Quick answer

  • Lotte World Adventure: park-only 1-day ticket ₩64,000 for adults (19+), ₩56,000 for ages 13–18, ₩49,000 for ages 3–12. After 4 p.m. it's ₩52,000 for adults. Mostly indoors.
  • Seoul Sky (Lotte World Tower): ₩33,000 for ages 13+ and ₩29,000 for ages 3–12. The observatory is about 500 m up; the Sky Bridge tour costs extra, has height, weight and age limits, and is best booked online in advance.
  • Same station: both are at Jamsil Station (Lines 2 and 8). Both close ticket sales and entry one hour before closing — and hours change by day.

A park-only day ticket for Lotte World Adventure costs ₩64,000 for adults (19 and over), and Seoul Sky, the observatory in Lotte World Tower next door, costs ₩33,000 for anyone 13 and over. Both are at Jamsil Station in southeast Seoul, so you can do the theme park and the view in one day for ₩97,000 per adult. Hours change by day, and both stop selling tickets one hour before closing.

Watch the age bands: an "adult" is 19 and over at Lotte World Adventure but 13 and over at Seoul Sky. A 15-year-old pays the youth price at the park and the adult price at the tower.

Lotte World Adventure tickets

There are two kinds of ticket. The park ticket covers the park and its rides (not paid extras such as game arcades). The combined ticket adds the Lotte World Folk Museum (last museum entry 18:00).

TicketAdult (19+)Youth (13–18)Child (36 months–12)Baby (12 to under 36 months)

  • After 4 tickets let you in from 4 p.m. On a day the park closes at 21:00 or 22:00, that's five or six hours.
  • Babies: under 12 months get in free, with the infant rides. From 12 months to under 36 months, park entry is free (except for group visitors), but the baby ticket is needed for the designated infant rides. From 36 months, the child fare applies. Bring an ID or document that shows the child's age.
  • 65 and over pay the regular child price, the park says, with no other discounts on top.
  • Disability: 50% off the park or combined ticket for the visitor and one companion, with official proof.
  • Combined tickets need a physical ticket. The park says a screenshot on your phone isn't accepted — if you buy online, check with the seller how to collect it.

Magic Pass: skip the queues (extra cost)

The Magic Pass gets you into a dedicated line for five rides (you may still wait a little, some rides can only be used once, and some attractions are excluded). It's sold only in the Lotte World app, in limited numbers each day, and it doesn't include admission — you still need a park or combined ticket.

Magic Pass (5 rides)Price
Light₩54,000
Standard A₩65,000
Standard B₩65,000
Premium₩80,000

  • When to buy: all types go on sale in the app from 08:30 on the day. Only Premium can be booked ahead, from midnight two days before your visit until 23:59 the day before.
  • Limits: up to 4 per person, one pass per rider. Each type covers a different set of rides, so check the list before you pay.
  • Refunds: an unused same-day pass can be cancelled for a full refund within 2 hours of purchase. Once you've used it on a ride, or after 2 hours, there's no refund. Premium passes booked ahead can be cancelled until 23:30 the day before.

Hours, weather and ride closures

Lotte World Adventure's opening hours change by date. On the days we checked it opened at 10:00 and closed at 21:00 (Thu Oct 29, 2026) or 22:00 (Fri Oct 30 and Sat Oct 31). Ticket sales and entry end one hour before closing, and the opening time can shift with crowds at the gate.

  • Magic Island is outdoors. Some rides there may stop when it's 0°C or colder, 30°C or hotter, windy, or raining — the park lists 0.2 mm of rain as one trigger.
  • Rides close for maintenance on set days. The park's calendar lists which rides are closed each day — check it if there's one you came for.

Local tip: On a cold or rainy day, plan around the indoor Adventure area under the dome, and check Magic Island ride status once you're inside.

Park rules worth knowing

  • No alcohol, no pets (guide and assistance dogs are allowed), no drones, and no picnic mats — a one-person cushion or folding chair is fine.
  • The whole park is non-smoking except the designated smoking room.
  • No rides after drinking.

