activities can make for a extra-special Seoul trip.
By Skill or By Luck, Try for a Prize
Claw machines can be found in most parts of the world, but it's fairly unusual to see more than a couple of machines together. However, in Seoul claw machines stores are all the rage and the city has become somewhat of a claw machine paradise. Claw machines stores are just that, an entire storefront filled with claw machines offering different prizes. Though these stores stores can be found all over Seoul, there's a high concentration of stores in places with lots of students, like university districts. In Hongdae (the area around Hongik University) there's a plethora of claw machine stores. Claw machines are deceptively addictive and the anticipation of trying to snag a prize may be half the fun. Korean claw machine prizes are a step above the prizes found in other places around the world. Visitors to Seoul can expect to find stuffed characters from popular animated works like Pokemon, One Piece, and Doraemon. Test your skills on the claw machine and angle for a fun souvenir of Seoul to take home.
