Lotte World Adventure is an indoor\/outdoor amusement park featuring the largest indoor amusement park in the world. We only had a few hours here which was barely enough to walk around, watch the parade, and ride one of the rides. I would have loved to of spent a full day here. I’ll definitely be returning with Karl when we get around to visiting this side of the world again. The amusement park is at least three stories with a large opening in the center with an ice skating rink on the bottom floor. I adored the design of the park and it’s mascot characters even though many things were blatant Disney ripoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
