1. What is SEOULDAL?

SEOULDAL is a tethered helium balloon that allows passengers to rise vertically to 130 meters above Yeouido and enjoy breathtaking 360° views of the Seoul skyline. Named after the Korean word for “moon over Seoul,” the balloon’s design and lift evoke the feeling of a full moon floating above the Han River.

2. Online Booking for Tourists

Starting in April, international visitors can reserve tickets in advance through trusted global travel platforms including KLOOK, KKDAY, and Trip.com. These platforms allow users to choose specific dates and time slots for seamless access to SEOULDAL. A digital voucher will be required upon arrival.

3. Extended Weekend Hours

During peak travel seasons (April–June and September–November), SEOULDAL will open earlier on weekends, from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. This change helps reduce wait times and gives more flexibility to early risers and families.

4. Updated Fares and Family Discounts

Ticket prices are now divided into age-specific categories: Children (3–12), Teenagers (13–18), Adults (19–64), and Seniors (65+). Multi-child households with official Family Cards can receive a 30% discount. This makes the ride more accessible for larger families.

5. New Combo Packages

Seoul City is working with hotels and travel agents to offer room-and-ride packages, gift bundles, and discount tie-ins with local cafés. Group discounts of up to 20% are now available for parties of 20 or more, making SEOULDAL an ideal spot for tours, schools, and company trips.
