Lotte World overview
Lotte World at a glance
A Seoul park with the world's largest indoor theme park under one roof.
Lotte World joins a vast glass-roofed indoor Adventure zone with the outdoor Magic Island on Seokchon Lake, so it runs at full strength through Seoul's freezing winters. The Gyro Drop, Atlantis Adventure and a permanent ice rink sit directly above a subway station.
Our editor's recommendation
Worth a day, but build it into a wider trip rather than flying in for it. It ranks #33 of the 50 parks we score, at 7.0/10 with 40 rides and attractions and a typical visit of about 6 hours. Tickets run $39–$47 a day. The strongest reasons to go are its all-round consistency. The honest catch: tickets are expensive for what you get, and queues can be long. Best time to visit: Winter.
