Daehak-ro board game café for kids: free pool and churros at Hero

Things to do with kids in Hyehwa / an indoor date in Daehak-ro

Not long ago I headed out to Daehak-ro with the kids for some board games!! At Hero Board Game Cafe Daehangno Branch you can enjoy lots of board games, plus pool, arcade machines and even Nintendo Mario Kart, all in one place, and I was so happy with it! There's so much to do indoors that I really wanted to introduce it to anyone looking for things to do with kids. We also ate some tasty snacks, so let me tell you all about it :-)

Where is Hero Board Game Cafe Daehangno Branch, and what are the seats like?

Hero Board Game Cafe Daehangno Branch is in the central area near Hyehwa Station, so it's really easy to reach by public transport! Its features are the location near Hyehwa Station, tables in separate rooms, and a stylish, pleasant interior.

Being close to the subway station also makes it a great spot for planning your route with kids!

Stepping through the entrance, I found the inside much roomier and more open than I expected! Best of all, it's made up of private, separate rooms, so the kids could play comfortably without us worrying about people around us! Thanks to the cozy private space, it's a Hyehwa Daehak-ro board game café where mom can rest easy too!

It's a perfect place to drop in after watching a show, and I highly recommend it as a place to go with kids!

Are there board games suited to my child's level?

The shelves at Hero Board Game Cafe Daehangno Branch are organized by difficulty, starting with easy kids' board games. After being shown to our room, I went out to the shelves and was amazed at how many board games there were, far more than I imagined!

With everything neatly sorted by difficulty, from easy kids' games up, it's really nice to pick one that fits your children's level!

Do the pool table and arcade machines cost extra?

On one side of Hero Board Game Cafe Daehangno Branch there's a pool table and nostalgic arcade machines, and you can use them freely at no extra charge. My kid's eyes sparkled the whole time!

It's a Hyehwa Daehak-ro board game café so full of different things to play that you lose track of time!

It's a top pick for things to do with kids on rainy or cold days!

What snacks did we eat with the kids?

At Hero Board Game Cafe Daehangno Branch you order snacks on the tablet provided in the room. We ordered a fresh, cool strawberry smoothie, jjajang ramen (ramen in black bean sauce) that kids love, and sweet churros. All that playing had made us a little hungry!

The sweet-and-salty combo of jjajang ramen and churros won over the kids completely, and the plates were wiped clean in no time!

After a cold strawberry smoothie we were fully recharged and went right back to playing!

The food quality is great too, a Hyehwa Daehak-ro board game café that completely won over my kid's taste buds!

With tasty snacks on hand too, it's just right for a family outing with kids!

Arcade-style Tekken round

After a good stretch of board games, we moved to the nostalgic arcade machine area on one side of Hero Board Game Cafe Daehangno Branch, free to use! We happily mashed buttons and played arcade games like Tekken to our hearts' content!

Twirling the joystick and tapping buttons to pull off moves seemed to melt my kid's stress away. The kids had so much fun that they said they want to go again. It's a must-include stop on a Daehak-ro outing with kids!

Worth going back? Overall verdict

Hero Board Game Cafe Daehangno Branch is an all-in-one play space where you can play board games, pool and Tekken arcade machines, and eat tasty snacks. Thanks to the clean, pleasant private rooms, friendly service and fun things to do, my kid is singing about coming back next time! I highly recommend it as a leading weekend outing with kids!
