The 2026 Busan International Children's Book Fair takes place December 3–6 at Hall 2 of BEXCO Exhibition Center 1 in Busan. Visitors interested in children's books and reading culture should check the venue and daily schedule before setting out.
Opening hours are 10:00–18:00 on December 3–5 and 10:00–17:00 on Sunday, December 6. Entry closes 30 minutes before the advertised closing time each day.
The official admission policy distinguishes adults by consent to receive marketing information. Entry is free if you agree to receive such information and costs KRW 10,000 if you do not. This policy applies whether you register in advance or at the venue. Consent is a personal privacy choice; review the option and price before submitting registration.
Children under 14 enter free regardless of that consent choice, but must complete a simple on-site registration. For advance registrants, the official process includes entering personal information, receiving a barcode via Kakao notification, scanning it at an on-site kiosk and obtaining a badge.
Talks and other activities may have separate registration rules. Admission to the exhibition hall is not proof of a place in a particular session. Check the fair's official program pages for any additional booking requirements.
