Inside Jeju’s Lemon Museum in Jeju: A Lemon Farm, Cafe, and Hands-On Experience
Last Updated on January 19, 2026
When people think of Jeju fruit, tangerines usually steal the spotlight. Winter photos of orange-filled baskets, roadside tangerines, and citrus-themed cafes are practically synonymous with the island. But farmers on this island in Korea have been branching out into other sweet crops including kiwi and lemon, oh and not so sweet but delicious olives too!
And so we found our way to the Lemon Museum (레몬뮤지엄), not so much a museum in actuality, but a very friendly lemon farm that invites visitors to slow down, sip something zesty, and experience a different side of Jeju’s agriculture. Part cafe, part experience space, and part photo-friendly farm, the Lemon Museum is family-friendly and something unexpected you might want to add to your Jeju itinerary.

A Chill Lemon Cafe with Views
The cafe at Lemon Museum uses organic lemons grown right on site in almost every drink and dessert. There is coffee available, but why come for that? Definitely opt for that vitamin C pick-me-up in the lemonade, lemon-based teas, or from the lemon ice cream.
The cafe seating it on the second floor and on clear days, you’ll have a fantastic view out toward Hallasan Mountain through the giant windows. If you’re with a group and not everyone wants to get hands-on downstairs, the cafe is a fine place to take a seat and relax.
Lemon Experiences & Classes
Only a museum in name, this lemon farm invites you to get hands on. If you just rock up without reservation, you can opt to go lemon picking. Staff will take you to the greenhouse and show you which lemons to look for. They’ll also give you a little info on other varieties of citrus you’ll find inside as well as point out what may be the biggest highlight for the little ones, the peacocks and turkeys they have wandering around.
They also offer seasonal experiences to make lemon syrup and lemon jelly, or other lemon-based craft classes. These classes should be reserved in advance. Reservations can be made via Naver, but if you can’t sort that out, just message them on Instagram. They would also accept walk-ins if the class isn’t yet full.
After spending some time in the greenhouse, we headed back into the main building to make our lemon concoctions. If your child is 10 or older, they can manage mostly on their own. Children under 10 can also participate, but they recommend that a parent does the slicing of the lemons as they are using sharp serrated knives.
From slicing to juicing and then it’s time for mixing.
Lemons plus sugar plus sugar juice. The teacher is so friendly and helpful. She said that the farmer had a tangerine farm here but about a decade ago switched to lemons and found they are actually easier to farm here. Now in his 80s, he has staff that assists but he’s still there working and taking care of the birds on the farm.
The class isn’t super difficult. It’s perfect for kids that want to get hands-on. Of course this gave my daughter all kinds of ideas about how easy it is to make syrups and now she’s back home wondering what else she can slice, dice, juice, and create.
We found the Lemon Museum was a great family-friendly stop in Jeju. Something a bit different to see and do. If you’re looking for something for your kids to do, this could be it!
