Lotte World is one of Korea's largest theme parks and among the world's biggest indoor theme parks, combining a fully enclosed indoor section (useful year-round regardless of weather) with an outdoor area on an island in the middle of an artificial lake, plus an ice rink and shopping mall within the same complex. Its indoor section in particular sets it apart from most theme parks, since rides and attractions continue regardless of rain, cold, or heat.

It's a full-day commitment for those wanting to properly cover both indoor and outdoor sections, and its central Seoul location (directly connected to the subway) makes it one of the most convenient major theme park visits in the world.
