CGV / Lotte Cinema / Megabox — Jeju City & Seogwipo
Jeju’s major cinema chains—CGV, Lotte Cinema, and Megabox—offer comfortable, modern theatres in both Jeju City and Seogwipo.

Arcades & Indoor Game Centres
Arcades and indoor game centres are easy to find across Jeju, especially inside malls and shopping districts in Jeju City.

So they’re a fun, low-key stop for families and teens.
These centres are ideal when you need a short break from sightseeing or want something flexible that doesn’t require a big time commitment. Teens and older kids are likely to enjoy the mix of classic and modern games, while younger kids will enjoy the colourful machines and small prize wins. Many arcades also offer prepaid game cards, so you can set a budget and play at your own pace.
Because they’re indoors and located near food courts, cafés, and shopping, arcades are another good option for rainy days, hot afternoons, or evening downtime. They’re an easy, reliably fun option that fits into almost any Jeju itinerary.
