Seoul to transform into citywide playground for ‘Kids Week’

The Seoul Metropolitan Government said Wednesday it will hold "Seoul Kids Week" from May 1 through May 7, turning venues across the city into free or discounted play spaces to coincide with Children's Day on May 5. The weeklong event centers on Seoul's network of publicly operated Seoul Kids Cafes, which have drawn 1.45 million visitors to date. All Seoul Kids Cafe locations will open on Children's Day despite it being a public holiday, with special programs including magic shows, classical instrument performances and bumper car experiences. About 60 facilities eligible for free admission under relevant ordinances will be open at no charge on May 5, and a lottery will be held to give an additional 555 visitors free passes at facilities where free admission is not available. A special edition of "Seoul Kids Cafe Money" — vouchers offering 20 percent discounts at participating private children's cafes — will also be issued for the month of May. Residents can check which Seoul Kids Cafe locations offer free admission on May 5 through the Uridongne Kium Portal starting April 24. Coinciding
