Where to bring teenagers in Seoul with low budget

Here are the places that I brought my siblings during Autumn season.
Most activities are relatively low cost or free:-

1. Lotte World
Fun-filled day packed with adventure activity.
From heart stopping roller coaster to slow adventure rides.
I would recommend checking in on weekdays after 4pm for more discount.
More discount applicable for teenagers under 18 years old.
Start with outdoor games (it ends until 6pm then continue to indoor until 10pm)

2. M! Net Concert
If these kids love k-pop, bring them to this free concert.
First-come-first-serve basis for the first 200 people.

Be warned : No video or picture taking during performance.
High adrenaline k-pop obsessed teenagers will  push and go hysterical if they spot their idol.

3. Cheonggye Stream river walking.
Teenagers loves to explore.
They have lots of energy to walk around.
Bring them to Cheonggye river stream starting point and walk towards the end.
To create more fun, pack some food along and back to the main square at night time.



4. Nami Island
Nami Island is not only for romantic couple, elders or K-drama fan.
There are a lot of activity involves in the beautiful island.
Cycling around the island is one of it.
Make sure to reach the place early to avoid long queue.

5. Gyeongbukgong Palace
Take pictures at the palace and catch the exchanging guard performance by the gate.
My teenage siblings does not really want to go inside the palace.
We just took pictures outside of entrance and watch performance by standing guard most.



6. Hongdae
Buzzing energy, lots of youngster with lots quirky cafes.
Bring them to coffee prince shop for k-drama fan or Hello Kitty Cafe for the girls.
Free amazing performance by the students along the street.

7. Ehwa Women University
Why do these kids wants to go to boring university?
They are on holiday.
Don't worry, where we went is outside, before the entrance of the university.
Lots of shops selling latest trendy clothes, bags, accessories etc at student price.
To be tactical, bring them inside the university in hoping that they will get inspired to study.

8. Namdaemun
For souvenir shopping.

9. Myeong-dong
Not for the low budget.
Shopping  place for medium range international brand like Uniqlo, H&M, Forever 21 and more.
Head over to SPAO store for K-pop fans.
Lots of k-pop merchandise are spotted, although I am not sure of the originality.

If these kids are not interested in shopping, just be there and absorb the fast crazy environment with sales people wearing costumes to attract customer or just people watching.
Great place to sample some street food.

10. Namsan Tower
Check out amazing view of Seoul town and drop by at the 'locks of love'.
Great picture taking activity.
