm, comfortable environment filled with a variety of rides, entertainment, and activities suitable for all age groups, from toddlers to adults. This makes it a great destination for families, couples, and groups of friends alike. In addition to the attractions, Lotte World offers an abundance of dining options, catering to different tastes and preferences. Whether you’re in the mood for quick snacks, casual meals, or something more indulgent, you’ll find plenty of choices throughout the park. The souvenir shops are also worth mentioning, offering a wide selection of charming keepsakes to remember your visit. Overall, Lotte World delivers a fun and festive experience, especially during the holiday season, but it’s worth keeping in mind that it can get extremely busy during peak times. Planning ahead, arriving early, and possibly purchasing express passes could enhance your experience.

Went to Lotte World on Christmas Eve and it's pretty cool, though seems much more targeted at children overall (which is totally okay!) It was not too busy when we arrived which was good, we were able to walk around to see everything and went through the haunted house. The Christmas parade was very cute and the snow was a nice touch. It got super crowded at that point and it was difficult to move through the crowds to get to the exits. A lot of the claw machine games weren't working which was a bit frustrating.

Very fun park and not too expensive! I highly recommend buying the entrance in advance to avoid queues when entering the park. For the most popular rides you make a reservation and get assigned a time, so it's better to do it as soon as you enter the place. Some rides can get long queues. It's better to plan in advance which day and time to go. You won't get bored as you'll always find something to do. There are also plenty of places to eat. If you're thinking of renting a school uniform and aren't too sure of doing it, go ahead! Many teens and young adults wear them.

Absolutely amazing. This was the highlight of our trip. We only went on 4 or so rides, but enjoyed the performances a lot! The Street horror show was fantastic. The place is huge. Spent a whole day there and still didn't manage to explore it all. I'd happily pay twice what we did for this. I should add expect to wait an hour to three for rides. But this is typical in most theme parks these days.

Lotte World is a wonderful destination, especially for families with young children. I visited during the winter season, and while it was a bit cold, the cooler weather made the experience more enjoyable than visiting during the summer. My toddler loved this place and stayed until it closed, making the trip truly memorable despite a few challenges. The park is vibrant and well-maintained, but there aren’t many activities that toddlers can enjoy independently. Most rides require a parent’s accompaniment, but seeing my toddler’s excitement made it worthwhile. However, be prepared for long waiting lines, which can be a bit tiring. One important tip for families: if you’re bringing a toddler, buy their ticket at the same time as yours. We were hesitant at first, given our past experiences where our toddler couldn’t participate much at other parks. However, here, the kids’ ticket is worth it. If you skip buying it upfront, you’ll need to walk a considerable distance back from the theme park to the main ticket counter, which is quite inconvenient. Food options are somewhat limited, so don’t expect a lot of variety. For tourists, communication in English can be challenging, which adds a layer of complexity to navigating the park. Another confusing aspect was the ticketing process—you cannot go directly into the adventure park. Tickets must first be purchased at the Lotte World main entrance, which can be confusing for first-timers. One highlight is that you can get a rebate when paying with a Mastercard, so it’s worth using one for the discount. Overall, while there are some inconveniences, Lotte World offers a magical experience for families, especially for younger kids. It’s a great way to spend the day, and with proper planning, you can make the most of your visit!

The rides were amazing, thrilling and overall very fun. However it is recommended to get the magic pass as queues can go very long and they will just keep letting the people with magic pass go first, which will stop the queue.

Definitely one of the best experiences I had during my whole trip. Totally worth visiting! Like every park, the lines were long, but I still had a great time there. I went in the spring and it was a great choice, the view was amazing!!!

My family & i visit Lotte World and one of the attraction we look forward to is the hot air balloon. The system is that we have to que up for the ticket reservation, meaning not queing in line to ride it yet. So we joined the que for the 4pm reservation ticket at 3.17pm. After waiting for almost 1 hour in the reservation que, the female staff asks us how many person and she counted 5 of us. We can only ride the hot air balloon at 5.30pm - 6pm. We waited until the time slot and que back in to ride. The staff denied our reservation ticket as she said there is 6 of us. Meaning she counted my infant that im carrying in my carrier too. But the staff who assist with our reservation count as 5. So we did not think much of it as we did not purchase entry ticket for infants as it was free entry for her. The staff could not communicate in english and kept counting 1 to 6 to show that we are a group of 6, not 5. What an inconvenience and this situation has made us feeling astonished and upset. The staff even tried to resonate and said only 5 of us can ride the hot air balloon, so only 1 have to stay behind. We are tourists who come to your country to have our holiday with our love ones together. Do you think we can enjoy the ride knowing 1 of our family member is waiting alone for us to finish the entire ride? It is not our mistake it is their staff's mistake, no apologies were said by the staff and even tried to correct me by counting all of us again to prove that she is right. They did not even let us ride as a family when i tried to explain that my family and kid has already waited & looked forward to the ride. Honestly because of this sour situation i would not reccomend families to come as they are not customer centric. We will not return as this was a bad experience. Ps: staffs admit your mistake dont push the blame on customers especially if there is language barrier for tourists. Shame on the staff.
