Nexon Computer Museum — Attraction in Jeju

Visiting was a trip down memory lane, seeing and playing ganes I haven't seen since my childhood in the eighties, and sharing them with preteen kiddo was a memorable treat on an otherwise dull rainy day. I also thought the offered in person hands on exhibits (like translating your name to binary or rollers to move a mouse cursor through increasingly challenging mazes for example) and workshops were fantastic, but just a note: if you want your child to participate in a handson workshop, you have to signup and pay in advance (I understood this to be online, like the tickets for the museum need to be purchased, but it wasn't something we realized was possible until we saw an instructor starting with maybe 5 kids, and lots of extra spaces... so that was my one disappointment).

The museum is a really interesting and entertaining space, and I expect the need to purchase tickets online is to make sure it never becomes so crowded that visitors don't get ample time to play the games they want to revisit or try out. I was honestly impressed by the tech layout and mostly full English explanations throughout, at a place I originally expected to just mildly interest minecraft-fan kiddo. Worth a visit if too hot or cold or rainy to be...

Fantastic museum with a lot of historic computers and arcade games/games consoles etc. Lots of hands-on and interactive exhibits. Kids will love the many arcade and console games that you can play for free, and for a small fee there are other activities such as building your own mouse that you can take home. Almost all the displays are in English as well as Korean. Many of the displays have QR codes for an audio description, with most of them English as well as Korean. The museum takes up 4 floors, with each floor having a particular topic, and there is a small shop on basement level with various merchandise for sale. This museum is highly recommended for people of any age with an interest in computers or computer games, and is very family friendly. Bookings are compulsory, even for 1 person. Book on their website if you have an 010 mobile number, or you can email them and they reply...

OMG! I am not a geek but the place is AWESOME!

All the evolution of computers, games and handphones.... Provide us just enough displays to reminisce about our younger days. How these technologies evolve from being a luxury item to now becoming something we cannot part in our daily lives.

Yes you can imagine all the fun we had in our younger days with all the Nintendo games. And yes! They actually have lots of them there for you to play! 2 hrs is not enough if you intend to go there.

Finally it is not only about the journey to the past but what we have and what technology can do now. All there for you to see and hands on.

A definite must go! Pls give yourself at least 3...
