Rolling Ball Museum & Fun Museum

[Update: We just heard from our readers that both Museums were temporarily closed; It seems they may be trying to find a new location; We’ll keep you posted…]

Interactive, instructive and fun attraction making it a perfect destination for families with kids of all ages

Rolling ball museum is located on the second floor of Kyunghyang Art Hill,  just opposite the  Fun Museum. You can buy combined tickets to visit both attractions at the same time.

Whereas the exhibition is rather small, the Rolling Ball Museum is a magic place where hundreds of balls are bouncing, spinning and rolling around twisted metal constructs with turns and loops. You can spend long minutes to observe all those balls rolling and jumping around in endless cycles. Part of the exhibit is almost entirely hands-on.

How fascinating for kids to touch, roll, watch and play all by themselves.

 

If you want to have a look at the Fun Museum, you should rather buy the combined ticket. The Fun or Funique Museum is an interesting display of many original, surprising, funny and for most of them unusable objects and inventions. You can touch and play with everything displayed and it makes it really attractive for kids. You will find there fun glasses, hats and gloves, dancing lamps and holograms as well as some original musical instruments and puzzles and metal brain teasers.

 

Both museums are very fun, interactive and educative. Prefect place to visit in winter or during rainy days.
