Float Above Yeouido for 360° Seoul Views from a Giant Balloon 🎈🌙

SEOULDAL 서울달 (Seoul Moon) If you want to experience Seoul from a perspective that skyscrapers can't offer, SEOULDAL (Seoul Moon) is a must-try experience. It’s particularly stunning in the evening as the sky turns orange just before the city lights begin to sparkle. Located in Yeouido Park, SEOULDAL is a tethered helium balloon. Rather than drifting with the wind, it rises vertically to a height of about 130 meters, providing a sweeping view of the Han River and the Seoul skyline from above. 🎈 Unique Highlights Being on a balloon feels much different than standing in a building's observation deck because it's an open-air experience. There are no glass walls to obstruct your view. From the top, you can take in the high-rises of Yeouido, the city landscape, and the Han River. The view from the basket—complete with the netting, tether cables, and the Seoul skyline—adds a layer of depth that makes your photos stand out compared to those from typical observatories. 🌇 Recommended Timing The best time to visit is about 30–60 minutes before sunset. This allows you to catch the "Golden Hour" glow and the city's night view in one single trip. For those who love the night aesthetic, choose a time after sunset. The city transforms into a sea of lights, with the Yeouido skyline looking particularly impressive. ⏱️ How long does it take? The flight itself takes about 15 minutes from takeoff to landing. When including preparation and safety training, the total experience is about 30 minutes per round. Official Seoul records show it is open Tuesday–Sunday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, with the final flight around 9:30 PM. From August to October 2026, Friday and Saturday hours are extended until 11:00 PM. 💰 Admission Fees The listed price is approximately 25,000 KRW for adults and 20,000 KRW for children/seniors. Be sure to double-check age requirements and available discounts before your visit. 📍 SEOULDAL 서울달 Yeouido Park, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul Summary: If you've already visited Seoul Tower or other observatories and want a fresh perspective, SEOULDAL offers something truly different—especially during the transition from sunset to night, which is the most rewarding time to go. 🎈🌆 📷 Original photos taken by the author.
