#1 JAGALCHI MARKET<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just as Tokyo is famous for the Tsukiji Fish Market, one of Busan\u2019s most popular attractions has got to be Jagalchi Market. Jagalchi Market is situated at the edge of Nampo Port in Busan and it is South Korea\u2019s largest fresh seafood market. Here, your children can get up close and personal with plenty of live seafood and also have a go at selecting their own meal.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re concerned about using strollers in Jagalchi Market, rest assured that the walkways are sufficiently wide so this would be a non-issue for you. Communication-wise, most of Jagalchi Market\u2019s store owners speak simple Mandarin so you don\u2019t have something else to worry about on top of looking after your children.<\/p>\n

#2 MUSEUM 1\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located in Centum, Busan, MUSEUM 1 prides itself as South Korea\u2019s largest multimedia art museum which comprises approximately 80 million LED lights on the floor, ceiling and walls of its large duplex space.

<\/a><\/p>\n

Whilst the lights and screens will be sure to entertain your children for a substantial period of time, do bear in mind that some of the themes in the artworks here may be more appropriate for an audience which is slightly more mature.<\/p>\n

#4 GAMCHEON CULTURE VILLAGE\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even if you haven\u2019t been to Busan before, you would probably have sighted some pictures and videos of Gamcheon Culture Village.

<\/a><\/p>\n

Located on the eastern side of Songdo Beach, the Songdo Cloud Trails (also called the Songdo Skywalk) is a skywalk fitted with glass floors that spans across 365 metres in length.

One of the best ways to enjoy the views of Songdo Beach is to take a ride in the Songdo Marine Cable Car (or also otherwise known as the Busan Air Cruise). This is a 1.62km long cable car route which not only gives visitors a view of the Songdo Beach, Yeongdodaegyo Bridge, Namhangdaegyo Bridge, Songdo Coastal Dullegil Road and road cliffs from a height of 86 metres.<\/p>\n

#8 JEONPO CAFE STREET<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeonpo Cafe Street is exactly as it name suggests\u00a0\u2014 alleys lined with various restaurants, dessert shops, and coffee joints. If your children are avid fans of food and are up for an adventure, they will find delight in exploring the wide range of eateries with different themes, and in popping into a souvenir shop or too.<\/p>\n

Allthough Jeonpo Cafe Street is in itself child-friendly, do note that you may need to climb stairs to access some restaurants. Also, as this area is popular with youths and young adults and it may be difficult for you to get around with a stroller in the early evening. For a more comfortable experience, you may wish to pop by Jeonpo Cafe Street on a weekday and in the earlier part of the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
