N Seoul Tower Tickets 2026: Adult 29,000 Won vs Child 23,000 Won - What's the Difference?

A first-time-visitor family lines up at the N Seoul Tower ticket counter. They hesitate, unsure whether their 12-year-old needs the adult ticket or the child rate. The price board only lists "대인" (adult) and "소인" (child) in Korean, with little English explanation.

At a glance: as of February 1, 2026, N Seoul Tower's observatory admission is 29,000 won for adults (age 13 and up) and 23,000 won for children (ages 3-12) or seniors (65 and up). It's open Sunday-Thursday 10:00-22:30 and Friday-Saturday 10:00-23:00 (last entry 30 minutes before close), every day of the year. The address is 105 Namsangongwon-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul; the phone number is 02-3455-9277.

Because the adult and child rates split at age 13 with a 6,000-won gap, many visitors just pay the adult price rather than mention a child's age. The "senior" rate for visitors 65 and older is also 23,000 won, the same as the child rate, and applies once you show a passport as proof of age.

Children under 36 months get in free, but only one per accompanying adult, and you need a document proving the child's age. Without it, staff can't apply the free entry, and you may end up paying the 23,000-won child rate instead.

Visitors with a disability registration card get a 30% discount — for grades 1-3, the holder plus one companion; for grades 4-6, the holder only. On the 29,000-won adult rate, that's a savings of 8,700 won, but you have to ask for it at the counter yourself.

N Seoul Tower doesn't sell tickets online through its own site; you pay at the gate counter according to the posted price table. There's no separate foreigner discount or advance-online discount, so travelers should treat the price table on the website as exactly what they'll pay at the booth.
