Kidzania Busan — Local services in Busan

Read this before going: We couldn't buy tickets in advance without a Korean number but right before Korean summer vacation we just simply walked in on a weekday.

Bring passports (kids) they asked to see the 3 year olds passport (so at least have an image of it) Bring or wear long pants - so you can slide down the pilot airplane. They wouldn't lend us any pants so the kids walked down. Wear close toed shoes - if you plan to climb up the climbing wall for explorer The bank and department store opens right before the end of the sessions (2pm ish and 6pm ish) so if you want to create a bank card or shop, go at that time. The department store only has items 80 and up. In order to drive the Kia car, you must obtain a driver's license first. Don't just sign up for the driving, they won't let you. Certain jobs cost money like making a burger and getting a driver's license and driving a kia. Since you can only reserve one job and must finish the experience before reserving another, you need to cancel something before you choose another. To cancel, you can use any kiosk.

Other things to note: they said outside food is prohibited but we saw plenty of locals bringing bentos. Food options inside are limited to Korean stuff that my kids won't eat. Do we went to Lotteria to make a burger for lunch. That worked out fine. The mayonnaise factory made a strange wrap that was not tasty. We have yet to try to ramen we made.

Go for the full day, the adults cost the same and the kids cost just 10k more. Instead of 3pm we stayed till 7pm. Towards 7pm it was so empty that we basically just did whatever jobs we wanted again and again.

I don't think there's another kidszania as easy as Busan. Before summer holidays there were barely anyone there. There was a rush around 1-3pm and people running to stations stressed me out a little but other than that everything was availalbe. Certain things only opened at 5pm like baby care and 4pm for the police. Maybe because the attendance of low? While the kids are inside you can go around and check all the availalbe times.

We enjoyed doing the firefighter a lot and we loved the HD submarine one that is new. We basically did both of those 4-5 times.

Don't miss the caramel popcorn, it was actually really really good.

Leaving and re-entering is allowed so I even got some shopping done while the kids are inside. Basically they educate and babysit your kids for 20 minutes each session. How nice.

A lot of the staff could speak some English and the kids had a blast regardless of the language barriers.

Highly recommend Kidszania Busan. Staff was all...

We’ve been to 6 Kidzania’s around the world and this is probably the worst in terms of the queue system. First off, 60% of the stations were closed and never opened for the 10:30-3:30 time slot. So no one could do those jobs. This also meant that every single job required you to reserve with your bracelet. At other kidzania’s, while you waited for your next reserved desired job , you could do some minor less in-demand jobs by waiting in line. Can’t do that here at all. This means that you’re sitting around for up to a 1:30 doing nothing because you cannot reserve two jobs at the same time. Terrible. In the 5 hours we were here, we got to do only 4 jobs. That’s awful. In Hanoi and Tokyo and Singapore, we averaged 9...

Great experience! My kids absolutely loved trying out all the different jobs available. My kids don't speak Korean, but the staff were very good about trying to include them in each activity....some of which needed little actual instruction. My kids' favorite activity, odd as it may sound, was making salads at the salad bar. They both had a great time and the price was quite reasonable for it being such an elaborately decorated place. I would definitely...
