Lotte World

The morning of our fourth and final day in Seoul was easy and comfortable for us. We wake up late mid-morning, checked-out from our hotel before lunch time and headed to do our last destination in the city - the Lotte World. Accessible to the metro trains via Jamsil station.

We decided to have an early lunch and saw Lotteria nearby. It seems to be a famous fast-food chain locally because we've seen a lot of these around the city so we gave it a try.


We ordered and was told to wait for our food in a table via this number. It is an electronic device that will light up once your order is ready to be served.


our food!


Then we proceeded to Lotte World.

At that time, we have our baggages but we were lucky that a stroller counter happily kept it for us and without a fee.


Further research revealed that Lotte World has the world's largest indoor park, recognized as a Guinness World Record.

There is also an outdoor amusement park called "Magic Island".


Outside, one can find a huge castle and lots of rides for adults. It seemed the indoor park is more family-oriented and outdoor park more for thrill-seekers.

Here are some photos of rides and around Magic Island. I did not go into any of the thrill rides as I have a problem with pulpitating heart and fear of heights.


.. well except the bump cars which are pretty much safe for me!

We then went back inside to go around and tried the rides and shows inside.

Before we left, we also entered an area where there was a butterfly garden and some flora and fauna in display.

As we approach the exit, we saw a band marching to the grounds and a parade show was held.


It was fun being at this theme park, but it was heartwarming to see these kids playing
around and happy. Brings back childhood memories!


And then it's time for us to leave. We went to collect our bags and immediately left the premises, heading to the airport.

As we exit and head to the airport, all of us were tired but it has been a fun day nonetheless. We took the train going to Gimpo Airport station and then the Airport Express going to Incheon International Airport.

The flight back to Manila departed as scheduled late that evening at 9:35PM, leaving behind us fun memories of a quick getaway to a city we fell in love with just by seeing the scenes in TV shows.
