Lotte World Busan Tickets: ₩49,000, After3 at 3 PM, and What Foreigners Can Buy
Last Updated on October 4, 2026
Quick Answer
As of October 2026, a Lotte World Adventure Busan one-day ticket costs ₩49,000 for adults, and the afternoon ticket is called After3 — entry from 3 PM, ₩38,000. Several English guides still print ₩47,000 and an “After 4 PM” pass. The Magic Pass here is a two-product add-on (₩15,000 or ₩27,000), nothing like Seoul’s. The park’s public-transport discount excludes foreigners without an Alien Registration Card.
The Full Answer
Lotte World Adventure Busan (롯데월드 어드벤처 부산) is the theme park in Gijang County, on the east side of the city, reached from Osiria Station (오시리아역) on the Donghae Line. It is easy to treat it as a smaller copy of the Seoul park in Jamsil. The ticketing is not a copy. The prices differ, the afternoon ticket has a different name and start time, and the Magic Pass is a different product with its own rules.
I opened the park’s own price, Magic Pass, benefits, closure and location pages in a browser on 4 October 2026 and took every figure in this guide from them unless a different source is named. I then read twelve English-language pages about the park — ticket resellers, travel blogs, a tourism-board listing — and counted what each one prints. Six more pages would not load as text and are not counted. None of the twelve prints both ₩49,000 and ₩38,000.
This guide covers the current prices, the Magic Pass rules, the discount routes that a foreign visitor can and cannot use, and what the park says about weather closures. If you are also planning the rest of the coast, our Busan attractions guide covers the sights the subway doesn’t reach, and where to stay in Busan covers choosing a base.
Official Ticket Prices in 2026
The park sells two admission tickets, and both are priced by age band. Adults are 19 and over, teens 13 to 18 and children from 36 months to 12 years; babies of 12 to 36 months get in free and need a baby pass only for certain facilities. Seniors aged 65 and over pay the child price.
| Ticket | Adult | Teen | Child | Baby pass |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1Day — entry any time during park hours | ₩49,000 | ₩41,000 | ₩35,000 | ₩13,000 |
| After3 — entry from 3 PM | ₩38,000 | ₩34,000 | ₩32,000 | ₩13,000 |
Prices are as of October 2026. The price page says offers and discounts cannot be combined, and that arcade and carnival-game areas are not included in admission. It also says babies aged 12 to 36 months enter the park free: the ₩13,000 in the baby column is a baby pass for Kidstoria (키즈토리아) and the child-only rides, and the same page also lists a ₩3,000 single-use pass and a ₩6,000 Kidstoria-only pass (as of October 2026).
Local tip — The afternoon ticket is After3, from 3 PM, and the adult price is ₩49,000, not ₩47,000. Three of the twelve English pages call the afternoon ticket “After 4” or “After 4 PM (16:00),” and four print ₩47,000 for a one-day adult ticket. The park’s own price page lists After3 with entry “from 3 PM” and a ₩38,000 adult price. One English page does use “After 3 PM” but pairs it with ₩36,000, a figure that also appears on the Korean version of the Visit Busan listing, so the older figures sit on a tourism-board page as well. A Korean community wiki dates the switch from a 4 PM ticket to a 3 PM ticket to May 2023; the park does not state a date, and I could not find when the one-day price changed.

One more caution. Seoul’s Lotte World in Jamsil sells its own after-4 pass on its own terms, covered in our Lotte World Magic Pass guide. Busan’s After3 and Seoul’s after-4 are separate products at separate parks, so a figure or a start time quoted for one does not carry over to the other. One English page lists ₩64,000 for a Busan adult ticket; that looks like the Seoul park’s earlier price, which is a guess on my part, but it matches nothing on Busan’s price page.
