🏙 Let’s Play in Seoul! Comparing the Top 3 Popular Places
This year, Seoul has prepared a variety of programs for Children’s Day like never before! Here are the top 3 hot places I personally explored 😉
🎪 Gunja Children’s Grand Park is hosting the trending ‘Character Garden Festival’ where popular characters decorate the entire garden, making it a well-known photo spot. Especially, the ‘Creative Playground’ operated at Seoul Plaza is filled with various experiential programs that spark children’s imaginations!
🏛 The National Museum of Korea presents a perfect combination of culture and play, from musical performances to fascinating bubble shows! The stereotype of museums being boring is a big NO! It’s packed with spaces where kids can joyfully play.
🏯 At Gyeongbokgung Palace, a special ‘Changing of the Guard Ceremony’ will take place. This magical show where tradition meets modernity will offer children a unique experience. It’s the perfect spot to combine learning history and having fun!
🌷 Spring Flowers and Magic at Cheongnamdae in Chungbuk
Now, let me introduce you to the ‘Spring Flower Festival’ at Cheongnamdae in Chungbuk, which is just as hot as Seoul! This place is particularly popular among family tourists 😊
Professional magicians will perform special shows for kids, and there will be family sports competitions allowing parents and children to enjoy together! There are numerous photo zones filled with spring flowers, making it a great place to capture photos for social media. You can find plenty of last year’s event pictures by searching with the hashtags #Children’sDay #Cheongnamdae~
🙏 Special Experience Programs at Cheondogyo Central Church
Don’t underestimate religious places! Cheondogyo Central Church will also host a Children’s Festival this year.
Various rides and experiential booths will be set up, particularly rich in traditional cultural experiences like trying on Hanbok and traditional play experiences to provide children with unique memories.
Most programs are free, making it a budget-friendly option. Moreover, it’s indoors, so it won’t be affected by the weather. It’s a great choice for a backup plan on a rainy day 😊

Most events start at 10 AM, but times vary by location, so be sure to check the official website!

Gunja Children’s Grand Park and the National Museum of Korea have ample parking space, but parking around Gyeongbokgung is limited, so I recommend using public transportation.

Simple snacks, water, spare clothes, and a camera should be enough. If special experience programs are available, instructions will be provided at that location.
Q4. What happens if it rains?
Indoor event venues (National Museum of Korea, Cheondogyo Central Church) are unaffected by rain. Outdoor events may be canceled in case of rain, so please check by phone.

✍️ Epilogue: The Special Gift of Children’s Day
Last year on Children’s Day, I took my two kids to see the Changing of the Guard Ceremony at Gyeongbokgung. Watching them sparkle with excitement made me realize the importance of such events.
Nowadays, kids spend a lot of time on smartphones and computers. But I hope that on Children’s Day, they can enjoy authentic ‘child-like’ experiences through special activities.
This year, I plan to go to the Cheongnamdae Spring Flower Festival and my kids are already looking forward to it 😊 I wish you all valuable time with your families!
PS. The event venues may be crowded, so prepare in advance. Especially when taking group photos with kids, be sure to keep an eye on your surroundings! Creating memories is great, but safety is the priority~ 😉
