In 2024 we made our first trip to South Korea – since then, we’ve moved to China and guess what? Went back to South Korea for the July Summer Holidays. We also made another trip to Legoland Korea, and it was again, the highlight of our daughters vacation. Here is our updated tips and tricks for the best adventure your kids will love you for!
Is Legoland Korea worth visiting with kids?
Yes—absolutely! If you’re planning a family trip to Korea and wondering whether Legoland Korea is worth the time and money, this blog post is your ultimate guide. I’ll share our full experience from Seoul to the park, what we loved (and what could improve), tips for travelling with kids, and whether it lives up to the hype. Spoiler: It’s Awesome.
Think theme parks resorts are overpriced chaos? Think again.
If you’re a parent and haven’t considered taking your kids to Legoland while you’re in Korea, then you’re missing out.
Looking for an honest Legoland Korea Review to decide if this family-friendly destination is worth the trip, you’re in the right place. Legoland Korea isn’t just a place—it’s an experience that turns exhausted parents into heroes, bored kids into explorers, and LEGO bricks into lifelong memories.
Sound too good to be true? Trust me, I’m not exaggerating (we’ve been twice in the span of 2-years!).
Picture this: You’re standing on an island surrounded by LEGO-themed everything, your kids are squealing with excitement, you’ve got your backpack on and a coffee in one hand, and you’re ready for the stress that comes with a family day out?
BUT you are pleasantly surprised, because when you suddenly catch a glimpse of the LEGOLAND sign, you just know today is going to be AWESOME!
Here’s the truth: Legoland Korea isn’t just another family-friendly theme park in Korea. It actually does theme parks differently.
It’s a formula that works – well it did for our family and we do not regret making a special trip to Legoland for our little one! Because everyone enjoyed it.
Now you’re on LEGO Island (officially named Jungdo). You made it. Congratulations, you’re already a parenting legend.
This time around we decided to stay in Chuncheon (the nearest city). We took a quick Uber from our Hotel to the park and were standing at the gates 10 minutes from walking out the front door. We still trained from Seoul to Chuncheon, but got there a night earlier and checked out this cute lakeside city.
Our recommendation for accommodation if you’re not staying at Legoland, is the Jackson9 Hotel. It’s super close (just over the bridge) from the Park and central to all the good things in Chuncheon (like coffee).
Tickets for Legoland are cheap. As little as $16 USD will buy you a whole days pass to Legoland Korea. Hours for the park are generally from 10am – 5pm and entrance and all rides are included in your day pass.
2026: We brought our tickets on trip.com from China a week before visiting. We use Trip.com for all our travel booking, across Asia. It’s the most reliable (especially if you’re living in China).
After a day of fun at Legoland Korea, why not extend the adventure by staying at the Legoland Hotel?
This whimsical hotel is designed with LEGO at the centre of everything. So much so, I was surprised the beds weren’t made of LEGO. This retreat will help make the magic of Legoland last a little bit longer.
I won’t lie though, the Legoland Hotel is overstimulation turned into an art form. It’s a LEGO lover’s dream on steroids. From the minute you arrive, you are met with lifesize “minifigures”. The colourful exterior stands out against the natural landscape and it feels like everything is larger than life. The Legoland Hotel is just to the left of the Legoland Park entrance.
The hotel on the whole is a very reasonably priced stay, that offers a lot in return. Here are some of the highlights that stood out for us:
We stayed 2 nights, and it cost in total: ₩575,046 ($388 USD – $668 NZD). This included buffet breakfast both mornings and we brought a good deal where day passes were included.
2026: This time round we opted not to stay at the park, but were travelling with friends from China. They had never been to Legoland, so opted to stay there instead. Their feedback was the same as ours, it has the best kid’s themed hotel and they’re glad they got to experience it (even if they were all a little overstimulated by the end of it).
Think “theme park food” means soggy fries and regrets? Not here.