How the Magic Pass Works in Busan
The Magic Pass is an add-on that shortens queues; it is not admission. In Busan it comes in two versions only, and the park’s rules page has details that the English pages I read leave out.
| Busan Magic Pass (official page, October 2026) | |
|---|---|
| Products | 2-use ticket ₩15,000 · 4-use ticket ₩27,000 |
| Who can buy | Holders of a same-day comprehensive ticket, and annual-pass holders |
| Where sold | Online booking — the park’s website or its mobile app |
| Format | Mobile only; visitors without a smartphone cannot use it |
| One ride only | 자이언트레볼루션 (Giant Revolution), 자이언트디거 (Giant Digger) and 오거스후룸, a flume ride — the page lists these, in Korean, as rides you can board only once |
| Not valid on | Pay-to-play game areas, plus seven named rides: 캔디트레인, 날아라꼬꼬, 달려라염소, 춤추는포니, 아기돼지범퍼카, 쿠키스윙 and 뱅앤드롭 |
| Limit | One ticket per person; two or more people cannot share one |
The refund rules are the part to read before paying. The page says no refund is given if rides are held because of rain or strong wind, if rides are inspected without notice, after one or more rides have been used, or for a change of mind. The one exception is an unused ticket, which can be refunded only on the day of purchase.
Local tip — A Busan Magic Pass is mobile-only, allows only one boarding on three of its rides, and is not refunded when rain or wind holds the rides. The two prices appear on English pages (koreatodo and thingstodoplace both list ₩15,000 and ₩27,000). The rules above appear on none of the twelve pages I read. One English listing (thingstodoplace) describes the products as “2 rides” and “4 rides,” while the park’s page says two or four uses; I could not confirm from the park’s page how many different rides that allows, and a Korean wiki’s version of it is a single, unofficial source.
Source: adventurebusan.lotteworld.com/price/price/magicpass, checked 4 October 2026.
Two things on that page I cannot resolve. It says the pass can only be used on the day it is bought, and elsewhere says it is valid on the reserved use date, so I cannot tell you whether buying it before the day of your visit works. Check the checkout screen. The eligibility line also reads “same-day comprehensive ticket” holders; I did not confirm whether an After3 ticket counts.
Because the pass is mobile-only, a phone with a working data connection is the practical requirement; our eSIM, SIM and pocket Wi-Fi guide covers the options.
Busan versus Jamsil
Anyone who read about Seoul’s version will find the structure here unfamiliar. The Jamsil details below come from our Seoul Magic Pass guide.
| Lotte World Busan | Lotte World Jamsil (our guide) | |
|---|---|---|
| Magic Pass products | 2: ₩15,000 and ₩27,000 | 4 tiers: ₩54,000, ₩65,000 (two Standard versions), ₩80,000 |
| Where sold | Park website or mobile app | The Lotte World Adventure app only |
| Afternoon ticket | After3, entry from 3 PM | Its own after-4 pass |
| Refunds | Unused ticket refundable only on the purchase day; none for rain or wind holds | Same-day purchases refundable within two hours; weather closures are not refunded |
The Public-Transport Discount Excludes Foreigners
The park’s “benefits” page lists a discount that sounds designed for visitors: show a photo proving you used public transport near Osiria Station, and an adult ticket drops to ₩39,200 for 1Day or ₩30,400 for After3 (as of 2026). The fine print on the same page reads, in translation: group events, baby tickets and foreigners are not eligible — with one exception, a foreigner holding a valid Alien Registration Card (외국인등록증).
Local tip — The park’s “public transport” discount excludes foreigners without an Alien Registration Card. None of the twelve English pages mentions it, which means a visitor who finds the offer on the Korean site cannot use it on a tourist’s passport. Of the other routes the park lists, two carry no nationality condition in their written terms: online booking and the partner-receipt discount. The partner-receipt page neither allows nor excludes foreigners, so that part needs a phone call to the park’s line, 1661-2000.

Every Route a Foreign Visitor Might Use
The table lists each way of getting in that I found, with prices as of 4 October 2026 and what the source says about who may use it. It does not rank them: the right one depends on your dates, your passport and whether you can use the booking channel.
