Family Travel

In summer vacation, Gangnam family outings center on all-day indoor experiences and cool water play that beat the heat. SEA LIFE COEX Aquarium (40,000 sea creatures across 650-plus species) and the seven-floor Figure Museum W are weatherproof indoor family destinations (Trip.com, 2026), while KTOWN4U COEX and King Studio let kids try K-pop experiences such as vocal, dance, and album recording. Over the break, family programs at air-conditioned learning spaces — the National Library for Children and Young Adults, Motgol Hanok Children's Library, and the Customs Museum — draw crowds (Gangnam Public Library, 2026). Outdoors, the Ilwon Eco Park children's water playground opens free from late July to early August with a 5-meter slide to keep kids cool (Gangnam-gu Office, 2026).
