National Gwacheon Science Museum

Reviewed By SusannaG42

We travelled all the way here for my 4 year old dino-obsessed son. We thought it was totally worth it! Word of warning - taxis are hard to come by so you are probably better off prebooking your ride. The main exhibit hall was great - lots of informative stuff in English. They also have separate buildings for an Insectarium (which we didn’t go to) and a Space Centre (which we did but left quickly as it was all in korean and we understood nothing). There’s a Dino park outside as well with Dino statues which my son loved taking photos of.

KAI Aerospace Museum

Reviewed By James48843

One of the very few places in the world to see an intact B-29 bomber, and also has one of just seven remaining C-124 Globemaster II airplanes. This is a comprehensive collection of both korean-made aircraft, and mostly US made aircraft, mostly having been flown either by Korean Air Forces, or in support of korea's defense. If you are a history buff, especially an aviation history buff, this place is a must-see.

I came here again, after visiting 2 years ago when I had tight time constraints. I was able to see all of the attractions in good detail, and some of the exhibits had been updated too. This is an excellent display of the history of electrical/electronic technology from the discovery of electricity to the technology of today, featuring many Samsung products produced over the last 50 years. Be sure to make a reservation or email for an appointment if visiting Monday to Friday, as visits are normally restricted to appointments only. No reservation is needed on Saturdays. 15-1 bus from Suwon station is the easiest way to get there and back.

I loved how not only did they have a lot of things on display but also that you could actually use and play with the majority of things they had on display. Time flied and staff was very helpful every time I needed any help. Would go again.
