How to Find the DDP Luggage Storage

As you exit the subway station and head towards DDP, you'll soon see this view on your right!

From here, enter the door on your left to access the elevators!

Go through the door clearly marked D1...

As soon as you enter, take the elevator on your left!

Head up to the 1st floor.

Just to clarify, this section of DDP is called the Design Lab.

Once you arrive on the 1st floor, exit the elevator and turn left. You'll see a large screen. Walk past it, continuing to your left.

Keep walking left, and about halfway down that corridor, you'll discover the DDP luggage lockers!

DDP Luggage Storage: Will My Bag Fit? What Are the Fees?

When I visited to see an exhibition, I was carrying quite a bit and really wished there was a place to store my belongings. Unfortunately, within the DDP Museum exhibition halls themselves, there weren't any storage options.

I also noticed many travelers with suitcases, and thankfully, the DDP luggage storage offers a variety of locker sizes!

Especially for those of us needing to store larger luggage, you'll find generously sized large lockers available, perfect for big suitcases.

Using the lockers is straightforward – just follow the instructions on the screen. But let's talk about the fees!

Here's a breakdown of the DDP locker prices, summarized in the table below:

After dropping off my bags, I genuinely enjoyed my time exploring DDP and the exhibitions so much more. If you've been hesitant to explore DDP or the Dongdaemun area because of heavy luggage, I highly recommend using these lockers!

Traveling hands-free truly makes for a more satisfying experience.

What if I Need More Time? Understanding Overtime Fees

The DDP luggage storage operates on a 4-hour pricing cycle. If you exceed this initial period, an additional 4-hour fee will be charged for each subsequent 4-hour block or portion thereof.

For example, if you use a locker for 5 hours, you'll effectively be charged for 8 hours (the initial 4 hours plus another 4-hour overtime fee). Keep this in mind to avoid unexpected costs!

Final Thoughts

Just like me, who once struggled with heavy bags, you can now enjoy a hands-free and unforgettable experience at DDP, thanks to these convenient luggage lockers!
