Meaning difference between try and try out

"A range of traditional games are set up for families, especially kids, to try out new activities and for foreigners to experience Korean culture."

Can I say "try new activities" for the same meaning as "try out new activities" here?

As I tried it once today, I believe I can catch more when I visit again."

Can I say "tried it out once" for the same meaning as "tried it once"?

What is the meaning difference between try and try out?

Thank you so much as usual in advance!

Hans51 What is the meaning difference between try and try out? 'try out' is a more thorough experience. You can often use either 'try' or 'try out' without changing the meaning too much, but 'try out' suggests experiencing what is tried by doing it from beginning to end to see if you really like it.