Seoul Sky tickets

Seoul Sky sits at the top of Lotte World Tower — 123 floors and 555 m tall. The observatory is about 500 m up. It also has an outdoor terrace on the 120th floor (486 m) and a glass-floored Sky Deck (478 m).

  • Where to buy: online, on mobile, or at the ticket office.
  • Under 36 months get in free with a guardian — bring proof of age.
  • Timed tickets: if your ticket has an entry time, be at the observatory by that time.
  • No copies or screenshots of tickets are accepted.
  • The aquarium package must be used on the same day for both places.
  • Disability: 30% off for the visitor and one companion, with official proof.

Seoul Sky hours

Seoul Sky opened at 10:30 on the days we checked, closing at 22:00 (Thu Oct 29 and Mon Nov 2, 2026) or 23:00 (Fri Oct 30 and Sat Oct 31). Ticket sales and entry end one hour before closing. The calendar on the official site shows each day's hours.

The Sky Bridge is a guided walk on a bridge at the very top, 541 m up. It's a separate ticket:

Where you buyPriceIncludes
B1 ticket office₩130,000Observatory admission, the tour and 2 photos
117F Sky Station (already inside)₩106,000The tour and 2 photos

Source: Seoul Sky — Sky Bridge prices and Sky Bridge tour (Korean); checked Oct 29, 2026. The winter closure notice is on the tour page.

  • Booking: online booking opens one month before and can't be used for the same day. Seoul Sky recommends booking online in advance; on the day, the B1 and 117F counters sell only places left over from online sales.
  • Who can go: height 140 cm or more and weight under 120 kg. On age, the operator's page gives two versions — its summary box says 14 and over, while its notes say 12 and over, with a legal guardian's consent needed under 14 — so confirm the age rule when you book. Up to 12 people per tour.
  • It's a climb: the route includes stairs from the 121st floor up to the bridge, about 50 m vertically. The operator says it may refuse people who have been drinking, and lists pregnant women, people with heart, blood-vessel or spinal disc conditions, older visitors and people with limited sight among those the tour is restricted for.
  • It closes in winter. The Sky Bridge tour page announces a winter closure from November 30, 2026, to February 28, 2027 (the observatory itself stays open). The price page still shows last winter's dates, so check the operator's latest notice before you plan.

Before you go

  1. Check that day's hours on both official calendars — they change by date.
  2. Arrive at least one hour before closing — that's when ticket sales and entry end.
  3. Want the Magic Pass? Open the Lotte World app at 08:30 on the day — it can sell out.
  4. Want the Sky Bridge? Check the height, weight and age limits, book online ahead if you can (same-day places are only what's left on site), and note the winter closure from Nov 30, 2026, to Feb 28, 2027.
  5. Buying a combined ticket? You need a physical ticket — a screenshot won't work.

FAQ

How much is a Lotte World ticket?

A 1-day park ticket is ₩64,000 for adults (19+), ₩56,000 for ages 13–18 and ₩49,000 for ages 3–12. From 4 p.m. it's ₩52,000, ₩45,000 and ₩38,000. A combined ticket with the Folk Museum costs a little more (₩67,000 for adults).

How much is Seoul Sky?

₩33,000 for ages 13 and over and ₩29,000 for children from 36 months to 12. Under 36 months are free with a guardian. The Sky Bridge tour is extra: ₩130,000 including admission, with height, weight and age limits.

What time does Lotte World close?

It changes by date. On the days we checked, it closed at 21:00 or 22:00, and ticket sales and entry ended one hour earlier. Check the calendar on the official site for your date.

Is Lotte World indoors?

Mostly. The main Adventure area is under a glass dome. Magic Island is outdoors on Seokchon Lake, and some rides there can stop in cold, heat, wind or rain.

Is the Magic Pass worth it?

It costs ₩54,000–₩80,000 for five rides on top of your ticket, sells only in the app from 08:30 on the day (Premium can be booked ahead), and sells out. It's worth it if you're there on a busy day and want the big rides without long waits.
