TIP: For some reason Google Map doesn't work in Seoul. We used NAVER Application Map in navigating Seoul. I suggest you save yourself some trouble and download this application before your Seoul trip.
Grevin Wax Museum ~ Rubbing elbows with the rich and famous.
We have been to the Madame Tussaud in Singapore and Hongkong and the Grevin wax figures on display were pretty much the same as the ones in Madame Tussaud's (except of course for the few Korean celebrities present), however, Grevin Seoul is delightfully interactive.
Scanning your tickets barcode allows you to do fun activities, like play basketball with Michael Jordan, roulette gambling with the cast of Ocean Eleven and take a quiz with Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs, etc.

Two Two Chicken just officially became my youngest son's favorite Korean chicken :P
Then off to our final item in our Day 2 in our itinerary ~ The Cookin' Nanta. There are a lot of non-verbal shows in Korea and I highly recommend you see one. We've seen both Nanta and Jump and found both very amusing. My youngest commented "he can't breath well due too much laughing". We booked both shows through Klook as well.
Busy Day 2!
Please follow our Day 3 in Seoul and join us, as we visit Gyeongbokgung Palace, National Folk Museum, Jogyesa Temple and Korean Folk Village.

We're not fond of wax museum so we haven't visited Madame Tussauds, hanggang labas lang kami lagi. When we went to Bangkok, I include Madame Tussauds in our itinerary but few days before our trip, I changed my mind. Pero napaisip ako dito sa Grevin Wax Museum kasi may mga oppa pala. :)
ReplyDeleteI so love it when you mentioned it's interactive. I imagine it talaga that you need to.scan the ticket then you can do fun activities na.
ReplyDeleteMy boys for one would surely love playing basketball with Michael Jordan. As for this mother, I love to have a photo with Vincent Van Gogh. He looks a lot younger there, though.
I love the interior of Myeongdong Cathedral, whenever we are visiting to new places, visiting to local church is always on my itinerary. Been seeing Grevin Museum photos on my feed and I'm really feel amused because they really look like the real ones. It's good to know that there are also fun activities like taking quiz with Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs. How cool!
