How Baby-Friendly is Ihwa-dong Mural Village?
What makes it 34% Baby-Friendly: Steep stairways block strollers, cafés rarely offer changing tables, and nursing rooms are 10 minutes away at Hyehwa Station, so visiting with a baby in a carrier is possible but inconvenient.
Positives:
- Free Admission: No entry fee lets you explore at your own pace without worrying about tickets.
- Visual Stimulation: Bright murals and playful designs keep a baby’s attention during the walk.
Challenges:
- Stairs and Narrow Alleys: Steep steps and tight paths mean strollers aren’t usable; use a sling instead.
