The Name Sounds Scary, But They Say It's Actually a Fun Place to Play
but it's said to be a fun theme park to visit with family, they say
Today GYULI would like to introduce a place with an unsettling name right from the start — 'Ghost Town.' Located in Aewol-eup, Jeju City, this place is said to be a space themed around ghosts, just as the name suggests. But that doesn't mean it's filled with nothing but scares. Alongside eerie experiences like a haunted house, ghost maze, and horror VR, it's also said to be a full-scale theme park complete with a pension and restaurants and a cafe to rest at. If the name alone made you a little nervous, it might not be too late to decide after hearing GYULI's story all the way through.
Haunted House, Ghost Maze, Horror VR — Unique Experiences Said to Live Up to the Name
The experiences that represent Ghost Town are, of course, the ones that fully embrace the ghost concept. There's the 'Haunted House,' decked out in an atmosphere where ghosts might appear at any moment; the 'Ghost Maze,' where you wander through tangled, maze-like paths; and 'Horror VR,' which uses virtual reality devices — unique experiences that are said to deliver exactly the kind of chilling fun the name promises. That said, there isn't much confirmed information about exactly how these experiences run or how long each one takes, so I'd rather not go into too much detail here. If you're curious, it's worth double-checking before you visit.
Just hearing the name makes you nervous at first, but it turns out to be a place you can go enjoy hand in hand with family and friends — there's a nice twist to that kind of charm, I think.

The reason Ghost Town is called an all-in-one theme park is said to be because, beyond the unique experiences, it also comes with facilities where you can rest and eat. There's a pension where you can stay overnight, and a themed restaurant specializing in seafood dishes is also said to be available. On top of that, there's a cafe for a cup of coffee and a convenience store for picking up whatever you need — so it's said to be a place you could spend the whole day at, not somewhere you rush through and leave right after the experiences.
On its official website, Ghost Town describes itself as a great place to visit with family and friends, offering a mysterious and unusual kind of trip. Because of the name, you might assume it's only for people who enjoy scary things, but it's actually said to be a space where you can take care of experiences, rest, and meals all in one place — so it doesn't seem like too much of a burden to visit as a family, either.
A Few Things Worth Knowing Before You Visit
Ghost Town is located at 35-14 Buryongsu-gil, Aewol-eup, Jeju City, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, and it's said to operate from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., open year-round. That said, there isn't much confirmed information about details like admission fees per experience, how long each one takes, or whether reservations are required, so if you're planning a visit, it's worth checking again in advance.
GYULI's Tip · Hours are said to be 10 a.m.–10 p.m., open year-round, but there isn't much detailed information about the types of experiences or how to use them, so it's worth checking in advance before you visit. If you're traveling with young children who might find the scary experiences overwhelming, starting with the more relaxing spaces like the pension, restaurant, or cafe could also be a good option.
