About
A third-floor museum of 1960s–2000s memorabilia, with free costume try-ons, photos and hands-on games.
A classroom, a stationery shop, a family home and an arcade sit cheek by jowl at 추억보물섬, with objects from the 1960s through the 2000s packed into rooms on the third floor. It feels less like a display behind glass than a rummage through someone’s long-kept collection: the owner has gathered these things for about 30 years, and many can still be handled. Try on the school uniform or wedding outfit, both offered free, and take photos without an extra charge. There are hands-on old games and 공기놀이 (gonggi, a traditional pebble game); some arcade machines take coins, about ₩200 a play. The owner may also offer a simple snack such as 쫀드기 (jjondigi), a chewy wheat snack that you grill. This is not a food stop; the pleasure is recognizing objects, trying a few, and seeing what catches your eye. Admission is ₩5,000 for adults, ₩4,000 for middle- and high-school students, and ₩2,500 for children from 36 months through elementary school. Plan at least an hour: there is a lot crammed into the rooms. The museum opens at 11:00 daily, closing at 20:00 Monday through Friday and 21:00 on weekends. It is on the third floor, reached by stairs, with no elevator; the climb can be tiring, especially for older visitors. There is no dedicated parking; a parking tower is in the adjacent building, and a public lot is about five minutes away. It suits couples on a rainy-day outing, and parents or older visitors who enjoy comparing memories; children’s interest can vary. One older review complained that a costume was dirty and smelled, so check the outfit before changing. The rooms are dense, and some items have been noted as dusty, but there is enough to explore without treating the visit like a quick photo stop.
Local tips
- Allow at least an hour to explore the packed rooms.
- Bring coins for the arcade machines, which cost about ₩200 per play.
