Family hotels in Busan

Tucked between sky-high peaks, brilliant beaches and a bustling urban scene, Busan pulls in families with its blend of natural beauty, cultural excursions, and recreational fun. Here are some of the top activities that would surely appeal to any family visiting Busan.

The Busan Children’s Grand Park boasts a massive playground, beautiful gardens, a zoo, and an amusement park – pretty much everything your little ones could dream of for an all-day fun-filled exploration.

Meanwhile, if your family is a group of sea lovers, a visit to Haeundae Beach is essential. Here, you can build sandcastles, paddle in the waters, or visit the Busan Aquarium for a dives into the depths of marine life.

For a burst of culture, Yongdusan Park is a key place to visit. With an area equivalent to nearly 10 football pitches and home to 70 different species of trees, the park is also a fitting venue to learn about Busan's history and traditional naval landscape.

Finally, adding an educational aspect to the trip, a visit to the National Maritime Museum will give your children a chance to learn about Korea's rich maritime history interspersed with entertaining exhibitions. Then, finish the day by treating yourselves to the rich array of street food around Gwangbok-dong and Nampo-dong areas.

With a seemingly endless list of outdoor activities, cultural tours, beach relaxation, and more, Busan is truly a year-round destination for families. However, the best time to visit would be between May and September on the outlook of the most relaxing weather conditions.

Wish to have an exclusive beach holiday? Consider visiting between June and July for a sun-soaked retreat. Spring in Busan, from March to early May, is ideal for sightseeing and enjoying the exploding blossoms. Of course, travelling during school holiday periods may incur higher costs and larger crowds, but the cheer and vividness that's spread across Busan during these times are certainly incomparable and worth experiencing.
