The Seoul-style Kids Cafe Euncheon-dong branch (32, Gukhoedangi 4-gil, Gwanak-gu) was created by utilizing idle space on the third floor of a community SOC complex, covering an area of 252 square meters. Notably, the Euncheon-dong branch is the only Seoul-style Kids Cafe exclusively designed for infants under 24 months. It features an affordable baby spa facility, which has received a highly positive response from residents since its pilot operation last month.

The spa facility is designed with glass at the front so that guardians can easily observe their children, and items such as tubes, water play toys, and body towels are freely available. In addition to the baby spa, a separate playroom enables children to enjoy not only water play but also various other activities.

The Euncheon-dong branch is open to all Seoul citizens, with eligibility limited to infants aged 6 months to under 24 months and their guardians. It operates three sessions daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and is closed on Mondays and public holidays. The usage fee is 3,000 won per child (including one accompanying guardian), and reservations must be made in advance online through the Woori Dongnae Childcare Portal (icare.seoul.go.kr).

Gwanak-gu remodeled the Boramae-dong and Nanhyang-dong branches, which had operated as shared childcare rooms until last year, transforming them into themed kids cafes offering experiences such as flour play and pottery making. Both locations underwent a pilot operation period and are scheduled to officially open within this month. In Seonghyeon-dong, a unique theme has been selected, and design services for a new kids cafe are underway with the goal of opening in the first half of next year.

Park Junhee, Mayor of Gwanak-gu, stated, "The Seoul-style Kids Cafe is a space where children can develop their limitless imagination and healthy emotional growth, regardless of weather or other external conditions." He added, "We will continue to do our best to create various childcare spaces, including kids cafes, to make Gwanak-gu a great place to raise children."
