Leisure & Activities
Geoje City Call publishes Free Geoje Guide Maps every year. For every leisure activity you can think of, pick up the Map at the Gohyeon bus station Kiosk or the Geoje Tourist Information Centre, located on the left hand side of Route 14 before crossing the bridge to Tongyeong. Many hotels, restaurants and cafes also have them available. You can also access the map from the Geoje Tourism Website.
There are also some blogs and instagram accounts, which are a useful source of information when looking for things to do on and off the island:

ENTERTAINMENT FOR CHILDREN
In recent times Geoje has seen an increase in indoor entertainment venues for kids, more specifically in the 2-9 age group.
Some of the trampoline locations will accept older children, but ‘kids cafe’ usually refers to children under 10 years old.
For more options for older children, please refer to Sports and Recreation chapter.
