Jeju indoor attraction for kids: Figure Museum Jeju

What can you do indoors with children on a hot day?

During a Jeju trip with a heat-wave advisory in effect, I visited Figure Museum Jeju (피규어뮤지엄제주) near our accommodation. We arrived at a relaxed pace after brunch, looked around the figures with the children, and took photos using the props. Because the exhibits are indoors, it was a good way to spend time away from the heat.

What are the hours, parking, and admission process?

Figure Museum Jeju is at 243 Hanchang-ro, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo. The hours listed in the source are daily from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with last admission at 5:30 PM. There was a large parking area.

When we entered the building, Toy Story figures greeted us. Seeing familiar characters from the entrance onward caught the children’s attention.

We paid at the counter, put on wristbands, and went inside. At the time of our visit, the Jeju Tour Pass could also be used.

What figures and photo spots are on the first floor?

At admission, we received masks according to the number of visitors. The children enjoyed choosing and wearing them themselves. In front of Doctor Strange, whom we met right after entering, Dad posed first and the children copied him. The life-size figure made it feel more realistic.

The exhibition continues through the first and second floors of the main building and an annex outside. Avatar characters were also shown at full size, and even the figures’ eyes felt lifelike.

As we followed the displayed figures farther into the first floor, we saw many Marvel heroes. It was fun looking around while finding characters we had seen in the movies.

At the main stage toward the back of the first floor, we could put on hero masks and take photos.

Disposable gloves and masks were provided. The children also enjoyed switching between the different masks.

We added a shield prop to the masks and posed. Instead of only looking at the figures, we could imitate the characters and take photos.

The children copied Wolverine’s pose surprisingly convincingly, too.

What characters and photo props are on the second floor?

On the second floor, the Batmobile, Batman, and Catwoman greeted us. We used the stairs. If you have a stroller or wheelchair, you can go back outside and take the elevator to the second floor.

It was also fun looking for familiar characters among the smaller figures. Movie posters and videos were displayed together, which made it easier to become absorbed in the exhibition.

Toward the back of the second floor, there were Star Wars masks and lightsabers. The lightsabers lit up, so we took photos while playing pretend. We also took photos using props at the Game of Thrones photo spot that followed.

Are there exhibits for young children and a nursing room?

There were also figures from Japanese animation series such as One Piece and Dragon Ball. The farther we went into the second floor, the more cute characters we saw, making it easy to look around with the children.

My child looked around, apparently fascinated by the figures. The cute characters and photo spots were good for taking pictures of the children, and there was also a nursing room on the second floor.

Near the end of the route, we met characters from Monsters, Inc. Their larger-than-human size, fur, and detailed features stood out and made them feel as if they might come to life.

What can you see after touring the main building?

There was a souvenir shop at the end of the main building tour. We bought a Zanmang Loopy figure, which our eldest child likes.

Outside the building, there is a separate log-cabin annex with a colorful exterior. We saw figures from The Lord of the Rings and The Matrix, along with characters including the Minions, Pokémon, Mazinger Z, and Cardcaptor Sakura.

There were many figures I could not capture fully in photos. Time passed quickly as we looked around and remembered familiar movies and cartoons. The children enjoyed taking photos with the masks and props, while the adults also explored together, looking for characters from their memories.
