At its Centum City branch, the retailer is offering discounted ice rink passes and half-day Kidzania tickets. Daegu Shinsegae is running discount promotions at the trampoline park Bounce and its aquarium.

The Gimhae branch is giving out one free ride pass for its Play Park attraction, while Daejeon Shinsegae is discounting three-hour passes to the sports experience facility Sports Monster.

The Uijeongbu branch is offering CGV movie ticket discounts. The Cheonan-Asan branch has prepared discount benefits for customers purchasing books at Kyobo Book Centre. At the Times Square branch, the retailer has arranged discount vouchers for Jurungjourung, an indoor animal experience space, catering to families looking for an outing during the holiday.

Several food and beverage pop-up stores are also planned. Daegu Shinsegae will feature Hoildang and Taco Master, while Centum City will host an O'Donut pop-up. At Daejeon Shinsegae Art & Science, Yakimatsuri will set up shop, and the main branch will host Pangpang Salad Bread.

Customers who participate in holiday events will receive a Poobilla keyring and patch set. A range of interactive activities will also be available, including a yutnori game event as well as air ball, lucky ball and a coloring step challenge.

In addition, the department store is rolling out brand promotions across fashion, sports and kids categories under its "Active Fall" theme. Its online channel Beyond Shinsegae will also offer autumn outing-related products at special prices. Full event details and coupon benefits are available on the Shinsegae Department Store app.

"We have prepared content the whole family can enjoy together — not just shopping, but food, cultural experiences and interactive events," said Lee Seong-hwan, executive director of sales strategy at Shinsegae Department Store. "We will continue to offer diverse content so customers can find new enjoyment even after chuseok."
