A large museum on the shore at Dongsam-dong that puts Korea's maritime history, ships and sea life under one roof. Kids tend to get stuck in front of the ship models and life-size exhibits. Permanent displays are free, so it is an easy rainy-day stop. The harbor and big ships visible from the plaza outside are worth a look as well. The children's museum needs a reservation.
