If you’re looking for fun things to do in Jeju besides café hopping and admiring coastal views, 9.81 Park Jeju deserves a spot on your itinerary.

I honestly didn’t expect this attraction to become one of the highlights of our Jeju self-drive trip. I initially thought it would simply be another go-kart experience, but after spending a few hours here, I realized it’s much more than that. Imagine racing downhill powered purely by gravity, competing against your friends, having every ride automatically recorded on an app, and enjoying beautiful views of Jeju all at the same time.

Whether you’re travelling with friends, family or your partner, here’s everything you need to know before visiting 9.81 Park Jeju.

Where is 9.81 Park Jeju?

Located in Aewol, on the northwestern side of Jeju Island, 9.81 Park sits between the beautiful Aewol coastline and Hallasan Mountain. The location makes it an ideal stop if you’re exploring western Jeju.

It pairs perfectly with nearby attractions like:

• Aewol Coastal Road
• Handam Coastal Walk
• Bomnal Café
• Café Knotted Jeju
• Various seaside cafés overlooking the ocean

If you’re doing a self-drive itinerary, you can easily spend half a day here before continuing towards Aewol for cafés or sunset by the coast.

How to Buy Tickets

You can purchase tickets:

• Directly through the official 9.81 Park website
• Through travel platforms like Klook ( There is early bird package price which is slightly cheaper). You can use my quote” HAZELOFFKLOOK” for additional 5% discount.
• On-site (subject to availability)

If you’re visiting during weekends, school holidays or peak travel seasons, I’d recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred time slot.

My Experience at 9.81 Park Jeju

The moment we arrived, we were impressed by how modern the entire park looked. Everything feels digital. From ticketing to race tracking. After checking in, we downloaded the official 9.81 Park App, which automatically synced with our wristbands.

Every race records:

• Lap timings
• Speed
• Rankings
• Personal records
• Race videos

Yes…you’ll even receive your driving videos after the ride!

Gravity Racing : The Highlight of the Park

After a short briefing, we headed to the starting platform.

The race begins from the top of a hill overlooking Jeju’s beautiful landscape.

Once released…You’re off! The feeling is surprisingly exhilarating.

Since there’s no engine noise, you can actually enjoy the surrounding scenery while focusing on navigating each bend. The downhill route has enough twists and turns to keep things exciting without feeling intimidating.

At the finish point, your kart is automatically transported back uphill while you sit back and enjoy another scenic ride.

It’s honestly one of the coolest transport systems I’ve experienced at any theme park.

Indoor Activities

If you think the park is only about kart racing, think again. There’s an entire indoor activity zone packed with games suitable for all ages.

Some of the activities include:

• Ringgo futuristic bumper cars
• Interactive sports games
• Basketball challenges
• Laser tag
• Digital gaming experiences
• Relaxation lounges
• Café and dining spaces

Even if it rains, you’ll still have plenty to do indoors.

Heal Swing 360

One attraction I highly recommend trying is the Heal Swing 360. Unlike a typical giant swing, this one lets you soar high above Jeju’s landscape while taking in panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

It gives you just enough adrenaline without being overly scary.

If you’re visiting with friends, it’s also a great spot for photos and videos.

Useful Tips Before Visiting

1. Download the Official App

Do this before your race. The app stores your:

• Race timings
• Rankings
• Driving videos
• Personal records

It makes the whole experience much more interactive.

2. Wear Comfortable Clothing

You’ll be walking around the park between activities, so sneakers are definitely recommended.

3. Secure Loose Items

Free lockers are available before racing, and you’ll need to store bags and loose belongings before getting into the kart.

4. Visit Earlier in the Day

Queues tend to become longer later in the afternoon.

Morning visits usually give you more flexibility to enjoy multiple rides and indoor attractions.

5. Allow Enough Time

I’d recommend setting aside at least 3–4 hours.

If you’re planning to try multiple races and indoor games, you could easily spend half a day here.
