Children’s Day comes just once a year, and you want to make it a day where your child’s laughter shines the brightest. We’ve gathered Jeju travel spots where kids and adults can make happy memories together— a train running through the forest, a hands-on space experience center, thrilling kart racing, and an easy oreum climb. In green, breezy May on Jeju, treat the whole family to a day you won’t forget.
A special theme park where you travel through the forest by train. A cute little locomotive connects four themed stations, so you can soak up nature without a ton of walking—perfect with kids. Because it’s a nature-forward ride, the scenery changes with the seasons; in May, it’s ideal for a relaxed break among lush green woods and spring flowers. There are plenty of activities too, like feeding animals.
A museum where Jeju’s history and culture come alive. Museums can feel a bit boring for kids, but here you’ll find a children’s museum designed at their eye level. With hands-on exhibits you can see, touch, and experience, kids can explore with real enthusiasm. Add an immersive media-art space that lets you “feel” Jeju, and you’ve got a surprisingly full day—even with free admission.
An oreum with gentle slopes that even kids can climb easily. The beautiful views start right from the entrance steps, so you’ll find yourself going up before you realize it. Walk along the crater ridge at the top and you’ll get sweeping views of Jeju’s eastern highlights—Hallasan, Seongsan Ilchulbong, and even Udo—at a glance. There’s little shade, so it’s best to go in the morning on a sunny day.
A place to meet the stars—something everyone loves. Experience a virtual journey through space in the 4D theater, and enjoy kid-friendly hands-on play in the exhibit halls. In the planetarium, admire mysterious stars in high resolution; in the observatory, you can even observe them directly through a telescope. With free main exhibits, it’s an even more welcome family outing spot.
An easy oreum to visit since you can drive almost all the way up to a parking lot near the summit. From there, it’s about a 5-minute walk to the top—famous for beautiful sunrises and sunsets alike. The views stretch out to Hallasan, Sanbangsan, Marado, and Gapado, drawing plenty of visitors. Just note: the road up to the summit is narrow and only one lane, so drive carefully.
A kart track with Korea’s longest racing course—1,947 m, the same number as Hallasan’s 1,947 m elevation. The thrill of slicing through the breeze is addictive for both kids and adults. There are also two-seater karts, so you can ride together with younger children. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a special Children’s Day activity—and online booking can be a bit cheaper.
A large-scale museum where you can experience aviation and space in one place. Real fighter jets and aircraft are on display, along with plenty to see and hands-on activities for kids—so time flies. With flight simulators, 4D films, and an indoor play area, two to three hours can easily pass in a flash. Don’t miss the 4th-floor café, which feels like stepping into a black-and-white illustration.
