Taking kids on a trip can be challenging. Finding the best food in town to fill their bellies, like Korean street food, all-you-can-eat buffets, Korean fried chicken, cafe brunches and desserts. Also, think of fun activities for people of all ages to keep everyone busy.
If you’ve wanted to take your family to Seoul, here are ten things you can do to make it a trip to remember.

Seoul Land is the best place for a fun day out with the whole family. There are roller coasters, Viking rides, and shot-drop rides for thrill-seekers. There are rides like the slow-moving merry-go-round, and the bumpy water boat rides for kids.
PIM (Play In Museum)
PIM is a cafe for kids that you’ll wish had been around when you were young. It is situated in Banpo Hangang Park, with a clear view of the Han River.

The pools are significant and have great views of the Han River and the Bukhansan and Namsan mountains, which are behind Seoul’s riverfront. Six facilities, including the Ttukseom swimming pool, the Gwangnaru swimming pool, the Yeouido swimming pool, the Jam won swimming pool, the Yanghwa water park, and the Nanji water park, will start up again.
