In Korea, May is celebrated as the Month of Family.

With special days like Children’s Day and Parents’ Day, it’s the perfect time to create meaningful memories with your loved ones.

If you're planning a family outing this May, Aqua Planet Ilsan in Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province is a great choice to consider.

This is the largest integrated aquarium in the Seoul metropolitan area, where you can encounter both marine creatures and land animals all in one place.

At Aqua Planet Ilsan, your admission gives you access to three themed zones: 

The Aqua – The main aquarium where you can explore underwater wonders including walruses, jellyfish, sharks, and rays.

The Jungle – An indoor jungle safari-like experience featuring animals such as lemurs and parrots.

The Sky Farm – A charming rooftop petting zoo on the fifth floor where you can meet adorable farm animals in the open air.

This all-in-one setup makes it a fantastic value, especially for families looking to enjoy a full day of discovery and fun.

What sets Aqua Planet Ilsan apart is the variety of interactive experiences. Kids can watch special performances, join guided ecological programs, and even feed or touch some of the animals. It’s a rare chance for children to connect with nature and learn about the importance of life and the environment in an engaging, hands-on way.

Photo zones are also scattered throughout the venue, making it easy to capture and remember your family’s joyful day.
