Hi, I’m Tabi!

Gwacheon in Gyeonggi-do offers a major park and science exhibitions. Check each facility’s entrance and access arrangements and give one place a relaxed first visit.

This guide covers places within Gwacheon, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Seoul Grand Park

서울대공원

Despite its name, Seoul Grand Park is in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do. The zoo, botanical garden and other facilities have separate arrangements; the photo shows an approach walkway in 2014. Check admission, works and closures rather than assuming current exhibits or lift operation.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02

A first-visit stop

Gwacheon National Science Museum

국립과천과학관

Explore scientific principles and technology through exhibits and activities. Gallery entry, booked programs and astronomy sessions can have different conditions. Check ages, closures, photography and participation; no exhibit is guaranteed continuously operational.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Gwacheon’s official restaurant list includes duck dining in Gwacheon-dong and octopus dining in Byeoryang-dong. These are local meal examples with designation information from 2010, not claims about culinary origins or current operation, menus, prices or grades. Check meat, seafood, seasonings and allergies with the vendor.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
