Lotte World is home to one of the largest indoor theme parks in the world, making it a year-round favorite for visitors of all ages. The indoor park, called Adventure, spans four floors under a massive glass ceiling that floods the space with natural light. With so many rides inside, you never have to worry about the weather spoiling your day.

Step outside and you’ll find Magic Island, built on a lake and connected to Adventure by a bridge. The entrance drops you at one of the park’s most iconic photo spots, where you can capture the Lotte World Castle framed by the water.

Long lines are common for the big rides, but the Magic Pass lets you skip waits that can stretch up to two hours.

Address: 240 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul (서울 송파구 올림픽로 240)
Hours: 9:30am – 10:00pm
Admission:

  • Before 4:00pm – Adults ₩64,000 | Youth ₩56,000 | Child ₩48,000 | Baby ₩16,000

  • After 4:00pm – Adults ₩52,000 | Youth ₩45,000 | Child ₩37,000 | Baby ₩16,000

  • You can also get discounted tickets for children or if you bundle your Lotte World Ticket with entry to the Folk Museum.

Tips:

  • Enter through the underground entrance from Lotte Tower - then head to 2F. Here you can find lockers you can rent for the day to store your belongings and a uniform rental shop called Pixie. (And yes, many Lotte World guests do rent school uniforms for the day.)

  • I recommend going as early as you can. I would spend the morning hitting the bigger rides that will have very long wait times later in the day. This way, you can use your Magic Pass later in your visit to try the bigger rides again!

  • Around 12pm you'll notice the park becoming significantly busier. I recommend heading inside to cool off, and grab a snack. You can see the current, daily parade schedule here - but there is typically one held around 1:00pm. After grabbing lunch or some snacks and cooling off inside I would head over to the parade route about 15-20 minutes early if you want a good view.

  • 2 pm -I would do one more lap around the park, hitting all the rides you didn't get to yet! Because lines will be longer, it'll take you a while to finish this lap around the park

  • 7:00 pm - Around this time, during summer months, is when the sun typically begins to set in Seoul. I would try to time a ride on the Moonboats or on the Monorail during this time for some epic fairytale like views of Lotte World and Sokchon Lake. Afterwards, I would spend the rest of the night on Magic Island (the outdoor area of Lotte World), which feels truly magical at night!

Beyond the rides, the complex also has a shopping mall, luxury hotel, aquarium, and tons of food options, so it’s just as much about the atmosphere as the attractions.
