Moru, where mom, dad, and children can all take a quiet time of their own to read

Now we live in the time where it is easier to find ‘No-kids Zone’ than ‘Yes-Kids Zone’. You want to get away from the busy city and have a quiet, leisurely weekend, but it’s difficult to find just the right place if you are both office workers and have little kids. But here are a couple of places where both grownups and children can be happy. They are ‘Haevichi Hotel & Resort Jeju’ and ‘Guesthouse Jijihyan’ in Paju publishing city, where you can relax and read your favorite books.

Children’s library in a resort - Haevichi Hotel & Resort Jeju ‘Moru’

Moru is free for use if you are staying at the resort with children under the age of 13

Is there any space for our kids to run around freely? This is the first question parents consider when they are trying to select where to stay on their travels. This is why Haevichi Hotel & Resort is loved by its family travelers, because Haevichi Hotel & Resort has allowed about 100 pyeong of its sunny ground floor land to operate its children’s play space, ‘Moru’. It’s open from 9 in the morning until 10 at night, free for use for all guests who are staying with children younger than the age of 13.

Moru is not just a kids’ cafe. It’s an emotional educational space equipped with books and materials that help the development of children’s five senses. It is largely consisted of three different spaces; the children’s library ‘Library Zone’, ‘Kids Atelier Zone’ where kids can experience various programs, and ‘Lounge Cafe’, a place to snack in between reading.

Moru is equipped with about 3,000 books and materials selected by educational experts

First of all, the ‘Library Zone’ is special in that it is divided into different age zones of 1~3 years old, 3~5 years old, and 5~10 years old. It is equipped with around 3,000 of books and materials and educational smart pads selected by educational experts. Children can pick out whatever suits their needs and start reading freely here.

There’s no time to get bored. Once you are done with your focused reading, now is the time to play with world famous educational toys and materials from brands such as Janod, Hape, Bigjigs, etc. Mom and dad don’t have to bring heavy toys all the way to the travel destination - at Moru you can play with 18 different educational toys including sense dolls, animal farm, wooden blocks, etc.

Moru, for a free reading and fun studying time

The ‘Kids Atelier Zone’ carries out educational programs for a fee upon prior reservation. Programs include various fun activities such as making seashell frames and pet dolls, etc., which makes learning a lot more fun. Of course, it’s not just a space for kids. Kids care programs are also available upon reservation which allow mothers and fathers to take a leisurely reading time in a luxurious setting. How about planning a sunny reading and a nap under the Jeju sunshine with Moru?
