Hagye-dong kids play zone in Seoul: Play Pass for a 6-year-old, Jump

I visited Jump, a new facility in Hagye-dong, Nowon-gu, with my 6-year-old. It's a place that brings together an indoor kids' café-style playground for children and serious activities adults can get physical with too, all in one space. It's billed as the largest indoor adventure theme park run by a district office in Korea, so I was extra curious.

Where Jump is, opening hours and parking

Jump is located at 102 Hangeulbiseok-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul, open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, closed every Monday. It's also closed on September 25 (Chuseok) and October 6, and parking is available. The grand opening is set for October 2.

Jump was built as a new leisure space where kids and teens can safely enjoy various activities year-round, whatever the weather. Ahead of the official grand opening on October 2, it's currently running a special preview period with discounted pricing. We wanted to enjoy it without the crowds, so we went on a weekday right after my daughter's kindergarten let out early. It had already built up buzz from visitors during its first soft opening over the summer, and I'd been meaning to check it out myself. Every time we drove past, my daughter would spot the eye-catching building from a distance and beg to go, so we finally made it happen haha.

Jump is walkable from Hagye Station Exit 3 and also has a parking lot, so it was easy to get to. On the weekday I visited, parking was easy, but apparently it's often full on weekends, so taking public transit might be a better bet if you're going then.

Jump's first-floor lobby: plenty to see before you go in

The moment we stepped onto the first floor, my daughter naturally gravitated toward the cute teddy bear photo zone 🧸

There's a full directory near the entrance, so even first-time visitors can easily see where everything is.

Right in front is a mini go-kart track and 'Digging Today,' where you get to operate a real excavator. I tried the excavator game once before and it was trickier than expected haha. Adults were digging away with very serious expressions, so my daughter and I watched for a while.

In the corridor there's a large figure display, a stationery shop, a photo booth, a carousel, and even a music fountain — so much to look at before we'd even properly entered.

Adventure Pass vs Play Pass at Jump: what's the difference?

To the left of the music fountain is Jump's activity ticket booth. At first I was a bit confused about the pass types and which facilities my child could use, but it's simple once you think of it as Adventure Pass versus Play Pass.

The Adventure Pass covers a range of activities including Sky Trail and Clip 'n Climb, and preschoolers 120cm or taller can use it with a guardian. The Play Pass covers everything except Sky Trail and Clip 'n Climb — a good choice for guardians accompanying their kids, or for children and adults who find the Adventure facilities intimidating. Preschoolers 100cm or taller can use Net Play, Super Challenge, Play Interactive, Battle World laser tag, and more with a guardian.

Since my child is 6 and just over 110cm, we went with the Play Pass.

After buying the pass, we filled out a consent form via QR code before entering. There are free lockers inside, so it was easy to store unnecessary belongings and move around lightly. Sneakers are required for Jump's activities, and comfortable long pants are recommended.

Net Play at Jump: a climbing net parents can go up with the kids

The first thing our little one picked was Net Play.

The netting connects up to the second and third floors, so she climbed up and down having a blast. The net was taut and springy, and even I as an adult tried moving around with her — it was more fun than I expected.

I loved that it wasn't just watching my kid play — I could get physical alongside her too.

Battle World laser tag was also available, but my kid firmly passed on anything gun-related haha.

Super Challenge on Jump's second floor: wear sneakers

Next we moved to Super Challenge on the second floor.

It's an active adventure course where you balance on a log bridge, cross netting, and hop over obstacles, using speed, balance, and agility.

Each obstacle looked simple on its own, but strung together they took more effort than expected. There weren't many other visitors when we went, so my daughter roamed around joyfully and tackled the course several times. Used to kids' cafés, she took off her shoes here too and wore anti-slip socks — but heads up, sneakers are required for Super Challenge, so make sure to wear them!

Play Interactive at Jump: 'Foot Jump', where mum ran hardest

Next to Super Challenge is Play Interactive, with a variety of games.

There was jump rope, archery target practice, touchscreens, and more, but my personal favorite was 'Foot Jump.' You stand on an air mat one at a time and complete missions by moving your body while watching the screen — seeing myself on screen made it surprisingly immersive.

Most of it is about jumping to score points, so it's intuitive enough that even a 6-year-old picked it up quickly. I usually just tag along quietly as the parent at these places, but here I found myself jumping enthusiastically without even realizing it.

My daughter even filmed me while saying 'Mom, you're so good at this!' Next time I want to bring my husband along too and try the other activities together.

There were also wooden games and a retro arcade scattered around, nice for a quick break between activities.

And on September 22, Battle Drift Kart and Sky Glider are set to open. I got a peek at the setup and it looked fun just to watch — already looking forward to our next visit.

Kids' Ground at Jump: 5,600 won for 1 hour on weekdays (preview rate)

Next we moved to Kids' Ground, where my 6-year-old could run around a bit more freely.

Jump's activity area and the Kids' Ground are run as separate spaces, and you need to buy passes for each separately. Kids' Ground is for preschoolers or children under 120cm. Non-slip socks are required, and guardians must wear socks too for hygiene reasons — they're available for purchase on site if you don't have any. When I visited, the weekday one-hour pass was ₩5,600 at the preview discount rate.

※ Prices and terms are as of the visit date and may change, so please check before visiting.

Kids' Ground has a cute cotton-candy-colored interior, and my daughter loved it the moment we walked in.

There are shoe racks and lockers, plenty of tables for guardians to rest at, and even a microwave — it looked convenient for visiting with young kids.

There's a restroom inside so you don't need to step out, plus kids' slippers and a sink set at child height.

Before really diving into play, we fueled up with my daughter's favorite ice cream at the Kids' Snack Bar haha.

Kids' Ground has a huge jungle gym, and my daughter squeezed through every gap and never stopped moving.

With touchscreen games, a ball pit, a mini slide, a trampoline, racing games, and more all in one space, there was plenty to move between, and we ended up spending a long time here too.

Most of all, everything was kept clean overall and the areas where kids move around were safely designed, which made it feel good to use with a young child.

There's also a carousel near the entrance that runs on a schedule, so if you're using Kids' Ground, check the times and hop on together :)

Second-floor food lounge and café at Jump

With not much time left before closing, we finally checked out the 2nd floor food lounge.

There are tons of tables and even massage chairs, making it a good spot for guardians to rest after all that playing. Deep in the back there's a book lounge too, nice for quiet time.

You order via kiosk, and with options like Mom's Touch, Namsan Donkkaseu, Star Gomtang, and food trucks, it looks convenient for families or groups to each pick what they want.

We didn't get to eat this time since closing time was near, but next time I want to play to my heart's content at Jump and grab a meal in the same trip.

The café next door has a good range of drinks and baked goods, so I ordered an iced americano. After running around so much, that caffeine hit just right, and the coffee was to my taste too.

There's also a terrace behind the café, which would be nice for a coffee outside on a cool day.

Final verdict: is Jump worth it with a 6-year-old?

I'd been curious what would go in this spot ever since construction started, and having actually used it as a Nowon-gu resident, what I liked most was having a place with this much variety of indoor activity so close to home. My 6-year-old, at about 110cm, got to try several activities with the Play Pass, and ran around freely at Kids' Ground — there was more to enjoy than I'd expected.

Whether you're visiting with family, friends, a partner, or coworkers, there's enough variety here for everyone to find something they enjoy, which makes it a place I'll remember when looking for indoor things to do in Nowon. If you're looking for a weather-proof indoor playground in Nowon, give Jump a try :)
