Indoor playground in Nowon, Seoul: all-day pass with 3 kids at Jump

I have three elementary-school nieces who genuinely love being active — girls in 6th, 4th, and 2nd grade! Even though they're girls, they love trying new things and especially love playing hard and moving their bodies.

So whenever they come to visit, I always keep an eye out for places where they can run wild. Since a new indoor activity spot had just opened, I took all three nieces to "Jump" in Nowon to see how much fun these high-energy kids would have. Here's my honest review after visiting!

Jump's location, parking, and how to book

Jump is 584m from Exit 3 of Hakgye Station on Line 7 — a straight 5-minute walk from the subway, making it easy to reach by public transit. There's a parking space in front of the building, but it's very small, so public transit is recommended.

We visited on a weekday and used the parking lot, but if you're planning to drive on a weekend, I'd recommend arriving early! Hours are Tuesday–Sunday, 10:00–18:00, closed every Monday. Prices, hours, and ongoing events can change depending on the season, so it's worth double-checking the official site before you visit.

Both online and on-site booking are available, but if you want to get in even a bit faster, I'd recommend booking online. You can book through Jump's official site or Naver Reservations — book ahead if you're planning to visit for a smoother experience!

Things to know before you enter

My nieces are all elementary schoolers over 120cm tall, so we walked straight past the Kids Ground and into the Jump activity area further inside.

The closer we got to the entrance, the more excited the kids visibly got. I found myself wondering what kind of activities were waiting inside, too.

We used the all-day pass that day. The pricing currently shown reflects the grand-opening 30% discount period, so it may change later.

When we visited, two facilities — Battle Drift Kart and Sky Glider — were still under construction. They're set to open on September 22, so there will be even more activities to enjoy soon, which made me even more excited.

Before entering, we checked the guidelines, and one adult representative was required to fill out a consent form before starting any activities. We filled it out as instructed and got wristbands for the kids and myself. With all the procedures done, we finally entered!

What to bring and useful tips

• What to bring: sneakers, long pants, comfortable clothes
• There's no water fountain inside the Jump activity area — only vending machines! (The water fountain is in the food lounge)
• Lockers are free, so bring water or a tumbler and definitely store it in a locker

Sky Trail or Clip 'n Climb — what did we try first?

The moment we stepped inside, the sheer scale of the place got my nieces really excited. The first thing they ran toward was, unsurprisingly, Sky Trail — clearly the biggest structure in sight!

My youngest niece isn't quite 140cm tall yet, so she and I stuck to the 1st-floor course, while my two older nieces climbed all the way up to the 3rd floor and even rode the zipline down. Watching them climb up fearlessly and decide to try the zipline really showed how much they love a challenge — I was impressed!

The place my nieces spent the longest at was Clip 'n Climb! You climb up a wall and then hold onto a rope to come back down, and there were tons of different courses at varying difficulty levels, so it was fun trying each one. Between "Let's try this one too!" and "I want to try that one!" they completely lost track of time.

I thought it wouldn't be too hard at first, so I confidently gave it a try myself… and the result was — I came down in tears 😂

Upstairs on the 2nd floor, another round of fun awaited — arcade screen games! Looking around, there seemed to be about 10 different games available. Each one worked differently, so it was fun for the kids to pick and choose which ones to play.

The Jump food lounge menu and getting there

The kids were so absorbed in playing that it was already past 1pm and none of them had even mentioned being hungry — I had to coax them away to head to the food lounge for lunch.

The food lounge isn't inside the Jump activity space itself — you scan your wristband to exit and head up to the 2nd floor to reach it. At first I thought it might be inconvenient since it's separate from the activity area, but once we actually walked over, the distance wasn't far at all and it was more convenient than expected.

The food lounge had simple, satisfying options like burgers, pork cutlet, and Hangang ramen (a instant-ramen dish popular along Seoul's Han River). There were plenty of dishes kids would enjoy, and the prices were reasonable, making it convenient to grab a meal in between activities.

Best of all, the food lounge was more spacious and comfortable than I expected, and there was even a café. So for older elementary-age kids and up, I could see letting the kids enjoy the activities on their own while a guardian relaxes with a coffee in the food lounge.

Until 6pm: the phrase my nieces said most

After lunch, they went right back to playing enthusiastically until 6pm!

At first, the kids were scared and only climbed to the lower spots, but with each attempt they pushed themselves one step higher, then a little higher again — it was great to watch.

I think the phrase my nieces said most throughout the day was, "Should I be a little braver this time?"

The staff were also generous with encouragement and praise every time the kids attempted something new, which I think helped them gain even more confidence. It wasn't just running around and playing — it was a day where they got to build courage by challenging themselves again and again, which made the whole experience even more satisfying!