| Route | Adult price | What the source says about foreigners |
|---|---|---|
| Walk-up regular price | 1Day ₩49,000 · After3 ₩38,000 | No nationality condition stated |
| Official online booking (website, up to 4 tickets per person) | 1Day ₩41,500 · After3 ₩32,000 | No nationality limit in the terms. Delivered as a KakaoTalk web ticket; I did not confirm how someone without KakaoTalk receives it. Unused tickets cancel automatically with a full refund |
| Partner-receipt discount (staffed ticket booth to the right of the main gate) | 1Day ₩31,500 | No nationality limit written, no permission written either — unconfirmed |
| Klook, foreign-passport ticket | Day Pass US$25.85, approx. ₩34,860 at ₩1,348.6/USD on 4 Oct 2026 | Foreign passports only; ID is checked on site; Korean passports are refused |
| K-Tour Pass (see below) | ₩15,000 for the pass | Foreign tourists only; includes one free attraction among about 35 in Busan |
| Public-transport discount | 1Day ₩39,200 · After3 ₩30,400 | Excludes foreigners, unless they hold an Alien Registration Card |
| Korean-card offers (BC card QR, partner credit cards, Naver Pay at the booth, Ttokdak) | Listed on the benefits page | Tied to Korean payment methods or cardholder ID |
The partner-receipt discount takes a receipt or ticket from a partner and applies it for you plus companions: the Busan City Tour Bus (receipt or ticket within one month of use, you plus three), the Songdo Marine Cable Car (within two months, you plus three), Haeundae Blueline Park (within seven days, you plus two), and an Air Busan boarding pass shown with ID (within 31 days, you plus one). If you already plan that day on the coast, the Blueline Park partner is the operator of the Sky Capsule and Beach Train, and the City Tour Bus is described in the Busan attractions guide, which also notes that the bus does not run on Mondays or Tuesdays.
Foreign passport holders can book a Day Pass in English through Klook’s Lotte World Busan listing, rated 4.6 across 725 reviews (as of 4 October 2026).
K-Tour Pass: One Free Entry, Until 31 December
Since 1 October 2026 the Korea Tourism Organization has run a Busan pilot called the K-Tour Pass. It costs ₩15,000 (US$11.19 on Klook, approx. ₩15,100 at ₩1,348.6/USD on 4 Oct 2026) and is sold only to foreign tourists. It includes free admission to one of about 35 Busan attractions, and Lotte World Busan is the first name on the free-entry list. It also carries discounts at about 50 partners, a WOWPASS card, a 50 percent AREX airport-rail coupon (up to ₩6,000), and either a 40 percent coupon on Busan-bound trains and buses (up to ₩24,000) or a ₩24,000 discount on a Korail pass.
The pass is sold on Klook’s K-Tour Pass listing, where the free entry covers one visit and the mobile ticket and transport coupons run until 31 December 2026.
Local tip — A foreign-tourist pass that includes a free Lotte World Busan entry exists, and it expires on 31 December 2026. None of the twelve English Lotte World Busan pages I read mentions it; it does appear on the Korea Tourism Organization’s English site and in an English blog post dated 2 October. What I could not confirm: which Lotte World ticket (1Day or After3) the free entry covers, and whether weekday, weekend or season limits apply. The blog’s author also says the included ticket type is not published. Treat it as a pilot and check the listing before you build a day around it.

Weather: When the Park Stops the Rides
Because the Magic Pass is not refunded when rides are held for weather, it helps to know what the park counts as bad weather. The closures page publishes numbers.
For performances, the park cancels shows at 5°C or below, at a wind speed of 5 m/s or more, or in rain of 0.2 mm per hour or more. For rides, the page gives 5°C or below, wind of 15 m/s or more, and rain of 5 mm per hour or more. The ride sentence has a missing comma in the Korean original, so it is not clear whether the 5°C threshold applies to rides at all or only wind and rain do. I am quoting the numbers as printed rather than guessing.
Local tip — The park publishes weather thresholds for shows (5°C, 5 m/s wind, 0.2 mm/h rain) and rides (15 m/s wind, 5 mm/h rain). The wording on the temperature for rides is ambiguous in the original. None of the twelve English pages I read gives these numbers. The park’s FAQ also says it is open year-round with no regular closing day, and that once you leave you generally cannot re-enter, apart from a first-aid-room exception.

Hours, Getting There, and the Current Event
The park’s closure calendar shows 10:00 to 21:00 every day from 4 to 31 October 2026, with no closed days marked. The calendar ends on 31 October, so I do not have the November and December hours; check the calendar again nearer your date.
For a subway route, the park’s location page names Exit 1 of Osiria Station on the Donghae Line (동해선). Buses 100, 139, 181, 185, 1001 and Haeundae-gu 9 stop at a stop across from Osiria Station on Gijang-daero; the park’s page lists a 15-minute walk from that stop. For the walk from the station itself, the page gives no time: four English guides say 15 minutes, and Visit Busan says 10. I did not verify either figure, and I did not verify travel times from Haeundae or Busan Station, so search the route in Naver Map or KakaoMap — our guide to Google Maps alternatives explains why Google Maps is unreliable for this. Busan’s city buses take the same transit cards as Seoul’s, so a T-money card works on them.
