Why it matters now

The museum's October 9 notice extended trial free admission through October 27, 2026, with paid operation scheduled for October 28. However, since October 26 the official meteorological museum website has been suspended for maintenance until further notice. Current reservations and whether the price change will take effect cannot be verified there; the maintenance notice directs visitors to Naver reservations.

Why go

Learn the science behind everyday weather through interactive activities. Educational classes and special displays may require separate bookings.
