    Before going to Dokdo, I went to an experience center with my child. I didn't even know that there was an experience center like this in the middle of Seoul, but I found out about it while searching for Dokdo. A scale model of Dokdo is also on display, and if you register on site, you can hear detailed explanations from the guide, making it a great place for children's education. It was fun to read and I learned a lot about things I didn't know because they explained everything about the creation process of Dokdo and surrounding Ulleungdo, the natural ecosystem, and history. If you solve a few quizzes, you will receive a small souvenir, and while viewing the exhibition room, you can have your photo taken and printed in the Dokdo Newspaper. It seems like the best educational place for a child. It's close to Seoul Station, so it's easily accessible, and it's a place worth visiting with children.

    I am not going to comment here on the merits or demerits of Dokdo's claims. However, I think it is admirable that a facility like this is built in the city center and is being promoted. Japan also claims that it is its own territory, but it is unclear whether they are really passionate about it. Apparently there is a Takeshima Memorial Museum in Japan, but it is managed by Shimane Prefecture. Not many people know about it, and not many people go to Shimane Prefecture in the first place. On the other hand, in South Korea, with government support, it is located in a shopping mall in the middle of Seoul. I have nothing but respect for that enthusiasm. But I think the most ideal thing is for the two countries to work together to protect the nature of this island and the sea.

    A model of Dokdo scaled down to 1/120 is created so you can experience the natural ecology, and the history museum is also explained in detail with factual records so you can understand it well without going to the site.

    It's really well decorated There are many friendly guides, so it would be a good idea to take your kids there at least once.

    I went there with my child~ I looked up the Internet in advance and went there, and the students' older sisters and brothers served as docents. That was impressive as well. Although it is not large in scale, it was an opportunity to think about Dokdo once again with meaningful content. There was also a group of foreign visitors, and it was cool to see them listening with serious expressions. I plan to visit again next time^^ If you listen carefully and answer the quiz about Dokdo, you will receive a gift. If you write a letter to the Dokdo Coast Guard and solve all the study materials provided, you will receive another gift. When I think about Dokdo again with my child, I worked hard~

    Hidden Hidden Hot Experience Center. Free admission, closed on Mondays, 4D movies and VR experiences 30 minutes past the hour, on-site advance reservation required. The children are very satisfied because there are games and experiences for them to enjoy. Even adults will feel the urge to visit Ulleungdo and Dokdo once they see them... Northeast Asian History Foundation, 5-minute walk from Exit 7 of Seodaemun Station on Line 5, next to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. No free parking, 1,000 won per 10 minutes.

    (Translated by Google) It is close to the public transport line Seodaemun Station and the bus stop, so the location is good, and Dokdo is our land.

    I had the opportunity to meet the beautiful and precious Dokdo. A precious place to experience the nature, history, and culture of Dokdo! They say they are relocating to the vicinity of Yongsan, so I look forward to an even newer appearance.

    My child and I studied the history and geographical features of Dokdo and the plants and animals that live there. It was a very useful time.

  • 5/5 Sangzin Ahn (. 2 years ago on Google โ€ข 15 reviews
    It's a great place to take kids because it's a free experience. They give out souvenirs when they solve the worksheets, and even though the level of difficulty is quite high, the children concentrated on solving them. The 4D video was of a high standard and the guide was very friendly. It is said that the location will be moved after the end of May 2022.

    The museum is difficult to find- it is located on B2 level inside Shinshege store - worth a visit- as a bonus there is also a small yeoungdeoungpo history museum plus an art museum. The art museum features art from local artists. Should expect to spend about 60-90 minutes. Both museums are free
