Three different ways to explore science
At the National Busan Science Museum in Gijang, different spaces suit different ages. The permanent halls explore automobiles, aerospace, ships, energy and medical science. The Children's Science Hall provides a separate family exhibition experience, while Saessaknuri is designed especially for very young children.
Ages 13 months to six: Saessaknuri
Saessaknuri admits children from 13 months through age six with an adult guardian; visitors aged seven to eighteen cannot enter. Each eligible child and accompanying adult needs a ticket. The museum lists a charge of KRW 1,000 per person and four sessions: 10:00–11:30, 12:00–13:30, 14:00–15:30 and 16:00–17:30. Everyone leaves when their session ends, irrespective of arrival time.
Older children: the Children's Science Hall
The Children's Science Hall is separate from Saessaknuri. The museum also sells a combination ticket covering the Children's Science Hall and permanent exhibition halls. Admission rules and charges vary by age, and children under three may be subject to different ticketing restrictions. Choose the gallery and age bracket first, then check the museum's online ticket office for the date you want.
