Lotte World Magic Island, Theme park in 잠실3동, Seoul, South Korea
Lotte World Magic Island is an outdoor theme park built on an artificial island in the Jamsil neighborhood of Seoul, South Korea, connected by bridges to the larger Lotte World complex. The park sits next to Seokchon Lake and features fast roller coasters, drop rides, and attractions for different age groups.
Lotte World opened in 1989 as one of the largest theme parks in the world and quickly became one of Seoul's most visited destinations. The outdoor Magic Island section was developed as a separate zone to expand the experience with open-air rides near the water.
Magic Island is known as a popular spot for marriage proposals, and many visitors rent school uniforms on-site to wear and take photos around the park. The Camelot Carousel and the lit-up outdoor areas at night are among the most photographed spots.
The park is directly connected to Jamsil Subway Station and easy to reach on foot from there. Visiting on weekdays tends to mean shorter waits, as weekends and holidays attract the biggest crowds.
Magic Island is also listed as a proposal spot, which is unusual for a theme park, and couples regularly choose it for this purpose. The bridges connecting the island to the rest of the complex offer a clear view of Seokchon Lake, especially after dark when the park lights are reflected on the water.
