| Description |
Lotte World is the place to be for entertainment and sightseeing in the center
of the city. It is a theme park filled with thrilling rides, an ice rink,
different kinds of parades, a folk museum, walk trails by the lake, and much
more. About 6,000,000 visitors come here every year, and about 10% of the
visitors are foreigners. The structure inside makes use of the natural sunlight,
and it is open for visitors 365 days a year, regardless of the weather.
In
order to have fun, you need to first have proper information. Lotte World is
divided into ‘Adventure’ inside the building, and ‘Magic Island’ outside beside
Seokchonho Lake. Lotte World Adventure has streets representing different
countries, with different kinds of facilities and souvenir shops. You can enjoy
fantastic parades, numerous films, laser shows, and foods of different nations,
even during holidays. On the other hand, Magic Island situated outside the
building has magic castle, thrilling high-altitude free fall amusement rides
that you can only experience outside the building, and the pleasant trail walks
around the lake. One of the major reasons tourists are attracted to Lotte World
is the amusement rides. The Gyro Drop and Gyro Swing are the top crowd pleasers
– you can free fall 70 meters, or taste the thrilling sensation of being inside
a tornado. There is even a sign for you to take your shoes off before you get
on, as they may come off during the ride. You can also take the flume ride, a
log boat that passes through the Jurassic Age, stay above a high-altitude wave,
and ride a Spanish pirate ship that swings at a thrilling 75 degrees. Besides
the thrill of its amusement rides, Lotte World also has a variety of parades and
laser shows. The 200 performers-strong World Carnival Parade has music, singing,
and dancing, and adds excitement to the theme park. The parade goes on at 2pm
and 7:30pm, and the laser show proceeds in the darkness at 9:30pm.
Once
you’ve been on the rides, try the ice rink and don’t miss out on visiting the
museum. The ice-rink is indoors on the B3 floor, open throughout the year. Its
pleasant atmosphere is perfect for family and couples. It opens from 10:30 to
22:30, and runs during the holidays as well. Its facilities include a
restaurant, ticket booth, snack bar, sports shop, skate rental service, and
change room. The Folk Museum, on the other hand, is the most popular spot for
foreign tourists. It has folk culture displays of 5,000 years of Korean history,
miniature villages, and a playground. Everything is organized to be fun and
easily understood. There are also audiovisual and miniature models to aid in
multimedia presentations.
