3. Exploring the National Ecology Center
Even though the weather was a bit gloomy and rain was forecasted, I was relieved that it didn’t actually rain!
The Eco-Rium is the main attraction here, and if you’re aiming to explore quickly, the West Entrance near the Seocheon Junction is the best route.
I recommend using the Eco-Rium Parking Lot near Janghang Station as it’s closer.
Opening hours:
- 9:30 AM – 6:00 PM (Last entry 1 hour before closing)
- Closed on Mondays (except for holidays like May 5)
We arrived early, and since the weather wasn’t great, the crowds were light in the morning. If you want a peaceful visit, I’d recommend coming earlier.
