Cheongchuni Oranda Dongmun Market Main Branch is a dessert shop in Dongmun Market, Jeju, where you can taste and choose from several kinds of oranda.

Jeju Daepo Galbi Ido Branch is a pork galbi restaurant near Dongmun Market in Jeju City. I ate meat and mul-naengmyeon with my family; the partitioned seating and banchan self-service bar were convenient, though I wished we had ordered the ₩79,000 four-person set.

Figure Museum Jeju is an indoor figure museum in Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo, Jeju. I visited with fourth- and fifth-graders to see movie and animation characters, take photos with props, and spend more than 30 minutes in the small annex. The children liked different sections, and the visit gave us plenty to look at indoors.
Pork80 Jeju Airport Branch is a black pork barbecue restaurant in Jeju, Jeju, 10 minutes by car from Jeju Airport.

Verdict: a convenient stop for thick, springy Jeju black pork.
Cheongchuni Oranda is a traditional snack shop in Dongmun Market, Jeju, selling handmade oranda and gwajeul made with Jeju ingredients.

Forest Jeongbang is a café about a one-minute drive from Jeongbang Falls in Seogwipo, Jeju. I visited with my baby, sat on a sofa seat, and had an Americano, yogurt rice cake, and a chicken breast sandwich. The filling sandwich and island view from the window stood out, and there was a high chair inside.
Jejurowoon Cheonghaewon Seongsan Ilchulbong Branch is a seafood restaurant on Sinyang-ro in Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo, Jeju.

Figure Museum Jeju is an indoor movie and animation character exhibition space in Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo. My husband and I spent about an hour in the main building, took photos with character props, and also visited the annex and gachashop; the large figures and detailed displays were more memorable than expected.
