Tricia T
★★★★★4 months agoIt was unbelievable how incredible this place is. With 4 levels of various actitivites to engage the children, you're bound to find many that the child likes. You can easily spend a whole day there. B1 was about books, space, workshops 1F was about light and shadows, shapes and movements 2F was about environment, energy, and has a lounge 3F was water play and camping There is also a park surrounding the museum, which was a good option for a nice stroll.

★★★★★4 months agoPrice is reasonable, think we spend around 12,000 won for three pax including child. Facilities are very kids friendly. They have nursing room for below age 3 and family lounge facilities. Most/some exhibits have English translation which makes it easier to understand. Pretty crowded on a weekend. Overall our little one had a great time here. Can consider coming if you have a kid 6 and below.
