I went on a date to Lotte World with my beloved son. It was convenient because I could enter right away with a QR code without having to go to the reception desk. I think I should go on another date with my daughter later. When I got home, my son said he had so much fun that he was excited to sleep with his dad. It made me feel warm^^

I previously went to Lotte world a year ago and hard a dissapointing experience with the lack of rides, but this time around I had an amazing time doing everything I wanted. I highly recommend giving it a second chance if the first time you didn’t enjoy your experience.

You can use it immediately after buying it before entering the venue, which is almost 500 won cheaper than the on-site ticket price of 61,000 won.
