The two-story interior is split between a pop-art-styled retail floor and a record-shop-inspired second level. Downstairs you'll find original Pokémon merchandise, Ditto-themed apparel and limited drops tied to the brand-new Pokopia game line — including the highly hyped 'Pale Pikachu' plush that has been reselling online for well over 140,000 KRW since opening day. Upstairs is dedicated to the Pokémon Trading Card Game, with display walls, demo tables and a quieter space where collectors can break booster packs surrounded by Ditto-themed wall art.

Tucked into the back of the ground floor, a small Ditto Cafe serves takeaway drinks and soft-serve ice cream branded in the playground's purple palette — a quick reward after the QR-code wait. Entry to the entire venue is free, but you must scan the on-site QR to register on the waitlist and wait for a notification before being let in. Combined with the 30th Anniversary Party Pop-up at Olive Young N Seongsu (5 minutes away) and the Pokémon Secret Forest in nearby Seoul Forest, the playground forms part of an easy, walkable Pokémon course through Seongdong.

Highlights

✦Giant Ditto sculptures and outdoor photo zones
✦30th-anniversary limited goods (Pokopia line)
✦Pokémon TCG card-game area on the 2nd floor
✦On-site Ditto Cafe with takeaway drinks & ice cream
✦Free entry with QR-based wait registration
