Baby Shark The Experience: Unlock the Secret Ocean
An interactive family exhibition based on the global children's franchise Baby Shark, inviting visitors to explore a secret ocean through immersive play zones.
More in Seoul
You pick up a telephone, answer Baby Shark's questions, and an AI folds your answers into your own version of the song, in the style and instruments you pick. First, a camera at the entrance turns you into a shark character that later swims across the screens chatting with Baby Shark.
Seven zones and some 20 activities fill about 1,650 square metres of Museum Exhibition Hall 2, from Sharp-Tooth Village through the Deep Sea and Blue Hole to the Starlit Coral Forest. You tag a watch-style Star Band at each station and collect stamps in a paper Ocean Passport. Everything runs in Korean, English, Chinese and Japanese. If the song has lived in your head since 2016, this is where it takes your lyrics.
Money Today's reporter at the preview found plenty aimed at parents, and a couple with a five-year-old agreed. Open daily 10:00 to 20:00 (last entry 19:00), closed 20 October and 17 November. Tickets are 23,000 won from 24 months up, via NOL Ticket or KakaoTalk.
