Why it matters now

Free admission is scheduled from October 7 through October 11, 2026. The same official October schedule lists special night opening on October 9–10, with last entry at 21:00 and viewing until 21:30. The broader 2026 night-opening program runs Fridays and Saturdays through October 31. These are temporary October conditions, not standard daily hours; check the live homepage before departure for any construction-related entrance change.

Why go

Useful for travelers who want a slower green day without leaving the city. It works well for families, garden enthusiasts and visitors pairing Sejong’s central park area with an indoor conservatory-style stop.
