More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Step off the subway into Jamsil and the city’s hum gives way to something louder: laughter, mechanical clatter and carnival lights that pulse against glass towers. Lotte World stretches across two very different faces — the indoor Adventure zone, a compact world of dark rides and family attractions, and Magic Island, an outdoor cluster of thrill coasters perched on an artificial islet that dares the wind.