The park runs a MapleStory collaboration (Korean title: Lv290을 이겨라) from 18 September to 22 November 2026. If Haeundae is your base, our Busan beaches guide covers beach-by-beach rules.
What You Need to Know
- Prices in English guides are often out of date. The park’s own page shows ₩49,000 and ₩38,000 as of October 2026. A tourism-board listing and several resellers show different numbers.
- After3 means 3 PM. Do not carry the “after 4 PM” label over from Seoul.
- The Magic Pass is mobile-only and cannot be shared. One ticket serves one person, and three rides allow a single boarding.
- Discounts do not stack. The price page says offers cannot be combined.
- Foreigner eligibility is written down in places and missing in others. The public-transport offer excludes you; the receipt discount is unconfirmed.
- Re-entry is generally not allowed. Plan the day as one visit.
- The K-Tour Pass is a pilot. It ends on 31 December 2026.
Practical Tips
- Check the price page on the day you buy. Resellers and tourism pages lag; the official page shows ₩49,000 and ₩38,000 as of October 2026.
- Pick the ticket type by when you arrive. If you will enter after 3 PM, the After3 ticket is the one the park sells for that window.
- Read the Magic Pass refund rules before paying. No refund for rain or wind holds, and unused tickets are refundable only on the purchase day.
- Use your phone for the Magic Pass. It is mobile-only.
- Call 1661-2000 before relying on a partner receipt. The written terms do not say whether foreigners are covered.
- Look at the weather thresholds the day before. 5 mm per hour of rain or 15 m/s wind stops the rides.
- Keep your passport with you if you book through a foreign-passport listing. ID is checked on site.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a Lotte World Busan ticket in 2026?
As of October 2026, the park’s price page lists a 1Day adult ticket at ₩49,000, teen ₩41,000 and child ₩35,000. The After3 ticket, valid for entry from 3 PM, is ₩38,000 for adults, ₩34,000 for teens and ₩32,000 for children. Babies aged 12 to 36 months enter free; a ₩13,000 baby pass covers Kidstoria and the child-only rides. Adults are 19 and over, and seniors aged 65 and over pay the child price.
What is the After3 ticket at Lotte World Busan?
After3 is the park’s afternoon ticket, valid for entry from 3 PM. The park’s price page lists it at ₩38,000 for adults as of October 2026. Several English guides call it “After 4” and put the start at 4 PM; that matches neither the name nor the start time on the Busan price page.
How does the Lotte World Busan Magic Pass work?
It is a queue-shortening add-on, sold as a two-use ticket at ₩15,000 or a four-use ticket at ₩27,000 (as of October 2026), through the park’s website or app. It is mobile-only and for one person. The park’s page says it is for same-day comprehensive-ticket holders and annual-pass holders, and it is not refunded when rides are held for rain or wind.
Which rides can I only ride once with the Magic Pass?
The park’s page names three, in Korean: 자이언트레볼루션 (Giant Revolution), 자이언트디거 (Giant Digger) and 오거스후룸, a flume ride. It lists these as rides you can board once; check the park map for the signposted English names. The page also lists seven named rides and the pay-to-play game areas as not valid for the pass. The page does not tell you how many different rides the two- and four-use tickets cover.
Can foreigners get a discount at Lotte World Busan?
Some routes exist, and some are closed to you. The park’s public-transport discount excludes foreigners unless they hold an Alien Registration Card. Online booking states no nationality limit, the K-Tour Pass is for foreign tourists only until 31 December 2026, and Klook sells a foreign-passport ticket. The partner-receipt discount is unconfirmed for foreigners, so call 1661-2000.
How do I get to Lotte World Busan from Haeundae?
The park’s location page names Exit 1 of Osiria Station on the Donghae Line, and lists several buses that stop across from the station. I did not verify travel times or transfer points from Haeundae or Busan Station, and the page gives no walking time from the station to the entrance. Check the route in Naver Map or KakaoMap before you leave.
Does Lotte World Busan close in rain or cold?
The park says it is open year-round, but it stops performances at 5°C or below, 5 m/s wind or 0.2 mm per hour of rain, and stops rides at 15 m/s wind or 5 mm per hour of rain. The temperature rule for rides is ambiguous in the original text. You generally cannot re-enter once you leave.
