Seoul’s iconic skyline has an unforgettable centerpiece hovering 130 meters above Yeouido Park. SEOULDAL—a giant, moon-shaped tethered helium balloon—lifts visitors into the air for an open-air, 360-degree view of the Han River, N Seoul Tower, and the glowing financial district below.

The Aerial Experience

Unlike traditional enclosed observation decks, SEOULDAL delivers a 15-minute open-air vertical flight. Floating silently above the trees, you can watch Yeouido’s skyscrapers light up against the winding river. Because the balloon remains securely anchored to the ground by heavy-duty steel cables, the ride is remarkably smooth, offering an effortless way to take in the panorama without the turbulence of a standard hot-air balloon.

Key Details for Visitors

• Location: Yeouido Park (an 8-minute walk from Yeouido Station, Exit 3).

• Operating Hours: Open Tuesday through Sunday, 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM (closed Mondays).

• Admission: ₩25,000 for adults and ₩20,000 for youth.

• Best Time to Fly: Aim for golden hour or late dusk. Catching a flight right before sunset lets you watch the sky shift from orange to deep blue as the city lights kick on.

• Pro Tip: Flight schedules are heavily dependent on real-time wind conditions, so check weather updates or official flight status pages before heading over.

Whether you are looking out from inside the basket or watching the glowing balloon rise from the park grounds, SEOULDAL offers one of the most distinctive ways to experience Seoul after dark. Skip the crowded indoor tower decks—this is the single best seat in the city.
