Lotte World is better for small kids. It's very compact and is both inside and outside if it's cold/rainy. You'd just take Line 2 to Jamsil Station. Lotte World is the best for little, little kids because of the "Disney-esque" factor. Cute photo ops, their own characters, etc.
You could also go to Seoul Land which is located inside Seoul Grand Park along with the Seoul Zoo (lots of attractions in one place).
Everland is the furthest away and takes longer to get to. For you, as a tourist, you'd have to take the Everland shuttle bus which is like 12$. There are public buses and a subway that are cheaper, but not as simple for you as a tourist. Everland also skewers a bit older. It's much more of a process.
Let me know what other questions you have, I'm happy to answer any and all!
thanks for info. We are a couple with a baby. Is seoul a stroller friendly?
I have booked room at Seoul Royal in Myendong. How do I get water boiler? Need to boil water to mix with baby's food. I can use a baby carrier but stroller would be more easy since we might do little bit of street shoppings or eating and mall visits.
You mentioned, Seoul land, lotte world & everland Is it easy transportation round trip?tourist buses & trains that will take our stroller? We won't be taking taxis anywhere since our travel will be on budget. I love rice meals, spicy meals like rice and veg or rice and stir fried beef and veg. We don't eat sea food and don't like sweat dishes. Thanks for any advice and info
