SEA LIFE COEX Aquarium

씨라이프 코엑스 아쿠아리움

Nobody should pay the gate price. The operator's own site sells the same adult ticket at a standing discount and drops it further on selected dates, so the number to plan around is the online one, booked before you arrive.

Nearby

Starfield Library

It is a mall atrium, not a library in the quiet sense — there is no lending, and the photographs everyone comes for are of a space full of people. Power sockets and worktables make it a genuinely usable stop between COEX appointments.

The standing Maitreya at Bongeunsa with the Gangnam high-rises and the temple's tiled roofs behind it

Bongeunsa Temple

The temple publishes no opening hours and no admission fee anywhere on its own site. What it does publish hours for is the bakery, the noodle canteen, the Buddhist-goods shop and the florist — which is a fair description of how the grounds are actually used.

A grass-covered royal tomb mound at Seonjeongneung against a backdrop of high-rises

Seonjeongneung Royal Tombs

It sells monthly and lunchtime passes, which tells you what it mostly is: a working park that office workers and neighbours walk through, which happens to contain two royal tombs. Under-25s get in free, so for most young travellers the ticket price is irrelevant.

Ttukseom Hangang Park

A Hangang park on the Jayang-dong riverside, and among the simplest of them to walk into — an exit of Jayang station on Line 7 opens straight onto the park.

Frequently asked questions

How much is admission to COEX Aquarium?

The list price at the door is 35,000 won for adults and 31,000 for children aged 36 months to 12 years. The operator's own online price is 28,000 for adults and 25,000 for children.

Can I get it cheaper?

The booking calendar prices each date individually, and when this was checked in August 2026 there were dates starting from 15,500 won. That is a separate date-dependent price matching none of the listed products, so check your own travel date. A 50% birthday discount was also running.

Is SEA LIFE COEX Aquarium a different place from COEX Aquarium?

No, it is the same venue. SEA LIFE COEX Aquarium is the current official name; travel writing still widely uses COEX Aquarium.

A Day Around COEX, Gangnam: Seonjeongneung, Bongeunsa, Aquarium, Library
Seonjeongneung, Bongeunsa, COEX Aquarium and Starfield Library all sit within about a kilometre of COEX; this is the order that gets you into each before it closes. It compares how each one shuts (weekday, season, last entry), indoors against outdoors, what changes on a Monday or in winter, and how to get between them.
