'Seoul-type Kids Cafe Money' Usage Expanded to 26 Locations

20% Discount at Private Kids Cafe

Seoul City announced on the 13th that it has increased the number of locations accepting the 'Seoul-type Kids Cafe Money' gift certificate from 22 to 26 by adding 4 new locations (Kkomanoriter in Yangcheon-gu, Pangpangfore in Gangseo-gu, Little Bef in Guro-gu, and Kkomanoriter in Gangdong-gu).

Seoul-type Kids Cafe Money is a gift certificate that allows use of private kids cafes at a 20% discounted price. The city issued it on September 15 this year, the first nationwide, with a scale of 2 billion KRW so that not only kids cafe business owners but also children and caregivers can all benefit.

Seoul-type Kids Cafe Money can be purchased through the ‘Seoul Pay Plus app’ and 4 other payment apps (Seoul Pay+, Shinhan Play, Shinhan Sol, T-money Pay, Money Tree).

Seoul City plans to expand the monthly purchase limit per person from the current 100,000 KRW to 200,000 KRW, and the holding limit from 300,000 KRW to 500,000 KRW within this month. The usage period will also be extended from 1 year to 2 years from the purchase date. This reflects the opinions of business owners that children who want to use kids cafes should be able to visit frequently without special restrictions.

Kim Seon-soon, Director of the Women and Family Policy Office of Seoul City, said, “The Seoul-type Kids Cafe Money, issued with the purpose of coexisting with the private sector, has helped revitalize the kids cafe economy amid difficult economic conditions. Along with this, by alleviating the burden on parents visiting with their children, we will gradually expand the locations accepting the Seoul-type Kids Cafe Money gift certificate so that kids cafes can establish themselves as a representative play culture for children in Seoul.”
