From the basement of the gold-tinted glass skyscraper 63 City , one of Seoul’s tallest buildings, you can access five different attractions, the pick of which is 63 Sky Art Gallery . This combines a 60th-floor observation deck offering panoramic views, with top-class, regularly changing art exhibitions.
If you have more time to kill there’s also 63 Art Hall , an IMAX theatre showing hourly movies with an English-language commentary; the lame mini Madame Tussaud’s–like 63 Wax Museum ; a theatre; and an aquarium 63 Seaworld , which has penguins, seals and sea lions. This might do as a way of distracting kids on a rainy day, but the shows involving marine life have also received criticism by animal-welfare groups who claim such shows are debilitating and stressful for the animals, and that this is exacerbated by human interaction.
There are discount packages for three or more attractions, plus a further small foreigner discount (if you ask).