The breakfast buffet is an all-you-can-eat delight, made up of equally tasty western and asian cuisine. My personal favourite was the make-your-own bibimbap station, but if you and the kids like a more traditional bacon, eggs and pancakes, they have that too.
Pro tip: Get there early to avoid the late-morning rush. We ate at the restaurant about 9am, and it was emptying out, which meant a lot of dirty tables. BUT staff were quick to get around and clean, so we were seated fairly quickly.
Throughout the park food is pretty good. We opted to eat in the medieval/castle part of the park, opting for fried chicken, chips and some burgers (your typical western food). We were pleasantly surprised it tasted pretty good. Of course it was lego themed.. we’re talking square burgers, which was different, but everyone was pretty satisfied with their meals.
2026: This time around we opted to eat the foodcourt in Lego City. This has excellent Korean food and we shared a curried chicken cutlet meal (they’re huge by the way). Kai’s Apple Fries were also open and OMG if I dream about food, it will be these apple fries. Get the ones served with cream and ice cream, they are truly memorable.. (drooling..).
Forget the crowds, the overpriced food, and the stress of most theme parks. Legoland Korea gives you:
The best part for us though? A scavenger hunt where we collected stamps around the park and won free LEGO. Who doesn’t love more free stuff?!
2026: We were there for summer, so no halloween hunt BUT all is not lost because they had the water fun park open!
Pack your kids togs, because after a hot day exploring the park, what better way to cool off and chill out than at a splash pad designed just for kids.
Let’s get real for a second. Legoland Korea isn’t just about rides, food, or even LEGO. It’s about family.
Traveling with kids is hard, but places like this remind us why we do it.
I think the the best part of our trip to Legoland, was our 4yo coming home and recanting all the adventures details to her friends and families.”Best parents EVER!”
Overall, I think while this park is located in Korea, it does cater to English speakers. Most staff have a good command of English and signage and pamphlets have English versions available. I’d avoid going on a national holiday if you’re not a fan or lines.
Would I go back? Absolutely. Here’s why:
So if you’re sitting there, wondering if it’s worth the trek, here’s my advice: Just go.

🇰🇷 Planning a trip to Korea? Don’t get stuck without the right tools for the best family trip! From the best e-sim mobile plans to the only booking site we use when travelling overseas, we have listed everything in our toolkit:
Legoland Korea is located on Jungdo Island in Chuncheon, about 1.5–2 hours from Seoul by train. It’s connected to the mainland by a bridge and has its own shuttle bus from Chuncheon Station.
Prices vary by season and day of the week. For 2 nights, we paid approximately $700 NZD which included buffet breakfast and park entry for 1 child and 2 adults.
Ticket prices can vary based on season and age, so best to checkout the most up-to-date prices below.
Yes! There are toddler-friendly rides, themed playgrounds, and Duplo play pits. The hotel also offers a 24/7 playground and shallow swimming pool perfect for little ones.
2026: The splash pad is also great for small kids. It is a collection of sprinkling water and a bucket waterfall.
Avoid Korean public holidays and weekends for the shortest lines. We visited during Halloween, which added extra LEGO-themed festivities. Spring and autumn are best weather-wise.
2026: We visited in summer, a month before Korean school holidays – which meant the park wasn’t busy, but were getting ready for their busy season. I have seen that Legoland Korea is not attracting as many people as they predicted when opening, but they do still have busy times and summer holidays is one of them.
Surprisingly, yes! Most rides accommodate adults, the hotel is an experience in itself, and there are plenty of quiet spots, good food, good coffee and fun for all ages. Parents will enjoy the low-stress atmosphere.
Yes, it’s doable! Take the ITX (intercity train) from Cheongnyangni Station in Seoul to Chuncheon Station, then hop on the free shuttle to the park. The total travel time is around 2 hours each way (but the park opens at 10am so leaving on an 8am train is doable).
Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City are some of Beijing's must see attractions. But they're…
