You can spend one whole day at 63 City and will never get bored. My family and I take the subway to Yeouido Station. After getting info from the info counter at the station, we take a shuttle bus to 63 City. To save cost, you can buy the package tickets (30,000 won per head) and select 3 places of interests you want to go. We chose Sky Art, Seaworld and Wax Museum. You can visit the Sky Art around 5pm, then you can enjoy both day and night scene of Seoul City at 63 storey high building. It is an awesome sight especially during the night. Seeing Han River from the top of the building is an enjoyable and relaxing time!! At the Sea World, you can see all species of fishes and reptiles and some birds. .. There are many performances at the Sea World where you can see the feeding of penguins, fishes, etc. There is ballet dancing in the aquarium where you can see the dacer perform dancing in the water. At the wax meseum, you can take pictures with all prominent figures, such as Obama, Tiger Woods, Mortzart, Beethoven and etc. The most frightening and scary part is going through the dark tunnel where you will experience the heart in your mouth...Dracula and all hollewen sights... We also watch the 5-D movies where you have to pay additional 5000 won each. This place is suitable for young kids and teenagers.....so please do not miss this place when you are in Seoul.

My friend and I heard about building 63. We went there and went to the wax museum, the aquarium and a gallery on the 63rd floor. The aquarium is probably the best in South Korea, I've visited the one in Busan, but this is much larger with more variety of fish. Wax museum is pretty good, and the gallery at the time was contemporary art, and was really something.

We wanted to view Seoul from the top, so we headed to the 63 Building in Yeouido. It's quite a walk from the closest subway station.
1. Tip 1: We should have taken the shuttle -- look for it.
Buying tickets is centralized. Get a priority number (if I recall correctly, the sign said something like Waiting Number). When your priority number is flashed on the screen, proceed to the ticket counter to buy a ticket -- you have a choice of just going to the top (pick Sky Art), or getting bundles (aquarium, etc.)
2. Tip 2: Take a seat after getting your priority number. There are benches near the ticket booth.
The elevator going up is really fast! It will take you straight to Sky Art. If you don't dawdle or buy food/drinks/souvenirs/go to the toilet, you can be in and out in 20 minutes. But try and savor the experience. The view is what you'd expect, but the art is pretty cool. They have interactive art for the kids. Can't take pictures of the art, but you can of the view.
There are lots of places to eat in 63 City, a movie theater and other things you'd see in a mall. Fun with friends or family.

The gallery and aquarium are no more! Just an office building. The restaurants on the upper 50s are upscale. The surroundings are car lots and motorways. The park is ok but not worth the effort. Seoul had more to offer then this US style sprawl

63 Square is one of the tallest buildings in Seoul. It is also a cultural complex. It has 63 Art observatory, museum, and Aqua Planet. The night view of Seoul from 63 Art, the highest gallery in the world is outstanding!!
63 Art Galleria.... 13,000 won. Aqua Planet 23,000 won. Since 90% of the museum in Seoul are FREE and minimal admission fee for the palace. For the galleria and aquarium... 13,000 won and 23, 000 won is a little bit pricey.
Subway Line 5, Yeouinaru Station, Exit 4

Saw 63 City from a lot of Korean shows so I came here after a walk at Yeouido Hangang Park. Besides from the tall design of the building, there is not a lot to do. There is an aquarium and an art museum inside. Tickets are quite expensive and its crowded with tourists, especially tourists from China. Seriously don't recommend people to come.

Pretty much a pointless mall/building that has a very good view of Seoul.
Paid 11000 KRW to go up to the observatory. At that moment, they had an art exhibition at the observatory so one can browse works of arts while admiring the city view. Amazing view of the Han river and downtown buildings can be seen. Best time to go would be around 6-7pm for sunset.There is also a small cafe and a souvenir shop.
A note is that the building is a little far from nearby subway stations (Yeouido & Yeouinaru) but the building provides free shuttles leaving every 20 or so minutes to and fro.

63 City sounded interesting and I wanted to see Seoul by night and take some nice pics and it certainly didn't disappoint. The nearest train station was a wee way away but it took ages to get there by taxi, I think because we exited on the wrong side of the railway lines. Entrance was 10,000won from memory, we decided to skip the aquarium, wax museum etc and just go up the tower, and I think we made the right choice, The views were amazing, you could see great distances in all directions, and looking out over the river at all the lights was beautiful. Got some good pics too, but it took some effort to avoid all the glare/reflections in the glass.

We came here to enjoy the view from the observation deck and we weren’t disappointed. The Han River and Hangang Park down below make a spectacular backdrop to the city of Seoul that stretches for miles in every direction as far as the eye can see.
To get here from Gangnam, we took the train to Yeouido on the sparkling new No 9 train line from Sinnonyeon station. We had hoped to catch the free shuttle bus from Yeouido station to Bldg 63 but there’s no way you’ll find it unless you know where it leaves from and the timetable. So we ended up catching a taxi from the station which was fine and cost only 4,000 won. Some kindly locals pointed us in the right direction, hailed a cab for us and told the cab driver where to take us. All over Seoul we found people helpful, polite and friendly who will their best to help you if they can understand what you want.
Building 63 ground floor has a food court and a host of stand-alone restaurants and cafes and the usual array of little shops selling cosmetics, souvenirs, knick knacks and the like.
After cruising around for a few minutes we headed to the ticket counter and bought ticks for 11,000 won each for the viewing platform and gave the other attractions like the aquarium, a miss.
The lift that takes you to the observation deck is on the outside of the building and is made of glass, so going up 60 floors is an experience in itself, as you peer out and watch things on the ground getting smaller and smaller. I’m not a great one for heights and number of people in the lift made me slightly claustrophobic so I was glad when we reached the top, although it was a fairly quick trip, may be only a minute or three.
But of course it’s worth it as the view from level 60 is spectacular. And having been up the New Seoul Tower on the other side of the river, this gave us a different perspective on this vast city.
Up top, in addition to the viewing, you can see a display of paintings by local artists known as “Sky Art”. There is also the obligatory cafe and souvenir kiosk. We spent about 40 minutes up there and then took the scary lift back down again.
Getting back to Yeouido station was a breeze as this time we were easily able to locate the free shuttle bus which was waiting outside the main entrance.
This is a worthwhile experience on your visit to Seoul and if you’re staying nearby I wouldn’t miss it.
