Family Days Out in Jeju Island

By Helene Lydia - July 14, 2018

I think summer holiday is always about a balance between indoor and outdoor activities since it must be too hot to stay outside non-stop, so air-conned activities inside is a must☺️ Jeju Island in South Korea is one the destinations that offer both indoor and outdoor facilities for the visitors. Not to mention, most of the places are best fit for a family trip since it can fill up everyone's cup of tea. I know summer holiday is almost over, but it's never too late to pack your luggages now and catch the earliest flight to Jeju island! To save up your time in creating itinerary, here I've list down 3 destinations for your family days out in Jeju Island. Keep on reading to figure it out!😉

Who doesn't know Hello Kitty? Debuted in 1974, this fictional character is very well known all across the world including South Korea, and now she has her own 'house' in Jeju island. Hello Kitty Island in Jeju welcomes everyone to enjoy 'The Happiest One-day Trip in the World', as the website claimed. Even though its name is island, actually Hello Kitty Island is a permanent museum or exhibition dedicated to this cute little character.
Say hi to my Mum😛
You might assume Hello Kitty with all the pinkish attributes will only appeal for the girls, but Hello Kitty Island offers many interesting spaces and activities for the whole family. There are various exhibits about Hello Kitty around the world, Kitty History Hall, and Art Education Hall. Besides exploring and taking pictures, children can also have fun by watching 3D Theatre show about Hello Kitty and her friend and do activities at the Outdoor Modeling Gallery.
The cuteness attack will continue when you step into Hello Kitty Café on the 2nd floor. Cakes and beverages served with touch of Hello Kitty cuteness will definitely melt everyone's heart!
