Naro Space Center Science Museum

A public space-science museum at the entrance to the Naro Space Center in Goheung, run by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). It features rockets, satellites, space exploration, 3D/4D theaters and outdoor displays. A museum visit is not access to the secured launch complex.

Hours: Official National Science Museum directory: Tue–Sun 10:00–17:30, last admission 17:00; closed Mondays, January 1, and Lunar New Year/Chuseok day.

Why it matters now

KARI's official page distinguishes the visitor museum from launch-center facilities. The National Science Museum directory lists 10:00–17:30 with last admission 17:00, KRW 3,000 for adults and KRW 1,500 for children and youths. Two sections of that directory disagree about the extra 3D/4D film ticket (KRW 1,000 versus KRW 2,000), so verify the current price by phone.

Why go

Explore Korea's space science through exhibits and, where available, film theaters and guided interpretation. Film screenings and education can have separate fees and participant limits.
