CHECK UPDATED BLOG POST HERE.
I love Korean kids cafes. These wonderful indoor playgrounds give children the opportunity to exercise while moms chat with friends or fellow mommies. Problem is, they’re hard to find unless you know Korean!
Not to say that my Korean is good—it’s practically next to non-existent. But I can read and write a bit—enough to actually get to the different kids cafes in Seoul. So I figured, hey, why not create a directory. Maybe it’ll be helpful to someone else, too.
So this particular post links to all those directories I’m referring to. Each place will have the basic details: their addresses (in Korean, since I wasn’t sure how to translate most of them, although I did translate the few that I could), their contact numbers, and either their official sites or blogs sharing photos of these places.
Now, there are a feeew problems you might encounter. One, for example, is that the place might have already closed down as I’m typing this sentence. The reason is simple enough: the turnover of places here are really fast. My husband explained that many businesses here that don’t do well for the first six months decide to just close shop instead of lose more money. What?! Learn more surprising (and some informative) stuff about kids cafes here.
Now, enough of my babbling and off to the reason you visited this page: the list! Start clicking away below to be directed to the pages you’d like to visit:

Now that you’re at the end of the post, I’d like to share some sites that I’m following that sometimes also post about kids cafes:
derekversuslonelyplanet.com–One of my favorite blogs to read. Though Derek is more a foodie than a parenting blogger, he has reviewed about a few kids cafes as well. I first discovered his blog while googling Pororo Park in Jamsil— one of my favorite posts about Pororo Park up until today! Simple, honest, straight to the point.
Another blog I follow is Exceptional Korean. I find her blog interesting because she writes from the POV of an adopted Korean now back in her motherland, a land people always associate her with though she’s technically American. She’s written about a few kids cafes, mostly reviews and pictures though.
Also, there’s Kids Fun In Seoul, every expat parent’s number one resource for fun stuff to do in Seoul! 🙂
I now also follow Lindsy Moran’s blog, which is about her life in Korea. I’m looking forward to more posts from her about what having a family is like here in Seoul.
Last but definitely not the least, if you want to discover more kids cafes like, RIGHT NOW, then you need to join “Kiddin Around Soko” on facebook. There’s at least one new kids cafe being shared every few days, and it’s a good place to ask any question you might have about these places. I’ve gotten much information about new places thanks to this group as well.
Thanks for visiting! Are there any other resources you’d like to recommend? Let me know in the comments section below! 🙂
