Really great deal for the price. We stayed from opening to closing. We went during a weekday so it was really quiet, so very short line ups for the rides. The water shows were fun as well. Go during the weekend if you want more rides since many were closed when we went due to low attendance.

it was really fun! Easy to find with big sign out on the street. I arrived a bit late but they still let me slip into the class. My instructor Kattie helped me catch up by explaining the moves I missed during break. And everyone had great energy! Can’t wait to see the editted video!

Photos were on the wall of different well-known celebrities that had also made their rings here . I completed this activity with my mom and both of our rings turned out beautifully. The staff was patient while my mom took her time to decide which design she wanted. They were able to instruct us in English as well as Korean and made sure that our rings turned out beautifully along with their help, the rings looked professional and were worth it. This was a great experience that I would recommend.

It’s my first time visiting this salon. Came with no expectation but the lovely staffs exceed mine with excellent service and of course I appreciated my hair was being treated by Ms Soo A. She is meticulous from the start of helping me to choose my hair color and the hair cut was amazingly good. Thanks to the great team and I highly recommend this place if you like to enhance your trip with a good hair cut and treatment. :)

This perfume-making experience was a perfect 10 from start to finish. The process was incredibly fascinating and relaxing, and it was very easy to follow since it's a self-guided experience. The staff were also extremely polite, professional, and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Seoul who is looking for a unique experience.

The staff was very attentive, and the translator was also very good. Overall, the colorimetry and body shape analysis is good; it's not an in-depth exploration, but it serves as a good foundation. They also recommended products I could buy and provided printed guides of what they explained.

Renting shoes here was the absolute best decision! It was supposedly an easy trail on Mount Gwanaksan, but it was still a genuinely tough climb (haha). Thanks to renting shoes here, I didn't slip, didn't hurt my ankles, and was able to climb safely. Above all, the staff were so kind and spoke Japanese, which made it worry-free to use. The facility is also conveniently located right by the subway exit before you even go above ground, making it very easy to find. Plus, it's clean! You can use lockers for free, there's a changing area, and I highly recommend it for travelers ^^

I was lucky enough to have a solo lesson and I couldn’t be happier. Naomi is so kind and a great teacher. I feel like I learned a lot about the recipes and cuisine in Korea as a whole. Definately recommend.
